...Tuttle, who took a nap in court while a score of other witnesses told how their pets had died or become sick after she fed them, freely admitted occasional cat killings, "to put them out of their misery." "But," she explained. "I never picked up an animal that was licensed or had a home...
...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.

According to the standards of professional golf, he has been financially successful ever since. Last winter his average score in the circuit of winter tournaments was 71.63, an alltime record. His failure to climax this by winning the Masters' at Augusta, No. 2 open tournament of the U.S., came when his ball failed by inches to carry a stream. Byron Nelson, following him, gained three strokes at that...
