Above, baseball and ostriches. Below, the Rev. G.W. Woodbey, an African American minister described in The Times as a rabid radical, is convicted of speaking on a street corner without a license.

Quote of the Day: "One day I got tired of my husband's threats to kill me and said I didn't think much of men anyway, so he made me get on my knees, while he held a loaded gun at my head, and apologize for my poor opinion of his sex." --Evaline Hobach, testifying in divorce court
