...Angeles. Down to the ringside of a fine new boxing stadium strutted a gentleman in a tuxedo. There were other gentlemen present in similar garb for this was a night to which reporters would doubtless affix, in their matutinal commentaries, the adjective "gala." The Olympic Stadium, on which $1,000,000 had just been spent, was about to be opened by scuffles between Salvadore and Jessick, lightweights, and Brown and Grandetta, bantams. "Cold Ice Cream, a Spoon in Every Package," cried vendors; candy was offered, soda-pop-the crowd ignored these amenities the better to stare at the tuxedoed gentleman...
...generals, statesmen, literary lions, captains of industry, peers and parasites eyed the heeling white boats, for it was the first day of the famed Cowes Week, and the King's cutter with Prince Henry and the Duke of Connaught aboard was racing against Sir Thomas and the others. Doubtless in the gnarled heart of that connoisseur of defeats there pricked, for a moment, the thrill of the possibility of victory; his boat was first at the gun; the royal cutter slipped farther and farther behind.

A report of Dr. Robert Cushman Murphy of the American Museum of Natural History last spring (TIME, April 13) indicated that El Niño, a warm current from the north which encounters the Humboldt off the coast of Peru about Christmas time, appeared a trifle behind schedule last winter but in unusual volume and southward reach...
...Seabright, N. J. David of Israel, on the day when he sent a round pebble into the dim, appalling brain of Goliath, was doubtless a thin, supple little man like William M. Johnston, onetime (1915, '19) national champion. Johnston's accuracy, in his heyday, was doubtless superior to that of the Israelite champion, but they both made the same appeal to a gallery-the appeal of skill, of courage, hazardously sustained by slight flesh. In 1921, 1922 and 1923, Johnston won the Seabright Lawn Tennis Bowl. Last week he got off a train from Chicago and within four...
Among threats Dr. Thom doubtless had in mind: "Be good or the doctor will cut your tongue out." "The old man with a black bag picks up little girls who don't mind their mothers...
