...until the last minute. "It all makes for a lot of good fun," he explained. Then he sent in Walter Stewart, like Hubbell a lefthander. It made good fun, but not for Pitcher Stewart. The first man to face him made first base on an error. Mel Ott, short, boyish rightfielder. stepped to bat for his first time in a World Series and bashed a home-run into the right-field stand. Again in the third, Ott (who was to make four hits in four chances) drove in a run, and drove Stewart out of the box. The Giants, whom...
Austin v. Vines. Vines won the first game on his own serve. Little Bunny Austin, scampering smoothly about the red clay centre court at Roland Garros Stadium in his boyish white shorts, won the next two.

Better writer than Halliburton, more of a rolling adventurer than Beebe, Seabrook has popularized a new formula for travel books. His readers can now expect of him not only a racily written report of outlandish foreign parts but a frank confession that he has gone as native as he cared to. In Jungle Ways (TIME, April...
...dozen well-known Democrats up to the 21st floor of Manhattan's Empire State Building. They stepped out into the comfortable quarters of the Empire State Club, were bowed into a private dining room overlooking 34th Street. Ranged around the luncheon table were James Aloysius Farley, the bald, boyish chairman of the Democratic National Committee; Harry Flood Byrd, Virginia's energetic little aristocrat; Charles Michelson, the party's elderly, tousle-headed pressagent; Frank Walker, the committee's treasurer; Arthur O'Brien, headquarters worker-and John Jacob Raskob...
