...initial polishing of an extremely rough diamond goes to Mrs. Lewis, a onetime Iowa schoolmarm. Like the wife and scion of any prosperous businessman, Mrs. Lewis and her only son John L. Jr. were last week on their way to Europe for a summer vacation. About on a par with the decor of a successful mine superintendent's home is that of John L.

Baltusrol's Upper course-entirely distinct from the Lower, where the Amateur was played ten years ago-proved unexpectedly easy. Fourteen scores were under par 72. After two rounds, the field was cut to the low 60. Seventeen golfers tied for 60th with 151. Defending Champion Sam Parks, who profited less from his title than any other Open winner since the War, was eliminated with a score...
