Into the Hollywood Legion Stadium to see some boxing matches stepped jaunty, garrulous Walter Winchell, gossip colyumist for the New York Mirror. Up from his ringside seat jumped Mammy-Singer Al Jolson, whose big-eyed wife, Ruby Keeler, had started to whimper at the sight of Winchell. Smack went Jolson's fist and down went Winchell. Smack went Jolson's other fist and down went Wrinchell again. After other spectators, including a woman who wielded her sharp-heeled slipper, had driven Jolson off, word buzzed through the excited audience that Ruby Keeler was upset because Winchell...
Austin v. Vines. Vines won the first game on his own serve. Little Bunny Austin, scampering smoothly about the red clay centre court at Roland Garros Stadium in his boyish white shorts, won the next two. Even seeing Vines's serve broken so early in the match did not prepare the crowd for what followed. Vines made ten double-faults. He pushed his drives out of court, angled his volleys past the sidelines. Then, the speed of his game lowered by Auteuil's slow clay and the slow French balls, he tried to match Austin's gentle...
...shade of Edmund Burke may have smiled reminiscently as University of Chicago's goateed Dean of Education Charles Hubbard Judd thundered this peroration in Chicago's West Side Stadium one night last week.

Tulsa University's 83-piece Symphony Orchestra, which annually gives a series of summer concerts in a football stadium donated by Oilman William Grove Skelly, determined to present Aïda. Carlo Edwards of the Metropolitan Opera, vacationing with his wife's relatives at Sand Springs, was asked to direct. Tenor Forrest Lamont of the defunct Chicago Opera (TIME, July 4, 1932) was called to sing Radames...
...best time, and was benefiting by the exhilaration which athletes usually feel for the first few days in a strange land. After the gun cracked, Hazen set the pace for the first quarter-mile, Bonthron and Lovelock at his heels. Officials and athletes under bright umbrellas in Palmer Stadium's centre field shook their heads. The runners were going much too fast. In the third quarter Horan moved out front. It proved to be the slowest part of the race, but fast enough to prevent Horan from finishing. Then Bonthron, a bit ahead of Lovelock, took the lead...
