...Army, although it has been outdoors only ten days, has shown itself to be a smooth-working aggregation. The New York Giants gained a 6 to 1 decision over them, while the powerful University of Pennsylvania nine secured only a 4 to 1 verdict. In the latter contest, Stribling, who is slated to twirl this afternoon, pitched the first five innings and yielded but one run. In the event that Stribling falters, Beauchamp will be called to the box for mound duty. Zimmerman and Humber, Cadet gardeners, are the most dangerous of the visiting batters...

McGrady was seized, placed in a taxi, threatened with death if he ever returned, deported to the Virginia-Tennesee line at Bristol...
...born 65 years ago in Bethany, Ill., Senator Jones has never taken a drink (that he knows of), has never smoked tobacco, has seen, he says, only one drunken man in all his life. His range of legislative interest has by no means been confined to prohibition. No smooth speaker, never brilliant, his name is nevertheless upon the latest Merchant Marine Act (Jones-White) under which eleven great Shipping Board vessels were recently sold (TIME, Feb. 18).
