Yesterday afternoon A. L. Smith '25 won his way to the finals by defeating J. H. Finley '25, three games to one. The match was very close all the time, the scores of it being 15- 11, 6- 15, 15 -9, and 16 14. Smith's steadiness and his swift serve were largely responsible for his victory. Although Finley played brilliant squash at times, he was slower than Smith, and not as accurate. The result of this match was not unforeseen, as Smith was seeded number five, and Finley number seven...
Satire thrives on censorship. The Spanish Directorate, whose malefactions unleased the thunder of Blasco lbanex, has now awakened the more subtle spirit of Dean Swift. Gulliver in this case is Bagaria, the famous cartoon'st of El So, a Madrid daily, and the scene of his remarkable travels is neither Brobdingnag nor the Houyhnhnms--but the more pertinent Mars. Daily letters describing in detail the condition of Martian life and Martian morals have been published in El Sol. Baraglas inferences of Mars correspond suspiciously with the present state of Spanish affairs. "Ninety percent of the Martians are soldiers...

...courage go out of a horse, the fire die in him that made him swift, so that though he runs against equals in a valiant race and every flag is lifted for his triumph, his heart fails him in the hazard of his task, he falters and cannot win. It was a sad thing that happened, last week, at Laurel, Md. There Epinard was running ; the race, the Laurel Stakes; the distance, one mile; the prize, $10,000. He was a favorite among favorites, "for," said the lean men who ride horses, the fat men who bet on them...
Fifth Game. Still in Manhattan, "Good Old Walter" Johnson sought a second time to pitch a winning World's Series game. But Giant batsmen found his swift throws rare sport to bat about. They crashed 13 of them safely, circulated freely on the bases. Freddy Lindstrom, 18-year-old Giant third baseman, gained loud applause by making four hits and numerous fielding demonstrations. Jack Bentley, Giant pitcher, propelled the ball as well from the plate as toward it, getting a home run with two men on base. Score: New York 6, Washington...
