...Tournament by virtue of what is probably golf's most historic single stroke -a 220-yd. spoon shot that finished in the hole for a double-eagle 2 on the Augusta National's 485-yd. 15th hole. What Nelson did last week was not quite so spectacular but it was equally effective. He got a birdie 3 at the tenth hole, a par 4 at the nth, a birdie 2 at the 12th, an eagle 3 at the 13th. On the 12th, where his ball had failed by inches to carry a water hazard, Guldahl had taken...
...Most spectacular prospector-tycoon is Jack Hammell, a onetime professional fisticuffer from the mining camps of California who quit a good brokerage house job in Manhattan to head for the Klondike.

Manager Parsons of the Show Boat shot Motherly Dean of Women Carrie Taylor Cubbage an earnest wire: HELOISE MARTIN IS A GOOD GIRL STOP SHE IS ONE GIRL UNSPOILED BY BROADWAY. And Heloise convinced Dean Cubbage (but nobody else) that she had not posed nude in the shower, as the picture indicated, but in a "flesh leotard, which is similar to a bathing suit. And besides I understood the picture would show only from...
Novae have been spotted so frequently that astronomers believe every star must go through this spectacular performance once or more in the billions of years of its life. Hence if M. Belorizky has interpreted his findings correctly, the universe may be full of planetary systems too distant for any telescope to detect...
