...Bill & Bun Cook, who have been with the team since 1926-the Rangers have acquired two notable recruits. One is a defense man named Jean Pusie who played with Vancouver and was last year's high scorer in the Western Canada League. Pusie is 23, has a cauliflower ear from professional wrestling, never plays without his "lucky cap." The other recruit is Lome Carr, a right-winger from the Buffalo Bisons. The Toronto team, which had been after Ottawa's Hec Kilrea for years, finally got him this season...
...curiously. He was not only the manager of a syndicate which had cleared $12,000,000 without putting up I? but also the biggest stock and grain speculator that the Senators had yet beheld. Spare, white-haired, slightly deaf Arthur William Cutten sat with his hand cupped behind his ear throughout most of the long interrogation on the great Sinclair Consolidated Oil pool of 1928-29. Unsmiling he peered through his spectacles at Inquisitor Pecora whom he could not hear half the time and who could hear Mr. Cutten's muffled replies less often than that...

At the Treasury, there is no Secretary; William Hartman Woodin continues sick. Acting Secretary Acheson carries on under obvious strain while rubber-dollar professors get the ear of the President. Banker Bruere, appointed to co-ordinate credit activities, is, in one commentator's phrase, "outstared" by huge-framed Jesse Jones...
...humorous sketches for Russian newspapers. Before that he had been a soldier. Tsarist against the Germans, a Red artilleryman against the Whites. Now in Moscow (he was born in Odessa) he has beaten his sword into one of Russia's most trenchantly successful pens. Sharp of nose, chin, ear and eye, with black hair dipping into an acute widow's peak, Kataev is 36, just about the right age for a New Russian. His earlier book (The Embezzlers ) was written with such humorous disregard of officialdom that U. S. readers wondered about Russia's censorship. In Russia...
