...space by picking the very day on which he made two home runs as their own time to break loose and wreck a city. It is too bad that some of the news on busy days can't be set in the refrigerator and saved up for display when happenings are duller. If there were closer co-operation between the morning papers this could be accomplished...
...window, hired out for the day as a clothing dummy, and a very good dummy I make too, as Max allowed when he agreed to return my last year's flannels for two hours of standing in his window.

With such an even record behind each team, the netmen will attempt to attract crowds from the Intercollegiates on Soldiers Field by a display of the best tennis which has been offered spectators at Divinity Courts this season.

They broke at the turn; the thud of their racing-plates sounded incredibly loud, a prolonged piratical drum-roll, in the silence that replaced the crowd's first roar...
...labor as a teamster on a traction project of Lanesburg's genius and potentate, Railroad Jones. From his fellow teamsters he learns the technique of hillbilly manhood- gulping moonshine, shooting craps Saturday nights in a wood, toting an automatic pistol for protection on "rambling" (courting) nights and for display at prayer-meetings. He reveres the four local gods- public opinion, money, wit and a glowering celestial Patriarch who, seeing all, likes little...
