...Believe me, that was the biggest kick of all," said the 22-year-old son of a Jersey stone cutter next day as he was besieged by newshawks, radio scouts and theatrical agents. Taking his fishing rod, he went off for the day with the chief of police of his home town while Cincinnati townsfolk went wild. For the first time since 1919 there was talk of a National League pennant for the Reds (in third place and only four games behind the League-leading Giants). The club front office was stampeded for tickets. A sportswriter suggested that a statue...

The Tribune, with a daily circulation of over 825,000, remains Chicago's biggest paper...
...England "three & six penny'' still has some semblance of accuracy. Woolworth's, which opened its first English store in 1909 and last year had 711 with profit of $32,000,000. no longer adheres to the strict price policy. But its biggest rival, the 228 Marks & Spencer stores which earned just over $8,000,000 in 1937, still does...
