CATHOLICS WIN | MEXICAN VICTORY
Supreme Court Rules Against Anti-C Clerical
 Law

Mexico City, May 5.-(UP)-MeM- can Catholics won an important vic- tory today in their drive to have laws limiting the number of priests declared unconstitutional. The federal supreme court, in a to 1 decision last night granted an injunction against operation of the anti-clerical law of the state of Chihuahua.
 Legal experts said that if the Mexican Catholics could obtain four similar rulings the unconstitution- ality of the anti-C Catholic legislation would be established. Three priests, the Revs. Salvador Eranga, Manuel Deoses and Jose Ramos, appealed for the injunction to the supreme court, in the midst of an extremely tense situation in Chihuahua.
 In April, 1936, a law reducing the number of priests permitted to off, ciate in the state from five to one was passed. Legislators sponsoring the law said it was necessary to com bat subversive activities of priests, and their opposition to revolution ary principles and socialistic educa- tion.
 Disorders followed. On Feb. 10, the Rev. Pedro Maldonado, was beaten to death near Juarez. In granting the injunction, the court held that the offenses the law sought to eliminate "be fought with the regular punishment which the law provides"
 Justice Agustin Garza Cabello, who handed down the courts deci- sion, said that the federal cOnstitu- ton, in authorizing the Mexican states to limit the number of priests, did not intend for this authority to be used as 8 political or social weapon.
 It was authorized, he said, to de- termine the number of priests in &C., cordance with the percentage of Catholic population of 8 state and its facilities for communication.

Staleness Most Devastating.

Staleness Most Devastating.
can affect mental atti-
tude with more devastating effect
than staleness.
This leaves brain, nerves and muscle
ali tied up and tangled, where nothing
responds.
Under these conditions there is no
mental attitude that can meet or han
die the situation. It is much better to
be mdertrained than overturned. A
fresh second-rater often is better than
b tired star.
This is one reason why foot ball
teams show such varied form from one
week to another. The great majority OF
teams now face tough schedules, a
hard game week after week. No one
can tell when any smash-up is coming,
but there are many times when team
will be four touchdowrs better one
saturday than it will be week away
The mental attitude Of foot ball
team Is one Of its most important fac
tors. This is why most coaches sing
sad songs and make dire predictions.
They know the price of overconfiden
The mental attitude they want is the
feeling that only hard, desperate play
can win. Hard blocking and hard
running and hard tackling demand
this mental angle. But at some spot
through the season the time comes
when the team goes into nosedive
q far as any mental attitude is con-
oerned, where al the kings horses and
the melancholy rut.

The Second Tyne.

THE case involving mental attitude
= for the day or the occasion is
another matter-much more subtle
and at times indefnable.
There are days, for example, when
you can concentrate and there are
days when you can't.
1t may come from outside worry
lack of sleep - staleness - jumpy
nerves that have nothing to do with
the contest ahead.
1t may come from acidity that often
comes and goes-difficult to explain.
On certain days you'll find your de-
cisions are no longer clear cut-but
on the hazy side
For example, I know of one star
golfer whose mental attitude for the
day was established by the way his
hands felt.
IF my hands feel thin he told me,
II know I'm in for good round. II
they feel thick, I know I am headed
for trouble. You have the touch with
thin feeling hands-you haven't when
they feel thick
The matter of thin or thick feeling
hands probably is a matter of acidity
or good digestion. But you'll find on
certain days your hands feel thick, for
no reason you can explain, and that
on other days they feel thin. And
with many golfers a certain mental
attitude goes with the thin or thick
feeling.

| HAGEN IS EXAMPLE
| OF MENTAL PUNCH
Tough Outlook a Tonic to
Some, Others Ruined by
Focus on Trouble.
BY GRANTLAND RICE.

BY GRANTLAND RICE.
w YE NOW are on the verge Of
\A/ ! wading into rather deep
wv water, but there seems to
be no other way. A cor
respondent wants to know just what
We mean by mental attitude" as ap-
piled to competition. You've used
this phrase several times" he writes.
''You say it is highly important. But
what does 1t mean?"
There are two different brands OF
mental attitude. One is permanent;
the other may change from day to
day. depending upon a number Of
things that will be taken up later on.
In the first case, we'll use Walter
Hagen for a leading example. Some
years ago. Hagen faced the last five
long holes at Hoylake in the British
open. He needed par against the
wind on these holes to win by a
stroke, 1t seemed to be hopeless
job. He did it. I remember Bernard
Darwin writing at the time that
Hagen seemed to relish the JOB ahead
that you could see he was getting a
thrill from tackling such tough as
signment with so much at stake.
Hagen's mental attitude at this
stormy spot was one of determination,
fine spirit-where 50 many others
would have considered the chance a
hopeless one against sea winds blow
ing head on.
Darwin was right. It was this sort
Of thing that gave Hagen thrill.
Thinks in Terms of Success.
HERES another angle. Just before
A world series I was talking one
day with Hagen and Gabby Hartnett,
the Cubs star catcher.
Hagen, you might remember, could
have been big league ball player as
well as big league golfer.
I'D like to be in this world series"
Hagen told Gabby, with two out in
the ninth and the winning or tying
yun on second base"
"One heluva spot" Gabby said.
Il know it is," Hagen answered "A
lot OF fellows would go TO pat tnlnk-
ing how terrible it would be to pop
up or strike out. My angle would be
that here's the big chance-the chance
to be the hero. 1 might strike out or
pop up, but don't think that idea
would ever occur to me. You've got
to think in terms of success-not in
terms of failure. You've got to be-
lieve in yourself-and the bigger the
handicap the stronger this belief has
to be-the stronger your determination
has to be that you can handle it."
This type of mental attitude be-
longed to such stars as Ty Cobb, Ha-
gen, Bill Tilden, Jim Thorpe, Jack
Dempsey, Bill Johnston and several
others whove helped to write head
lines 1t is an attitude in which
fear or failure is missing ingredient.

CITY LOOP Furnishes
ITS RULE BREAKERS
Petworth Team, Pitcher Doonis
Banned-Cafeterias Quit
After Forfeit.

TWO teams and star pitcher for a
third were out of the National
City Base Ball League today, following
decisions by Vic Gauzza. president OF
the crack independent loop.
Because Tom Doonis. who used to
pitch for Tech High School, hurled
for the Petworth Juniors when he
was under contract to the J. c. Flood
Plumbers, both he and the Petworth
teams we're suspended for the re-
mainder of the season Doonis also
pitched one game for the Georgetown
A. c. in the unlimited section. but
Gauzza's action prohibits subsequent
appearances with that team. Pet
worth's suspension automatically
clinched the first-half junior title for
Georges Radio. which had only
game with Petworth standing between
it and the championship.
Gordon's Cafeteria was the other
team on the outside looking in today.
The team dropped out Of its own ac-
cord when Gauzza refused to order its
game with Klein's Tavern last Sunday
replayed after Klein's had been award
ed a forfeit by the umpire because Of
stalling by Gordons.
