...first round Schmeling, a 2-to-1 favorite, although he was outweighed 189 to 203 lb., was surprised when Baer, instead of sparring cautiously, planted a thumping left hook to the head, followed it with looping dangerous rights. Confused, Schmeling backed up against the ropes, managed to get in one crashing right to the chin before the round ended. In the second round, grinning whenever Schmeling reached his face with short jolting punches, Baer was still forcing the fight, but in the third he was less aggressive. Referee Arthur Donovan warned him for hitting low, awarded the round to Schmeling...
...decade ago the Senate Public Lands Committee was hunting official corruption. Scandal was in the air and Senator Walsh was out to prove by concrete facts an ugly hook-up between the oil business and the U. S. Government. Last week the Senate Banking & Currency Committee had no such tangible mission. It was probing the whole intricate subject of private banking, with the House of Morgan as Exhibit A.

The game was delayed until nearly 10:30 p. m. so that an international radio hook-up could let Argentines hear how the ponies they sold the U. S. players last year and the Optimists were making out. Watched by a crowd of 11,000, the Optimists made out very well. Cadaverous, imperious Winston Guest scored the first goal. He and Major Smith had a scramble...
...last time a Western team won the Challenge Cup was in 1922. Fifteen minutes after the kickoff in the second game in New York last week, sandy-haired little McLean took a pass from his 17-year-old halfback, Ollie Bohlman, sent a rightfoot hook shot into the corner of the net. The Americans evened the score with a fluky goal before the half was out but McLean got one more chance to break the tie. When there were only seven minutes left to play, he sent in a corner kick, low and wide, to his centre, Werner ("Scotty") Nilsen...
