During the second preliminary fight before the Braddock-Farr match at Madison Square Garden last week, a brawling broke out in the press row at the ringside. Promoter Mike Jacobs, hastening through the crowd of spectators, police and opponents, irritably declared: "We're having a damned sight more fighting outside the ring than in it! We have a full house. I suggest you gentlemen save those fisticuffs for some night when we don't have such a splendid attendance...

...Manhattan's Madison Square Garden one night last week 18,000 fight fans witnessed one of the most exciting stretch finishes they could remember.

They were not allowed to see The Life of Emile Zola because of the courtroom scenes...
Colonel Donovan was well aware that he was defending as big a batch of U. S. bigwigs as ever was put on trial. Summoned to Madison last October on the criminal charges of conspiracy to raise and fix gasoline prices were 26 major and subsidiary oil companies, three oil trade journals and 56 oil tycoons. By last week charges had been dismissed against all but 16 companies and 30 men.
