...night last March in San Francisco's St. Francis Hotel, a whiskey bottle cracked the red head of a beauty named Helen De Vine, whose mother runs a duck hatchery. Miss De Vine told police that her bland, baby-faced boyfriend, Mark Lee Megladdery, and one Samuel J. Hume were tippling with her when Hume swung at Megladdery and Miss De Vine forgot to duck...
...gained popularity, and justly so, because of his unusual technical facility, and his paintings prove him to be a fine craftsman. Really good art, however, does not consist in mere excellence of handling a give medium.

Gordon's batting mark for the entire schedule was approximately a cool .560, tops for loop batters. Lyford of Lowell had a neat .552. The second twirler, Dick Story of Lowell, is no slouch and earns his place as a result of steady work in every game...
