Almost any celebrity is glad to stand godparent to a child, a street, a monument, a steamship, a cocktail or a baseball bat. But there is a fitness to be observed in this business of name-lending. It would be very stupid for a manufacturer of safety-razors to name his product after Admiral Erberle; very rude of a mouthwash maker to call his deodorant "The Senator So & So" very short-sighted of a tire producer to christen his inner tubes for The Battleship Maine.* What adjective, then, can be applied to Louis and Isadore Cohen of New York City...
...three skaters are Zarakov, Ellison, and Chase, and Barbee, who has been starring at guard on Coach Wachter's basketball team. Zarakov, a flashy infielder, captained his Freshman team, and this year was awarded both the Wingate Cup and Wendall Bat for his performance on the 1925 diamond.

Last week he gave his hounds of speech a preliminary run: "With Borah as its leader in foreign affairs, challenging the Administration's position with reference to the World Court, and Dawes, the Mussolini of American politics, threatening invasion and destruction to those of his political faith who dare oppose his Senatorial reform...
...triumph equal to Mathewson's in the famed World Series of 1905. Plank, the mainstay of the Athletics, was a fine pitcher, heady and fast, but he could be scored on, Mathewson could not. There were other men with the Giants besides Mathewson; occasionally they came up to bat; they did not have much else to do. While the enormous crowds shouted themselves into a frenzy, and small boys and statesmen muttered his name in their sleep-a name heard round far more of the world than the shot that began the battle of Lexington-Mathewson created a legend...
