...Liverpool, England's best hope of winning the British Open golf championship died when haughty Henry Cotton took a second-round 78 and stormed off the green in a huff. One London paper consoled its readers: "For a welcome change, the Americans are not in the van." In fact, most topflight U.S. pros, including Defending Champion Sam Snead, did not even show up.* The winner: jaunty little Ulsterite Fred Daly of Belfast, who grinned and said: "It's lucky to be Irish...

Mrs. Glenna Collett Vare, five-time contender...
...huge Czechoslovakian and a slight South African were the foreigners the galleries watched most at Forest Hills. Annoyed at being made to play his second-round match in an intermittent shower, Roderick Menzel amused himself by uttering Czechoslovakian epithets, tottering about at snail's pace between points. He was put out in the fourth round. Vernon Gordon Kirby, whose father fought in the Boer War, first gained world recognition when he defeated Baron von Cramm to reach the quarter-finals at Wimbledon this year. At Forest Hills last week he put Frank Shields out in the quarterfinals, only...
