...Chervinsky were upstairs whither the lawyers, joined by special police, quickly followed. Battering through more oak, they found the Rev. Secretary and his wife. "I'm sick," said Mrs. Chervinsky from the bed, "go away." "We'll get an ambulance," said a detective. Instantly she threw back the bedcovers, jumped forth full-clad...
...party of Protestant missionaries discovered last week in Catholic Granada, Nicaragua. From the outset the local Catholic Bishop was distinctly adverse to having the Protestant Central American Mission ensconced in his diocese. But the Protestants came, presumably to proselytize, and the Catholics grew irate, made angry noises, threw stones, then threatened violence, death.

He did so because the raid was conducted under a search warrant sworn out by a Prohibition agent under an assumed name.

...Clay Court Championship. The former had been a trifle below form, while Lott had played a glittering, trenchant game, won the first set, the third set, and brought the score to 4 all in the fifth and deciding set of the match. Then it was that Tilden threw down the balls he had been about to serve with and lifted a lean face, whittled leaner by anxiety and irritation, toward the yelling, jostling hooligans in the stands. The umpire besought order; the noise dwindled; again the sping-spung of balls became audible. Lott took the ninth game; the crowd...
