Alcazar and Alhambra. In broiling summer Madrid were scarcely any Ambassadors or Ministers when the Revolution broke. Of the diplomatic underlings left to run things none has hung on more tenaciously in Madrid than U. S. Third Secretary Eric Wendelin, buttressed by his spunky wife. Last week even the brave diplomatic pups of the Great Powers were about to be whistled home. To 156 U. S. citizens still in Madrid, most of whom have commercial interests there, gallant Mr. Wendelin gave notice that at any moment he might be obliged to close the U. S. Embassy and that every...
...Hall of Ambassadors of the Alhambra in Granada squatted last week marooned U. S. tourists watching troops of the Revolution taking over the proletarian quarter below.

A minute later Pilot Morrie Gordon, who had taken the plane up from Los Angeles' Alhambra Airport for a pleasure ride, lit blandly on the edge of town. Citizens were amazed to learn that he could not have been held responsible for any damage his plummeting plane might have done, was not legally responsible to the plane's owner, Mark G. Carlton, for the cracked...
Charles C. Davis of Kansas City and Theodore Allen of Alhambra, Calif., the two finalists who were tied at the end of the round-robin. In the play-off (two games out of three), Allen won, 50-28, 50-27. He had established a world's record, throwing 73.5% ringers in the tournament. A farmer until recently when he got a job with a transfer company, he is a shy, sandy-haired, well-built fellow with a missing tooth. Now 24, he has been pitching half his life, throws a soft lead shoe with 1¼ turns, takes time...
