Unvarying is the traditional Keeley routine. An incoming inebriate pays $160, plus room and board, must stay for 31 days. His whiskey ration is gradually tapered off: eight ounces the first day, six ounces the second, four ounces the third, none from then on. Four times a day he gets gold chloride injections; every two hours he takes a tonic. At the end of the course, Keeley Drs. Robert Estill Maupin, Bert Trippeer and Andrew Jackson McGee look him over, ask him if he still feels the "irresistible craving of nerve cells for alcohol." Usually he says no. How many...
...Davidson, "I made a bold step, administering the filtrate to a human subject with carcinoma of the breast, who had previously been given a special high vitamin-content diet." To his delight, the cancer dried up, and in a year the woman was able to walk three or four miles every day. However, when she left her vitamin diet, the cancer soon returned and she died shortly afterward.

Bobby Jones, who won it five times, used to call the National Amateur a nightmare. One flubbed iron, one balky putt, and the ruling champion often finds himself among the spectators...
...final, Ward took the first nine one up, was four up at the end of the first 18. Billows had him even only once, on the eighth. In the afternoon round, Ward blazed through the first nine to become seven up. On the 13th, with five holes to play, he was still seven up and national champion. Ward hits super-lengthy drives, on-in-two brassies, crisp irons, but the answer to last week's feat lay in his putter. In the 66 holes he had to play in the last two rounds, he one-putted 29 greens, three...
