...Neither statesman would confess to having a "plan" to champion. Neither could afford to embarrass the other by seeming to "win." Neither must "lose." It was all most difficult. President and Premier worked at what they called "exchanging views." Their views on Security, they found, were totally opposed (President Hoover being unwilling and unable to get a U. S. Congress to vote guarantees of French Security), but they did not ''disagree." They exchanged other views. After immense constructive effort President Hoover and Premier Laval told what they had done in a joint communiqué to the World Press...

The luxury of liberalism may therefore be said to exist only in the universities or among the idle rich. The outlaws cannot afford to be liberal: they must be radical...
...fair to say that Harvard has lost interest in the game just because most of the student body couldn't afford to make the trip this year: no other rival so far from Cambridge would have drawn a larger number.

His visit will follow that of Premier Pierre Laval of France, who was to sail for the U. S. Oct. 16. Already on their way to the U. S. were Deputy-Governor Charles Farmer...
...Philadelphia Athletics was faced with a familiar but difficult problem : who should pitch? As usual, he failed to reveal his solution of the problem till just before the game. Large (6 ft. 4 in.), bland George Livingston Earnshaw then began warming up. A game ahead, Manager Gabby Street could afford to gamble by starting right-handed Sylvester Johnson. He gave Philadelphia a run in the first inning, was replaced in the sixth after Jimmy Foxx had hit a homerun over the left field fence. Only one St. Louis batter managed to hit George Earnshaw?Pepper Martin who got a single...
