Earl Moseley, Mordecal Brown, Cy
 Rarger, Ed Reulbach and all the other
 veteran moundsmen who performed so
 splendidly with the Feds, have passed
 cut. Nothing is heard now of the Fed phenoms.
 Many of the men who were paid
 huge salaries to jump organized base
 ball and who made a record with the
 Feds,- failed when they came back to
 the organized circuits. They starred
 for awhile-some of them-but they were mere Flashes in the pan" Of all the Feds who were promi- rent in 1915. only twelve are still in major league baseball and only a
 few are ranked among the truly greats.
 Outfielder Max Black, Pitcher sClaude Hendrix and Third Baseman Charley Deal are with the Cubs. Johnny Tobin Is outfielding for the Browns. Dave Davenport is an American league pitcher. Kauff is with the Giants Bill lRariden and Eddie Roush are with the Ieds, after serving awhile with the Giants. Ed Konetchy is first basins | for the Brooklyn Dodgers. Bunny
 Hearne is still pitching in the majors ! hut not with exceptional success. How | ard Ehmkc is a moundsman for the | Tigers and the other relic of the Fed oral league is Jack Quinn, who IS heaving them over for the Yankees. And so 1t will be seen that of tho
 Feds still in major league harness, there are four in the American league
 and eight in the National.

 1T T is only four seasons ago since II the Federal league passed out; S only four years since scores of the once time outlaws" were given jobs in either the National or the American league. And yet today only twelve are still wearing major league regalia.
 Bennie Kauff was the sensation Of the Feds; the men who was expected to rival Ty Cobb in every branch or Llay. He was given his chance with the Giants and although Kauff has played first-clas baseball through all If the seasons since then, his show ing ranks him many notches below the southern typhoon.' Kauff was great with the Federals-but has proven to be only a good player In the National.
 Lee Magee was "runner-up" to kauff. He was sold to the Yankees for $22,500 They thought they had secured a bargain But Magee fliv- vered sadly He could not make good with the Yankees and eventually went to the Browns. Then he was waived into the National league, found job with the Reds and later with the Cubs Now he is out of baseball altogether

Joe Wilhoit Is Being w atched
 By Baseballers

Baseball students are watching Joe Will
 holt, recently sent to the Toledo club or
 the American Association by the Boston
 Red sox. Joe seems to be just little
 too good for the bush leagues, yet not quite good enough for the big show. Some students of the game believe he will agaln land in the majors--the National League, too-and that he will again demonstrate te that senior league acumen is keener than
 that of the Johnson circuit.
 Wilhoit made his plunge into maJor
 league circles with the Boston Braves
 His debut was impressive. but short lived. Gradually he fell down in his work with
 the biudgeon, and what is worse, he iei
 down in his brainwork to such a markeu
 degree that Manager Stallings shipped
 him to the minors, more as punishment than because he believed the youngster Tn need of seasoning.
 But Wilhoit, going true to form, burned up the minors and won another major
 league berth. This time it was the Bos- ton Red Sox that gave him the ii1t. Bue again he failed to show thet class that was expected in the majors, and now ne
 is wearing Toledo regaiia, where every student of the pastime expects 10 near of him doing wonderful things.
 Many players have been discarded by American League managers, only to re- turn and star in the older circuit Lavah turned the trick, Chase did 1t too, Olson failed in Cleveland but he shone bril- liantly at Brooklyn. What does the fu- tura hold for Joe Wilhoit? Is the Ma tional more successful with these come backs than the American, because or more careful handling, or is Dame For tune always with the senior leagueF <.
 Roush. Ring and Filler of the Reds all ih.d taste of American League life, but they failed to clinch berth. Who
 will doubt their right to place in base ball stardom now? Was it careful man agement? Wat it plain luck? Bill kiiiiier is another example The Browns had Bill once. but he fafed to stick. Joe Will holt is going to be watched this season, and if he shows the slightest signs or calss such as that which marked ms
 work at Wichita he will be grappeo ns hv no less than five National League club owners-and all of them have promised
 to give him every chance in the world.

