Lou Gehrig, a 17-year old player for the New York School of Commerce high school team, got his first publicity for his baseball ability in the "World Series of High Schools" tournament held at Cubs Park in Chicago.[90] In front of 10,000 spectators, Gehrig hit a grand slam home run over the right field wall in the ninth inning for a 12 to 6 win over Chicago's Lane Tech High School. Several newspapers, including the New York Daily News, misspelled the future Hall of Famer's name in their reports.[91][92][93]
Bertram G. Goodhue was selected as the architect for the new Nebraska State Capitol, as a panel of three non-resident architects favored his 15-story tall proposal over nine other plans that were submitted. One newspaper referred to Goodhue's design as a "freak type of tower" and a "Woolworth building capitol" favored by a group of outsiders that "was evidently partial to the New York skyscraper style of architecture," and complained that "The capitol commission had previously tied its own hands to such an extent that it was forced to take the 'jury's' selection and could not use its own judgment, if it had so desired, in giving the preference to something more suited to Nebraska's conditions and western ideals."[97]
