Burns, though his average has fallen 11 points since last week, still leads the Crimson stickmen with an average of 411, and promises to remain above the 400 mark for the remainder of the season. Captain Todd and Zarakov, his nearest rivals among the regulars, have been hitting consistently in the past two games, but not quite often enough to maintain their averages of a week ago. Todd is still ahead of the Harvard third baseman, but his hitting mark has shrunk from .367 to .351. Zarakov at present is meeting the ball for an average of .326, whereas...
...Duchessa D'Aquilanera, a strange ugly vessel of the haughtiest blood in Latin Europe, with an aristocratic limp, a cane between her knees and a prodigious appetite for lawsuits, concerns the Cabala less than her stripling son, who has fallen, as young Romans are expected to fall in their mid-teens, among many women, beginning with some warm young Brazilians. The New Englander is told off to inculcate hygiene in this young Marcantonio, whose passions incline also to driving highpowered motor cars and training with spasmodic vehemence to become an Olympic foot-racer. The hygienic regimen is balked by Marcantonio...

You know what end awaited Mrs. Katherine Mandeville Richardson, the U. S. diplomat's relict, if she had not had the fabulous good fortune to hook the childish millionaire, Samuel Gummidge Bunker, after trickery at roulette...
Nothing danced by her own back-yard, America has employed these postwar years in annihilating Europe, in opinion at least. The wealth which brings prestige and the prestige which brings prestige and the prestige which breeds pride have undeniably fallen into American hands. If the pride be sufficient to rationalize crudity to culture, then it may be said that American supremacy is complete, colonialism over, and provincialism truly begun...
