HENDRIX SAYS
 LOSING SETTER
 WON'T HURT HIM

Chicago, April 2.---Cla5ude Hendrix of the Cubs is one pitcher who says he will not lose his effectiveness as pitcher by the abolition of the spit ball. He is not worrying at all about his ability in the future, he says, and is confident he will have enough skill left in the way of speed and a curve ball that will keep him in the major leagues. He has begun already to work on a twfster to take the place of the spitba1l, and plans to abolish the moist delivery in1m mediate1y, inH stead of waiting until next year.
 When I became a member of the Pittsburgh club in 1911, I was sup posed to be a spidban pitcher,'' says Hendrix. q lacked control, and did not have much success with it, and after that season virtually abandoned it, although I continued to practise master it. In 1912, the year I led the National League in pitching, I did little with the spftball, only to use it occasionally when in a. pinch. My as- set was a, curve ball. I did not have a Moredca Brown or Christy Math- ewson bender, but one that broke sharply as it sailed over the plate. l also had a slow curve that I used as a change of pace.
 With that year in mind, you see I have no cause to worry about my ability. I think I can return to the plain curve ball pitching, and be as

TO
 CONTINUE FIGHT
DuPont, Prominent Repub- lican, Exerts His In
 f1uence

Dover, Del, April 2-Despite the decisive defeat yesterday by the lower house of the Delaware legislature Of the resolution to ratify the woman suffrage movement, friends of the measure said today that it was by no means dead, as a ratification reSolu- ton is still in the senate and the parliamentary situation is not such as to make it impossible to reconsider the vote in the House.
 Sufragist leaders were greatly en- couraged by the announcement late last night that Alfred I. DuPont would support the resolution and de clared they would make every effort to have it reconsidered in the House when the legislature reassembles on Monday. Until last night MT. DuPont, who exerts a. powerful influence in Republican politics of the state had assumed a neutral attitude in the suffrage fight
 The suffragists claim the House. has three executive days to reconsider yesterdays vote and that if this fails. the Senate measure can be brought into the House at any time for con- sideradon if it is passed by the upper branch. Yesterdays vote of 26 to $, they declare, was not an indication of their potential strength, as they had 15 votes in line for the resolution if they could have mustered three more, IS being required to ratffy. Should the House decide to reconsider it's action the suffratgists expressed confidence today that they could win over these three additional votes and at the same time hold the 15 condi- tional pledges in line.
 '"The House voted down ratifica- tion,'' said Miss Alice Paul, 'Fbut this does not mean that Delaware will nor ratify. We were twice defeated in West Virginia but finally won out. They think they have finished with suffrage in this state but they are
 mistaken. The fight has only just begun"
 The -sunragists were elated over their victory and declared there was no possibility that Delaware would be the thirty-sixth state to ratify the amendment, the requisite number for the enfranchisement of American women.
