Maguire, not a naturally strong hitter, works the opposing pitcher harder than almost any other man on the team. At Fordham his hit scored Harvard's first run. Batting eighth he rounds up what is on paper one of the most formidable swinging arrays the Crimson has mustered in recent years...
...recent hearings on the bill to repeal the Teachers' Oath Law in Massachusetts have proved the efficacy of the oath in turning college professors into rebels--a result the reactionary legislators could hardly have intended. A veritable War of Independence was fought with all of Boston either taking part or looking on.

Hunting likely young men throughout the Irish Free State who were in need of a job, he saw to it that dozens of them were able to make their way across St. George's Channel to enlist in the British Navy...
