...known of the early Ghegs and Tosks (Albanians) except that their country was administered by Turkey from 1431 to 1912. When independence from the Turk was proclaimed, Albania became a pawn in the Balkan game, coveted alike by Austria, Serbia, Greece and Italy. During the War, first the Austrians overran the country; then the Italians who proclaimed a Protectorate over it. In 1920, when Premier Giolitti was in power, the Albanians kicked the Italians out-which insult the "Ities" (not then being Fascisti) swallowed with marked humility. Albanian independence for the second time was established...

Peirce's work at right tackle was of great help to the team, and with few exceptions he filled his place very satisfactorily. The Harvard ends with the exception of Orr, who replaced Starr...
...advanced to second on Fincke's single, after Jaynes had gone out on a liner to shortstop. A double steal put the runners on second and third, but the two succeeding batsmen were retired at first base. For Holy Cross, Connor got a base on balls, and overran second on Linnehan's grounder. He was caught between the bases, but reached third safely, Linnehan taking second. Connor was caught trying to score on Fox's attempt to bunt, Fox struck out, and the next batter went out on a fly ball...
