A teacher in P.S. 61, The Bronx, one Alfred J. Brooks, was revealed to have divided his time between The Bronx and Moscow. He had had seven leaves of absence from school since he became a teacher in 1922. Benjamin Gitlow and Joseph Zack, ex-Communist functionaries, said they had seen him in Moscow in 1927-28, working for the Communist International. His alleged party name: Bosse...
...home forces scored twice in the first, and it began to look like a rout, but the Purple moundsman tightened up, and whiffed two men in a row. Only other Crimson tally came in the sixth when Captain Ned Fitzgibbons reached on a fielder's choice, and came home when Paul Quinn's single to center stretched out into a three-bagger by way of a fielder's choice and an error by the first baseman.

The retreat was no rout. It was a desperate withdrawal across Albania, in which a few thousand men held Babuna Pass for several days against 35,000 Bulgarian attackers, in which King Peter I, old and sick, escaped through snow and mountains in an oxcart, and from which 125,000 out of 385,000 managed...
