Dillon's two goals against Toronto, bringing his total to seven in the play-off series, set a record which was the more unusual in that he is a member of a second-string forward line that was supposed to be weak. In the preliminary series against the Montreal Canadiens and the Detroit Red Wings, he had helped eclipse the Rangers famed first-string forwards (Frank Boucher and the Cook brothers. Bill & Bun). Almost as surprising as the performance of Dillon last week was the work of the Rangers' youthful, mop-haired, talkative goaltender, Andy Aitkenhead. A recruit...
...drugstore in Baltimore and landed in the boots of 50-million-dollar oilman in Tulsa. His second spring took him from the boots of Tulsa nouveau riche and landed him in the patent leather pumps of one of Manhattan's 400; with a $600,000 string of pearls for his wife (the second Mrs. Cosden by that time), with a million-dollar estate on Long Island, a two-million dollar home at Palm Beach, a stud farm in Virginia. It was at the Cosden home, "The Cedars," at Port Washington, L. I., that on the morning of Sept...
...bait. But rarer is the U. S. editor, as Mr. Shaw knows, who can resist printing readable copy. When his beard was red, Shaw's neatly phrased insults were truly startling. White-bearded now and more self-consciously rude, he still saws away so skilfully on his single string that the results are as monotonously fascinating as Oriental music.

Jock Whitney's uncle was the late Harry Payne Whitney, who inherited most of William Collins Whitney's fortune, organized the U. S. polo team that beat England in 1909, owned and sailed the America's Cup contender Vanitie (1910), in 1930 left the finest string of race horses in the U. S. to Cornelius Vanderbilt ("Sonny") Whitney, his son by Sculptress Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney. Sonny Whitney, almost as horsy as his Cousin Jock, has extended his family's business interests by becoming an active director of Pan American Airways. Last autumn he tried to become...
...Wantage, England. They almost won the Grand National on their first try but Easter Hero, leading a record field of 66, twisted a plate (which now hangs on the door of his stall at Langollen), limped home second. In the U. S., Jock Whitney began to build his string after his marriage to utterly horsy Mary Elizabeth ("Liz") Altemus of Philadelphia two years ago. At "Langollen" (near Upperville, Va.), capital of the Jock Whitneys' horse activities in the U. S., are two of the hardest brush and timber courses in the country. There every year is run the Langollen...
