...Park Commissioner he announced: "If we can't have both people and grass in the parks, we will have people." When the War came he went abroad doing relief work among prisoners, only to return to go into training at Plattsburgh. Then he became a Captain in the Fifth Missouri Regiment and went overseas as Major of the 138th Infantry. Twice he was cited for gallantry in action, and he has the Distinguished Service Cross. In 1920 he stood against the late Selden P. Spencer for the Republican Senatorial nomination in Missouri, but lost. The next year President Harding...
Captain Tibbetts' time, 28 minutes, 28 seconds, was by far the best done this year, and makes the record for the course.

With the score 2 to 2 in the seventh inning, Moore, young Pittsburgh second baseman, drew a base on balls. Carey singled. Cuyler singled. "Sarah" Barnhart singled. Two runs had scored, and Washington advocates were crying: "Cheese!" and "Bummer!" at Coveleskie. The Polish pitcher (who won three World Series games in 1920 when he pitched for Cleveland against Brooklyn) trod slowly with downcast...
...Perkins '26, reached the fifth round when he defeated P. R. Pease '26 in two sets 6-4, 6-2. J. F. W. Whitbeck '27 advanced with comparative ease over Asaph Churchill...
