...fair challenge. My European education would continue in the Cosmopolitan Soccer League, in New York City. The CSL began life in 1923 as the German-American Soccer League, but has long served as a melting pot of teams: Blau Weiss Gotchee, Brooklyn Italians, Greek-American Atlas, Polonia NY, Hungaria, FC Bulgaria, NY Albanians, CD Iberia...
...Spaniards and Greeks who arrived a generation ago, they don't find many places that their stomachs can call home. The city has only a dozen Eastern European restaurants.

Whenever Admiral Horthy, Regent* of the Kingdom of Hungaria, rode forth, the policemen cleared the entire street down which he was to ride. At length they held back an enormous crowd gathered to witness the opening of the Hungarian Parliament. Excitement ran high, for it was known that Premier Count Bethlen would present to the Deputies the Government's position with respect to the "national scandal," the recently discovered plot to flood France with counterfeited -in- Hungary 1,000-franc notes (TIME, Jan. 18).
