PLCKWECK TEAM
WINS H0NORS TN
INDOOR LEAGUE

Despite a heavy wind and a dusty
atmosphere the Pickwick Stages
and Court House teams Of the Amer
lean league fought it out for the
championship Of the league at Wens-
ley Field last night with the Pick
wicks returned the victors by II
to - tally.
1t was nip and tuck battle
throughout, first one team taking
the lead only to have the other team
catch up and during the nine in
nngs the contest was tied four
times.
When the Pickwicks took their
turn at the plate in the ninth the
score was 10 all but they battered
in three runs to gain the most i'm
prcssive lead that had been obtain
ed by either side up to that time.
Then the Court House boys took
their turn with the willow. The
first man up flied out but the next
batter was safe and when chip
Tackett connected for three bases
and the next batter singled it look
ed good for the Court House team.
Jim Holcomb was up and he is re-
garded as one of the league $ heaVi-
est hitters. But Jim put a little
too much swing behind the stick. He
took three healthy ones and sat
down. The next batter flied out
and the Pickwicks had emerged on
top.
As n result of their victory the
Pickwick boys will meet the win
ners of the post season series in the
FL Centre league in battle for city
honors. The Telephone company
team is at present favored to crash
through to the laurels in the FL Cen
tro circuit which would bring them
into battle with the Southern Sicr-
las for the league title.

COMES TO DEFENSE
OF CATHOLIC CHURCH
Or. Butte Declares Alleged Play on
Superstition in Porto Rico Fol-
lowing Hurricane Unjustifed.

"A chage that the Catholic Church is
guilty Of wholesale exploitation of the
natives" In Porto Rico is called "un-
fair" and mot justified by any facts"

charges against the Catholic Church in
the course of an address at the Grand
Avenue Congregational Church at a
convention of the women of the Mid

Shortly before the recent hurricane,
Rev. Mr.. Cady is quoted as saying, the
church was losing its hold in Porto
Rico, but after the storm it played upon
the superstitions of the natives to bring
them back to its fold. He also Is cred
ited with saying that the church
taxes on the island are terrific" and
are imposed upon people most of
whom earn only IS cents day; that
the church stood the people I'D in
squads and married them" and that the

CONGRESS- REVERSAL
BY COURT ATTACKED
Brookhart Declares This Power
Should Repose Only in
the People.

The authority of the Supreme Court
in reviewing congressional action was
discussed Wednesday night by Senator
Brookhart Of Iowa In addressing wash
ington alumni Of Phi Beta Gamma
Legal Fraternity, meeting at the Uni
versity Club.
when Chief Justice John Marshall
rendered decision in the famous case
of Marberry VS.. Madison the Supreme
Court for the first time declared an act
Of Congress unconstitutional" the SEN
ator said.
THE case laid the foundation for an
authority which the Supreme Court has
since enlarged. Subsequently, in the
Dred Scott decision" Senator Brook
hart declared, "the Supreme Court held
the Missouri compromise Of 1920 un-
constitutional 1t was necessay to fight
the war between the States to vindicate
Congress and overrule the Supreme
Courts decision"
It was the speakers contention that
the power Of declaring an act of Con-
gress unconstitutional should repose in
the people In accord with the consti-
tutional phrase to the effect that "ali
lust powers Of government are derived
from the consent Of the governed"

}9,S72 IS NEEDED
BY UNION MISSION
Appeals for Christmas Funds
for Charity viii Be
Mailed Tonight.

