He worked in the first game against
the Giants in that series and took
their measure In easy fashion.
McGraw figured that the Pirates
would sen Hendrix back at the Gil
ants again in the last game. And be
knew that Hendrix, confident and
cocky through the first easy victory
might duplicate the trick unless he
(McGraw) could rob the said Mr.. Hen
dirk of that confidence.
So after the first game McGraw
halted Hendrix as he was hustling
to the clubhouse.
Mice game you pitched, my boy, ii
said McGraw, in sort of fatherly
way Nice work. By the way, what
are the Pirates paying you?"
Hendrix told him. II wasn't any
big salary, as salaries go these war
time days, but il was a pretty big
salary for a youth just fresh from
the bushes And Hendrix was proud
of that salary.
How much?" asked McGraw again
in seeming surprise.
Hendrix repeated the figures.
Huh" grunted McGraw sarcastical
". And then he walked away.
That huh" sunk home. II changed
Hendrix right there from a satisfied
confident, somewhat conceited youth
to one sans conceit, to one lacking
his former confidence and made him
somewhat dissatisfied.
And in the next game Hendrix

FEDSNOT minor LEAGUERS
TO JUDGE BY COMPARISON

that the Federal ranks are cluttered
up with has-beens and unknowns-
while our line-ups, especially our
pitching stats, are all-star combina-
tons.
Listed among the all-star combina-
tons of pitchers is that of the De-
troit Tigers Their all-stars consist of
Dauss, Dubuc, Ball, Shepard, Cayet,
Covalskie, Williams, Schultz, Mains,
Reynolds, Comstock and Boehler.
Maybe they are stars, but somebody
ought to push away the clouds that
hide them.
The Pittsburgh Pirates also boast of
their all-star pitching staff. Here it
is: McQuillen, O'Toole, Adams, Har-
mon, Councilman, Delhi, Duffey, and
Kantlehener. The last four seem
quite unfamiliar to us-perhaps be-
cause we didn't follow the bush league
history very closely last year. Me-
CULLEN was resurrected from the mi
nors last season and Harmon seems to
have seen his very best days.
included In the all-StarS that the
Phillies are toting around, are lineup
Mayer, Marshall, Jacobs. Gaddy and
Raislip. If the whole bunch were
placed en- the market right now it's
doubtful If they would bring enough
money to buy one good, fret class
twirler
The Pirates had on their catching
staff Messrs. Gibson, Coleman, Kafore,
Brannigan, and Wait The name of
Gibson seems quite familiar, but we
don't recall having seen the names of
the other gentlemen in the list of
catching stars.
And so it is with large number
of the organized baseball major
league clubs. Their catching and
pitching staffs are pretty we'll clut-
tered up with unknowns. It's quite
likely that some of these youngsters
will develop into real finds-will be-
come known in a few years as among
the greatest stars of the game. But
what's true of organized baseball can
be true just as well with the Feds,
They have some youngsters on their
rosters. Some may prove to be
1''bloomderZ," others may rise to star
dom. - ~@&$ <
So what's the use of o. B. throwing
stones at the Feds when they aren't
much better off than their rivals?

NEW YORK.-Clutching II from the
remarks being cast hither and thither
by Organized Baseball, the Federal
league is a minor league proposition.
But Organized Baseball's own little
rules give the Federal league a ma
jor league status.
These rules show the difference be-
tween q minor and major league. A
league that has to conform to a sal
airy limit and whose players are sub
iect tossdraft by teams in another
league is a minor. league. A league
that has no salary limit and whose
players are not subject to draft is a
major league.-4.-,
Therefore, the Feds stack up as a
major league They pay unlimited
salaries sand their players are not
subject to draft.
Organized Baseball, in rebuttal, de-
clares that despite these facts the
Federal is not a major league because
its players are not of major league
calibre. But before they made such
6 statement it might have been we'll
for them to look back through the
newspaper files of the past few
months and read some of the remarks
they made at that time.
1t may be recalled that early in
January when the Feds began to loom
largely on the baseball horizon some
Of the magnates of the Organized ma
Jors thought that a way to combat the
Feds would be to abolish the draft
rule, as applied to the Glass A teams,
let these leagues pay unlimited salar-
les and thus lift them to the major
league classification
Plan Fails.
For q time it looked as if the plan
would go through but some of the
magnates of the majors were so sure
that the Feds would blow up before
the 1914 season opened that they
thought the move a foolish one. Yet
at the time, the majority of the mag
mates declared that the players OF the
Glass AA minors were of such calibre
that they almost ran as majors and
that some of the best clubs in the
Class IA minors we're far better than
some Of the clubs in either the Amer
lean or National league
Therefore, it seems as if the Organ
lied persons who are calling the Feds
a minor league outfit seem to be fooz-
ling a bit. The Feds for the most part
are made up of players grabbed from
either the majors or the Glass AA
minors. With 60 major leaguers in
their ranks and with practically the
rest Of their players recruited from
the Glass AA teams-the very same
teams that the Organized majors some
months back figured on giving ma
jOr league status = =
The Organized Baseball people
ought to recall the remarks about
those who live in glass cottages
shouldn't heave brickbats-and then
heed the subtle advice. The o. b.
people each and every day declare

Declares Suffrage
Has Won Out

The question Of whether or not a
majority of all the votes cast at all
election is necessary to the adoption
of a constitutional amendment, or
whether a majority Of all votes cast
upon the question of the adoption
or rejection of the constitutional
me by the Silver State for an opin-
ion.
The question grows out of the sub
constitutional amendment, commonly
called The Suffrage Amendment
The requirements of law are not dif-
ferent on that, than on the adoption
or rejection of any amendment 70
the Nevada state constitution.
Section l of Article 10 provides
the procedure leading up to the sub
mission of constitutional amend
ments to a vote of the people, and
provides also for the vote. That
portion of the section referred to
pertaining to the submission of the
uestion to the people reads as fol-
lows:
"And if the people shall approve
and ratify such amendment OF
amendments by a majority Of the
electors qualified to vote for mem
|Ders of the Legislature voting there
on, such amendment or amendments
shall become a part Of the consti-
tution.'
At first reading it might appear
that the paragraph referred to re-
quires a majority of those who Wete
qualified to vote for members Of the
last legislature. but hat question is
eliminated by the decision of the SIT
preme court of the state of Nevada
i'll the case of State versus State
Board of Examiners, p New. 81. In
| that case the court holds that the
words voting thereon do not refer
to the words members of the legis-
lature' in the paragraph quoted
above as their antetedeNt and con-
s%equently do not limit the right to
vote upon the question of ratification
of the proposed amendment to cleo
tors who were qualified to vote for
members OF the legislature who VOC
ed upon the proposed amendment.
All electors Of the state are entitled
to vote upon the submission of a
I proposed amendment.
1t is a fair construction of the
paragraph quoted above in the light
OF the decision referred to, to say
that it means that the proposed con-
stitutiOnal amedment shall be ap-
