Handsome, bemustached Democrat McWilliams found himself pitted against the most popular Mayor Cleveland has elected since city managership was abandoned in 1929. Son of a professor of civil engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harold Burton migrated to Cleveland fresh from Harvard Law School, started practicing in 1912. He rode into the City Hall as a reform candidate in 1935. Now chunky, athletic and 49, Mayor Burton arrives at City Hall each morning at 8:30, works twelve hours a day, takes pride in his clean-up of the Cleveland police force, and although a Republican, claims credit for wangling...
...Jewish premises could only fly the tricolor of Italy. To greet the Dictators when they arrived at 5:30 p. m., Berlin's whole teeming proletariat had turned out for a holiday "with pay," proceeded to obey exhortations from Dr. Goebbels to cheer themselves hoarse. Through Berlin streets rode the Dictators, and II Duce was installed as, reportedly, "the first occupant" of the President's rooms in the Hindenburg Palace since "the old gentleman's" death...

By the end of August Cousin Jock was sufficiently concerned to him Gene Tunney's oldtime trainer, Lou Fink, to give his teammates some pre-championship conditioning.

In the first two chukkers, Sonny succeeded remarkably well in holding back Greentree's Tommy Hitchcock, Pete Bostwick and Gerald Balding. Cousin Jock was less successful. In the third chukker Sonny suddenly cut in, took the ball away from Hitchcock, swung his mallet. Smack! The ball scooted between the goal posts for the only Whitney-made score of the match. By the end of the seventh chukker...
...winner, the 6-to-1 shot Humorist, who dropped dead from heart failure six weeks after the race. The following year, when his mount, Lord Woolavington's big Captain Cuttle, showed up lame just before the starting parade and the odds jumped to 10-to-1, Steve Donoghue rode to his smoothest Derby victory. When he won again the next year with Ben Irish's 100-to-15 shot Papyrus, he and his mount were sent to the U. S. to race against that year's Kentucky Derby winner, Zev, with famed Earl Sande up. Donoghue...
