COURT PLAN VOTE

Administration Leaders Dis.
pleased Over Agreement
to Delay Decision.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Administration leaders endeavored
today to speed a Senate Judiciary
Committee vote on the Roosevelt court
bill despite the prospect of an un-
favorable outcome.
Roosevelt chieftains, claiming suffi-
cient votes in the Senate to pass the
bill, even in the face Of an adverse
committee report expressed displeas-
ure at the agreement to delay the
committee decision until May ID.
Date May Be Advanced.
Some opposition leaders also ex-
pressed willingness to advance the
date in view of the present l0-to-8
committee lineup against the bill.
Chairman Ashurst said, however, he
would oppose any change in the vot-
ing. Senator King, Democrat, Of
Utah, a foe of the court measure,
limited at an effort to keep it from
reaching the Senate even with an ad-
verse recommendation.
Opponents, particularly Democratic
ones, have predicted an offer of COM
promise from the administration or a
withdrawal of the bill, in view of the
unfavorable committee lineup. But
there was no sign of either. on the
surface, in the administration camp.
Prospects Declared Unchanged.
Ashurst and other friends of the
bill insisted the adverse announce
ments by three committee members
earlier this week had not changed the
bills prospects in the Senate.
One administration Senator said the
bill would get today the votes of at
least so of the 95 Senator'S

Taste Defeat

One local college basketball
team scored a triumph and two
met defeat in floor games played
last night.
Maryland was the winner, de-
feating North Carolina State, Al
IS. Catholic University and Amer
ican University went down in de-
feat, the Cardinals before the st.
Thomas quint, 1882, and Ameri-
can before Johns Hopkins, 48-47.
1t might just as well have been
three victories, and had the breaks
of the games favored C. U. and
American, it would have turned
out that way. With only 80 seconds
left to play, two successive field
goals by the visiting st. Thomas
team gave the Scrantonites win.
AS for the other contest, goal
that would have won for American
was on it's way to the hoop when
the final whistle blew. The goal
ball went through the hoop, but
it didn't count.
Maryland, in scoring over N. C.
State, staged a remarkable last
half rally. The Terps now have
a fighting chance in the Southern

) Tropical Park is owned by
Senor Herrera, the Colonel Rup-
pert of Havana. He caters to the
populace's thirst for both sports
and lager beer. Once, the good
senior was introduced to Colonel
Rupert at Yankee Stadium and,
after looking over the ball field,
said:
Colonel, you have a nice ball
park here but the field is too
small. Why do you not have a
full sized playing field like have
in Havana?"
"Well, I'll tell yOu," replied
the colonel. "YOu run your ball
park to advertise your brewery
and its product. / advertise my
beer in the newspapers and run
my ball club as a mOney-making
proposition. If my ball park was
as big as yours, there would be
no home runs and if there were
no home runs there would be no
money for Colonel Rupert. So
you see, my cute, Cuban COM
patriot, why 1 don't want any
part of your ball park and will
stick to my own"
Senor Herrera had the same idea
in mind when he laid out his ball
park as did the French architect
who planned the city Of Washing
ton. Magnificent vistas were whaf
he strove for and magnificent
The Washington times., 1937-02-25

vistas are what he has succeeded
in providing for the "beisboleros,"
as baseball fans are called down
in this neck of the Caribbean. No
one has ever knocked ball over
the fence in Senor Herrera's ball
park even after a third helping
of his potent brew. Bill Terry
once sent one over the boundary
on the first bounce and, for that,
they were thinking of declaring a
national holiday in his honor. The
kind senior has a standing offer to
pay $1,000 to anyone who drives
a bali over the fence into his hop
foundry, and it's as if he had
offered to swap his prize money
for $4,000.

Max Baer Likely
e..
ToGet License
BY DAVIS ]. WALSH

International News Service Sports Editor
NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-After a
series of antics that would have
been quite droll, if they hadn't
been so innately dispiriting, it
seemed probable this morning that
Max Baer, who has nothing to rec
ommend him except maybe the
fact that he once held the heavy
weight championship, will be given
a license in this State to box Bob
Pastor at Madison Square Garden
on March 10.
The last time Baer was in this
State, he drew a million dollars
at the gate with Joe Louis. Yes
terday, he couldn't get a license
from the boxing commission.
The point now is that they'll
give him a license, provided they
can find the man and make him
understand that they've forgiven
him for everything he hasn't done.
The last seen of him, he had
coldly walked out on the commits
sion and was making telephone
arrangements to sail on the Beren-
garia next Wednesday.
Commissioner Brown had just
called him a "bum and a double
bum" and Commissioner Phelan
seemed intent upon exacting a
sort of canine acquiescence of the
sit-up-and-ask variety.
Baer had just been pronounced
physically fit by five doctors, no
less, acting for the commission.

tropical garden which rises about
so feet from the level of the
diamond to the level of the street.
Thickly massed palm trees and
other lush tropical vegetation
form the background behind left
field. These are in Senor Her
rera's private tropical garden, one
of the show places of Havana.
It is a bit difficult to accustom
oneself to the ever-present mill
tary. To the uninitiated outsider
it seems that almost every male
in Havana is either soldier or
a policeman. At every street cor
ner you see knots of idling soldiers
enjoying a vertical siesta by lean
ing on their guns. Whole COM
panies of them were drilling on
one of the main arteries OF travel
as we were whisked out to the
ball park.
Before one is whisked, though,
there is a bargaining ritual to be
gone through with the taxi driver
that is reminiscent of the pro-
cedure followed in those pull-'em-
in clothing stores on Hester Street.
The driver starts off by telling you
he normally gets So for the ride

than the worst of our Sunday crop.

who last year won the national

confidently it is expected that
