...mile run was the best performance of Northrop's career. Dogged by successive cases of illness he has seldom had an even chance to fulfill expectations. In last summer's Oxford-Cambridge meet he approached his worth when he did 4:19 behind Godfrey Brown. But Saturday was the best of all when he crossed the finish line five yards ahead of Rhode Island's Stan Holt. Northrop's right shoe came off at the beginning of the last quarter...

Borodin, claims Beals, invited him to participate in a plot to recover a million dollars worth of Tsarist jewels which he had lost to a double-crossing German revolutionist in Haiti. Pugilist Jack Johnson, a favorite of the carousing Mexican generals, gave Beals a $20 donation to start a literary magazine. Mike Gold disappointed Beals by giving up poetry to become a Communist columnist...
