Adams is heavily favored over the Elephants, whose closest game this year was the heart-breaker they lost to Leverett when Lady Luck tipped a Bunny conversion kick over the cross-bar for the one-point margin of victory.

To top off this sparkling job, Pirnie copped a second in the broad jump with a leap less than three inches short of Dave Ives' winning 21 feet 9 3/8 inches. Ives reciprocated by doing the hundred in 10.2 and racing number two in the sprint relay...

...longer ago than 1938, "Market Street" had ladled out a plump $100 per division to knock out old Gifford Pinchot's third try at the Governorship; that fall, when Republican Arthur Horace (Breaker Boy) James tossed the Little New Deal of Governor George H. Earle III out of Harrisburg, Republican committeemen carried rolls of at least $100 per division. And in 1939's mayoralty fight, an alleged cascade of currency from the offices of G. 0. P. City Chairman Jay Cooke won the election between 4 and 6 p.m. with a $100-per-division allotment...

...turning tide of 1937's Supreme Court reorganization bill, the sit-down strikes, 1938's purge campaign, stiffened his sinews. For Governor of Pennsylvania Mr. Pew settled on an undersized, sorrel-shagged, boom-voiced judge from the hard coal fields, Arthur H. James, the Welsh "breaker...
