...where Franklin Roosevelt proposes if need be to meet "force with force." Laid up for treatment, the U.S.S. West Virginia was anchored off Brooklyn Navy Yard, where naval mechanics replaced a 16-inch gun which cracked during maneuvers in the Caribbean last month. Beautifully at rest, the U.S.S. Tennessee rode the Hudson, to be admired by Manhattan gawpers. But it was at Hampton Roads, Va. that the greatest majesty of the Fleet was seen.

Last spring young Oros rode his first winner-at the Aurora race track. This winter, still an "apprentice," he outrode his most experienced rivals at the Fair Grounds in New Orleans, then moved on to Bowie to lead the field there as well.

But once John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers, rode triumphantly up Main Street. Joseph Beddal was killed during the strike of 1902 trying to smuggle arms to strikebreakers besieged in the Reading station. In Muff Lawler's saloon on Coal Street, a young detective named McParlan, hired by President Gowen of the Reading, joined the Molly McGuires, later...
...Crimson squad made a definite attempt to retrieve the game in the third chukker and chalked up four to Army's one. In the last period the victorious West Pointers rode rough-shod over the tired malletmen, scoring five more points to Harvard...
