...shouted in alarm, women and children screamed. The glass top of the coffin was smashed in. Inside lay the false Blackamon, dead, his hands and face horribly gashed by broken glass.

Four times par was broken and once it was equalled, but the final scores in a field of 49 were a long parade beginning 14 strokes behind the par 320 scored by chunky, freckle-some Helen Hicks of Long Island. She had two course-record-breaking 78's to start with, which gave her subsequent...
