Near the old Northfield, Mass, summer home of Evangelist Dwight Lyman Moody is Mount Hermon School, which he founded for serious boys willing to work in the fields to win a plain, pious education. Three years ago Mount Hermon's half century of Christian calm was rudely shattered by a murderous charge of buckshot, fired through his study window at youthful Headmaster Elliott Speer (TIME, Sept. 24, 1934). For that shotgun murder no one has ever been brought to trial. But last week another gun and two old associates of Elliott Speer once more surrounded quiet Mount Hermon with...

Charles Jaynes Jr.: "I want to be a preacher, a drummer, and I also want to drive all kinds of fire trucks, and the chief's car, and to be a policeman, a chief engineer, that's all I want to be-oh, yes, and I want to be a ballplayer...
...front cover) In 1886, famed "Cap" Anson created a furor by taking his Chicago baseball team (including Evangelist Billy Sunday) to Hot Springs, Ark. to get ready for the opening of the season. Since then, spring training has been a baseball institution. Main purpose of spring training is not to recondition baseballers but to recondition baseball addicts, by reminding them that a new season is about to start, reviving their interest in the game. By last week, baseball addicts had had six weeks of training-camp news to assure them that the 1937 major-league season would start in Boston...
