...chore cut out for them: to keep at least one major amateur golf title in their country. The chore looked harder when chunky Helen Hicks, the defending U. S. champion, failed to qualify with a miserable 89.

...Marshall Emmett Sampsell, president of Middle West controlled Central Illinois Public Service, resigned at the request of the receivers. They found he had "borrowed" 4,000 shares of its $100 par preferred from the treasury, used it as collateral on a joint bank loan with Martin Insull.
