...pitcher of the underdog National League club, will try to stop the "Damnyankees." That the Yankees are a monopolistic and "have" organization cannot be disputed, since they comprise one of the highest-salaried teams in baseball and own a farm system that makes them look impregnable for the future. Will the Ruppert beer-filled rifles riddle the Windy City Cubbies? Will Manager Joe McCarthy, the only man who has ever managed both a National and American League pennant winner, become the first to win three World Series in a row?

As the late winter sunshine streamed through the window, Henry Lewis Pittock knew that his time was short, knew that his keenest regret was to leave to other hands the great daily he had founded 58 years before. Next night he died, and Portlanders learned that his $7,894,778.33 estate...
...double room which Groucho stubbornly regards as his castle becomes a shambles on which the most effective comment is entirely wordless: when Harpo undertakes to relieve his partner's hunger pangs by bringing in a live turkey he has won at a raffle, the turkey takes one look at its surroundings and flies out of the window...
