...Germany who last year won seven out of eight Grand Prix races in Europe, easily outclassed Italy's Tazio Nuvolari, the 1936 Vanderbilt Cup winner. Rosemeyer got away fast at the start this week, temporarily yielded his lead to his countryman Rudolf Caracciola until the tenth lap. Noisiest and swiftest (160 m.p.h.) on the straightaways, Rosemeyer roared up a lead of two-thirds of a lap before the race was one-third run. Headed only when he dropped out for tire changes on the 79th lap, Rosemeyer soon caught young Dick Seaman of England piloting a Mercedes. Then...
...President Frick's purpose in chastising Pitcher Dean was to deflate his ego, he failed sadly. Instead there followed an absurd uproar which filled U. S. sports pages for three days while Pitcher Dean reiterated: "I'm not goin' to sign nothin'!" Baseball's noisiest dispute since Babe Ruth was fined $5,000 for insubordination in 1925, the Dean-Frick fight ended after three days in a ludicrously solemn compromise.

Through his three Manhattan loud-speakers-morning American (circulation: 320,000), evening Journal (631,000), tabloid Mirror (555,000)-and his 25 other mouthpieces throughout the land, shrill William Randolph Hearst has dinned his hatred of the New Deal day in, day out, furnished Franklin Roosevelt with his noisiest opposition. After almost 40 years the Hearst crusades have grown stale with custom and the Hearst political influence is uniformly discounted by experienced observers. But, win or lose next week, Publisher Hearst himself is sure of a place in the history of the 1936 campaign. It was he who "discovered...
