...Golfer Jimmy Hines of Garden City, N. Y.: the Metropolitan Open Championship, first event on the richest summer golf schedule on record, in which prize money for 19 tournaments will total $100,000; with 279 for four rounds, to 280 for Henry Picard, 283 for Sam Snead whose record-breaking 65 was canceled when rain forced the second round to be replayed; at Bloomfield...
...Lehigh Valley Railroad, whose 1,300 mi. of track in Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey run through some of the finest scenery and richest anthracite resources in the U. S., received 26% more from coal shipments last year than in 1935. Since the Lehigh is primarily a coal-carrier, this meant Recovery. With coal & steel booming on merrily, last week rugged Edward Eugene Loomis, president of the road for 20 years, retired to become board chairman. Elected to succeed him was Scottish-born Duncan John Kerr, a rail-road man since 1904, when he arrived...
...comprehensive prehistoric art collection in itself. Almost invisible, all the way across the top reach two hazy white elephants. Drawn in profile with only two feet, they are among man's earliest attempts at graphic representation, doubtless done early in the Aurignacian period. But the Mtoko mural is richest in its examples of later (Solutrean, Magdalenian, Mesolithic, Neolithic) art work, whose humans are always drawn in the frontal, wedge-trunk position (as in Egyptian art), whose women are handily identified by little bumps on their chests and whose animals, the quagga and antelope, are far more accurately observed...
Contrary to popular impression, the Kentucky Derby, in which a score of able U. S. three-year-old horses will this week race1¼ miles at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Ky., is not the oldest, the richest or the best U. S. horse race. It is the most famed U. S. horse race and indubitably- in crowds, excitement, importance to the U. S. scene-the biggest. Last week the amiable, horsey city of Louisville was busy removing traces of the $52,000,000 damage left by last winter's flood in preparation for the one day in the year...
...ablest baseballers who ever lived, famed Tyrus Raymond ("Ty") Cobb is now one of the world's richest retired athletes. His fortune consists mostly of fat Coca-Cola holdings which he bought long ago on advice from his hunting crony, Coca-Cola's President Bob Woodruff. When he quit professional baseball in 1928, Cobb toured Europe with his wife and four of their five children, went to Scotland for a season's shooting, returned to his 10,000-acre farm in his native Georgia. Five years ago, he bought a house at Atherton, Calif., 30 miles south...
