...Austin's for the first time in his career, ran up a 4-1 lead. Perry broke his service and won his own twice to tie the score. With the score 4-5 and advantage-in, Perry served what looked like an ace. The linesman called it a fault and Cochet gallantly caught the next serve in his left hand. The set then turned into a long exchange of service games which ended 10-8 for Cochet. Perry took the next two which followed the same pattern, 6-4 and 8-6. Cochet put on what pressure he could...
Like many plays of its type, Double Harness has the major fault of trying to make an arresting problem out of a painfully apparent fallacy. Nonetheless, pleasant interiors, good clothes and two smooth performances by its principal actors help make it inoffensive comedy drama until the last reel.

The cook fights with the butler. The guest of honor sits down alone with his hostess. When...

At 0-30, Vines served one fault and Crawford, forcing the rally on his second ball, passed him at the net. Vines was astounded. He shambled back to the baseline, served once more, netted Crawford's return to end the match...
...very small number of syllables with the left hand alone. High school misspellers started the research which eventually led to the Dvorak-Dealey keyboard. Professor Dvorak about ten years ago wondered why high school typists constantly misspelled 50 common words** which first-and second-year school children know. The fault lay with the standard keyboard, he decided. Remington, Royal and Underwood have built typewriters with the Dvorak-Dealey arrangement, which the University of Washington Book Store has been vending. But the manufacturers are reluctant to put the new arrangement on the general market, for the millions of typists throughout...
