Sirs: The following are extracts from newspaper accounts of the golf classic played at the Oakmont Country Club course this week. . . .

Tommy stopped his swing at the top . . . asked the woman to observe golfing etiquette . . . but the damage had been done. . . ."

Dirty, bumpy bricks at Indianapolis Speedway will once a year bring fame and fortune to an automobilist, if he will travel over them a sufficient number of times at a speed in the neighborhood of 100 miles per hour. This year the winner of the 500-mile "classic" on the two and a half mile track is a youngster comparatively unknown, a dirt track specialist-George Souders, 27, who spends his more serious moments studying mechanical engineering at Purdue University in Lafayette, Ind. In a Duesenberg special, he covered the 500 miles of bricks at an average speed...
