Mcnamara.
Gallagher
Part
By KIRK MILLER

The upshot of the
George King Jim Nc
Namara alteration of
Tuesday, now annie
ably settled between
them, is going to be
costly to an innocent
party.
Marty Gallagher is
going to have to look
around Immediately
for a new trainer, and
this is more serious
than I will possibly be
able to convince you in
cold type.
Mcnamara, crushed by the
aftermath of his setto with
King, is going to Immediately
give up all contact with the
boxing world, to devote his ex-
elusive time to the Jewish
Community Center.
To SerUe One Master
He is going to hew solely to his
established calling of physical d.
rector of one of the most popular
athletic centerS in Washington,
where many Of the city's leading
citizens patronize the athletic IA
cilities and send their young sons
for physical training.
"YOu can't give your best at
tentiOn to two duties" McNa-
mara has informed Gallagher,
land while I've enjoyed hand
ling your ring affairs, I've got to
. drop my fight interests and take
care Of the job that has meant
the most to me and should con-
tinue to do So"
So Gallagher is the greatest suf-
ferer from a momentary uprising
in local fight circles for which
both principals are today heartily
regretful.
AS manager and trainer Of
Marty Gallagher, Jim Mcnamara
has enjoyed more succesS-and
some heartaches-than any of the
half dozen men who have handled
Marty previous to the connection
he made with Jim.
His Best Efforts
Mcnamara has the reputation
Of understanding Gallagher's true
nature more fully than any of
Martyrs previous pilots. He has
put fight into the Foggy Bottom
1rishman where others have
failed and really brought Gala
CHER along to his best efforts.
1t will not be easy to find
Jimmy's successor in the Gala
CHER professional household. Tom
O'Donnell, Martyrs manager of
record, makes no claim to intimacy
with the task of handling q
fighter, having left all Of that de-
tail to Mcnamara during his two
months association with the local
heavyweight.
O'Donnell and Gallagher will
have to face the job of finding
someone to step into the picture,
and this someone will be taking
quite a job on his hands.

HOPKINS ASKED
TO VISIT Laurel.
RELIEF ADMINISTRATOR URGED
TO RETURN TO CITY WHERE
HE PLAYED BASEBALL

To Harry L. Hopkins. federal relief
administrator at Washington, q letter
Of invitation to visit Laurel-scene Of
Hopkins baseball playing more than
Is years ago-was carried by DR.. ID. H.
F., McCauley, personal messenger for
Mayor Roscoe Broughton. into Hop
kinS hand the messenger delivered the
mayors request.
It was May 4, 1910, that the Laurel
Outlook described a baseball game in
which the name of Ipfielder Harry L.
Hopkins, crack shortstop from Ever
EFT, Wash, was first mentioned That
was in the days when Laurel took it's
baseball seriously, as any old-timer win
testify. Some stellar games were played
with the best teams In Montana, In
GLIDING those from Butte and Living
StOn. And in most of those encounters,
Laurel won. To land a berth On Ahe

The opening game in 1910 was with
Fromberg. Some of the players were
DR.. A. E. Strip, Bob Titus. Pat Moran,
kins, now a resident Of Billings, was
manager. The score for the first game
was 8 TO 2 for Laurel. The second
game Of the season was II TO 3, also
for Laurel.
Buffalo, Wyo., tried its luck and was
defeated 4 10 8. Columbus was aIaHgh-
tered IA to 1.
The Outl0okis ffges reveal that afteT
one Of the games q ceIebrm&zOn was
staged at the Strip herHe, a&tgEzsaed
by Manager Hawkins and the team.
The edition Of june 8 tewSefy stated
that Hopkins was succeeded hy Peter

DISPUTES INVOLVE
LOBBY COMMITTEE

Injunction.

BY the Associated Press.
Bitter dispute continued to swirl
about the Senate Lobby Committees
activities today as counsel made ready
to combat In the courts the legal
action Of william Randolph Hearst,
publisher.
Hearst seeks an Injunction to pre-
vent the committee from making use
Of kilograms sent by himself or his
employees or from obtaining any
further access to such messages.
In the center of the controversy
were Senator Minton, Democrat, Of
Indiana, committee member, and Dud-
ley Field Malone, lawyer. Back and
forth between the two went chal-
lenges and accusations.
Minton, who previously had as
sailed the publisher from the Senate
floor. yesterday renewed his outburst
after reading an editorial in the

Hearst papers regarding the commit
tee inquiry. The editorial pictured
administration chiefs a leading .
subservient Congress into Dictator
ship.
Minton declared that to Hearst,
freedom Of the press meant license"
to traduce and villify public ofilcers
as swine and traitors to their country.
Minton declared I'VE are o better
breed of swine than Hearst and the
pusillanimous pen-pusher, the writer
Of this editorial"

Minton also made public reply
he made to Malone, challenging the
lawyers right to lecture him" on his
duties a. q Senator. Malone had
wired the committee, protesting the
seizure Of confidential kilograms.
The Senator declared that when
we reach the point in this country
where there Is nobody left but you and
william Randolph Hearst to defend
our liberties, we had better give the
country back to the Indians"

He declared 1t would be better for

As the dispute went on, 1t was made
