japanese decision not to adhere
to the provision limiting naval
guns to fourteen inches opens the
gate wide and removes the last
limit to naval limitations. It is
well known that the United States
is considering 16-inch guns for
its new battleships, although Great
Britain apparently intends to stick
to the 14-inch weapons. Some
naval strategists believe that the
smaller calibre, hut quicker firing
guns, viii be just as effective as
the larger, longer range weapons.
However, other naval experts take
the view that if one nation goes
to 16-inch guns the other powers
will have to follow the lead and
that this will cause larger ships
to be planned in order to carry
the heavier guns and the armor
desired.

In the main those who support
the Presidents liberal policies
incline to go down the line with
him and those who oppose his
program assail the plan. There
are others, notably legal exp rts,
who also rally to defend the Court
and the Constitution but the bait

ion. or, at least, by what Con-
gressmen think is pubic opinion

Several weeks ago in these col
umns we gave readers our own
idea as to the probable outcome of
the fight. Without passing upon
the merits of the Presidents plan
we said that, in the long run, he
would secure his end, although
possibly not exactly as outlined.
There is no reason to change that
prediction now. In fact, the
President is said to be cautioning

Both sides sought to make cap
ital out of the Courts reversal of
its opinion within the space of
year. Opponents of the Presi-
dents new plan maintained that
the decision demonstrated that the
Constitution, in the eyes of the
Court, was living document and
that no new blood was needed.
Advocates of the judiciary reform

after his return from Georgia,
was in no hurry to take hand in
the argument. Senator Robinson,
speaking after a conference with
Mr.. Roosevelt, explained that i
was felt that, under present Court
decisions, the Federal government
could only intervene upon q re-
quest from state or in the event
a Federal law was violated or
Federal property endangered. This
was accentuated by the fact that
the Wagner Labor Relations Act
was before the Supreme Court at
the time of the conferenc and the
judicial judgment in regard to it
had not been rendered.

The Supreme Court got into the
limelight quite definitely by a de-
cision upholding the Washington
Minimum Wages for Women
statute. This was virtually the
same as an act of the State of New
York which was declared uncon-
stitutional by a five-to-four
decision of the Supreme Court in
1886. The Court, in its opinion,
expressly overruled an earlier
case which was considered bind
ing last year. The shift of JUS
tice Roberts, VINO altered his posi-
ton, reversed the decision of last
year and made the minority opin-
ion the majority view.

Pullins, who first toured the
country with the original and IA
nous Harlem Globe Trotters, knew
what the fans enjoyed when they
turned out to see travelling team,
especially a colored club. Pullins
knew that the fans expected COM

own club he spent many hours
drilling the boys in comical stunts
and maneuverS that has since made
the team the talk of the country.
He secuted the entire east for
his team. He went to Chicago to

a sensation with the Chicago Hot

that he had a truly all-star aggre-

The team has always dressed in
the flashiest manner and each sea-

Against colored competition in

BY HENRY McLEMORE

MIAMI, Fla, Jan. IL. UP) - On
last Saturday, under the hot sun
of Miami, Bryan M. Grant, jr., of
the Atlanta immortalized by Bobby
Jones and Margaret (gone with the
Wind Mitchell, defeated Donald
Bulge of California, 6-2, 7-5, 60,
in the final round of the Biltmore
tennis championship
Unless am mistaken, this vic
tory by Grant will form the key
stone OF the largest, most robust,
sports argument OF the year 1887.
I expect 1t to form the basis of a
disagreement which will reach the
proportions of the battle between
Eleanor Holm ('pop the eorks,
boys'D Jarrett and Avery CI done
my duty') Brundage in 1886.
Because the Davis cup team each
year is chosen, or rather made up,
from the results of tournaments
between January and June, If, dur
ing the period from New Years to
the middle of June, A beats B
often and badly. B doesn't get in
vited to Philadelphia to practice
for the international competition,
and A does.
That is unless it is Bryan M.
Grant, jr., of the Atlanta of Jones
and Mitchell, 1t has been pretty
well proved in the past few years
that the United States Lawn Ten
mis- association wants no part OF
Bryan Grant. I first suspected this
two years ago when, after win
at Forest Hills which placed him
in the semi-finals, 1 heard a U. s.
L. T. A. official turn to three solid
rows of newspapermen and say:
Lord God, that fellow has won
again What will we do with him?"
My suspicious were solidified last
year when Grant was side-tracked
in favor of Wilmer Allison. Despite
the fact that Allison couldn't get
ball over the net in the tryouts
at the Cricket club in dear old
Philadelphia. The tennis fathers,
as far as / could learn, decide that
Wilmer, even though his forehand.
backhand and service reeked of
Camambert, was more desirable
than Grant, who had licked him
most of the times they had met.

