...Alexander Kyle, 32-year-old Scot: the British Amateur Golf Championship; defeating Welshman Anthony Duncan, 2 & i, in the final; at Holyake, England. Of the five U. S. entrants-Defending Champion Charlie Yates, famed Tennist Ellsworth Vines, Connecticut Socialite Dick Chapman, "Trailer" Bill Holt of Syracuse and one Ned Phillips of Philadelphia-"Trailer" Bill Holt lasted longest (semifinal...
...events which almost nobody noticed in the midst of all these were the birth in Braunau, Austria, of a boy-child and within a year the entrance into Parliament of a young Welshman-the son of a teacher in Pwllheli, the husband of a woman from Mynyddednyfed.

Few heavyweight fights in recent years have brought forth so much wholehearted socking, done so much visible damage (see cut). It was Baer's lusty right against Farr's jabbing left. The Welshman landed oftener-and occasionally with a right that really bothered Baer-but when the former champion let loose, he came very near to ruining Farr. No one disputed Baer's victory; he was variously credited with from nine to 13 rounds. Surprising his critics by clowning only enough...
