...Metre Run. Won by Ray Barbuti of the U. S. 47 4/5 sec. Before the race he drank a cherry eggnog. At the finish he dived into the tape, sprawled upon the cinder track, was severely cut. But that was the way in which he conquered James Ball of Canada by an eyelash...

This year, pre-War distinctions are again in evidence. With more money to spend on clothes, the well-dressed woman will have rich and luxurious gowns for formal wear...
...sailing "pigeons" to dusty smithereens. There was also baseball-the opening game of the annual tournament of the Head-of-the-Lakes semiprofessional baseball association.

Cochet was the toast of the boulevards last week. His work in the doubles and his quick disposal of Tilden in the singles, 9-7, 8-6, 6-4, showed conclusively that when he is at his peak no man can climb him. The tabulation: France...