High school cagers today resumed
practice for second round games in
the Imperial Valley basketball race
which viii match El Centre against

'aad Brawley against Holtville.
+. Brawley, Holtville and Calexico
ARE tied for the league lead with
one win and no defeats.
The Holtville Brawley game.
scheduled TO be played in Holtville,
IS the headliner tilt this week. Holt
pille's fine showing in trouncing
Calipat last week make the Vikings
a leading contender for a first di-
vision berth and the Holtville five
is pointing for this weeks tilt again
the favored Wildcats.
Calsxico is rated a sure bet to
knock over Calipatria high and
maintain their position in the unde-
feated column, and Imperial looks
ike an easy mark for the El Centre
: spartans.
In the c division Brawley should
defeat the Holtville cagers, Calex-
leo should whip Imperial and Impe-.
rial is favored over Fl Centre.
The Imperial Eighties have shown
improvement with each game thus
iar in the season and is rated as
the Clly team capable of upsetting
: the defending champion Wildcat

Z Coach w. S. Taylor, disappointed
but net discouraged by the showing

BUDGE BOWS
- Bitsy Cranf Scores Again
CUP MOGULS STUMPED

The fact that Wilmer lost, and in
a hurry, to both Australians in
the zone play-offs, didn't seem to
disturb the tennis graybeards. l
don't think anything short of death
would.
Grant, who was ranked back of
frankie Parker this year for q rea-
son that only heaven knows, prob
ably won't make the 1897 Davis
cup team. He'll be invited TO the
play-offs, yes, but when the time
comes to name a team the directors
of our Lawn Tennis place above
him group of lovely boys named
Featherstuffer.
I've explained before why the
tennis officials don't like Grant, AS
! get 1t, they don't think he wears
his flannels properly, or combs his
hair in a becoming manner. In
short, if some one would hand Rob-
ert Taylor a racquet, and teach him
how to hit ball with 45 degrees
of the right direction, he would be
chosen over the diminutive At
lantan.
I'm starting my squawk about
Grant very early. I plan to con-
tinue it until he gets fair break
Maybe he would result in COM
plete failure as a Davis cupper. I
don't know But I think he de-
serves a chance. I think that a
straight set victory over the No
ranking player in this country, and
the No. 3 mo. now that Perry
has turned pro- in the world en-
titles him to shot. And I would
think so even if Grant wore overalls
on the court and expectorated to-
bacco Juice between each shot.
After all, masculine beauty never
won a Davis cup. Tilden, at his
best resembled a sad horse. And
Bill Johnston lived in California
for years without contract.

tract boats from all over the Pacific
Coast with a smattering of eastern

Ruth Herring of Fort Worth, Texas,
holders of the Glass A mile straight
away record of 1880 MPH; Worth

interest of the public, however, CEN
ters upon the competitive races for
all classes OF motor boats On Sun
day. This race on Sandy Beach,
the Submarine Course, has been
already termed the Golden Race
because all trophies offered will be
of gold, which feature has served
to attract motor boat owners from
points as far north as Seattle and
east as far as Chicago.
At Imperial Valleys Cupboard
Mid-Winter Regatta last year, the
world record was broken in the
C Service Runabout Glass by Andy
Laird of Tracy who carried home
first place in the Westmorland Cup

last year made sports history on
the Pacific Coast and was consi-
dered up to that time the greatest
Pacific Coast racing event. This
