...when he was helped to his corner, vomiting dreadfully, after having been knocked out in the second round of a bout which proved 1) that Wills is still the foremost challenger for Dempsey's title; 2) that a U. S. prize ring still occasionally does duty as an abattoir...
...popular belief would have it, a light and swaying bamboo structure spanning the Charles. It will not sag and sway beneath the feet of business school men with their green bags, plodding wearily home from classes.

It is altogether possible that the abattoir's license may be withheld this year, as the section in which it is located is becoming thickly populated; in this case it is not unlikely that the War Department will permit the construction of a bridge without...
