...Leiserson replaces Donald Wakefield Smith who has had a recess appointment since his term expired last August. To replace William Leiserson on NMB, the President chose another man small in stature, large in repute: David John Lewis, the learned, lovable, little Maryland ex-Congressman who was used last year in a bitter and stupid effort to purge Senator Millard Tydings (TIME, Sept. 12, et seq.).* As a worthy favorite at 70, Davey Lewis was considered too old for arduous duty on NLRB, just right for the easier routine of a railway mediator...
...lawn in front of the pink colonial mansion. Bookmakers Saratoga Joe, Honest Dan and three-score of their colleagues, forbidden to ply their trade this year, milled around in the crowd, furtively held up their odds on inconspicuous little pasteboard cards. It was the day of the Maryland Hunt Cup race and 15,000 of the Eastern Seaboard's horsy folk, arriving by train, plane, auto and old-fashioned buggy, gathered to witness the 46th running of the most famed steeplechase...

The series, however, gave the squad some much-needed outdoor contact work, and, when they began outdoor workouts...
...Dartmouth's almost entirely Senior lineup. George Hartford, continually defending the net against the most severe of the opponents' drives, has aired in nearly every moment of action, and has served to holster up the defense In critical moments. Peter Zouck, who comes from the Gilman School In Maryland, where lacrosse is on a par with football, has distinguished himself by agile footwork and speedy ball-handling. Great things were expected from Doug Anderson, the captain of the 1941 Freshman combine and an all-New England man at Exeter, but his shoulder was put out of commission in the Maryland...
