...reader of TIME, and a resident of Jersey City for 40 years, I resent your description of our city as set forth in your article on page 16, issue of May 27. Jersey City is not, as you say, ". . .a sooty relic teeming with foreign blood." Like any large city, it has some foreigners among its residents, but they are in the minority.

The act: blindfolded, the girl stands on the stage holding a plate in her hand...
...Blue won by jumping on Whitmore in the fourth when he was nearly overcome with heat, and continuing to drub the offerings of Ketchum, Colpak, Molloy and Prior mercilessly throughout the remainder of the game. Coach Mitchell refused to send either of his star sophomore twirlers, MacHale or Page to the hill, preferring to reserve them for duty in Cambridge...
