...Evansville, Ind. Norias Annie is a black & white relative of famed Mary Blue, who won for Mr. Teagle in 1929 and 1931. She was gun- shy and bird-shy, a "hopeless case," when Handler Chesley Harris began her training. Doctor Blue Willing is a three-year-old whose pace on the big circuits marked him as championship material this year. They started under ideal conditions at 9 a. m.-bright sun, ground drying, little wind-and the dog found a bevy within the first five minutes, then another and another. The bitch warmed steadily to her work and evened this...
...bank moratorium was about to engulf the U. S. and most trade teetered close to a standstill, the weekly indices showed enormous gains. But even discounting that factor, anyone with half an eye could see that the usual spring rise was accelerating at more than a seasonal pace. Car loadings were 26.6% above last year, 5.4% above the week before and, for the first time, topped the corresponding week of 1932. Electric power output was 16.5% above 1933-largest weekly gain since the rise began last May. The total of 1,658-040,000 k.w.h. was second highest since...

Therefore, only...
...three best mile-runners in the U. S.-Bonthron of Princeton, Cunningham of Kansas and Venzke of Pennsylvania-raced for the first time, last fortnight, Bonthron won by three inches. It was a comparatively slow race (4:14.1) because each of the three wanted the others to set the pace at the start. Last week Bonthron, Cunningham and Venzke raced again, this time at 1,500 metres, in the indoor championships of the Amateur Athletic Union in Manhattan...
Harvard entered the fray with a seemingly grim determination to win and rearly kept pace with the sharpshooters from Dartmouth scoring 15 points to their opponent's 20 in the first period. As the second half started, Fesler's men put on a flashy rally which netted three baskets in quick succession and put Harvard ahead 21 to 20. Soon the count was tied and then the Green started its scoring barrage. Bonniwell, the high scoring Dartmouth star, sank shots from all parts of the floor...
