...CRIMSON baseball club, fresh from its triumphant trample over the prostrate form of the Yale "News," swept through the ranks of its once-greatest rival like the whirlwind. 23 to 2, the traditional CRIMSON margin of victory for yea, these many years, was the counter when erstwhile Catcher Wentworth retired the last newsgetter in the gathering darkness...
...most exciting days in modern Chinese history ripped past, every fresh dispatch made it clearer that first reports of the Battle of Taierchwang had not erred in suggesting this was going to prove the first major open field defeat of the Japanese since their Empire was Awaked up by Commodore Perry. Continuing last week to taste Japanese blood in a big way, the Chinese pushed northward through bombed, shelled and ruined Taierchwang in which not a house was left standing according to white eyewitnesses, chased Japanese 20 miles to Yihsien, where the Mikado's routed forces finally made...
French truck drivers, drawing triple pay, were going out of Leftist Spain last week sporting gold wrist watches, silk socks & shirts, smoking the best cigars.

In the mists of Ruwenzori, Mountaineer Tilman admits that he and his companion, Eric Shipton, lost their way, their tempers, and almost their lives-in addition to which he dropped his camera, broke his wrist watch, while Shipton sprained his shoulder hanging onto shrubs on a convex...
