...hold of the ball, batted it three yards with the flat of his hand to Critz at second base, nailing the runner from first. Next up was old "Goose" Goslin. He whacked the ball against the right-field fence. It was foul by a few feet. He whacked a liner over first base but it streaked smack into Giant-Manager Bill Terry's glove. The tension thus lifted returned redoubled in the ninth. The Senators filled the bases. A sacrifice pushed one runner across the plate. One square hit could tie up the game. But Hubbell pulled himself together...
...Germany is not numbered smart Emil Ludwig (né Cohn), best-selling biographer of Napoleon, Bismarck and Wilhelm II. He has had a Swiss home for years, skipped Germany just before Adolf Hitler seized the powers of Dictator. Last week Dr. Ludwig sailed into Manhattan on the sleek French liner Paris. With an air of detachment proper in so prosperous an exile as himself he warned Jews and other citizens of the world not to blind themselves to the fact that "Hitler suits the German character. . . . What is going on there now is not the forcible rule...
...Virginia Capes were the hurricane's next objective. Twenty-five miles off shore it swooped down upon the Old Dominion liner Madison, Norfolk-bound out of New York. A 70-ft. wave carried away the Madison's forward deck house, snapped her booms, stove in her ventilators, snatched off three lifeboats and flooded the cabins.

To the wallowing Madison went the Coast...
Vexed tourists were still getting on & off transatlantic liners outside the harbor of Cherbourg by means of seagoing tenders last week. Still more vexed was the Municipality of Cherbourg which completed on May 1 a magnificent new $12,500,000 deep-water harbor and docks at which liners can tie up. Even the public celebration of Cherbourg's achievement, for which sad-eyed President Albert Lebrun of France was rushed down from Paris (TIME, Aug. 7), did no good. Up to last week not a single liner had used Cherbourg's docks, temptingly emblazoned with the arms...
Tender captains, chugging out and back to the big ships which anchor off Cherbourg, explained last week that the Municipality has set 30,000 francs ($1.176 at par) as the price of permitting a liner to dock, counts on the demands of tourists for an easy gangplank landing to force the steamship companies to pay this price. The tender captains charge only 6,000 francs ($235) for landing or embarking 200 passengers. Thus far tourists have been so scarce this year that no line calling at Cherbourg has been willing to pay the extra charge for the sake of being...
