British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's mouthpiece, the Earl of Plymouth, chairman of the Sub-Committee of the International Committee on Nonintervention, early last week succeeded in pushing through that body Britain's long-discussed plan for quarantining the Spanish War in Spain. Soviet Russia finally acquiesced. Main features of the plan were closing of land frontiers, greater vigilance of ships going to Spain, stationing of neutral observers in big Spanish ports, counting of foreigners fighting on either side, eventual withdrawal. There was a chance that this agreement actually was an agreement-for three days. Then...
...Stolid, stoop-shouldered, 26-year-old Ralph Guldahl: the U. S. Open golf championship; defeating 164 of the country's top-notch amateurs and professionals; for the second year in a row; coming from behind in the last round with an astonishing sub-par 69 while the leaders were cracking all around him; for a total of 284, six strokes better than second-place Dick Metz of Chicago; over the ribbon-fairwayed Cherry Hills course, one mile above sea level; at Denver.

Important among its seven sub-chambers (literature, music, press, theatre, art, cinema, radio) is the Musikkammer, presided over by 65-year-old Peter Raabe, one of Germany's numerous lesser symphonic conductors. Every musician in Germany, from symphonic composer to drummer in a town band, must be a member of the Musikkammer. The Kammer fixes...
Started as a circulation stunt, the Golden Gloves boosted not only the number of News readers but the standard of amateur boxing as well. By dividing all the fighters who had the desire and the necessary 25? to become amateur boxers into two classes (sub-novice and open), the Daily News Athletic Association did away with the common practice of matching tough but inexperienced youngsters with ring-wise opponents according to the luck of the draw. Today, almost every city in the U. S. has its Golden Gloves tournament, which stretches over a six-week period from the first neighborhood...
