on EcDermott, Saturday, and declared
him out on foul tip. He called foul
a strike on another player and made
many other laughable breaks.

Vetoed.
CHICAGO, Aug A Tribune special
from Springfield Qlls) says 'Srhere is
great danger Of the World's fair bin being
vetoed. Grave doubts OF the constitutions
ality OF some Of it's provisions are enter
tanned by the chief executive and The bill
may fail 10 become a law after AL The
constitutional question involved is simply
this: The legislature gave the land to be
used by the city AZ park When any part
thereof shall be used for any othex purpose
the whole shall revert TO the state.
In brief Il created a new park and legis-
lates away the title to such submerged
land as may be reclaimed, the saua being
the pRoperty OF the state. These amend
ments are not, II is claimed, within the
purview Of the call, which would seem TO
contemplate legislation giving "a tho
Worlds fair only the use Of public grounds
Of either state, city or park for purposes of
the fair.
The amendment passes title With Ger
tain restrict ons and creates a new park--a
proposition not involved by the call and
neither Is it included in the title 10 the
bill, and the courts Of the state have held
time and again that "but one subject shall
be included in an act, and that shall be
expressed in It's title Speaker Cochran
has NOT yet signed the bill, but viii proba-
bly, DO so today, when it will be sent to
the governor for his approval If Governor
Fifer Il forced to veto the bill it Is under
stood that he will not reconvene the legis-
lature, but will allow the matter to be re-
introduced in the Thirty-seyenth general

hasty retreat and were fol-
