...onslaughts, the Messrs. Shubert tightened their hold on what remained. About 14 months ago, the U.S. Department of Justice's antitrust division set FBI agents poking through the Shuberts' files, buttonholing show people in the rabbit warrens of Broadway casting offices. Last week Attorney General J. Howard McGrath rang up the curtain on a little drama of his own. In Manhattan's federal district court he slapped on a civil suit charging the Messrs. Shubert with monopolizing the U.S. theater in violation of the antitrust law. For good measure, he also sued Marcus Heiman, joint owner with...
Squeeze Play. In a 23-page complaint, McGrath ticked off the defendants' alleged sins against free trade. They control 15 of the 32 theaters in New York, seven out of nine in Chicago, two out of three in Detroit, and all the houses in Boston, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.

The two-mile is not very strong. Mikkola chooses from among Cairns, Ellis, Bill Baker, Al Ruby, and George Williams. But the half-mile men must go under 2 minutes, and only Williams and Cairns seem capable of doing it. Also, Cairns has to run the mile first...
