Dropping his search in the world field and turning his eyes toward home, the Man-of-the-Year-hunter would discover no likely candidates in the realm of sport. No golfer won more than one big match, and Robert Tyre Jones's record of 1930 (British & U. S. open, British & U. S. amateur) had not been remotely approached. Frank Shields, who was left off the Davis Cup team for his erratic playing, was named No. 1 U. S. tennist, after Ellsworth Vines turned professional. As picked by the Pulitzer Prize judges, Maxwell Anderson's Both Your Houses might...
...lives out on fashionable Peachtree Street in a rambling two-story house on a five-acre lot not far from Washington Seminary, famed girls' school. A good Baptist, he helped sponsor Billy Sunday's Atlanta meetings. A member of East Lake Country Club, he golfs with Robert Tyre Jones Sr. there and also at Highlands, N.

The course-6,700 yd. from the back tees -was designed by Golf Architect Allister MacKenzie, with Jones's help. Intended to be the "ideal course" for both experts and dubs, it contained only 22 traps. Its appearance-rolling ground in a pleasant valley edged by pine trees-suggested that another Bobby Jones, Stage Designer Robert Edmond Jones, had done the settings. Jones escorted foursomes of new members and celebrities invited...
Sportsman of the Year was certainly Golfer Gene Sarazen who by winning both the British and U. S. open championships came as close as any professional can to Robert Tyre Jones Jr.'s record in 1930. Yet Sarazen flubbed the Professional Championship, did not even qualify. Josef Paul Cuckoschay (Jack Sharkey) of Boston retrieved the world's heavyweight boxing championship for the U. S. from Germany's Maximilian Adolf Otto Siegfried Schmeling in a bout that satisfied few patrons. All-around athlete of 1932 was Mildred ("Babe") Didrikson of Dallas who scored more individual points...
