Norton established several subsidiaries, including the ''Sportsman'' (1900), the ''Brisbane Truth'' (1900), the Melbourne ''Truth'' (1902) and the Perth ''Truth'' (1903 to 1931), and an Adelaide ''Truth'' (1916-1964)''.''

Born in Troon, Adams turned professional when 14, and won the Irish Professional Championship, in 1933.

When the Championship resumed after World War II, he was fourth in 1951, and in 1954, Adams was the only player to break 70 in both the final two rounds at Royal Birkdale with a pair of 69s, but his effo ...
