Last week's nuptials, involving two pairs of sisters, brought the season's total of weddings among males of the Raleigh crew to 15. A 16th wedding was postponed because Seaman Charles Shapperly of Haw River, N. C. had neglected to post his banns ten days in advance, and the Raleigh sailed for Marseille...
Upborne on one of Denver's first re- form waves, Mayor Robert W. Speer was re-elected in 1908 and promptly closed all the city's gambling houses. Of these the toughest, most renowned was the old Arcade at 16th and Larimer streets. The Arcade's owner, a Serb named Vaso L. Chucovich, contributed heavily to the mayor's campaign, remained his warm friend, grew rich in Denver real estate and on his death in 1933 left $100,000 for a Robert W. Speer memorial. Denver's wrangles over the execution of this bequest have...
Stretching across the fairway at "Grumley's," famed 16th and hoodoo hole of the windy Southporty & Ainsdale course in Lancashire, is a 30-ft. sand bunker faced with black railroad ties. The barrier must be cleared on the second shot or the approach to the green is blind. At Grumley's bunker last week non-playing Captain Hagen's two daring selections came to the test. In the morning round, Nelson & Dudley, trailing at the 16th, rallied to clear the bunker for a birdie 4. They returned to Grumley's in the afternoon 3 up. Golfer...
...light-years long, 20,000,000 wide. Discovered on plates taken at Harvard's Southern Hemisphere station in South Africa, it lies athwart the sky near the Fouth celestial pole. Fifteen thousand galaxies or "island universes" were counted in it, all of them below the 16th magnitude in brightness. At first the cloud was classed simply as a "major irregularity." But the savants at Cambridge reasoned that it must contain at least 35,000 galaxies not apparent on the photographs, and that such density is not a mere irregularity of distribution but a cosmic entity. Although the great cloud...
James Rowland Angell last fortnight ceremoniously completed a distinguished lifetime of service to U. S. education when he bestowed an honorary LL.D. on his friend Cordell Hull at his 16th and last commencement as president of Yale University. Three years younger than Secretary Hull, President Angell was bowing gracefully to Yale's rule that all faculty-men must retire at 68. All year Dr. Angell, who is lively as a cricket despite what he calls his "obvious and offensive senility," has made no bones of the fact that he was looking for another job. Last week he announced that...
