Taking chances at all times taking
every reasonable chance, and some
that do not seem even reasonable, ls
the way think a player wins games
If ne has speed, and courage, and con

seizes every opening and runs hard
and slides harder. he will help his
team win.
Sometimes 1t seems to me that one
bali player Is better than another, sim
ply eCause he has more nervous en-.
ergy and what we call "8uts, than
another Nowadays the teams are so
closely matched and the men so near
ly equal in ability, that the team to
win must have some method, or some
skilfu leader, and then something
to keep It hustling and lighting all the
time

players, just tell them that they must

POWER AMENDMENT
MAY Be SUBMITTEO
VOTERS NEED NOT AWAIT SEC
OND ACTION OF STATE
LEGISLATURE.
ar THE NOVEMBER ELECTION
Secretary Of State Frear Will Submit
10 the Voters the Amendment to
the Constitution Proposed by
the Legislature Of 1907.

Madison. Gilbert notified
Secretary of State F'rear that the pro
posed water power amendment to the
state constitution should be submitted
to a vote of the people at the Noyem-
Der election, Notwithstanding that the
measure has been acted upon by the
legislature but once.
An amendment to the constitution
requires two passages of the legisla-
ture and the sanction of a majority
of the voters of the state in regular
election.
This amendment has once passed
the legislature and came up second
time, when action was deferred pend
ing the report Of special committee.
The committees report having
been submitted and the second action
not having been taken the question
arose whether the amendment could
be submitted In the election next No
yomber.
The attorney general held that the
second action of the legislature might
follow the election, and also pointed
out that there is a slight possibility
Of a special session.
II was necessary to decide the ques-
u0u at this time in order to make
preparations for the election.
Secretary of State Frear will there
.lro submit to the voters at the No
yamber election the amendment to
The constitution proposed by the legis-
Hture of 1907 and now pending before
The legislature of 1909, providing that
The state may appropriate moneys
for the purpose Of acquiring, preserv-
ius and developing the water powers
and forests Of the state; but there
shall not be appropriated under the
year an amount to exceed tWotenths
Of one mill of the taXible property Of
the state, as determined by the last
IH' ceding assessment"
Ihus the matter is temporarily de-
tormined If no special session of the
legislature of 1909 is held, then, even
y he people vote their approval, the
amendment falls and the purpose ar.
rived at in the proposal can only be
brought about by beginning all over
again, passing a resolution through
tao legislatures and again submitting
II to the people. Should there ba
s.ecial session of the Legislature after
the November election, then there
might be a question as to whether
i. approval of the people, given be
lore legislative action, would make
The amendment good. That might be
p question for the supreme court,

Few Mushrooms Found.

The members of the Wisconsin
Theological society had "scant pick,
ing" during their Saturday and Sun.
day outings, and as a result the specl.
men table was not burdened at a
meeting, in the trustees room of the
Public museum. The meager display
included a group of the giant clitocybe,
a poisonous variety, having a deep
orange color; a small group of the
honey mushroom; several specimens
of paneolOus: one or two fronds of the
oyster mushroom; and fungi that
we've too far gone for Identification. A
bctanst brought in several specimens
Of suuaw root, a parasite which grows
from the roots of the pine The
members of the society are amused
over reported discoveries of strange
fungi, due to discussion Of common
varieties which because OF atmos-
pheric or other influences, are not
typical In form and color. Discoveries
of strange fungi are few and far be
tween, nowadays, owing TO the dill
gent searches of wood and field by
students of mycology during recent
