the score down. Much credit must
also be given TO Prof. Hinton, OF

some remarkable base running and
made no errors at the initial base.
Others who displayed a poorly

ON POWER OF
LEGISLATURES
L. S. Court Says Federal
Amendments Cannot BE Sub.
mitted TO Popular Vote.
IMPORTANT DECISION
Action Stops Reopening of
Suffrage Question in a
Dozen States.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The su-
preme court in a unanimous opinion
Tuesday held that federal constitu-
tiOnal amendments cannot be sub
mitted to popular vote for ratihca-
lion BY states having referendum
provisions in their constitutions.
The method OF ratifying amend
lnents. the court held. is a national
power specifically granted by the

Important Question.
Next TO the cases involving the
validity OF prohibition amendment
and the enfOrcemenG the Ohio ref

most important before the supreme
court. Had the court ruled other

likely resulted, according 20 court
officials, I'm the reOpening OF the suf-

an opposite decision would unques-
Iionably have banished all hopes OF
ratification prior to the NOvembet
elections.
The decision, however, does not
affect the pending prohibition cases
as none involved that question eN-
Cept indirectly. In view of the fact
