...bombs and fireworks. There last week chemists, army officers and police gingerly examined 197 wooden packing cases, taken in a recent raid on branch headquarters of the Csar, a Rightist organization accused of plotting the overthrow of the French Republic (TIME, Dec. 6).

For the last doubles match Captain Hazel Hotchkiss Wightman, the Cup's sturdy donor who still: plays capable tennis herself, substituted chubby Dorothy May Sutton Bundy for Miss Jacobs, who had done enough for one day.
