Last week his successor was appointed: David J. Davis, great & good friend and onetime law partner of Alabama's Senator Hugo La Fayette Black. Said the Birmingham bar when he was proposed for the job: "Courteous . . . considerate . . . efficient."

Partners Gustav Kilian & Heinz Vopel, over whose bunk flew the old German flag lest "non-Aryans" be annoyed, made their Garden debut by bumping soundly, crashing heavily.

Helped to their cots, where they were thoroughly lubricated and bandaged, they soon joined the chase again. Vopel, still reckless, next collided with Torchy Peden. Over them tumbled Testa, Grimm, Wissel...
