Braman Gibbs is a veteran centerfielder and .300 hitter. Flanking him in left stands Ben Prouty, a left handed swinger who hits through third base, a natural second man in any batting order. But in right field there is a void. Jim Sullivan can field the position but can't hit. George Tittmann is erratic and further than that his services are needed with the pitching corps. At present that corps consists mainly of Ingalls; for Southpaw Dick Walsh has failed to live up to expectations, Tittmann is wild, Bilodeau is sequestered at short, and the hard working John Campana...
...versified lines with conviction. Stanley Ridges is a particularly happy choice for the character of hard bitten Lucifer Tench. No less happy is the casting of Margalo Gillmore as the full-blown, romantic Mary Philipse. As Washington, Philip Merivale is close to perfect. Mr. Merivale is the greatest cloak-swinger on the U. S. stage. He swung one in The Road to Rome (1927-28). He swung another in Death Takes a Holiday (1930-31). He swung a third in Mary of Scotland (1934). His melancholy face with its skin stretched across the cheekbones like rawhide on a saddle frame...
...sent the undergraduates into an uproar. There have been few more boisterous hours in Harvard's history than those between noon and 3 o'clock of November 14, 1902, when Carrie National made a whirlwind campaign to woe the student body from rum and nicotine. The Kansas hatchet-swinger, who personally broke enough whiskey bottles to arouse envy in the heart of the most rabid modern prohibition agent, stepped off the electric car that carried her from Boston to Cambridge and went straight to those claustral walls, where a thousand students were eating their midday meal. She had heard that...
Manager v. Swinger. California has had no Democratic Senator since James Duval Phelan's term expired in 1921. On the Aug. 30 primary ballot are six names: Parson M. Abbott, Maurice James McCarthy, Annie Riley Hale, Robert Pierce Shuler, Justus S. Wardell, William Gibbs McAdoo. Abbott and McCarthy are irreconcilable supporters of Alfred Emanuel Smith who still think this is 1928. The candidacy of Mrs. Hale (Colyumist Heywood Broun's mother-in-law) is not taken seriously. ''Bob" Shuler, a radio revivalist, is a political maverick who is also running in the Republican primary. The real race appeared...
...were meeting last week for the light heavyweight championship. The Commission stipulated, however, that whoever won could be sure of being champion for only 60 days, since within that time he must fight Maxie Rosenbloom, rated as the best light heavyweight of all. For eight rounds stubby Scozza, a swinger, plunged after dancing Slattery, received a hearty cuffing. In the next four rounds Slattery got tired. In the 13th, a wild spray of punches suddenly erupted from Scozza. He dazed Slattery, knocked him against the ropes, was about to knock him out when the bell rang. Glassy-eyed but courageous...
