...keyed to a high pitch by reason of the closeness of the score. The game was called, they reasoned, in order to permit the baseball "magnates" to pocket the proceeds of the game, whose total considerably exceeded $100,000. The crowd had to find something tangible upon which to pour the vials of its wrath, and it readily found a visible symbol in the person of Judge Landis, high commissioner of baseball. Upon his head an angry and tumultuous crowd of between 5000 and 8000 poured invective after invective, and if Judge Landis escaped without bodily harm...
...contest in which both the University and Yale teams have steadily been one jump behind the Weatherman. When Tuesday's game was called off at New Haven, conditions were fair in Cambridge; and when both teams were at Cambridge yesterday there was an accommodating let-up in the down-pour at New Haven.

But the ball had been started rolling; and after the Bureau had issued indignant denials of Dr. Emerson's charges, communications began to pour in to the newspapers substantiating them. Investigations followed. And now Col. Forbes, in a report submitted to the President on Oct. 19th, turned his back on his own bureau and condemns the army vocational schools, in some of which, he states, the disabled ex-service men have been placed "under conditions that...
...with the shoes may it not be so with clothing and foodstuffs and many less necessary commodities? Our speculative markets were going wild a year ago over the new riches an impoverished Europe was going to pour in here for rehabilitation purposes. Now they are finding out not only that Europe cannot pay, but that our own people will not pay the prices they had made. The inevitable consequences of that crazy performance are now in process of being slowly worked out. New York World
