...some 200 persons, mostly girls, some young and lithe, some young and statuesque. They made weary travelers stop and stare. Surrounded by luggage, scented with flowers and perfume, bright with jewelry, they laughed, giggled, squeaked shrilly. Flashlights were taken. In the centre of the group stood a grey-haired, hook-nosed man puffing a big cigar. He was Florenz Ziegfeld. About him were the stars, the 70 "glorified" girls, the dance directors, technical men, wardrobe mistresses, musicians et al. of the forthcoming Follies, first in four years. With farewell whoops, the troupers trooped down the stairs to their special train...
...ponderously about the ring. Camera pushing his great fist, Redmond pawing helplessly for less than a minute; then Camera upset his opponent with a well-aimed right to the jaw. Redmond arose unsteadily at the count of eight, went down and out a minute later under a curving left hook that literally wrapped about his jaw and chin. ¶ Aubrey Boomer. British pro for the St. Cloud Club, near Paris: the French Open Golf championship at Deauville, with a 291. Tied for second were Argentine Thomas Genta, Percy Alliss.

...stranger to the ways of city hoodlums, Attorney General Bennett likes to remind people that he was born in the Red Hook section of Brooklyn. Mild of manner, blond, well set up, he made precedent last autumn by getting himself elected to the State's chief legal post. Not only is he one of the youngest (37) to hold the office, but the first Democrat in eight years. In 1918 he emerged from the Army a pursuit pilot, although he never got to France. While working for J. P. Morgan & Co., he studied law at night school, was not admitted...
