...Thomas Yawkey. For his team this year Mr. Yawkey had a rebuilt stadium and an almost completely new roster of players including famed Robert Moses Grove who was Mickey Cochrane's longtime battery mate on the Athletics.

Even so the Red Sox, consistent tail-enders in their league for the last nine years, were last week in third place, two games ahead of the hard-hitting Cleveland Indians. Washington was in fifth place. Philadelphia was establishing itself firmly in the lower half along with St. Louis...

"Scratch a patron or a collector, and you find a dealer." Modern Art brings forward for public inspection Mr. Craven's sincere belief and hope that an "explicitly native art" is now growing in the U.

...Crimson also has to its credit a tie with Princeton. As far as any comparison is possible it looks as if the Mitchellmen's .273 batting average, compared with Pennsylvania's .220, will give them the jump at the plate, while the Quakers' crack fielding is going to make scratch hits and bases on errors as scarce as the well known hen's teeth on a duck farm...
