...arguments centred around: 1) Defending Champion Johnny Goodman and whether he could win the Amateur for the second year in a row; 2) Atlanta's Charley Yates and whether he could add the U. S. title to the British Amateur title he won last spring; 3) Professional Tennist Ellsworth Vines, onetime U. S. amateur tennis champion, and whether he could reach the final - and thereby duplicate the feat of Mary K. Browne, tennis champion in 1912-13-14, who reached the final of the U.

...believe in the divinity (but hot deity) and the teachings of a human Jesus Christ. Unitarianism made its appearance in the Christian world in the 16th Century, grew in the U. S. in the 18th Century, became a loosely organized faith in 1825. U. S. Unitarians are proud that Ellsworth Huntington, in The Character of Races, proved that in proportion to their small numbers (at present, 61,000) Unitarians had produced more U. S. leaders than any other sect...
