While Gene Sarazen has been devoting profitable days to posing in the glare of the cinema calcium, Walter Hagen has won three southern tournaments in two short weeks. In each of the three he has established local records. The first was Belleair; the second, Asheville; the third, the North and South championship at Pinehurst. To defeat a field which included Cyril Walker, Jim Barnes and Jock Hutchison (who finished in the order named) Hagen was forced to a record-breaking 289 for 72 holes...
Author's Pajamas? Lewis St. Clair, popular novelist, arose from his perfumed couch, par took of a frugal breakfast of spaghetti and vodka, and stepped out into the glare of his prominence. His 5,000,000 readers, of varying sexes and doubtful ages, gave little excited shivers and trained their opera glasses immediately upon him.

Mark Twain started the thankless job. Unflinchingly he exposed the Father of our country, showing not only that the magnificent truth about the cherry tree was a sagacious bit of publicity which led directly to the Presidency, but that his supplementary statement that "he could not tell a lie" was even more carefully calculated to preserve his name to perpetuity. Now a beacon-light of politics is shattered when we learn that...
