DRYS TO BAR EVEN

Madison, Wis. Dry leaders in

drafted bill to enforce the nation

The bill provides against drink

inventors who build machines that
require burgundy or other stimu-
lants as a lubricant, and it hits new
religions that might be formed
with a drink of rye in the morning
and another in the evening as its

ever proposed in the Badger legis-

YOUNG HENDRIX MAY
HAVE ANOTHER CHANCE

Tim Hendryx, for two seasons with
the New York Yankees, is going so
well with the Louisville club of the
American association that many crit.
ics along that circuit are predicting
that he will get another opportunity
to shine in the majors. Hendryx got
trial with Cleveland some years
ago. was hent back. and his great
hitting in the Southern league led TO
his purchase by the Yankees. From
the Yanks he went to the st. Louis
Browns. and last spring he was
shunted again to the minors. He was
the first player in the American asso-
citation to make 100 hits this year,
his all-around work has been h x h
class, and now 1t appears that he
may get another chance. Hendryx
was an outfielder during his stay in
the majors, but he has been playing
third base with considerable eclat at
Louisville this season.

Carl Mays in Demand in the
American League; Case
to Be Settled Soon

BOSTON. July 26.--A merry race
is being wagcd by the owners OF sew
eral American league clubs for the
services OF Carl Mays. the under.
hand Finger of the Boston Red Sox.
now under suspension. Mays quit
the Red Sox at Chicago several days
ago. declaring that he was disguised
with conditions. He left the team
while game was going on, and
when his team mates returned %
their hotel It was discovered that
Mays had checked out and was on
his way 10 Boston.
Mays wired Manager Barrow aft
er his arrival in Boston. He de-
elared that he had been the victim
OF poor support. had lost several
tough games, and was prepared TO
retire from the game. Once this
fact became known other clubs be-
gan to make overtures for the
player. and IL Is a certainty that
Owner Harry Frazee could draw
down a large sum of money today
from any one OF three or four
clubs for Mays contract. II Is said
that Carts contract calls for $4,000
per season.
Kid Gleason was first to make a
bid, as IL was from Chicago and a
White Sox series that Mays made
his exit. The White Sox need an
other pitcher In the chase for the
pennant, and Mays would tit in
nicely with the Chicago combina-
ton. He would come close TO max
ing the Sox a pennant winner.
This fact is realized by Miller
Higgins and Lee Foil. Just as II
is by Gleason, and naturally they
are keen TO get the pitcher. or at
least have some club other than
Chicago get him. There Is little
chance OF Mays quitting baseball
as long as he can draw down $4,000
per year. Before another week
expires Mays will be back with the
Red Sox or sold TO some other
club, 1t Is expected. The retire.
ment story does not ring true.
Mays pitched for the Portland
Colts in the Northwestern league
before joining Boston.
