...Duckwalking Bobby had little to do late in the week but watch Welby wallop stylists like Elwood Cooke and Wayne Sabin (who beat Quist). When the final round came Sunday afternoon, 21-year-old Bobby knew how to handle Welby. Bobby kept him moving, fed him no setup lobs, passed him at the net, caught him flustered and flatfooted with service aces, finished him off in straight sets, 6-4, 6-2, 6-4. Bobby won the title, but the boy they talked about on the way home was Welby. "Next year," they said. In the women's singles...
...cost setup, with Correspondent John Steele the only staff man abroad, Chicago Tribune's Sigrid Schultz on retainer in Berlin, Waverly Root in Paris, English Newsman Patrick Maitland on tap in Warsaw. At home plate virtually the whole team is clear and quick-thinking, war-trained Commentator Raymond Gram Swing, who has been eating, sleeping, reading, listening, broadcasting round the clock in a 24th floor office of WOR on Broadway...

The Metropolitan Opera Association, which produces the operas, does not own the dirty, mustard-colored building on midtown Broadway, but leases it from the Metropolitan Opera and Real Estate Co. This organization is nothing more nor less than the owners of the Metropolitan's 35 parterre boxes ("Diamond Horseshoe"). Each box holder owns 300 shares of $100-par stock, and liability for a possible annual assessment...
...Legion membership is now in its political prime. He has an executive record uncomplicated by such national issues as Relief, Money, Neutrality. Above all he has absolute mastery of Indiana through a machine that is as old-fashioned in its efficiency as it is modern in its setup. Indiana has only 14 electoral votes to offer, only 28 delegates in the National Democratic Convention. But Paul McNutt can count on delivering these white chips with greater certainty than even Cordell Hull can be sure of Tennessee or Jack Garner of Texas. At this stage of the 1940 game, no other...
