Who Won
P: Tommy Armour, one-eyed, Scottish-born professional of Detroit: by one hole, the Professional Golfers' Association championship, at Fresh Meadow Country Club, L. I., sinking a 12-ft. putt on the 36th hole against Gene Sarazen. P: Jimmy McLarnin, 140-lb. Pacific Coast Irishman: a fight at the Yankee Stadium, New York, from Al Singer, who won the world's lightweight championship two months ago (TIME, July 28) from battered Sammy Mandell; by a knockout; after 2 min. 21 sec. of the third round. McLarnin won no title because of the differences in weight.
P: Joe Hauser, first baseman for the Baltimore "Orioles" (International League): the home-run record of the world; by hitting his 61st of the year in a game with Newark. Previous recordist: George Herman ("Babe") Ruth of New York, who made 60 in 1927.
P: The Brooklyn "Robins" (National League): 11 straight games (longest winning streak this season in either league); putting them in first place, six points ahead of the St. Louis Cardinals and ten points ahead of the Chicago Cubs.
