...trophies, never lost one of his 73 championships, except by default. He holds his rubber-faced racket with the tennis, not the penholder grip popular among his U. S. confreres. His best stroke is the backhand which he uses for nine out of ten returns. With his friend Sandor Glancz, Barna helped win for Hungary the Swaythling trophy, Davis Cup of ping-pongists, for which play will begin this week at the Wembley Swimming Pool in London...

...summer home near New Milford, Conn, elephantine William Hanford ("Big Bill") Edwards, oldtime Princeton footballer, onetime Collector of Internal Revenue at New York City, entertained elephantine Sandor Szabo, Hungarian wrestling "champion." Reported the New Milford Times: "Mr. Szabo did much woodchopping at the Edwards place?in fact there are some who say that 'Big Bill' was short of kindlings and therefore invited one who could and did enjoy chopping. We however, do not believe this vile rumor." The Times did believe and report that "Big Bill" and Szabo engaged in a friendly bout on the lake shore, that "Big Bill...
