...only twelve and hit the ball that far-it must have been 275 yds.-wow!" A year later, at 13. Jack shot a 69 from the back tees at Scioto-a 7,095-yd. championship course that has been the site of the Open, the P.G.A. and the Ryder...
...artists, collectors, critics and dealers. On the theory that what may seem trivial today could be important tomorrow, the Archives will accept or buy just about anything. It has more than a million original and microfilmed items, among them Benjamin West's wine bills, poems written by Albert Ryder, a Lyonel Feininger sketchbook, the notes and papers of Walt Kuhn.

It has a Portrait of Caleb Whitefoord by Gilbert Stuart that was at one time thought to be lost; mentioned in a London auction catalogue in 1834, it was not heard of again until a former...
