The playing of Brownsville was
too fast for the Hsrlingen Cardinals
yesterday afternoon, the Eagles tax
ing a firmer hold in the county bas-
ketball race. by a Is to Z win over
Coach Denton's crew.
The teams. fighting to stay in the
Cameron county hoop race, played a
poor offensive game in the first half,
neither side being able to ring up
baskets with any regularity. although
many opportunities presented them
selves.
Harlingen led the Eagles, 4 to 3, as
the first half ended. and the score
represented that much superiority of
the Cardinals over the locals, as the
first half play ended.
Turning about face. the Eagles. led
BY Daniel Barnhart, began about the
fastest demonstration OF court work
seen on the local field this season.
and gradually went ahead of the
Cards. and were never stopped after
a couple Of points margin over the
visitors.
Murray was high point scorer for
Harlingen, with five markers, while
Barnhart. of the Eagles. was high
scorer for the locals, ringing up s
points. Murray and Barnhart are
centers on their respective teams,
and both proved stars of the contest.
Weller did fine work for the
Eagles. rs did Newman, Sylvester and
O'Bryan. the starting lineup.
The game started off slowly. but
ss the first half neared its end, the
players became warmed up. and "A
q result. before the game was over.
of the fastest court ame of
the season was in progress.
Brownsville made seven personal
fouls. Newman leading with three.
Harrington made II fouls, and And
erson made the limit. four. and left
the game, while Murray made three.
Bakes, of La Feria. made his first
appearance before a local audience,
as a referee. and his work was com
mendable, although he was very
strict during the first half. and his
whistle sounded a continuous tune
In the second half the referee. who
knows his business. realized the
court was different from an indoor
field, and his work received the ar.
plause Of the spectators.

 trary to Constitution

Richmond. Va. June 5 N-Judge Lawrence D. Groner. in United States district court here today held the Virginia primary law contrary to the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the federal consti- tuition.
 Judge Groner's opinion. in the case of James o. West. Negro demo- crat. against A. c. Bliley and Will Ham Blotz, judges. and William Kicker, clerk of q Richmond voting precinct, declared that the state may not provide otherwise than for equal right of suffrage. as well in the primary, as in the general cleo tion.
 This the statute does" he said. and if this was all there would be no ground for complaint but 1t goes further and recognises and enforces the right of . political party to pre- scribe qualifications forbidden un- der the fifteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States. This . state may not do."
 Judge Groner's opinion went into detail a to the constitutionality Of the law. which has been construed a barring Negro voters.
 In hts action West claimed nom- inal damages because precinct ofti- ciah refused to permit him to vote in the last democratic primary.
 To ths plea the state. through Leon V. Basile. assistant attorney general, filed . demurrer. The de- murrer was 0ver-ruled today by Judge Groner.
