Last week in New York, Pitcher Hubbell walked out to the pitcher's box to try to extend his string to 25 against the Brooklyn Dodgers, as a preface to receiving a prize for being the most valuable National League player of 1936. When the game ended, Pitcher Hubbell needed the prize for consolation. Aided by able pitching from towering Van Lingle Mungo, one of Hubbell's few real rivals, Brooklyn had knocked him out of the box in the fourth inning, beaten the Giants...
Queens. Scheduled to open in September for 400 students is co-educational Queens College, the fourth of New York City's teeming municipal centres of higher learning: City College, Hunter College, Brooklyn College.

In 1883 Henderson joined the staff of the New York Times, and four years later he was made its music critic. But editors did not forget Billy Henderson's fine news stories on the death of William Henry Vanderbilt and the blowing up of Flood Rock. When...
Aldrich studied his music at Harvard and later in Germany. In 1885 he went back to Providence, his birthplace, and wrote editorials and reviews for its Journal. For two years he was secretary to Senator Dixon of Rhode Island. For eleven more he was the New York Tribune's assistant music critic, working with Krehbiel. When Henderson left the Times in 1902 he proposed Aldrich as his successor. Until 1924, when failing health made Aldrich write more sparingly, his articles, as oracular as Henderson's, proved the wisdom of the choice...
