What the English bookies think
of several of the entries in tomor-
rows Grand National at Aintree:
Best American chances: Robert
Lehman's Didoric and j. B. SHOWS
Delachance, the former at 100 to
7, the latter at 100 to 6. Didoric,
bred in France, looked well at
Hurst Park, March 8. In heavy
going, he led a field of seven, in
cluding Mrs. F. Ambrose Clark'S
Flying Minutes, a son of the 1925
Kentucky Derby winner, Flying
Ebony. Delachance turned in sew
eral good races including victory
in the two and half mile chase
at Kempton Park, February 27.
He is jumping better than he did
last year.
What Have You: The American
bred proved a good jumper in a
three-mile chase recently, but
failed diSmally on a heavy track
later.
Pointed For Race
This son Of Tryster may have
been "short" until now, due to the
fact that his rider-trainer, William
B. BILLY" STREET., the American,
has had only one thought in mind
since bringing What Have You
over to England and that is the
Grand National. Appears to lack
speed.
Golden Miller: Stands out, as
he is a proved chaser and holds
the record, 9:20 for the Grand Ma
tional. In fine condition.
Royal Mail: Was first choice
until recently, when he was de
feated in two races. Must be
rated a contender.
Ego: Looks like a real threat
Has the ability to win.
Sugar Loaf: Has captured the
public fancy. owned by a woman

flashes rare ability as a fence1
and at other times, fine speed on
the flat, but seems unable to couple
the two. If this one couples his

but if he is only being

The big fellow is a natural 1of

His every gesture, pose and

the butt of most of the side line

The man has "it" as they say
Of the goods over at George Wash

cal masculine "it" from which the
average eye cannot stray.
"Shanty" Hogan disproves the
old idiom that nobody loves a
fat man. And in the face of his
ponderous being, he has enough
outright ball playing momentum to
just about make him the drawing
ace around whom keen interest
is bound to center until the club
as whole can establish the fact it
intends to take up where it left
off last September and give those
top-ranking contenders battle for
their places in the sun.

Playing With Fire

THE extremely hazardous conditions prevailing at

excuse for overcoming the valid and substantial argu

by delaying until the last minute of the session leglsa

Senator Blacks Critics
Mix Principle and Opinion
Keeping Issue Clear.

N0SPAuS @SSuS SASoAs
IT seems to me that a good
many intelligent people are
confusing principle with per-
sonal viewpoint on the ques-
ton of the appointment Of
Senator Black to the Supreme
Court.
Many citizens, among them
this columnist, objected strong.
ly and vehemently to Mr..
Roosevelt's plan to pack" the
Supreme Court with six JUS
tees.
Their objectionS-or at least
my objections-were based
upon the belief that a wrong
principle was involved; that
inherently and fundamentally
it was both wrong and dan
gerous to try to fix the umpires
Just because one man in the
Nation didn't like the decis-
ions called by the regular UNI
pires.
Now since the President APP
pointed Senator Black, many
of those who objected to the
principles involved in the court
packing plan, also objected to
Blacks appointment.
Let us have scholarly man;
an intelligent man with a great
legal mind" they cry, in between
breaths denouncing the Presi-
dent for pulling a "snide" trick
and insulting the country"
A THOUGH I objected to
"A packing the Supreme Court,
I cannot go along with critics Of
Blacks appointment.
First, I believe they are mix
ing principle with personal view
point. Second, I don't believe
the President has "insulted" the
country by appointing Senator
Black. What those who so al
lege mean is that the President
insulted the conservatives of the
country.
That may be true, but if their
argument holds good, then the
liberals might lay equal claim to
the same contention when
Hoover appointed Owen j.
Roberts, or when Messrs. Suther-
land, Butler, Van Devanter and
McReynolds were appointed.
NOV they say that Blacks
~ record doesn't qualify him
for the Supreme Court. They
point, for illustration, to his al.
legged association with the Ku
Klux Khan when he first ran
for Senatorship. The Khan,
they say, stood for persecution
of minorities and a forerunner
of the principles Of FaSciSm.
Therefore any man who will
truckle with such an outfit can
not possibly be a fit man for
the highest bench in the land.
To begin with, Blacks as
ISOLATION with the Khan has
never been proved, only sus-
pected. Admittedly, the grounds
for suspicion are pretty strong.
But as a matter of principle,
what is the difference between
Blacks association with the
Khan and, We'll say, Justice But
ler's association with the rail-
roads as a once great corpora
ton and railroad counsel?.
IF Black induced the Federal
l. Communications Commission
to wink at the law in its tele-
gram seizure in the lobby in
vestigation, then justices now
on the bench who were once
great corporation lawyers are
vulnerable on the same principle
that they, as legal advisers to
great corporate enterprises,
showed them how to evade the
laws.
I do not argue that I like
Senator Blacks PHILOSOPHERS or
his investigation record of I'M
biased nonpartisanship and
temperatures, and like my fell
low critics, I wish Mr.. Roose-
welt could have chosen some
one else for the job.
