Favorite was Challedon. Though a year younger than his rivals, he had already earned more money ($242,000) than either of them, had already broken the world's record for a mile-and-three-sixteenths. More important to sentimental, superstitious racing fans, the big bay colt was bred at nearby Walkersville, had always shown a fondness for the Pimlico track. There he turned his first big trick, when he won the Pimlico Futurity as a two-year-old. There he became the darling of Maryland by beating undefeated Johnstown in the Preakness last spring...
...business sold 58,000,000 tons for $345,000,000-a record. Six years later only 60% of its business was left and the electric refrigerator had doubled its sales. Then, in 1935, paunchy Robert Carl Suhr, president of 24-State, $44,000,000 City Ice & Fuel Co., was less scared than most icemen.

...trotted into The Bronx's Yankee Stadium for their 26th annual skirmish with Army, 78,000 spellbound spectators watched them. Most of them had never seen either West Point or South Bend, but this was their "Homecoming Game." Notre Dame rooters were proud of their team's record. In five games so far this season it had defeated Purdue, Georgia Tech, Southern Methodist, Navy, Carnegie Tech-none of them pushovers. But to Army rooters that record was just the luck of the Irish: a field goal had beaten Purdue and Georgia Tech, a single point-after-touchdown...
...PERSONAL RECORD-Julian Green-Harper ($3). Once or twice in any year, irrelevant to the fashion and the praise of the season, a book quietly appears which, no less quietly, adds itself to the serious and valuable writing of the world. Personal Record is such a book...
