NOT A MEMBER NOW,
SAYS KLAN'S CHIEF

ATLANTA, Ca, Sept. IA. -
(UP)-Hiram w. Evans, imperial
wizard of the Ku KluX Khan, curt
ly denied yesterday that Associ-
ate Justice Hugo L. Black of the
supreme court is a member of the
hooded organization.
"The statement that Justice
Black holds life membership in
the Klan is without foundation of
fact" Evans stated. "He is not
even a member. There is only one
wizard in the Klan and I'm the
wizard-so / ought to know"
Assertions that Black was a
life member of the Klan were
made in a copyright dispatch of
the North American Newspaper
Alliance. The article stated that a
Gold Life-membership card in the
Khan was presented to the recent
ly appointed justice in the pres
cnce of Imperial Wizard Evans
and other Klansmen at Birming-
ham in 1926.
That part of the article that
we have a mysterious super-gov-
eminent that once ruled half a
continent with terror and vio--
lence' also is pure poppycock,"
the Klan official said.
Evans said he was not certain
whether Black at one time was a
member, but he sis not a men,
Der now"
Evans statement regarding
Black was denied, however, by
former Governor Thomas Z. Kill
by of Alabama, who said he had
a photostatic copy of card
which granted life membership TO
the justice. ,
Kilby unsuccessfully opposed
Black when the latter was re-
elected to the senate in 1882. He
said several copies of the photo

likely to become tired and dis.
couraged at having nothing, but
lobs to hit. So doubles teams take

The drop shot is a very hard
shot to execute. It requires q
delicacy of touch not necessary in
the other strokes. The drop snot
is nothing more than a slice that
drops with sort Of q fadeawsy
bounce just barely over the net
in your opponents court.
If the drop shot is not perfect
IL is generally turned into q win
ming shot by your opponent.

in their own way. If you have
played tennis, you probably have
used them at various times.
The slice is made by cutting
under the ball, thus imparting q
back spin that makes the ball bite
into the court. This shot is made
with the same grip as you would
use for the forehand or backhand
drives.
Elbow Action
In making this shot, the action
is primarily from the elbow. In
other words draw your racquet
back not with your full arm
swing but simply more or less
from the elbow. Let the racquet
go through much as though you
would swing a hand Ratchet in
cutting down a small tree.

should be long and low with the

course the head of your racquet
is beveled back quite good ways

The slice is very effective on q
wet court as it does not bounce
up. It is also extremely effective
when used as a change of pace.
The lob is primarily a defensive
shot. There is no set way of exc
cutting a lob. You simply hit the
ball high into the air.
This is done to keep your oppo-
