...outplayed Perry in the third, 6-4. and was ahead at 3-2 in the fourth when he fell, trying to recover one of Perry's cross-court drives. Obviously hurt, he managed to finish the set, which Perry won 7-5. Vines's service and the pace he gave his drives kept the next set close until the score was 7-6 and 40-15 in Perry's favor. Vines walked back to serve once more. As his long, knobby arms were getting set for the cannonball, he suddenly crumpled up, sprawled on the court...
...orthodox when running. Bonthron knew that Lovelock had run a mile against Yale-Harvard week before in 4:12.6, his best time, and was benefiting by the exhilaration which athletes usually feel for the first few days in a strange land. After the gun cracked, Hazen set the pace for the first quarter-mile, Bonthron and Lovelock at his heels. Officials and athletes under bright umbrellas in Palmer Stadium's centre field shook their heads. The runners were going much too fast. In the third quarter Horan moved out front. It proved to be the slowest part...
...little manufacturer. Equally significant: whereas in 1929 Ford sold 34 out of 100 U.

Joseph Ventre, a cheap little crook indicted with the dead gunman's widow, was not long in telling the police the whole story. He and a man named Pace had been living with Mrs. Coll. They had been supporting themselves by petty stickups until Mrs. Coll. accustomed to doughtier deeds, urged them to "give up this five-and-ten-cent-store business." Thereupon the trio tried to abduct a jeweler, who surprised them by running swiftly down the street instead of getting in their car. Pace went flying after him, wildly firing a revolver. The jeweler escaped unscathed...
Volume. For three months the towns & cities of the U. S. have heard with rising pleasure the raucous music of the whistle. It is national recovery at an unprecedented pace, a strident prelude to National Recovery by Executive Command (see p. 12.). The percussions have been abundantly recorded in the cool abstractions that are indexes. Last week electric power production soared (for the sixth consecutive time), to 91.7% of normal. Steel production, most potent barometer of basic industrial activity, surged up another 3% to 47% of capacity, more than three times the rate last March. Bank clearings went...
