...boss's daughter, married her and quit pitching to run the concessions at the ball park. The night the ball park burned down, Johnny Suggs became a father. He and his new family moved 15 miles to Lithia Springs, Ga.; there Johnny took over a combined golf course and-picnic grounds. At three, his roly-poly daughter, Louise, was traipsing around the course after him, swinging at golf balls with a baseball grip...
Last week, Johnny Suggs's daughter, now 24, fought through to the final round of the Women's National Amateur Golf Championship at the Franklin Hills Country Club (Detroit). Her opponent was Fellow Atlantan Dorothy Kirby, who is considered, by home-towners, a shade the better. Dorothy, whose playing form is good, is high-strung, and apt to show it under pressure. Louise is a trim 5 ft. 3 in., with a roundhouse swing that would look good on a ballplayer swinging for the fences...
...played softball on the corner lot with the gang, occasionally earned pocket money by sneaking onto neighboring golf courses to retrieve lost balls. He could outrun the gang-and the cops-every time. But a stern talk from Ma Robinson put him out of business. She was, and is, a fervent Methodist who can be volubly graphic on the subject of hell.

He had been politely invited not to play in the same tourney 18 years ago because he worked for a sporting-goods firm. By going into the real-estate business, Johnny had in recent years regained his amateur status. In the 36-hole final, the crowd backed him, groaned when Robert ("Skee") Riegel, 32, made a brilliant shot. Riegel won 2 and 1. The new king of amateur golfers is a broad-shouldered ex-football fullback at West Point...
...tall (5 ft. 8½ in.), slim figure is still a fashionable model's size (35 in. bust, 26 waist, 36 hips). She keeps it that way by calisthenics, by often walking to work from her Manhattan house, by dieting and by plenty of golf, which she plays in the high 80s. (She wears a girdle, as thin as possible, only because she doesn't think it's "nice" to go ungirdled.) Her working dress is usually one of her own simple black $300 daytime dresses...
