SENATORS IRKED
BY"REvELATION"
or KLAN'S LINK
Many Outspoken In
Comment on Black

Widely divergent views on the
alleged revelation that Associate
Justice Hugo L. Black was and
is member Of the Ku Klux Khan
were expressed today by his sena-
torial colleagues. The men who
served with the new justice while
he represented Alabama in the
Senate ranged from one extreme
to another in commenting on the
| situation.
Senators David I. Walsh CDC
Of Massachusetts,, Prentiss M.
Brown CD of Michigan and
Robert Wagner CD of New York
were outspoken in their belief that
member Of an organization such
as the Khan should not serve on
the bench. Said Senator Walsh:
'The President should ask for
his (Black's) resignation If the
justice has not ended any con-
nection with the Khan"
RAPS "BIGOTRY"
Senator Brown declared that he
would not have voted for the con.
firmation if he had believed
Justice Black was a Klansman
and added:
II certainly think a man who
is a member Of such an or.
ganization is too bigoted to serve
on the bench"
Senator Wagner also stated EN-.
phatically:
II would support no man for
public office who Subscribes to
the bigoted views Of an organ
ization like the Ku Klux Khan.
I voted for the confirmation in
the belief that he was not a
member of the Klan. If he were
a member of the Khan and I
knew of it would not have
voted for his confirmation"
COPELAND AROUSED
Senator Royal S. Copeland CD
of New York, who was one of the.
first to take up the cry against
Justice Black following the al.
legged revelation, jumped upon it
as q campaign issue in the New
York mayoralty campaign. He
said his opponent, jeremiah T.
Mahoney, an Irish Catholic who
backs President Roosevelt, has
been "tarred with the stick of the
Ku Klux Klan," and reiterated his
statement that Justice Black
SnOulQ never SlC on the Dench, ana
in all honor and decency should
resign at once"
On the other hand, Senator M.
M. Logan Cd Of Kentucky be.
lieveS the Juror" was raised to at.
tract New York votes. He said:
"While I am quite sure JUS
tice Black is not a member Of
the Ku Klux Khan, what would
we do if he were? I have never
heard Of any justice being re-
quired to resign because Of at.
fihationS with any organization
he may have CHANGED to join."

Never in their lives did the Cor.

rainstorm than they did yesterday
on the South EllipSe diamond.
You see, they were waging a
losing battle with the Heurich

for the first half championship
of Section A of the National City

the rain saved the day for them.
The Brewers were leading, 8 to /,

Costello Nine
Appears as
Champion
BY GARRETT WATERS

The American Legion is at 1t
again.
And, as might be expected at
this time of the year, the piece
de resistance is baseball.
There's a particular incentive
behind it all this year. Champion
teams of various States in the
Union are slated to appear here
in August for sectional elimina-
tionS.
This means, of course, an i'm
portant and elaborate occasion for
the athletic branch of the legion,
not to mention the awe-eyed
youngsters who will play on the
mpion team representing
Washington.
The actual dates Of the "tour-
nament" are August 10 to 81.
Plans are now being made to have
Griffith Stadium the scene for
the games, which plans are prac-
tically assured success because Of
President Clark Griffith'S interest
in boys and the baseball they like
to play.
COstellOs Set Pace
At present eight teams are con-
testing for honors to represent
Washington against the invading
opposition. They are the Vincent
Costello Post, Bunker Hill, Agri-
culture, Drum Corps, Nash, Police,
Fort Stevens and Sergeant Jasper.
The Costello Post nine has set
the pace among this group thus
far. The team is managed by
Charles Kohen and coached by
Milton I. Lewis.
Fifteen boys comprise the roster.
This number, incidentally, is tine
player limit for all Legion teams.
And delving a little into the back
ground of the Legion baseball
movement, there are over 500, 900
youngsters between the ages OF IA
and II taking the field through
out the country under the spon-
Sorship Of the Legion.
The baseball movement is part
of the Legion's Americanism pro-
gram. It started back in 1926
when the American and National
leagues became interested enough
to give the Legion $4,000 to fur
ther all aims and plans. The gen
erous support of the public and
individual legionnaires since has
enabled the project to continue
successfully.
Tense RivalrieS
The games, naturally, bring
forth their tense riValries. Locally,
the by-word is stop the Costel-
los"
But the Kohen-managed team
hopes it will be able to continue
on to the championship. At any
rate it is playing fast baseball
the sort that wins ball games.
"After all, that's what counts"
observes Manager KOhen. "But
then the entire aspect is the
best. The games are interest.
ing, the craftsmanship of the
highest order and the enthusi-
aSm tops Guess that counts,
too"

when they're needed.
Ted Lyons still is as smooth
as silk in his pitching style. The

But the only trouble with that
was that there were some detours
created because Joe's handlers
had reShaped the young man into

and Braddock apparently hadn't
figured on any detours.
Louis handlers had given him
a somewhat changed front. They
had him stepping on his toes,
circling slightly and working his
head slightly to the right or left or
pulling it back, as Braddock'S
blows came shooting in; missing
for the most part.
Meanwhile Louis took seven
