...actual running of the Kentucky Derby, over a mile-and-a-quarter of chocolate-colored loam at Churchill Downs, takes a few seconds more than two minutes. As the horses paraded to the post last week, Crystal Prince shied at the loud band playing "Swanee River." Cee Tee and Tick On made trouble at the barrier. Cee Tee was placed outside and when the barrier finally sprang after 15½ min., Tick On was pocketed behind the field. It took Fator on Brother Joe about a half-mile to find that he had picked the wrong horse. Brother Joe pulled...
...subject of the cartoon (Joseph Taylor Robinson of Arkansas, Democratic leader of the Senate, defying Louisiana's loud Democratic Senator Huey Pierce Long) and the caption ("The real issue in Washington . . . Patriotism vs Communism") were not very exciting. But the U. S. flag held by Senator Robinson and a Communist banner brandished by Senator Long, were in vivid, eye-smashing red. The U.

Kingfish Levinsky's earning power is due partly to an engaging slapstick manner in the ring, an engaging entourage which includes his sister Mrs. Lena ("Leaping Lena") Levy, famed for her loud voice and strong talk. It is due partly to the fact that most of Levinsky's fights have been in Chicago, where everyone knows that he grew up on the West Side and entered the fish-peddling business with a pushcart on Maxwell Street...
...Londos's toes. For 21 min. 42 sec. the two groveled, grunted, snorted, glowered, slapped, twisted and oozed. Once De Vito bowled over Londos with a butt in the stomach. Finally Londos whirled De Vito around his head in an "airplane spin," threw him down with a loud thud, sat on top of his chest until old fat Ernest Roeber, who used to be a professional wrestler and now referees many of Londos's championship bouts, patted his back for winning...