 Wherever he has been in the southern tiex of counties the candidate fayoring the manufacture and sale of light wines and beer under modification of the Vol stead act has spoken to large audiences and has received many assurances of support He addressed courtroom full of Houston county voters here yesterday, when he attacked the methods used for the enforcement of the Eighteenth amendment from a new angle. in addi- tion to the arguments he heretofore has used against it.
 Tt is contended that under the con- current power conferred upon the states by Section of the Eighteenth amend- ment the Volstead act is not in force and effect in any state which has faile1 to pass laws for the enforcement of the Eighteenth amendment" he said.
 "Section of the Eighteenth amend m6QI gress and the several states shall have concurrent power to enforce this amend ment by appropriate legislation" If the several states are to have concurrent power to enforce the Eighteenth amend ment, then each state would be author ized to concur only in what meets it's own peculiar needs and circumstances. provided the manufacture and sale of ir- toxicating liquors for leverage purposes is prohibited.
 sTt was realized by the framers of the amendment is claimed, that to subject any state in the anion in the regulation of the personal habits of it's inhabitants to the absolute con- trol of an outside authority would not only create grave dissatisfaction. but conviction that they were subjected to. an intolerable tyranny.
 Tn my judgment. the authorities are to the effect that the enforcement law of Congress is not in force in any state unless there is a concurrence or proper legislation to -he congressional Legislation There must be a concur renee between each state and Con eress before any enforcement law en- scted by Congress can be operative. TO hold otherwise, 1t seems to me. would pnllifv the meenin~ of tbe would nullify the meaning of the irg of Jurisdiction in the states to en- fierce the amendment nueztory and meaningless.

Auto Races To
 Be Held May l
 At Fair Grounds

The proposed auto races which the local lodge of Elks was contemplat- ing staging at the state fair grounds Saturday, May l, became certainty yesterday, when called meeting was held by the Elks' committee, repre- sentatives of several dirt track stars and President Brown and Secretary Dent of the Alabama State Fair Asso- citation.
 Entry blanks were put in last nights mail to several race drivers who are known to be in the south, and the liberal purse of s2,5oo hung up by the parties interested is expected to lure drivers here who have many records to their credit. The races are to be run under the rules and by the sanction of the h. ternational Motor Contest Association, in which about 100 of the leading drivers of the country are registered, including such well-known track stars as Ray Lampkin, Leon Duray Barney Oldfield, Sig. Haugdahl holder of the worlds mile record on a half-mile track; Kline Hoery, Clark and many others.
 It is very possible that the entries will fill promptly, as the 5O-mile sweepstake is to be run at Atlanta next Saturday, and the big gulf event at New Orleans on May z and puts the Birmingham date May1 right on the route.-
 The Elks plan several other features, in addition to the race events which they will announce shortly. A boost- ing committee will head for the Ensley lodge Monday night with the sole pur- pose of interesting that lodge in sev- eral of the stunts" that they have up their sleeve
 It is announced that the Elks VIII put their profits from the auto race in the annual Xmas tree fund.

Friendship For
 Scribes Cost Bob
 Folwell His Job

Football coaches in the east who are take a few valuable pointers from the announcement coming from the Uni versity of Pennsylvania that Coach Bob >Folwell was turned off by the Quaker officials because he was too friendly with the sport scribes. An unofficial announcement just made by Pennsylvania graduates high up in athletic affairs says Folwell paid en- tirely too much attention to sporting editors and thus incurred the enmity of those who are forever against pa- rading college athletics in the public prints.
 To fall back on the exact language of the statement: "Folwell always had time to confer with newspaper writer's but never a minute to spare when writers representing college publica- tions appeared for an interview" Fol- well does not deny the charge.
 The report that Folw9rs liking for newspaper men brought about his downfall at Penn did not surprise east ern football writers. Several times the former -coach raved and ranted when writers on college publications upset his plans by printing unauthorized in- terviews, and just as many times the college publications were forced to get their football news from Philadelphia dailies. so that there was friction be- tween these factions almost from the first month Folwell was on the job
 The announcement coming at this time can be accepted as full explana- tion of the attitude of some of Penn's publications toward Folwell when the latter was on the grill with his posi- tion at stake. It is fact that not not only the university publications but some of the departmental journals, as well, took occasion to toss a little mud at the coach. and following their activity Folwel was dismissed Tn fa- yor of John Heisman.
