Devens and Mahoney were the rival pitchers in that duel and it is likely that the same pair will be on the mound tomorrow. Devens, however, who won the first game with his triple when the bases were loaded and lost it by his numerous walks and his error in the ninth inning, should ascend the mound this afternoon under much more favorable circumstances. In the Worcester contest he had the disadvantage of pitching before a highly partisan crowd of some 5000 spectators which swept the field with yelling whenever the Purple threatened the Crimson lead. Tomorrow, on his home...
...pair of shears is visible when the Henry Romeike clipping crew is at work full blast in its Manhattan loft. About 60 young women sit at benches, expertly scanning the 1,900 dailies and 5,000 weeklies which have been sorted from great stacks of mail bags. (Newspaper subscriptions are a bureau's largest expense excepting labor.) Pasted on a wall before each girl's eyes is a typewritten list of clients and subjects most difficult to remember. The bulk of the 7,000 names and words for which she must watch is carried in her head...
Pilot P. G. Stevens glanced aft at the four passengers in his Buhl Airsedan over Santa Ana, Calif, one day last week, then gave a lever a yank.

Three seconds later the pilot yanked again and the other two passengers were swung...

The canvas came from a pair of the North Pole discoverer's brown pants. The artist was Albert Operti, a Peary companion on two Polar trips. Particularly interested in that painting is Josephine Diebitsch Peary, the widow, first white woman to winter with an Arctic expedition. She lives at South Harpswell, Me. Next month her daughter, Mrs. Marie Ahnighito ("Snow Baby") Stafford, who was born "farther north than any other white person...
...Changed His Name (by Edgar Wallace; Frank Conroy, producer) This tragi-comic study of a pair of guilty consciences is said to have been prolific Playwright Wallace's favorite script chiefly because it is one of his few opera which presents not a single corpse. Not long before the playwright's death his friend Actor-Manager Conroy acquired the producing rights to the play and it is largely due to his nimbly raised eyebrows and innocently malicious innuendoes that The Man Who Changed His Name contains two plausibly amusing acts, the first and second...
