When Ben Chapman, the New York Yankees' leftfielder, slid into second base, he cut the foot of Charley Myer, the Washington Senators' second baseman, with his spikes. Myer fell, picked himself up and then before Chapman could get up, kicked his leg. This was the incident which last week started the liveliest baseball fight in years. Players from both teams rushed out on the field. Manager Joe Cronin of Washington caught Chapman after he had taken a few punches at Myer. Umpires George Moriarty and Harry Geisel managed to restrain other players before the fight became general. They...
...with any guts should." He hesitates, just before being taken away. "He did have a good word to say for you," hard-boiled Red finally admits. Albert Bein, author of this vital, brilliantly cast play, is no stranger to reform schools. He spent five years in one, lost a leg trying to escape. Poems which he wrote while imprisoned were praised by Clarence Darrow, Zona Gale. Russian-born, he is now 29. In 1930 he wrote a book called Love In Chicago under the pseudonym of Charles Walt, combined Christian names of his favorite authors-Dickens and Whitman. Author Bein...
Hillyer's trouser-leg was pulled very strongly; Hillyer reported that the psychic's feet were not near his feet when his trouser cuff was pulled. An electric bulb on the ceiling fiashed on and off.

...start. With no companions but two stocky, middle-aged (15 and 16) Argentine Criollo horses, "thoroughbred in nothing except courage," Tschiffely headed north. Gato (the Cat), Mancha (the Stained One) and their master were two and a half years on the road. Gato came down with an infected leg in Tapachula, Mexico, had to be shipped to Mexico City by rail, but Mancha and Tschiffely made the whole trek (except for a short boat-ride from Cartagena to Colon, another around revolutionary Nicaragua) under their own power...
National League. The Chicago Cubs, National League champions, were less discouraged than they might have been by an accident to Outfielder Cuyler last week. In a game against Hollywood he fractured his right leg sliding to second base. He broke a bone in his foot a year ago and got back into the lineup in time to help his team win the pennant. More discouraging to Manager Charles Grimm has been the failure of his new pitchers to round into shape, though he has a staff of able veterans-Malone, Bush, Root, Warneke -to fall back upon...
