Senator Robert H. Reynolds. In

Carolina, suggests this week that
his readers consider the oath Of
the members of the Supreme
Court, which is:

I will administer justice with
out respect to persons, and do
equal right to the poor and the
rich; and that / will faithfully
discharge all the duties incurn-
bent on me as Judge, according
to the best Of my abilities and
understanding, agre sably to the
Constitution and the laws Of
the United States"
He calls particular attention

The speech that followed, how
ever, belied the suggestion Of the

with evidences Of study and we'll

But Mr.. Kloeb's address was not
to go unchallenged, and throwing
such high-sounding phrases to the
winds, Representative Charles A.
Eaton, Of New Jersey, began his
talk from the Republican side Of
the floor by saying:

TODAY'S-
Sports Parade
BY HENRY McLEMORE

| frightened those snakes back tc
Ireland.
Allow me to describe the race
and see if it makes you stand on
tiptoe and chew your nails to
shreds. At the sound of the gun
the four earnest young men start
ed running around the track.
Their goal was to make eleven laps
first. They had not gone 20 yards
before they were strung out In
dian fashion like this: San Ro-
mani Beccali Cunningham =
Venzke.
After nine laps they had shut
fled this alignmest SO violently
that the order was like this: San
Romani = Beccali = Cunningham
Venzke.
By studying the two line-ups
you can see for yourself that the
duels for positions, the struggle
for places, must have been vicious
indeed.
1t was not until the tenth lap
that something happened. and
then nothing more than the pass
ing of Beccali by Cunningham,
And that's not inspiring, no mat
ter how you slice it. Now the elev-
enth lap was all right. San Romani,
wishing perhaps, that he had saw
ed some of that wind he has
been blowing into cornet in an
effort to hit that note in Oar
danella." tried to pull away from
the field Beccali and Venzke could
do nothing to prevent him doing
SO. But Cunningham could. AS
they hit the far turn, with the
tape less than lap away, Glenn
went on top. He stayed there.
I still will insist that my idea
of running distance races is the
best. Let the boys do the first
nine or ten laps in the solitude
OF the basement, and then trot
into view for the finish. 1t would
prove terrific suspense, that sit
ting there and wondering whose
torso would be first to come out
of the chute.
If they never came out, SO much
the better.

NEW YORK, March Is. UP
I saw four men go to the last mile
last night. but it was in Madison
Suare Garden and not Sing Sing.
AT least. it was my last mile.
1t was won by Glenn Cunningham,
which is about as newsy as an
announcement that Germany has
protested another speech by La
Guardia. If Glenn'S accepted all
the miles he has won he must
have enough OF them to stage a
private Indianapolis 500 right
in his own backyard.
The mile he won last night was
the Columbia mile, and if Colum-
bus himself had sailed down off
the mezzanine in the Pinta or the
Santa Maria to present the trophy,
there couldn't have been more ex-
element Why, I don't know. To
me the race was no more excit-
ing than the fight of the four
merry-go-round horses, wearing
shorts, and I've seen Cunningham
in such attire longer than I care
to remember.
Cunningham was accompanied
on his jog by that amateur cor
netist, Archie San Romani; Gene
Venzke whose breast is scarcely
large enough to hold the hope that
has been beating within it for
years; and Luigi Beccali who ac-
cording to hearsay won the 1900
meter championship at the 1882
Olympics.
Cunningham's time was said to
have been remarkably fast. 1t was
announced as four minutes eight
and seventeenthS seconds. When
these figures were bawled through
the loudspeaker the 1900 Irish
men who composed the audience,
