Rene,ual of Old Feuds Stirs
D. c. Tennis Title Aspiraats,
With Ouarter-Finals on Tap

announcement that the thtrd-SeedeT
team Of Tom Mangan and Ralph Nc
Elvenny had defaulted yesterday, leav-
ing Ralph Adair and Breese with an
almost unobstructed path to the
semi-finals. Some Of the teams were
going to play two matches today in
an effort to fill the quarter-final
bracket by nightfau. David johnson
and Hugh Lynch, the fourth-seeded
team, not only are furthest advanced,
but already are In the semi-nnals. 4
There won't be any new names ip
tomorrow's semi-finals, but the possik
bility Of old rivalries being renewed has
given the fans something to take
notice Of If both come through as
expected today, that Breese- Welsh
match should be corker and-again
basing the predication on seedlings
so should the one between Lynch and
Mitchell
Records show that Breese was un-
beaten in regulation manner here last
season, the big, good-natured blond
either defaulting or retiring in threel
semi-flnal matches before the last set
could be started. One of the men to
whom Breese defaulted was Welsh,
who had been held all even in two sets
and won the one set he took only at
10-8. After dropping that long one
to Champion Barney, Bill turned
around to even the set by winning,
6+4, before defaulting.
Barney probably has bit too much
IN, ha hall bo
much fun out of tennis as any player
in town. but the struggle should profs
interesting. Before todays matches
Breese and Welsh had had the easiest
times advancing of any entrants, both
winning in straight sets. Barney has
lost only five games in three matches
and Breese only 13 in six sets.
Fancy Duel Looms.
A Lynch-Mitchell match also should
be a duel to the death, for this pair
waged two matches that were classics
Of the 1887 season. The first was in
the Grand National, in which Mitchell
two sets down and trailing, Is, in 1
the third-staged one of the greatest
rallies ever seen locally to whip Lynch
in five sets. Mitchell also defeated
Lynch for the Middle Atlantic cham
pionship, this time in four sets.
Both Mitchell and Lynch have been
extended this week, and. singularly,
both by juniors. Mitchell was pressed
all the way yesterday to win from De-
witt Smith, jr., who-remarkably i'm
proved in a years time-forced DoolY
to 50, 10-8 scores. The previous
day, David johnson had carried Lynch
to three sets.
OF four other matches yesterday.
three were long and hard fought, only
Welsh being able to win as he pleased,
Joel Baker proved Barney's third VIC
tim by 60, 6-1 scores, but Don
CARRIER, Bill Howard and Buddy Adair
! proved stubborn before bowling to
Breese. Latona and Robinson. Breess
finally quelled Garber's hopes at 6-3,
Ga; Latona was forced to 60 three
sets to defeat Howard, 60, As, 6-3,

JUSTICE BLACK

High Court Members Are
Said Embarrassed; Sim
cerity Unquestioned

WASHINGTON, May IL. (UP)
Associate Supreme Court Justice
Hugo l.. Black, President Roose-
velt's first appointee to the high
tribunal, is causing his colleagues
"acute discomfort and embarrass-
ment" because Of his "lack of le-
gal knowledge and experience"
Marquis w. Childs, well known
Washington correspondent, says in
an article in the current issue of
Harper's magazine.
Childs writes that his observa-
tons. are based on authoritative
information and he states that
J''stice Blacks deficiencies in
background and training" have
"led him into plumbers which have
shocked his colleagues"
He prefaced the article with a
brief resume Of Mr.. Roosevelt's
fight to enlarge the supreme
5s3aa,t and the chief executives
appointment Of Black, a so-called
liberal, whose nomination was
fought bitterly when it was charg-
ed that the former Alabama sem
atOr had been a member Of the
Ku Klux Khan.
Childs says the Khan issue has
nothing whatsoever to do with the
discomfort of Blacks colleagues,
both "Hberal" and conservative
but that Blacks craftsmanship at
the law is the issue.
Concurrent with publication Of
the article, Raymond Clapper,
columnist for the Scripps-Howard
newspapers, wrote that he had in
quired directly of several men,
bers of the supreme court as to
the accuracy of the reflections
upon Justice Blacks ability and
that sin no case has any one dis
sented OF offered one word In
Justice Blacks defense, even pri-
vately."
Clapper continued, saying that
from these conversations and
from the internal evidence in the
article itself, | have no doubt in
my own mind that the essential
material which reflects upon Jus
tice Black came from within the
court itself. Some of the breth-
ren," he wrote, "seem entirely
satisfied with the article, as one
might infer from the mutual
chuckles over it between Justice
James Clark McReynolds and Silas
Strawn, former president of the
United States chamber of COM
merce, as they sat together at din
ner the other night :"
Childs writes, What dominates
the thinking of those members of
the court most keenly aware of
their responsibilities, is grave
concern for the future" He cites
the absence, because of illness, of
Justice Benjamin Cardozo, Mr..
Roosevelt's selection of former
Solicitor General Stanley Reed as

Rep. Clare E. Hoffman, R., Mich,
bitter foe of New Deal labor poll

he said, enabled the Clio to obtain
