...Frank X. Shields of New York, 20, 6 ft., the most youthful contestants ever to play in the U. S. title singles finals. Lanky Shields was by far the more polished performer, his backhand often acing Doeg's serve, which had little threat for him, down the sidelines. But Doeg, nerveless at all times, continued to chop and drive, scoring well with his net and ground shots. The fourth set was the longest ever played in the final of a U. S. singles title match. Doeg won 16-14, bringing California her first singles championship since 1919 when small...
Booth Tarkington has never been a socially weighty writer, but his early books had a kind of restless threat in them.

At Cruces, Santa Clara Province, horn-spectacled President Gerardo Machado neatly nipped another revolution in the bud by arresting 20 members of the Nationalist (anti-Machado) party, disclosed a plot to raid the Cruces army post, seize the arsenal stored there...
...this threat Impresario White made clarion answer. He declared that this year's Maverick would be "the most stupendous spectacle ever seen in America." According to tradition it will be held at full moon in a long mountain meadow. It is strictly in costume, the more outlandish and inane the better. Lunches are packed, fires are kindled, and as the afternoon's spectacle progresses, sitters (thousands come, anyone who has the price of admission) munch and watch. The colonists sell their batiks, paintings, arty gadgets. Newsboys hawk a special edition of the bulletin. Late in the afternoon a costume promenade...
