walk, and won a unanimous decis-
ion.
Lack of condition also spelt doom
for two local boys in the prelimin-
airy bouts.
who won his fight couple of weeks
ago with knockout in SO seconds
of the first round against Tom Nc
Carran, found no such easy mark
when he squared off against Charlie
Madison, a colored boy from Balti-
more. Ford, who like Les, was much
too fat, was easily outpointed and it
is obvious, that if he hopes to get
anywhere in the squared circle, he
will have to get down to serious
training.
In the other preliminary involv-
ing local lad, it was the same story.
Bruce Johnson, pride of Jonathan
Street, climbed through the ropes to
meet Dick Porter, another colored
boy from Baltimore, but unfortu-
nately for the local lad, he was
pitifully out of condition and took
an awful beating in the two rounds
he lasted, the bout going to Porter
on TKO, when johnson was I'M
able to come up for the third.
In another preliminary, Edgar
Poe Jumped on his bicycle" at the
start of the first round and rode
for dear life" all through the four
rounds. Whenever Walter Michaels
could catch up with him, he belted
Poe all over the ring - Michaels was
the winner.
The biggest crowd since Gus
started his boxing shows left the
Armory more than pleased and Lud-
wig, together with Bass and the
Century Club of Baltimore, are to
be congratulated on bringing box
ing shows to Hagerstown at popular
prices, that would please fight fans
in any of the larger cities.
Due to April 10 being Good Fri

poned until Friday, April 26, when

Joe O'Connell, smuggling weller
weight who takes two to get in one
lived up to his advance reputation
in the feature bout at Gus Ludwig's
third boxing show at the Armory
Friday night, when he rose from the
canvas after being floored with q
solid right in the second round
weathered the storm and after TAX
ing all the steam out of his colored
opponent, Frank Lacy, in the third
round, scored a clean knockout in
the fourth.
Lacy, whose weight was announc-
ed at 159 lbs, against O'Connells
164, outpointed his heavier opponent
in the first round and when, mid
way in the second he fioored O'Con-
nell with a solid right delivered
from close in, it looked as if the
colored boy was going to run his
string of victories to seven straight,
particularly as O'Connell was CLASSY
eyed as he staggered to his feet. But
he fought his way out and was 60
ing strong when the bell sounded
to end the round.
The tide of battle changed sudden
ly in the third, however, with O'Con-
nell landing short left jabs, first to
the head and then to the stomach,
and when Lacy went to his corner
it was obvious that he had shot his
bolt. AS they came out for the
fourth, O'Connell, sensing that he
had his man, kept right on top of
him, Ticking that snaky left in the
lighter boys face time and again.
Then, changing his tactics, he hook
ed one, two, to Lacy's stomach and
it was all over.
In the six-round semi-final, it was
a case of a good colored boxer, in
excellent condition, beating a good
white boxer, in poor condition.
Had frankie Les got rid of about
ten pounds of excess weight around
the middle Il noticed the same thing
when he lost one of the preliminary
fights to Bobby Van Kirk on the
previous card), he would probably
have taken the measure of Melvin
Wade. But as it was, Wade, who was
in the pink of condition, piled up
points in the last couple of rounds

Boxing

Gus Ludwig phoned me yesterday
that he had just received word from
Sylvan Bass, matchmaker for the
Century Club of Baltimore, that
Charlie Crump and Jim Schwemmer
have definitely been signed for the
feature bout on Gus's next boxing
show on Thursday, April Is. Crump
was signed to meet Schwemmer in
the opening show several weeks ago,
but was injured while training.
The next show was originally
scheduled for Friday, April 10, but
as that is Good Friday, Ludwig
postponed it till the following week.
The Armory, however is booked for
Friday, April 26, so Gus advanced
the fights one day and they will
be held on Thursday night, April
25. Make a note of the date and
look for the full card in next weeks

Athletics Here For
Game Today At 2:3O
Fans VIII Get First Look At
Owls Squad In Action.

Bunny Griffith will get an OPP
portunity today to size up the
members of his squad who reported
for spring training on Sunday, when
the "Owls" take on Connie Mack's
Philadelphia Athletics in an exhibi-
ton game at the Stadium at 2:3O
this afternoon. Regular league prices
will prevail.
Swinging North from their Flori-
da spring training camp, the
Athletics are all ready for opening
day in the American League and
local baseball fans will not only
get their first look at the boys who
are fighting for place on the Ha-
gerstown Club, but will also see a
major league with their training be-.
hind them and primed for action
The Owls squad, in their work
outs, have shown plenty of pep
and ginger. Griffith was undecided
about his lineup as we went to press,
but no doubt quite a few of the
squad will be seen in action before
the game is over.
With the exception of catchers,
the present squad is "three deep"
in every position and the boys know
that they will have to fight for a
a place on the team. Unlike the
war years, there are now plenty of
ball players available and the man
who doesn't really put out, won't last
long.
Between now and opening day in
the Interstate League, it is expected
that the Chicago Cubs, with whom
the Hagerstown Club has working
agreement, will be sending Griffith
plenty of help and although it is
too early to make any real predic-
tons, we can safely say, after talk
ing with Griffith and Mr.. Sterling,
that the 1916 edition of the owls"
will be hustling, fighting ball club.

