...sickness to rabbits. Last week his associate, Dr. James Stevens Simmons was in St. Louis with yellow fever mosquitoes and monkeys to try to find out how St. Louis' sleeping sickness epidemic spreads. Impatient with the slowness of animal experiment three volunteers, heroic but anonymous, let themselves be bitten by mosquitoes which had bitten encephalitis victims. As unpredictable as their infection by the bites is their recovery...
Encouraged to team together by Bernon S. Prentice, non-playing captain of this year's U. S. Davis Cup team, Lott & Stoefen proved one thing by their victory last week: that Chicago's hairy, hard-bitten George Martin Lott Jr. is the best doubles player in the U. S., if not in the world. Last week's doubles title was his fourth. He won in 1928 with John F. Hennessey, in 1929 and 1930 with John Hope Doeg. Saturnine, good-humored, Lott's doubles game is noteworthy for steadiness, tactical brilliance, unwillingness to be discouraged...

The youngish onetime automobile salesman was at his home in Beverly Hills, Calif. when these things happened. In Manhattan, his hardworking, hard-bitten second-in-command, Lucius Bass ("Lou"') Manning, swore that it was no more than a happy coincidence. In his big suite in the Waldorf-Astoria, Lou Manning told newsmen that Mr. Cord & friends were interested in all forms of transportation- except those that run on rails. They began hunting...
