FIRST VIRGINIA LYNCH
LAW DECISION GIVEN

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RICHMOND, Va, January l5.-Ine
first opinion ever handed down by the
State Supreme Court involving the IA
nous lynch law of Virginia has just
been given, the appellate body affirming
the decision of the Circuit Court OF
Mecklenburg County, which sentenced
John L. Hapgood to four years IN the
penitentiary for being one OF a mon
that assaulted Milburn T. Neal last
year.
The question at issue before the SUI
preme Court was whether the indict-
ment under which Hapgood was con-
victed fell within the scope Of the Viz
ginia lynch law. Counsel for the &C
cuSed had contended that the assault
and battery, as charged, was under the
common law. But Assistant Attorney
General Collins Denny, jr., representing
the commonwealth. held that indict-
ment followed word for word the sec
ton of the code which defined an Of
Tense under the lynch law.
Hapgood must serve his term Of four
years for a violation Of Virginia's lynch
law

drawn in every legislative body in our
land, as well as in many Statewide
elections for executive officers. The
prohibition issue has not been so clear
in the last eight years as formerly, or
as clear-cut as it will be from now on.
The tests in Congress have mostly been
on matters having to do with enforce
ment rather than prohibition itself.
Even a majority Of one or two in both
Houses of Congress does not mean alb
solute security.

losing drys in % of the 48 States. In

NEW YORK. Sept. 8-Afairs in
L the National League have
taken most ominous turn,
This will never do. The Chicagos
must win the pennant. They must
win it first of all, for those thou
sands who went out on a limb on
them the minute they rolled up "a
whopper lead. They must win in
order to preserve the magnificent
angles" the Chicago sports writer's
and others have thought up for a
Cubs-Yankee series. 1t would never
do for the writer's to have to throw
overheard all those stories dealing
with Joe McCarthy's grudge against
the team that fired him, the titanic
battle between the two largest cities
of the nation.
But most of all, the Chicagos must
win for Charley Grimm. Through
no fault of his own, Charley has
been hailed as the wonder man,
The Indianapolis times., 1932-09-08

and the most inspirational leader
of the age" He has been painted as
man with all the virtues and none
Of the faults.
He has become the idol of the
masses, the hero of the little dirty
faced boys in the street.
If the Cubs lose, what will hap
pen? The kids will be convinced
that Grimm, after all, was just an
other manager, and that sweetness
and light and musical ability aren't
half as important to winning club
as a couple of clouting outfelders,
tight defense and two or three
twentyg game pitchers.
Il
THEN, too, think about William
II Veeck, head man Of the Chi
Cages. He stands a swell chance of
losing face, as we say on Bubbling
Well road. For Veeck fired Rogers
Hornsby because Hornsby expressed
the opinion that the Chicagos were
not championship team. Veeck
said they we're, kicked Hornsby

trying road trip. Moreover, they're
due for a slump. A couple of the
boys-Koenig and Cuyler to be
specif1c-have been playing over
their heads. The series with the
Dodgers will make or break the Cubs
And they're going to have to play
baseball to keep it from breaking
them, for those Dodgers, with the
memory Of what happened to them
in Chicago fresh in their minds, are
going to be tough-powerful tough!

that Lon Warneke, the National
Leagues leading pitcher, had re-

sponded to treatment by Trainer
Andy Lotshaw and he will attempt
to win his twenty-first game of the
season Friday, Grimm said.

2-year-old PAGERS.
Although setting the record in the
first heat, His Majesty lost first
money when beaten in the second
and third miles by Logan Scott, the
Kansas City colt driven by Walter
Freitenfield. The record breaker
easily won the first heat, but Scott
came back in the next with a great

by a harness horse this year. The
performance was turned in by

The Hanover star also turned in
the fastest three heats of the year

three of the miles handily. Myrtle

heat, with Hodson keeping Zombro

easy time winning the second and
third miles.
Senator Hodge was another easy
winner in the 2-year- old trot for
Indiana runners. Sep Palm held
the Senator star in check in each
of the two heats until near the
finish and won handily.
Doc ParShall scored a double in
the two night events, racing Peter
Brooke to straight heat triumph

with Guy Duffy to take the last
two heats and first money in the
2:14-2:17 trot.
