...hideously sweated labor. One of the members of the Forbes mission, President Roosevelt's Georgia neighbor, Cason Callaway, followed it by helping to promote the agreement concluded last winter between U. S. and Japanese cotton textile men, freezing Japan's export quotas at 255,000,000 yd. for 1937-38. These visits stirred the shrewd and courteous Japanese to reciprocity. Last month Mr. Forbes became chairman of a national reception committee for the first Japanese Economic Mission to the U. S. since...
...holed a 50-footer for a birdie on the fifth. He took a weak bogey on the sixth and parred the seventh. This left him needing to shoot one under par for eleven holes to tie Snead. Guldahl met the situation with a screaming eagle 3 on the 491-yd. eighth, a birdie 2 on the short ninth, to be out in 33 and three shots under Snead to that point...

Thereupon Pitt's Woodruff, in the quarter-and half-mile races, duplicated Johnson's double victory, loping through the quarter-mile...
...holiday. Of 33 starters, 14 dropped out with motor trouble, only one had real trouble-a crash which knocked out both driver and mechanic. First to finish was dapper little Wilbur Shaw of Indianapolis, who set a new record for the race by averaging 113.58 m.p.h. Only 20 yd. behind was Ralph Hepburn of Los Angeles in the car which Louis Meyer drove to victory last year. Third was Ted Horn, also of Los Angeles. To winner Shaw went some $40,000, mostly put up by automobile men who consider the race a good way to test their products...
