...oldtime Portlanders were not convinced this was the final word on the future of their most famous newspaper. When Henry Pittock's 470 shares of stock are distributed among five heirs next year, almost anything can happen. And back of this uncertain prospect loomed the tenacious shadow of the other giant who built the Oregonian-its famed, longtime (1865-1910) editor, Harvey Whitefield Scott, who died convinced that Henry Pittock had double-crossed...
...women's championship for the second year in a row, and then went on to upset golf's famed medal jinx by winning the tournament. Patty Berg made national headlines two years earlier when, as a 17-year-old unknown, she reached the final of the U. S. women's championship in her first try, and then gave her opponent, famed Glenna Collett Vare, a few anxious moments before yielding the title, 3 & 2. Last year Patty Berg came through to the U.

Women's Final. On the distaff side, the semi-final between Alice Marble (seeded second to Helen Jacobs) and crafty Sarah Palfrey Fabyan made up for the lacklustre men's matches. Playing her usual powerful but erratic game, onetime Champion Marble twice came within a point of defeat before taking the match, 5-7, 7-5, 7-5. Next day, playing against Nancye Wynne, 21-year-old Melbourne stenographer who had beaten California's Dorothy Bundy on her way to the final, Alice Marble needed just 22 minutes to win the championship...
