...shares of Madison Square Garden Corp. stock valued at $546,000, Colonel John S. Hammond had become the Garden's board chairman. Since 1932, white-haired, soldierly Colonel Hammond has had to pay his way like any one else when he went to the Garden to see a rodeo, prizefight, bicycle race, dog show, circus, wrestling match, horse show, dance marathon or hockey game. That was a disagreeable novelty for the oldtime West Point and Olympic (1904) sprinter. Years before, when he was U. S. military attache in Bolivia, he had run into a shrewd promoter looking for speculative...
Students hurrying to their 12 o'clock classes yesterday had the privilege of witnessing a miniature rodeo, staged by the combined efforts of a small black and white calf and Patrolman McGinty of the Brattle Square Station.

In Manhattan, she caught step with the tempo of the Prohibition-Prosperity era, found she could pack her gaudy hotspots by treating her customers with brassy insolence. She had a battalion of attorneys to keep her out of jail for prohibition offenses. Her star waned with the dawn...
...west instead of in eastern schools, I'd like to mention: out there in the open country you get to know yourself. You go out riding on the plains alone and you realize your short comings; fair play comes natural after awhile. We may be running the Rodeo to make money, but it's a fair contest between ourselves: Last week when we were in New York 21 people were injured and one fellah killed; this is rough enough going so a fellah wants his winnin's rewarded fairly and squarely...