BEHIND

Baseball
By DOUG STEWART

Baseball
The weather man plays some
strange tricks. A couple of weeks
ago Hagerstown was enjoying sum-
mer weather, with the temperature
around the seventies ideal
weather for baseball - but hardly
had Bunny" Griffith and his "Owls"
squad arrived in town to begin
spring training, when the tempera-
ture suddenly dropped, to say moth
ing of rain all day Monday.
1t was originally planned to play
the exhibition game with the
Athletics under the lights tonight
and Griffith had scheduled night
practice for Tuesday night and last
night, but when Tuesday night came,
it was far too cold for a workout
and so Mr.. Sterling, after talking
to Connie Mack on the phone, an
nounced that the game would be
played this afternoon.
Griffith has got a likely looking
squad of prospects in uniform and
while it is too early to even hazard
a guess as to who will be on the
team when they take the field for
the opening game against Allen
town on May - the only definite
assignment at present is manager
Griffith at short - there is every
reason to believe that, with the
help that is expected from the Chi
cago Cubs and the boys now trying
out for the team, owner Sterling
and manager Griffith will come up
with the sort of team that the fans
are looking for a hustling, fight
ing bunch that won't give up until
the last man is out in the ninth
inning.
Give the fans that sort of ball
club and they'll support it and back
it, or miss my guess.

Dear Mr.. Douglass
Enclosed $500 to cover renewal of
my subscription to "The Globe-In-

At this time want to thank you
for your interest in defense of the
Knot Hole Gang" During the past
two weeks many sportcasters have
spoke very favorably over the radio,
giving an. outline of what is being
done in the different cities as to
their "Knot Hole" program for the
coming season. Therefore we in the
city of Hagerstown should be proud
of the fact we have "Knot Hole
Gang established and all ready to
open fire as soon as the "Ump' lets
loose "Play ball." also one that has
voted to back Bunny Grifiths 100
percent.
Broken homes due to divorce have
set many little boy and girl off
on the road to disappointment and
for that reason I for one want to
help them and I feel the ''Knot
Hole" is one way, as the Kids sure
do get kick out of the fact that
they have a pass and can get in
to see the ball game free.
Therefore we of the knot hole
wish you and your paper the best
of luck, and in return we ask that
you remember us once in a while

French Druft Constitution

The draft OF new constitution
which has emerged from the labors
of the Assembly chosen by the
French voters primarily for this
purpose seemingly satisfies no one
except the Communists. This is
because its outstanding feature is
the dominance of the single legisla-
tive Chamber which the Communists
have sought from the beginning to
attain. This would insure something
like absolute power to any party
which commanded a majority in the
Chamber. The Communists emerged
from the special election last autumn
as the strongest party in the Con-
stituent Assembly, though the So
cialists and the relatively conserva-
tive Popular Republicans" were
numerically not far behind.
The French people were obviously
determined to build a Fourth Re-
public" which should avoid the weak
points of the Third Republic that
had led to the disaster of internal
collapse and military debacle before
the German invasion of 1940. The
chief desideratum was larger
measure of authority and response
bility somewhere in the constitu-
tional structure. General de Gaulle
and his followers saw it through
strong executive. The Communists,
and to a lesser degree, the Socialists,
saw it in strengthened Legislature
in which multiplicity of parties
would be avoided by new electoral
methods.
This viewpoint has now won out
in the Assembly. But it has been
attained only by forcing it through
in face of determined opposition by
the Popular Republicans, and with
the lukewarm support of the Social
lists, who are uneasy over the possible
consequences. This is reflected by the
Assembly vote, which was 800 to 249.
The draft constitution will now be
submitted to the people for ratidca-
ton, the balloting being scheduled
for May S. 1t is certain that the
campaign will be hot one, and that
the sharpness of the theological
divisions which divide the French
people into opposing camps will be
thereby revealed. This is not a
happy augury for the draft conSti-
tuition. Predictions by informed
observers tend to forecast its accept
ance, but by a slim margin. Under
such circumstances, its durability is
not guaranteed. Yet this may de-
pend largely on the course of events,
both within France and in the world
at large. Indeed, nothing is even
reasonably certain in an era of
increasing uncertainty.

registering its opposition to military
control as such. Other civic and some

positions.
We cannot understand, however how
reasonable people can oppose measures
which would place the bomb itself under

