...Captain Candler A. ("Wilky") Wilkinson, Captain Chester E. (''Stub") Davis and Major Compton C. ("C-Square") Smith played Winston Guest's Optimists for the Danforth Cup, in the Indoor Open final. The game was delayed until nearly 10:30 p. m. so that an international radio hook-up could let Argentines hear how the ponies they sold the U. S. players last year and the Optimists were making out. Watched by a crowd of 11,000, the Optimists made out very well. Cadaverous, imperious Winston Guest scored the first goal. He and Major Smith had a scramble...
...last time a Western team won the Challenge Cup was in 1922. Fifteen minutes after the kickoff in the second game in New York last week, sandy-haired little McLean took a pass from his 17-year-old halfback, Ollie Bohlman, sent a rightfoot hook shot into the corner of the net.

Tammany, always partial to a winner, swung its votes behind the Rainey-Byrns ticket in return for the appointment as assistant majority leader of stocky, hard-bitten Thomas Henry Cullen from the Red Hook district of Brooklyn. Jumping the South's traces, Texas joined the Rainey-Byrns-Cullen combination because its success would advance Representative James Paul Buchanan, a Texan, to the Appropriations Committee chairmanship vacated by Mr. Byrns...
Ohio's Governor White, refusing to declare a bank holiday, prepared legislation to hold withdrawals down to the level of the liquid assets. On his own hook the Mayor of Dayton ordered a three-day moratorium. In Cleveland, Akron, Lima, Canton, and many a smaller city, bankers agreed among themselves to limit withdrawals to a mere dribble of cash. The good-natured, holiday-spirited crowd which thronged the great lobby of Cleveland's Union Trust Co. to get what money it could was typical of similar gatherings in hard-hit States...
