...Robert Kinsey, of U. S. birth, but a member of the Mexican Davis Cup Team. His play last week in the tennis matches against the U. S. was indifferent, almost sour. William Tatem Tilden II ran him razzle-frazzle in three straight sets. That was the beginning of a clean sweep for the U. S. at Mexico City. John Hennessy conquered Ricardo Tapia, schoolboy, and later, with less trouble, Gringo Kinsey. Wilmer Allison won a tough match from Alfonso Unda. In the doubles, Captain Tilden and Arnold N. Jones disposed of Unda and Kinsey...

I see no earthly reason for her going about in sackcloth and ashes and as for clean nails I was brought up to expect that in any lady. RALPH M. MEARS Charleston...
Newton Diehl Baker, dark, clean-shaven, fond of classics and gardening, eloquent in speech, did lawful battle in a Cincinnati courtroom with Charles Evans Hughes, fair, bushy of beard, fond of animals, deliberate in speech. Mr. Hughes was attorney for Mrs. Josephine Scripps, of Miramar, Calif., who was suing for at least $6,000,000 of the estate of the late E. W. Scripps, founder of the Scripps-Howard chain of newspapers. Mr. Baker was representing the defendant, Robert Paine Scripps, trustee of the estate. In summing up his argument, Mr. Baker quoted at length from King Lear. Mr. Hughes...
