...determination, Hughes kept bunting shots past Winston Guest, who played at back as though he thought his opposing No. 1 were not worth bothering with. When, in the fourth chukker, chunky little Hughes poked the ball between the posts three times, England was only a goal behind. When Guinness scored again for England in the sixth, the score was tied at 7-all, and what had started as a rout was momentarily the tightest U. S. v. England polo since...
...Jersey's Baltusrol Golf Club last week as a spectator. If, sitting in the locker room after he had finished playing, he had chanced to read it, Golfer Harry Cooper of Chicago might have felt reassured. Cooper had just posted not 287 but 284. This was the best score ever made in the Open, two strokes better than the record made by Chick Evans at Minikahda in 1916. only one stroke over the British Open Record made by Gene Sarazen in 1932. The only golfer in the field who still had a chance of beating it was an obscure...
...40th U. S. Open was a surprise to the field of 164 players assembled from 28 golfing districts as the best the U.S. had to offer. Baltusrol's Upper course-entirely distinct from the Lower, where the Amateur was played ten years ago-proved unexpectedly easy. Fourteen scores were under par 72.

For his fourth round he had a shaky 73 which was still good enough to make his final score look solid. Dour-faced old Macdonald Smith, who tied with his brother for the Open in 1910 and has narrowly missed winning it more often than any other golfer in the world, had needed to gain five strokes to tie. He gained only one. Handsome Victor Ghezzi, needing a final...
...Lucas, who is a good friend of old Mrs. Edward Townsend Stotesbury. For years the Kents have been going to Bar Harbor every summer, to Palm Beach every winter. Kent yachts ply all the waters from Maine to Florida. The Kent garages must be big enough to hold a score of cars, for Mr. Kent dislikes driving the same car two days in succession. He used to buy them second hand, tinker them himself...
