...lion which flees abjectly, its toothless mouth a parched wrinkle. Mickey pursuing, champs the teeth ferociously, suddenly gives out a lion-like roar. Mickey is a mouse but he acts like a man. He has a sack-like hound and a cat. They and the incidental animals and things contrast with Mickey's seriousness, act with fantastic playfulness. A swarm of canary chicks will escape Mickey's cage, light in unison on a table. Suddenly they all go into a dance, do a double shuffle, a stationary skating motion and bump fundaments by twos.

His surprise came in the semifinals, against Albert Charles ("Hobey") Hobelmann of Baltimore, a player who had lost in the national semi-finals for the last six years.

...least one Biergarten, right in the heart of things, which might have to be closed-in from the wet and cold of the New England winter, but which, in spring, would expand luxuriously onto the sidewalk with its tables and chairs. To achieve the most pleasant contrast, he hopes it would be located next door to some particularly staid establishment, like the Harvard Trust. For those who want beverage without food, however, he has planned his piece de resistance. This is to be a combination of the best features of the English pub or alehouse, and the tavern. Since this...
