...there were there, goldfish, named, curiously enough, One, Two, and Three, and there was also a silk handkerchief. The goldfish pass gaily down the esophagus of Mr. All, and at the word of command reappear, apparently quite delighted with their journey. The regurgitation of the silk handkerchief seems to prove that the goldfish are involuntary and not conniving actors...
...that holiness and tranquillity had, for the time being, parted company. The Bishop was John S. Kedrovsky. He had asserted that he was Archbishop of his church in North America, and hence presiding prelate of the Cathedral of St. Nicholas, Manhattan. He had with him papers from Russia to prove it. It was in an effort to make clear his position to Platon, the temporary Archbishop, that he had suffered his humiliating contact with the asphalt.

Protest against "overemphasis", upon football, ancient and often as unreasonable as the malady itself, has taken a new turn which may well prove decisive.

By Americanizing the play to a certain extent, or rather de-Russianizing...
...backers of the moneyed sport, many of them college graduates, declare that their project will not prove a bad influence on the collegiate game. Thus Dr. Harry A. March, sponsor of the Giants declares that "everything is done to prevent an amateur from commercializing his ability while he still belongs to an amateur organization. Everything is done to keep down gambling. I also believe that with the incentive of a professional career ahead, college players will constantly better the standard of their game. The professional game will also bring the small college player his due. Take the case of Parnell...
