Glen B. Watts of Lynbrook, L. I. has often broken 25 skeet targets in a row but he never enjoyed doing it so much as last week, when he was firing in the last round of the Great Eastern Individual Championship at Lordship, Conn. It was a dark, blustering day. Frank Trager of Roseland, N. J. and Ollie Mitchell of Waltham, Mass, had contrived to run up creditable strings of 96 out of 100. With 73 targets already broken-in strings of 25, 23, 25-Watts knew that he needed a 23 to tie, a 24 to win. Moving slowly...
Ollie Mitchell had the satisfaction of knowing that his 96 helped his Waltham Gun Club to win the Great Eastern team championship with 466, but most of the skeeters at Lordship last week felt a little less chipper about their scores when the results of the National Telegraphic Championship began to come in.

...politico. Everyone, however, knew he could fight. In 1924 he won the Scotch amateur middleweight title. He had gone to Glasgow with his friend, classmate and mentor, Edward Francis ("Eddie") Eagan (Fighting for Fun), to enter the championship bout. The reigning champion, a coal miner, gave His Lordship a terrible drubbing, broke one of his teeth half in two, left another hanging by a thread...
...Manhattan last week His Lordship hailed the U. S. as the leader of the Anglo-Saxon race which had created the "greatest of the Western civilizations.'' Said he: "America will face incredible prosperity once the world has accepted the great truths that we must live and govern our nations, not for ourselves, but for others." His Lordship also took part in the 17th annual Good Will Congress of the World Alliance for International Friendship through the Churches. Present were Germany's onetime Foreign Minister Julius Curtius, Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, Editor Michael Williams of The Commonweal, Editor...
