...tight corner last week. A train of threes had run its course in 1932 when he won the Derby for the third time. Then in 1933 two miracles happened to him at once: he won the Derby for the fourth time and for the second time in succession, unheard of in the race's history. What Colonel Bradley was hoping against hope for last week was that a new sequence of fortunate threes had been started which would terminate in Bazaar's victory this week. The prayers of every loyal Kentuckian, whose bet is traditionally "Bradley across...
...disrobed at intervals in the program, perhaps the most alluring was Miss Joan Dare, but other members of the audience loudly held that Miss Nora (Hotcha) Ford outstripped them all.

He presented the ring to Murdoch, only Ranger to play in each and every one of the team's 400 games, an unheard-of record in hockey. In eight seasons he had suffered nothing worse than flesh gashes and lost teeth. A strong, tireless skater, he has gained 20 lb. during his Ranger career. His most famed exploit was making three goals within a minute in a game against Boston...
