...this was not all. Raditch's party (Croatian Peasant's Party), which formed the mainstay of the Opposition with 70 seats in the Skupshtina (National Assembly), was disbanded by order of white-whiskered Nikolai Pashitch, ironhanded Premier of Yugo-Slavia.

Townsend has victories to his credit over Georgia, 7 to 2, and over Columbia, 7 to 4, in each of which he stared on the attack with a timely triple. Spalding will, in all probability, have a chance tomorrow to avenge his first defeat...
