...third best amateur in the 1929 U. S. Open, second-best in 1930, best in 1932 and again last year. In 1933 he finally won the Open against a field of top-notch professionals. In the U. S. Amateur, he was runner-up in 1932, a semifinalist in 1935 and 1936. Last year he finally won the Amateur to become the first golfer since Jones to win both the Open and Amateur. He has broken 64 records and won 60 tournaments in his career. In one department Goodman has a better record than Jones: he has made six holes...
...better clothes. He was third-best amateur in the 1929 U. S. Open second-best in 1930, best in 1932 and again this year. In 1933 he won the Open against a held of crack professionals. In the U S Amateur he was runner-up in 1932 and a semifinalist in 1935 and 1936, but never won it. Last week he seemed overdue...
Omaha's Johnny Goodman, who had come a long way since he rode to his first tournament blind baggage seven years ago, was teamed with Lawson Little of San Francisco.

Two days later Helen Jacobs took the step penultimate to what she hoped would be her first U. S. championship by beating another British semifinalist, Mrs. Elsie Goldsack Pittman, 6-2, 6-3. Either way the Babcock-Jacobs match turned out it was a much more dramatic final than anyone had expected. The biggest gallery of the week-2,500-knew that it might turn out to be the triumph that Helen Jacobs has been waiting...
...ablest golfemale whom great Britain-and perhaps the world- possesses. It was the third time in as many years that Miss Wethered had made this ladies' championship demonstration. In her six 18-hole matches this year, she permitted none of her opponents save Miss Cecil Leitch, semifinalist, to survive beyond the 14th green. Miss Leitch reached the 15th. In the 36-hole final, Miss D. R. Fowler walked back to the clubhouse from the 29th...
