South Carolina Run-Off. Another Democratic primary which was as good as an election was South Carolina's run-off between Olin D. Johnston and Coleman Livingston Blease for the governorship. Candidate Blease, an oldtime, free-style rabble-rouser who has managed to keep himself on the public payroll pretty consistently since 1890, concludes his Who's Who biography: "The only South Carolinian who has been mayor of his city, senator from his county, speaker of the House, president of the State Senate, governor of the State 1911-15 and U. S. senator...
...kind of golf that club champions play in the locker-room after the fifth highball. Olin Dutra, U. S. Open champion, could not qualify. Ky Laffoon (no kin to Governor Ruby Laffoon of Kentucky), young Oklahoman who has been a golf professional since he was 15, beat Horton Smith 12 up in 26 holes. Herman Barren, the only famed Jewish golf professional in the U. S., had Gene Sarazen, defending champion, 2 down at the 28th hole. Sarazen got birdies on the next two holes to square the match, then got a birdie 3 at the 33rd. sank...

He spent two days resting in Detroit, arrived in Philadelphia with a box of pills and the intention of watching the tournament instead of playing in it. His brother Mortie persuaded him not to withdraw his entry. With a caddy who had dreamed that he would win, Dutra started out, ambling slowly, using his niblick as a walking stick...
...starters who qualified needed 146 or better. In the first round, Leo Diegel lost to a long-driving young Western pro named Willie Goggin, who tied for seventh in the U. S. Open last spring. In the second round, sleek, crinkly-eyed Johnny Farrell put out Olin ("King Kong") Dutra, the defending champion, 1 up. There is always one comparatively unknown golfer who does well in the P. G. A. but last week there were two in the round of eight: Goggin and Hines. The real surprise of the tournament came when both won ther matches-Hines 4 & 3 against...
