...match of it and to run the Texan ragged with drives to the corners, trap shots, and every variation of pace and length, to tire him against the doubles later in the day. Mr. White had evidently made up his mind not to be a sacrifice. He never ran after his opponent's placements, but did what he could with the shots that came within reach. If he had used every ounce of his stamina he might have taken one set. As it was, he lost, 3-6, 4-6, 3-6, but had his revenge in the doubles...

The water swept me back through the compartment to the control room. I tried to close the doors of the control room, but the pressure of the water was once more too great...
...Republican and Farmer-Labor candidates for Congress. But in last week's Minnesota primaries, two small blots appeared upon this record. Dissatisfied with its servant of the past four terms, Representative Oscar E. Keller, the League advanced a new candidate in Keller's district (St. Paul). Keller ran on his record independently when out of the business district suddenly appeared a 28-year-old Wet bond salesman, one Melvin J. Maas, to confound them both.
