PAT M'CARRAN
OFFERSCHANCE
TO Il MEMBERS
Compromise Offered by
Administration Man
Possible Solution
FOES CHARGE EFFORT
TO GAG OPPOSITION

WASHINGTON, Apr. 10. CUP
Senator Pat McCarran, D., New.
member Of the senate judiciary
committee today introduced an
amendment to President Roose
velt's court bill providing for
flat increase Of the supreme court
to II members.
The amendment, coming from
q staunch administration support
er at q time when congressional
demands for q compromise were
increasing, was considered as 4
possible basis for solution Of the
controversy over the proposal 10
add six new members.
McCarran's amendment would
eliminate the presidents idea OF
adding q new justice for every
one who fails to retire at 70 years
Of age. McCarran said that his
proposal is result Of long study
and search for q solution.
1T comes partly as q result OF
the Wagner decisions and partly
as q result of increased business
of the court" he declared.
WASHINGTON, April Is. -
(UP)-Dispute over introduction
Of testimony against President
Roosevelt's supreme court reor-
ganization bill late yesterday
caused opponents to threaten 10
prolong the hearings of the SEN
ate judiciary committee.
The fight broke out as Demo
cratic opponents and neutrals
sought 10 modify the president
plan and indicated refusal TO be
lieve that Mr.. Roosevelt will not
accept q compromise unless he
makes O statement himself.
Amid charges that the admins
tration was seeking to gag the OPP
Senator Edward K
Burke, D., Neb.. a leading foe OF
reorganization, said his group
would not cancel scheduled wit
nesses for next week. Previously
it had appeared that hearings
might be ended this week and the
committee was planning to vote
in secret Saturday on q motion to
conclude them,
The demand for compromise
seemed to gain strength despite
statements Of two cabinet Off
GERS indicating unyielding deter
mination to continue the fight for
Attorney General Ho-
mer 8. Cummings, whose first re-
ply to compromise talk was "hoo-
ey," said yesterday he was "hew-
ing to the line" in support Of the
program. Secretary Of Agricul-
ture Henry A.. Wallace said farm
ers must continue to work for en-.
actment to end what he interpret.
ed as determination against ag-
and to assure consti-
nationality of farm legislation.
The senate committee fight
came when Burke asked permits
sion to introduce In the record
the letters of q group Of New
England college presidents oppos-
ing the bill. Administration sena-
tors maintained 1t was against the
rules.
"This will force the opponents
Of the bill to call witnesses next
week." Burke warned. He added
that administration leaders had
told him John L. Lewis, Go
chairman, would be called as sn
advocate Of the bill.
Senators Carl A. Hatch, D., n.
H., and James Hughes, D., Del,
served notice they would demand
4 showdown vote on closing the
hearings Saturday, and Senator
George McGill, D., Kans., added:
"This committee can close these
bearings by majority vote"

.FURR'S DRAW HELPS HIM

Another Gotham Bout.

NEW YORK, January 6 Cp)-Ne-

Square Garden between Phil Fur,
Washington welterweight. and Jimmy
Leto or Tony Turillo were under way
today following Furr's eight-round
draw with Eddie Carroll Of Ottawa
here last night before 5000 spectators
at the Coliseum.
A 1-to-2 underdog entering the ring,
Furr rocked the Canadian in the sec
ond round with solid right to the
head and again in the final session he
staggered Eddie with another right
which almost terminated the scrap.
Carroll smashed Furr's nose in the
third round with a left hook and
nearly closed Phil's eye with a right
hook in the seventh. Furr scored with
his right throughout the battle to earn
the draw. Referee Pete Hartley voted
Furr the winner, but the two judges
called the bout q draw.

DOYLE Last High Up.

DOYLE, We are told, came within an
~ inch of being named No. 10 in
1917 when the decision between him
and the eventual gamer Of that posi-
ton was so close that opinion was d.
vided all over the country. In fact, so
widespread was Doyle's fame that two
New York newspapers accorded him a
national ranking of seventh, disagree
ing completely with the official list.
But since then, no local man has
gotten close to that spot, not even
within the first 20. Gill Hunt was
ranked twenty-third two years ago,
but not until last Sunday had a Wash
ington resident been noted as high as
sixteenth.
But Barney went to lot of trouble
last Summer to gain national recogni-
tion and We. for one, are glad to see
that the talent, which he has illus
trated so we'll around these parts. is
at last recognized by the largest net
association in the world.

DUE GREAT CREDIT
FOR HIGH RANKING
Earning 18th on National
List, Puts Him Highest
Since Connie Doyle.
nv RuI. nISMER. JR.

IT'S ABOUT time that some other
mention beside the curt mo. 16'
be made Of our fair citys highest
i nationally-ranked tennis player
since the one and only Connie Doyle.
It has been several days since two
local newspapers published the rank
ings of the United States Lawn Tennis
Association for 1886, in which the
name Of one Barnard Welsh was seen
10 be sixteenth in line Of the country's
outstanding netlnen. Try as we would,
we could not find his name in the third
list published. which had the name OF
Helen Fulton, a ranking girl player, in
sixteenth place. aside: It really
shoulda been Welsh in place Of Fulton.
You're welcome)
But if our dispatch from New York
was correct, and we have no doubt but
that it was, Barney Welsh, singles
champion of the Capital for the past
two years, now is justified in being
called the sixteenth best player in the
United States, and for a town that's
never had a homegrown product in
the first 10, that's something!

Divides With Hendrix.

"A RTHUR HENDRIX, who in the
Sugar Bowl tournament at New
Orleans in January, 1886, defeated
Wilmer Allison and who was rewarded
for his seasons play by getting the
tenth ranking position, both defeated
and was defeated by Welsh. It was In
the same Sugar Bowl, when Hendrix
was "hot," that Welsh met his water
loo, but he more than avenged him
self later in the year with a conquest
of the Floridan in the final match for
the Middle States championship.
Another great stand by Welsh was
made against Bobby Riggs, the young
California sensation, who climaxed his
first year in major competition by
gaining the fourth ranking post be-
hind Bitsy Grant. In the national
clay courts tournament, which Riggs
subsequently won, Welsh had him
hanging on the ropes before Riggs
finally eked out a 81, 6-3, 81,
8-6 victory.
Welsh now holds two sectional titles
in addition to his District crowns
the New England States and Middle
States grass courts championships.
In the words Of the aforementioned
Connie Doyle, daddy of all local
racketers, Welsh takes the game seri-
ously and has the ability and every
possibility Of going places+if he can
put the time into the game it re-
quires." Something Connie was not
able to do.

1886, during which, travelling more ex-
tensively than any other local netman
ever went to play tennis in one Sum-

his loss to Frank Parker, rated second
only to Don Bulge, in what was re-

ever faced on local courts" The score
OF Welsh's defeat at Parker's hands
was 6-3, 4-6, 81, 81.
Gene Mako of Americas Davis Cup

victim last year, although Barney.
ironically, impressed critics more in
