The Constitution itself provides one. and

The other perfectly legal and adequate
remedy-as Daniel Webster caimed-was
stated in the famous Reply to Hayne, which,
as some historians have said had the force Of
a constitutional amendment
Mr. Webster argued, that the Constitution
IS net contract, and does not form League,
but IS constitution proper and creates

Mr. Webster, the Great "Exponder'' Of
the Homiltonian school, was himself the
superb lawyer who frequently appeared in
the Il. ;. Supreme Court, to combat the con-
stitutlonality of State laws and acts of Con-
gress.

TIGERS.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DETROIT, Mich, April with a
record of having won three out of seven
games from the New York Giants. with
Tyrus Cobb not playing. and the Nc
Grawites being credited with being a
wonderful team. this years Tigers will
open the season Wednesday with Cleve-
land. a much-improved proposition over
last year. There is no calculating
Cobbs additional strength. and the fact
that the Tigers played splendid ball
during the spring season has caused
the Detroit fans to sit up and notice.
Crawford was slated for the bench this
year. but his wonderful hitting has
simply compelled his reinstatement in
right field.
Witt is the only holdout and there is
little chance of his coming back at the
new salary offered. Should the Tigers
get off well and Jennings have an idea
that the pennant chances would be bet
tered by Wits playing at third, he may
be forgiven and his old pay restored.
Jones. who has been covering third, has
played "spotty' ball, one game good
and one game bad, but at that he may
hang on.

Mcbride is almost sure 10 start tne
season at short. Crane. his rival for
the job, can do about everything that
Mac can. He can cover even more
ground, and although he is not the
master hand at touching runners at
second that Mac is. he is by no means
weak at this feature of play. Crane
has not demonstrated that he can out
hit Capt. George, however, and this. to-
sether with the steadying influence
that Mcbride brings to bear on MS
teammates at critical junctures< just
about settles it that Mcbride Will be
seen at his old position again at the
outset, even though Crane is used fire.
uuently after the season gets under
way Griffith is sincere in his deter
miuation to play Crane at short, in line
with his policy of injecting new blood
into the team. but naturally Will not
do this regardless OF the erect IL VIII
have on the strength of the team. If
he finds he has increased batting power
which seems apparent he might feel
justified in using Crane al short even
though Sam does not look strong with
the stick. in order to take advantage of
the Youngsters fiashy fielding.
If Joe Judge starts off batting at a
clip that promises to earn for him the
s5oO bonus offered in case he bats 2S5
or better. it is not likely he will be
molested at first, but in case he shows
signs of weakness against southpaw
pitching Shanks will be placed there
when southpaws are opposing Wash
ington.
Leonard at third, has not been hit
ting any too well this spring. and un-
less he picks up in this department soon
it is possible that Foster may be showed
over to the far corner and Ray Morgan
placed at second. Shanks is another
possibility for third base. Hank likes
to play there and if he gives evidence
of starting off with his usual spring
batting rush Griffith is sure to take ad-
vantage of those base hits by having
him somewhere in the line-up, either at
third, first or in the outf1eld.
AS for his pitchers Griff processes to
have no worry. He declares that in
johnson, Gallia, Shaw, Du Mont, Ayers
and Craft he has the best corps of
righthanders in the league. With
off of several years from mound work,
and Harper expected shortly to be in
shape to demonstrate his old-time
prowess, he regards himself as suffi-

State. Tuesday the State nine faces
Lafayette. which last week met defeat

Wednesday Boston College is to be the

Fahey. Catholic University's veteran
pitcher. is right handler and pitches
with his right arm. However. he has
astonished the spectators at Brookland
ball games by the facility with which
he throws with his left. Fahey is such
a good hitter that Charley Moran uses
him in right field when not pitching,
and while playing out there Fahey puts
the glove on his right hand. and when
he makes catch shoots the ball in
with his left. Notwithstanding that he
is right handed. Fahey experiences not
the least trouble in throwing the ball
accurately and with speed from deep
right field to the plate. 1t is an accom- :
pllshment few ball players possess
