The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-05-26

Roosevelt has considered, and to a belief that the Senate is entitled to more recognition. Everyone seems to be quite sure that the social economic beliefs of the appointee, whoever he is , will guide his judge ment on the bench. No more does one hear 1t seriously asserted that justices interpret the Constitution as a rigid, inflexible formula. That myth perhaps at some time when no one was looking, seems to have fallen out the window.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-05-26
Did He Mean Robinson?

Robinson will be 65 years old in August and it will look like silly business if he is appointed by a President who has called for young blood in the court, and who is still demanding a law whose original purpose was to push justices over 70 off the court.
 The new retirement act for jus
 tices says they not only must be over 70, but must also have Serv-
 ed 10 years before they can retire on $2O,OOO a year, which means That Robinson would hardly be likely to quit until he was 75. A few months ago the President told newspapermen that he had made it rule not to appoint men over 60 to the bench. His friends are saying now that he was thinking about district judgeships, but the fact remains that at the time some of his closest intimates were spreading the word that his re- mark meant that Robinson would never be on the Supreme Court.
 It will also verge on the cock eyed if the liberal Roosevelt, who has called on all liberals to help him liberallize the Supreme Court, now appoints a lifelong politician who has held office since the age of g, and has generally been re- garded as conservative. It's An Old Custom
 Perhaps that would be no more peculiar, however, than the position of the big Senate bloc of Republi- cans and Democrats which has been bowling against political interfer- ence with the judiciary. That bloc is now bowling for appointment of Joe to that sacred bench on the ground that Joe deserves it because he always has loyalty supported the President as Senate majority leader, orating and cracking the whip for measures to which he was personal ly and fundamentally opposed. Everyone agrees that partisan loy- alty has seldom gone to such limits, and yet those supporting Robinson most strongly have been loudest in charging that Roosevelt sought to appoint several of his own rubber stamps to the Supreme Court. Certainly no man has more consistent rubber-stamping record than Joe. The idea seems to be that if Joe is released from bond age and turned into pasture, as he well deserves, he will be free
 to kick up his heels and vote ac- cOrding to his own beliefs.
 The thing you most conspicuous ly don't hear is large demand for the man best qualified for the job. There would be such a demand if 1t were not for senatorial courtesy. Free to Kick Up Heels
 A further ludicrous sdielight on the erstwhile issue of keeping the court out of politics comes if you suggest to any pro-Joe senator that the fact man is a popular partisan politician perhaps shouldn't be the primary reason for making him a justice.
 Then you receive the prompt re- ply that it's an old custom-that Chief Justice Hughes left the bench to run for President and was put back on the bench largely as a reward for powerful aid to Hoover in the 1928 campaign; that Justice Van Devanter was Republican na- tiOnal committeeman from MOn- tana; that Justice Sutherland was lame duck Republican senator appointed to the court by his good friend Harding.
 The fact that Republican and Democratic conservative senators are backing Robinson is also part ly due to a belief that he is more conservative than other persons

Jr. Records Fall
As Americans Try
In National A.A.U.

Milwaukee, Wis, July 2.-(U.R)-
Four junior records fell today as
American track and field athletes
opened their two-day struggle for
National A. A. U. championships
in Marquette stadium.
Marks in the 10000 meters,
broad jump, javelin and 400 me-
terS were shattered, three of them
before the events reached the fl
mails.
Bill Feiler, Stubby blond distance
runner from Drake university,
bettered the first record in the
10000 meters, winning the junior
event handily and placing second
to the senio champion, Elmo Pent-
ii of The Millrose Athletic associa-
ton. New York. Feiler'S time was
33 minutes. 8.4 seconds.
Both junior and senior events
were run simultaneously.
Charley Walker, brother OF
Ohio States high jumper, Mel
Walker. accounted for the second
record in the broad Jump trials
with a leap of "a feet, 10 inches,
Ia inches better than the old rec
ord of John Brooks, Chicago.
William Graham, University OF
Texas star, clipped almost four
feet off the existing javelin record
with a throw Of 217.5 feet and
Paul Sanders, Rice Institute, set
the fourth new mark with a 400
meter heat of 48.4 seconds. His
time was tWo-tenths faster than
the old record.
Pentti'S victory in the senior
10000 meters was expected since
Don Lash of Indiana, last years
champion, was forced out of the
meet by appendicitis.
Feiler was second, Johnny Kel-
ley of Arlington, Mass, was third
and j. Enrol Vaughn of the New
York Athletic club was fourth.

