Heavy with presents were the trunks. From the Met's stagehands there was a parchment scroll in a revolving bronze frame. The choristers gave a bronze plaque, the U. S. singers a silver plaque, the orchestramen a gold plaque. From Geraldine Farrar there was a silver loving cup, another from Rosa Ponselle. The administrative assistants chose a silver fitted traveling-case. The Metropolitan directors gave a silver tray with a set of resolutions. Board Chairman Paul Drennan Cravath was more practical.

The Maryland Hunt Cup race, started in 1894 when two rival fox hunts decided to see which had the best horses, is for a silver cup which Captain Kettle would have retired last week if he had been a step faster. The race is ridden by amateurs, watched for nothing...
...Texas Golf Association's women's championship. Golfer Didrikson came to the 34th hole all even with her opponent, Mrs. Dan Chandler, champion of Mexico. Mrs. Chandler got a birdie four. Babe Didrikson passed the green with her second shot, chipped her next into the cup for an eagle three. Then she won the 35th hole with a birdie four for match & title...
