...test of the vessel's powers, another heavy fog was encountered on the way back over Trenton. The ship lost her bearings for a short time, sailed out some four miles to sea, but recovered her course shortly afterwards and reached Lakehurst in the early morning, having made a round trip of 1,000 miles in something under 24 hours...
Miss Glenna Collett, Providence 76 87 163 Mrs. D. C. Kurd, Philadelphia 90 87 177 Mrs. G. H. Stetson, Philadelphia 89 90 179 Mrs. H. A.

The verdict favored Johnny, and all critics were agreed that Luis had learnt a valuable lesson...
Walker vs. Tendler. In Philadelphia, a ten-round contest for the welterweight title was decided in favor of Champion Mickey Walker, who refused to give Lew Tendler (lefthanded lightweight) the ghost of a chance.
