First U. S. Saengerbund was organized in 1835 at Philadelphia, first Saengerfest held in 1849 at Cincinnati. Thereafter all over the country the German music germ spread. In the West during the woolly days of the Gold Rush, a Dr. Maleck, stout fellow of the rough frontier, led miners, gamblers, traders, hangers-on in rollicking Teutonic song. For the rest of the century, German societies sprang up, lived a short time, died. It was not until 1905 that the present Pacific Saengerbund was born. Robert Lorentz was its organizer, G. G. Reigger its leader. In 1910 the first Pacific fest...
...counsellors were Alton K. ("Al") Marsters, last season's fleet Dartmouth quarterback, and Alfred C. ("Al") Lassman, husky All-American tackle for New York University in 1928. But gloom filled Zakelo a month ago. It was announced that "Al" Lassman had taken a canoe out at night in rough water, that the canoe had capsized, that Lassman had drowned (TIME, July 14).

The thick-matted rough seldom fails to cost a player a stroke whenever he strays into it. The greens of Stolon Bent are smooth but tricky to putt...
Publishers Ryan and Gray first acquired the New Jersey Freie Zeitung, Newark's German language morning paper, which was finding its road rough. In the Freie Zeitung's plant they established their new English paper confident that the thriving port of Newark (pop. 439,506) could well support a second morning paper. The only competition, the Newark Ledger, is a tabloid. The new publishers figured their English paper should even pull its elder German brother out of the hole. Pleased and curious, Newark bought daily an average of 21,000 copies of the new Free Press...
