...British Fascist, Sir Oswald Ernald Mosley, put on a one-man show before 15.000 Londoners last week which ended in a hundred fist fights, scores of hair pullings and some bloody work with razors. Sir Oswald drew no blood but a good many shrugs by his feat seven weeks ago of filling Albert Hall with 10,000 London ers whose applause of his hour and a half speech left the nation cold.

The Blue team began to take ahold of his pitches, and the runs poured over the plate. The crowning feat of the inning was a homer by Vines of the opponents when the bases were loaded...
Nearly two milleniums ago a man who liked monuments sent his Roman legions into the Alps and in three brisk campaigns made vassals of its 44 tribes.

When Nemecsek's mother arrives to find her son, small Nemecsek is dead. The next day, a steam-shovel starts digging up the Paul Street lot for the foundation of an apartment house...
...Symphony written in Switzerland a short time ago. The composer has said of this symphony: "I have been sparing in my use of percussion punctuation in an attempt to make the music itself intrinsically rhythmic." In this he has amply succeeded. He has been so involved in this technical feat, however, that by the time the third movement is reached, the music strikingly resembles a popular tune. This is a fact not in the least derogatory to the symphony but it is likely to shorten its life when it becomes more generally known...
