In geography and position they ranged from vest-pocket-sized Denmark's Premier and Foreign Minister, H. C.

In that encounter, southwest of Ireland, Bismarck proved, in fact, almost as unsinkable as her builders claimed...
Loyal sports page readers learned to their surprise two days ago that Ireland's Ron Delany, the world's greatest indoor miler, was risking immediate suspension by withdrawing from tomorrow night's Cleveland K. of C. Track Meet. Delany's action, according to John McCarthy, persident of the meet, constituted "a flagrant breach of faith--the type which the A.A.U. cannot countenance without taking strong action...
