Having skimmed Africa, spanned the Atlantic, looped South America, threaded the West Indies, Commander Francesco De Pinedo, swart Fascist ace, last week swooped into New Orleans with his two aides in their big seaplane. He had just shaved freshly out over the Gulf of Mexico, finished off his ship's last bottle of Chianti, played his phonograph. Voluble gentlemen, one of them enormously corpulent (Mayor O'Keefe), welcomed him to the U. S. Soon he was hopping again, to Galveston, to San Antonio. His four-continent itinerary called for flight across the desert southwest to the Pacific, north to Seattle...
...Atlanta, Ga., journeyed dapper Walter Hagen, noisy Bill Mehlhorn, dour Bobbie Cruickshank, swart Gene Sarazen, with many another expert, professional wielder of wood and iron.

Who but His Lordship would even have thought...
...speck dropped into the leftfield bleachers and Ruth jogged around the bases pouting because he was all alone. Then Koenig fumbled, Meusel muffed, and the Cardinals scored thrice. In the sixth, New York squeaked in its second run and in the seventh filled the bases with two out. As swart Lazzeri dawdled to the plate, the Cardinals huddled around Pitcher Haines. In the stands an angry growl rose to pandemonium. Manager Hornsby came out of the huddle and shouted towards the distant "bull pen" (where pitchers practice). No one appeared. Fielder Hafey spun on his heel to carry the message...
