Having happened to read in TIME, April 9, that my father, Vladimir de Pachmann the pianist, is a Jew, and that assertion being quite inexact, I beg you to rectify that error as soon as possible (if possible in the next issue of your magazine...
...error between 2.75% and 5.3% has existed in the House of Representatives since the census of 1920. At its best, the House is never a perfect mirror of the U. S. voters, but even this ascertainable error in the House would, in an average mirror, be enough to make wise men look stupid, proud men look fools, honest men look knaves.

Losses then would be: Missouri, 3; Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Mississippi, two each; Alabama, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New York, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, one each...

Cutts '28 had filled the bases with three walks. Two more Red and Blue players crossed the plate in the eighth, giving their team a safe margin of victory...
...Nugent '30, who has been shifted about considerably during his short periods of service, was given his first chance at covering the hot corner at third base. He performed well, accepting five chances without an error. PENNSYLVAXIA a.b. r. h. p.o. a. e.
