...Pollard team''-so-called for All-America Negro Halfback Frederick ("Fritz") Pollard-which inaugurated the Tournament of Roses' annual U. S. "championship" by losing to Washington State, 0-to-14. In 1917 when Footballer Wade graduated and returned home to his father's farm at Trenton, Tenn. he found Trenton thinking not of the Rose Bowl but of War.

Arrest. For several weeks SEC has been investigating the sale of some 273,000 shares of stock registered last year by Trenton Valley Distillers Corp., a sizable company with a plant at Detroit, which is now closed.

In flocked some 55,000 fight fans, an estimated 70% of them Italian, began booing when Gavino Matta, Italy's flyweight champion, lost the second bout on the program to pint-sized Negro Bobby Carroll of Trenton. Only knockout of the evening was scored by Willie Smith, Harlem featherweight, who floored courageous Federico Cortonesi three times before the referee intervened in the second round. Otherwise Italian honor was dutifully upheld as Italy won six bouts to the U. S. five...
...Trenton, muscular Governor Harold Giles Hoffman, who had sworn to resist the Sit-Down with "the full resources of the State," leaped to the rescue of Thermoid's involuntary sitters, had State troopers convoy a truckload of food and bedding to them. When the sheriff declared himself unable to enforce a court decree ordering the strikers to stop interfering with the company's operations, Governor Hoffman dispatched 30 blue-clad State troopers to stand guard...