Takes Net Crown at
Wimbledon With
Blazing Shots
BY ROBERT c. DOvSON

Wimbledon, Eng. july 2.-(U.ij
Donald J. Badge, tic California
youngstcr with the blazing hair
and strokes 10 match, turned loose
all his tennis guns to-day TO W n
the all-England s.uElcS Chalfr.
ionship with q crushing 6-3. Cd,
6-2 victory over Baron Gotvfried
Won Cramm Of Germany.
Budge's victory, which brought
the Wimbledon title to America
for the first time since EilsW orth
Vines triumphed N 1882, climax
ed two weeks of brilliant play by
the Californian. Faced by the fin
est players cf the game in the
world, he lost but one set during
the fortnight, and that to his
Davis Cup tcammate, frankie
Parker, in the semi-final round.
Bulge required only an hour
and five minutes to humble Won
Cramm and eStabl .;h himself as
No. amateur in the world. In the
dressing room after the match
Bulge, wearing a emile the size
Of a slice of watermelon. said he
just couldn't believe he was VIM
bledon champion.
Il almost had TO pinch myself
when I reached match point" he
said. II was mighty lucky TO play
the best tennis in my life just
when I wanted to-"
Won Cramm, who was regarded
as the rank ng amteur until his
defeat today, was high in his
paise for the gangling and freck-
led Californian.
Il played as well as I know
how" he said, "but I was helpless.
I do not believe that any man who
ever walked on the courts of
Wimbledon could have taken
Don's measure today. He was
superb"
Budge's day was full one. I'M
mediately after winning the title
he was escorted to the royal box
and presented to Queen Mary,
who talked with him and shook
his hand. Later he took the courts
once more, this time with his Da-
Wis Cup partner and fellow Cali
fornian, Gene Mako, and gained
the final round of the mems doub-
les with a 4-6, 4-6, 6-2, GA, 8-3
victory over Won Cramm and
Henner Henkel. Bulge and Mako
will engage the English Davis
Cup team of Pat Hughes and c.
r. D. Tucky in the championship
round tomorrow.
Bulge whipped Won Cramm be-
cause he had all the shots Of a
champion and all those shots
were under complete control. His
forehand was a bullet for sped,
and no marksman ever drew a
truer sight on the bullseye than
the Californian did on the lines
today. 1t was from the portside
that he drove home the winning
point-a deep cross court drive
that smoked over the net and bit
deep into the turf. His volleys and
overheads were severe.
Won Cramm looked the winner
only in the first two games of the
match when, empoying a sparkl-
ing net attack, he bewildered
Bulge with his speed. But the
American settled down quickly
and took the third with lashing
forehands. He was wild in the
fourth and lost it by over driving

|TeXaco Beach To
Shoot Local Team
Into Many Parts
Excited Over First League
Engagement; Want to
Have Good Start
By JOHN MARSHALL


Shilor, July 2.-TeXaco Beach,
popular Camden County summer
resort is preparing for the larg-
est holiday crowd ever in the
history of the resort. The entire
place is buzzing with excitement
as the preparation IS being made
for the entertainment of holiday
throng5. The progressive and like
able Cutrell brothers were leav-
ing no stone unturned to make
this year the best and to assure
the patrons a lively time. The
grounds are in spotless shape, the
bathing conditions excellent and
the picnic grounds were being
cleaned up and put in shape.
F. reworks have been arranged to
climax the celebration Monday
night at 10 p. m.
Jays Meet Pirates
The activity that is apparently
creating the most excitement is
the fourth tussle of the season
between the Jays, Elizabeth City S
crack semipro team and the Pi-
rates. The fact that Sundays
game VIII mark the opening of
the second half of the Semi-Pro
league and the first appearance of
the two clubs in the league is al
so lending a hand to make the
excitement run even higher than
usual. Then too, the Pirates have
a score to even with the high rid
ing Jays who have twice defeat
ed them this year. If the Pirates
can capture Sundays game it will
even the count and give them an
excellent start in the league.
Pirates To Stand Pat
The Pirates will use their re-
gular lineup in Sundays game
unless they change their minds at
the last minute in an effort to
boost the team. Floyl Whaley, at
first base; Curtis OWnley at Sec
ond; Earnest AskeW at short, Hal
lett Owens on third and H. F..
Forbes will complete the infield
for the league tussle.
In the pastures John Joseph
Walston, wide ranging outfelder,
Roy Brocket clever hitting right
fielder and Bernice Forbes, tenn
permental outfielder will be on
duty.
Freddie Edmonds, star hurler
of the jays last season and this
season holding one victory against
one loss over his former mates
will take the mound in an effort
to put the Pirates in the win COL
umn. In the opening game of the
series the former Norfolk Divis-
ion of Villa rland Mary hurler
set the Jays down in a sensation
al manner. However in the sec
ond game his former mates hop
ped on his delivery and drove him
from the box. Edmonds is gun
ming for the Jays this week end
and it looks like pitchers duel
with Murden, former V. P. I film
ger and now mainstay of the Jays
pitching staff.
On Monday afternoon the Pi-
rates will lock horns with the
hard hitting Nirfolk Police nine.
This game will not be a league
game.
