...will be used for a moving target for practice by the giant Mississippi, most powerful ship afloat. Under radio control she will be given a run for her life, dodging, turning and racing her engines in a final effort to escape. Five-inch guns, then 14-inch rifles will pour their fire into her. To prolong her agonies special shells will be used and wireless-controlled pumps will try to keep her above water. If by some desperate chance she survives, the once proud Iowa will be sold as junk. Night attacks upon the Panama Canal defenses, thought...
...encomia this son of the Volga. Challapin is a master of all phases of the art of singing, and his legate work, his use of the portamento, and his planissimo are unexcelled today. Although he could easily do so, he never commits the sin which the French call "chantant pour la galerie"; when the composer has written a low note Challiapin doesn't take a high one for the sake of a little more applause. In this he differs from most contemporary singers, especially tenors. His forte work is, of course, remarkable; and his climaxes, always beautifully executed, are memorable...
...keyed to a high pitch by reason of the closeness of the score. The game was called, they reasoned, in order to permit the baseball "magnates" to pocket the proceeds of the game, whose total considerably exceeded $100,000.

Upon his head an angry and tumultuous crowd of between 5000 and 8000 poured invective after invective, and if Judge Landis escaped without bodily harm...
...contest in which both the University and Yale teams have steadily been one jump behind the Weatherman. When Tuesday's game was called off at New Haven, conditions were fair in Cambridge; and when both teams were at Cambridge yesterday there was an accommodating let-up in the down-pour at New Haven. Apparently the signals have been mixed somewhere. Instead of having any of the players "sent to the showers", the authorities are sending the showers after the players. Aside from the fact that members of both teams are reported to have struck for more pay or one night...
...gauntlet is becoming a most alarmingly "catch-as-catch-can" sport, or, in another metaphor, a case of dog eat dog. An S. P. C. G., now, might also help out. After all, the graduate has been taught to talk, to fill examination books to bursting, and to pour his vast knowledge forth at the least hint. Of course, he has not necessarily been told that he must express any original ideas or constructive theories--and this, mirabile dictu! may be what Mr. Morley is hinting at; in which case we shall be forced to accuse him of sareasm...
