Last week, as Argentine's autumn got under way, Sunday crowds saw many a fine futbol game. At one a River Plate player assaulted and broke the jaw of an opponent.

Last fortnight in Flushing's Municipal Court, Musician Fox's suing landlords submitted this letter which they had sent him: "The insects you complained of are crickets and no doubt are found in most of the homes and apartments of Bayside.