Can COP Control CONGRESS?
By Raymond Molev

Since tradition has consigned to
chairmen of the Republican and Demo-
cratic National Committees the un-
grateful task of inspiring rather than
informing, it has been customary to
allow them a bit of poetic license In
short, they must keep up appearances
and they have to say what they don't
believe or what nobody else believes.
ing with hope, while their inner souls
are swimming in despair.
Hence, B. Carroll Reece must make
it seem as if 1947 Republican Con-
gress is practically in the bag. There
are, he says. only q seats to capture.
Several will be picked up in the border
States; two or three will be found
in the Deep South, And so on. All this.
because there is tide" running
against the Democrats.
I cannot argue about the tide" part,
although I have, in some travelling
about, found no particular tide" run
ming in any direction. But If a Re-
publican Congress is to be elected this
fall, there will have to be more than
tide" It will have to be a tidal
wave. And even the most optimistic
find no evidence of anything of the sort.
X \ X
1t Is not pleasant to set down these
words of caution. for Republican Con-
gress might be useful check on the
present CIO-PAC-ridden administra-
ton. But facts are facts.
Mr.. Bronson Bachelor of New York,
an intelligent student of politics, has
written, for private circulation, an anal
ysis of what is involved in electing
a Republican Congress. What he says
makes a great deal of sense Incl
dentaliy, Mr.. Bachelor is a Republican
and he would like nothing better than
to see the Republicans back in power.
But he is also a realist.
The Democrats, he points out, hold
103 seats in the South, and he does
not believe the Republicans can take
any of them. That leaves 109 Demo-
cratic seats in the North and 81 Demo-
cratic seats In the border States.
Evening star., 1946-04-22

Mr.. Bachelor points out, further,
that gain of q seats would not assure
firm control of the House. At least 40
seats must be wrested from the Demo-
Gratis to assure working majority.
This means that the Republicans
must hold all they have and win from
the Democrats approximately third
of their Northern and border seats.
The Republicans cannot hope to do
this by picking up the rural seats here
and there. They must crack directly
into the big metropolitan centers, now
controlled by Democratic bosses and by
labor. There are 81 such seats, and
for nearly 20 years Republicans have
been losing, not gaining, city seats. They
now have only II.
X X x
The Republicans have. as Mr.. Reece
accurately points out, been winning back
House seats almost consistently since
the debacle of 1896. But they have
won back normally Republican seats.
They are now down to bedrock, and
the digging will be harder. 1t is like
the fat man who finds in reducing that
the first 10 pounds are easy, but that
positive agony attends the going after
that.
Only two factors could break the
difficult situation described above The
first would be great panic or scandal.
Neither is likely to break. The second
would be an organized effort by the
Republican party, as intense, skillful
and pervasive in all the districts of
the North and border as the CIO-PAC
put on in few districts in 1914. Such
drive is simply not possible under
tho present Republican headquarters
organization. 1t is better than it was,
but it is far from being an effective
fighting outfit.
Meanwhile, every resource useful in
swinging votes in industrial districts is
in the hands of Mr.. Hannegan and the
CIO-PAC. And nothing will be forgot
ten this year. 1t would take landslide
to change the complexion of Congress.

For Peace and Prosperity

In his recent address on our for
eign economic policy, Assistant Sec
retary of State William l.. Clayton
did not give voice to any new prin-
ciples. He simply restated this fun
damental American thesis: That
some powers have been blessed by
historical events and by nature with
great actual or potential wealth;
that other powers have not been so
blessed, and that war breeding fric-
tions between the two groups, be-
tween the "haves" and the "have-
nots," are virtually inevitable unless
international trade is so ordered as
to permit a fair distribution and
exchange of the earth's goods.
To bring about such a distribution,
the United States, despite occasional
lapses, has traditionally advocated
principles designed to do away with
the barriers that have existed in the
past between country and country.
AS summarized by Mr.. Clayton, these
principles are Cd. equality among
nations in having access to raw ma
terials, a point stressed in the Allan
tic Charter. and (2) promotion of
world trade on the freest possible
basis in order to make prosperity
grow everywhere and hence to bull
Wark peace. To this end. as Mr..
Clayton declares, our policy is to
seek the greatest measure of inter-
national cooperation to cut dewn
excessive and preferential tariff sys-
TENS, to extend loans where loans
will make for healthy commerce, to
end imperialistic practices under
which one power can shut off other
powers from markets and resources
vital to their economic well-being,
and in general to remove or modify
all artificial restrictions blocking
vigorous economic development on
universal scale.
1t is one thing, however, to advo-
cate principles, and another thing to
put them in practice AS a "have"
nation, the United States cannot do
the job alone. 1t needs the support
of the other "haveS." Conditions
attached to the British loan indicate
that the necessary economic CO.
operation will be forthcoming from
Britain, but the same cannot be said
of Russia at this time. Nevertheless
the American thesis is so sound that
it may yet be adopted on a world
