...gross sales of $3,000,000 last year, net income of $233,000. The stock of this company, whose story would make a perfect Joseph Hergesheimer novel, has always been closely held but last week Birdsboro was granted permission to list 200,000 shares of no-par common on the New York Curb Exchange. Reasons: to provide extra working capital, pay off bank loans, redeem outstanding preferred stock, establish a price for the common stock for the convenience of present owners, mostly family members and widely scattered...
...Championship always produces at least one heroic round. Last week it was provided on the second day of play by Jimmy Thomson whose gargantuan drives have made him for the past two years the most spectacular professional in the land. Golfer Thomson arrived at the 17th green needing a par and a birdie for a 64, by two strokes the lowest Open score on record. He then missed a 2-ft. putt by inches, missed another on the 18th, took a 66. Meantime the defending champion, Tony Manero was floundering around nine strokes behind the leaders, Gene Sarazen was restoring...
Last week, the course had achieved its effect by the time the last round started. Gene Sarazen had offered to bet $500 that no one would break 288 (even fours and par). Snead had predicted that he would beat 292 and finish at least second...
Starting out with the same score as Snead, Guldahl had just missed birdies on the first four holes, holed a 50-footer for a birdie on the fifth. He took a weak bogey on the sixth and parred the seventh. This left him needing to shoot one under par for eleven holes to tie Snead. Guldahl met the situation with a screaming eagle 3 on the 491-yd. eighth, a birdie 2 on the short ninth, to be out in 33 and three shots under Snead to that point...
...only at Chicago in 1933 but again in last year's Masters' tournament at Augusta, Guldahl had enjoyed a comparable situation and contrived to lose. Needing only to come home in par to win by two strokes he now made it look as though he would lose again when he pushed his drive into the rough on the tenth, took a bogey 5, and three-putted the next green. But this time, with the gallery waiting for Guldahl's game to crack wide open, it did the opposite. So calm that he appeared preoccupied, he got birdies...