With an urgent need for $9,872 by
New Year day, the Central Union Mis-
sion, official charity organization of the
Protestant churches of the District, to-
night win put into the mails the first
batch Of its appeals for funds to defray
its annual Christmas expenses and to
complete its regular operating expense
budget, John S. Bennett, superin-
tendent, said today.
The funds which the mission will
| strive to collect are needed, Mr.. Ben
nett said, If the annual Christmas tree
party, which is conducted on the stage
of Keith's Theater with the assistance
of Mrs. Coolidgs herself, is to be the
same happy affair which the city's poor
children have come to look for during
the past years. Although /, 400 "kiddie
bags" have been made for filling with
gifts by individuals and organizations
! throughout the city, the mission must
be prepared to fill at its own expense a
small percentage of the bags which
each year are returned to the mission,
untitled.
Theater Is Promised.
The big Christmas tree. which always
l!As stood at Keith's, brilliantly lighted,
lnCst be supplied by the mission itself
tllis year because the theater is not now
in operation and it was the theater
which furnished that important feature
of the party. In spite of the fact that
Keiths Is not open now, the New York
Office OF the theater company has
promised that the building will be heat
ed and lighted for the party.
In addition to the children'S party,
the mission Is being called upon to pro-
vide larger number of Christmas din
nHs for poor families than ever before.
In order to buy the necessary supplies,
the mission must spend larger sums
than its estimates had called for and
this difference, it is hoped. can be met
by part OF the $9,872 which is need
ed
Then there is the missions family
OF IL little boys and girls who live at
its emergency home. They are the
children of widowed mothers, of
mothers whose health had condemned
them to tuberculosis hospitals, and in
some cases, the children of fathers
who have been sentenced to penal insti-
tutionS for their offenses against So
ciety. Regardless of why they are In
the home. Daddy Bennett and
Mother" Bennett, as the youngsters
call the superintendent and his wife,
are determined that they shall have
their own Christmas party. The $9,872
win help that, too.
Need Aid for Men.
Besides the special Christmas season
charities, the MISSIONS facilities for re-
lief OF temporarily down-and-out men
are handling greater number of men
than heretofore. The additional bur-
den in this work also has upset the
estimated budget and additional funds
are necessary If the efficiency of the
work is to be kept up, Mr.. Bennett
said
While the mailed appeals are being
sent tonight and tomorrow to persons
who have proven themselves friends of
the mission In the past, donations will
be received from any one. They should
be sent to the headquarters of the Cen
tral Union Mission, 612 c street, or to
the Emergency Home for Children, 624

YOUNG L|FE-SAVER
IS AWARDED MEDAL
Norman Bernhardt BIushes
When Speakers Praise Him
for Daring Rescue.

Ten-year-old Norman Bernhardt of
1880 Belmont street was awarded a sill
YER medal by the Treasury Department
this morning for rescuing a drowning
playmate at Colonial Beach last Fourth
of July. He is believed to be the young
est person ever to receive such an
award.
The medal was presented by o. M.
Maxam, chief of the division of opera
tions of the United States Coast Guard,
at exercises in the assembly hall of VIII
son Normal School, where Norman Is a
pupil In the fifth grade.
The youth had been taken to the re-
sort by his parents for the holiday, and,
with group Of other boys, was diving
from boat anchored out In the water
and swimming ashore.
Takes Honors M0dcstly.
After several such trips he and Boyce
Luckett, IL, of 627 Ninth street north
east, dived in together and started for
shore. Norman swan faster than Boyce,
and his feet had just touched bottom
when he heard the other lad calling for
help. Although nearly exhausted him
self, the younger boy turned back and
swan to the assistance OF his COM
panion.
Boyce had gone under twice, and was
In such frenzy Of fear that Norman
was unable to swim ashore with him.
He did, however, manage to keep him
afioat until man came out from shore
and took them both in. Boyce was re-
vived on shore and taken home.
The sturdy, freckle-faced youngster
takes his honors modestiy. Sitting on q
platform in front OF his fellow pupils,
he squirmed and twisted while speakers
extolled his heroism, and he blushed
when his teacher told of his good rec
ord in school. He seemed most en-
barrassed, however, when a little dark
eyed girl who sits next to him came up
to examine the medal and told him
how wonderful she thought he was.
The most Norman would concede was
that the medal was pretty NICE" but
some of the other boys were more out
spoken In their opinions. Gee, he's
lucky" one youngster exclaimed, as the
teachers, as well as the other boys and
girls, crowded around Norman to ex-
anime the large medal.
Sees No Cause for Fuss.
"There isn't anything to make fuss
about" Norman said this morning. Il
heard him calling me and just went
back. That's all there was to It,"
In addition to Mr.. Maxarn, the Coast
Guard was represented by Joseph p
Tanney and d. K. McConville. Robert
j. Mawhinney, solicitor of the Treas
ury Department, also was present. Miss
Anna d. Halberg, principal OF the
school, introduced Norman and the
speakers.
A letter from Seymour Lowman, AS
sistant Secretary of the Treasury. prais-
ing the courage shown by the boy was
read by Mr.. Maxafn.
