...players most generously. Charles Brickley '15 organized a team in New York several years ago, and this rather unsuccessful venture has been now transformed into a distinct success. The rivalry between the Chicago teams, the Bears and the Cardinals, weekly brings out crowds of 40,000 spectators. Kansas City, Rock Island, Milwaukee, Detroit, Cleveland, Canton, Akron, Colum bus, Buffalo, Rechester, Philadelphia, and Providence all support the new professional game...

The Fitches had told her she could take nothing out of their house, so she left wearing two dresses, with her blouse stuffed with trinkets. Reckless Eve got as far as Tulsa where it gasped, flopped twice, and lay still. Mary Lewis gave singing lessons to the soubrets and earned enough to buy a ticket to the Coast.
