...reputation of being the ablest allround high-school athlete in the U. S. At Gary's Horace Mann High, he twice was named All-State quarterback, was the country's leading interscholastic football scorer (150 points) in 1936, was captain of the basketball team, pitched three no-hit, no-run games one spring, was State champion at the 100-yd. dash (9.9 sec.) and still holds the Indiana record (22.6 sec.) for the 200-yd. low hurdles...
...speaks staccato brogue. Shrewd, kindly, foresighted, he founded the first Catholic Youth Organization in 1930, which has now been accepted as the official organization for all 7,000,000 U. S.

All summer he had been hearing about the sport-only a few years old in Nova Scotia-of catching giant bluefin tuna ("horse mackerel" to old salts) on rod & reel. Up the coast at Liverpool a Cuban team had just won this year's international tuna matches from...
...league's perennial tail-enders and a larger representation than that of any other club. Even more unprecedented was the fact that two of them were rookies, and one, 22-year-old Johnny Vander Meer, who had skyrocketed to fame a few weeks earlier when he won two no-hit, no-run games within five days, was to pitch the first three innings...
