...turned out, he was merely clearing a troublesome opponent out of Riggs's way. Duckwalking Bobby had little to do late in the week but watch Welby wallop stylists like Elwood Cooke and Wayne Sabin (who beat Quist). When the final round came Sunday afternoon, 21-year-old Bobby knew how to handle Welby. Bobby kept him moving, fed him no setup lobs, passed him at the net, caught him flustered and flatfooted with service aces, finished him off in straight sets, 6-4, 6-2, 6-4. Bobby won the title, but the boy they talked about...
...odds were 3-1 on Nova. But what went on after the opening bell made mugs of many an expert-John Kieran, Hype Igoe, Jack Dempsey, Jim Braddock, Tommy Loughran. Not since the day of Elbows McFadden had fight fans seen such a bar-roomy brawl. In the first round Tony butted and backhanded. In the next, he wrestled and elbowed. Then Nova, whom the trade calls a get-even fighter, forgot his boxing orders and set out to get even. From then on he never had a chance. Tony butted, gouged, rabbit-punched, hit high & low, dropped Lou with...
Last week, after the second 18-hole round, on the sidelines were the great Johnny Goodman, who has also won the National Open (1933), Willie Turnesa, 1938 Amateur champion, many other top-flights. Still in stride, however, among the 16 survivors, were: 1) Poughkeepsie's Ray Billows, golf's handsome, glamorous, 25-year-old Cinderella Man, who got a toehold on golf fame in 1935 by driving to swank Winged Foot on the Sound in a $7 jalopy to win the New York State title; and 2) 26-year-old, icy-veined Marvin ("Bud") Ward, of Spokane...
...final, Ward took the first nine one up, was four up at the end of the first 18. Billows had him even only once, on the eighth. In the afternoon round, Ward blazed through the first nine to become seven up. On the 13th, with five holes to play, he was still seven up and national champion. Ward hits super-lengthy drives, on-in-two brassies, crisp irons, but the answer to last week's feat lay in his putter. In the 66 holes he had to play in the last two rounds, he one-putted 29 greens, three...
...months. Reason: the chemists were working with two deadly poisons, hydrogen cyanide (used in some U. S. States to execute condemned criminals) and sodium cyanide. If these began to leak from the apparatus, the sensitive little birds would collapse in time for the men to take action. Pacific, round-faced, gum-chewing Dr. Urey and his associates were not interested in poison, they were simply using the dangerous gases to make a harmless but scientifically important substance called "heavy carbon." An atom of heavy carbon weighs 13 units as compared with ordinary carbon's twelve...
