...Hurdler (400-meter) Charley Moore, whose time of 0:50.7 upset the meet record by a full second...
Where's Charley? (Warner) adds tunes, Technicolor and limber-legged Ray Bolger to that durable old 1892 romp, Charley's Aunt, to make a merry cinemusical. As Oxford Undergraduate Charley,* Bolger sings & dances in his ingratiatingly gawky style.

...time-the third inning, with rain threatening-no one thought much of Erskine's chances for a no-hitter, least of all Brooklyn's Manager Charley Dressen. With a glance at the lowering skies, Dressen hollered at Erskine: "Hurry up and get this guy out!" Erskine threw four hurried pitches, all fast balls, all wide of the plate, and Ramsdell walked. Moments later the rain came and held up play for 44 minutes. Pitcher Erskine, 25, spent the time in a clubhouse bridge game...
