Nye Issue 70 BE Fought
A majority Of the comTpittee, In
GLIDING all Republicans aid several
Democrats, was said 70 feel that
Governor "a. q. sorlie. Of North
Dakota, was without authority to
appoint Nye.
The committees report, while
likely to be upheld In the end by
the Senate Is, expected to provoke
considerable debate. The issue
raised involves not only the Ques-
ton as to whether q United States

temporarily II that power has not
been specifically conferred on him
BY his State legislature.
The latter issue was raised BY the.
senate's constitutional lawyers who
saw in Govarnof Sorlie'a action
what they termed an attempt to-
cvade the spirit ;cE the Seventeenth
Amendment which provided for The
direct election or senatOrs.
The lawyers SnatOrs c0ntended
Soriie delayed calling q special elec-
ton until June, 1926, to I'LL the.
Ladd, who died last June. solely to
give Nye the opportunity to serve
through the long session Of the
present Congress.
Delay Condemned
AS Ladd's term would have end
ed in March, 1927, the successor
elected next June will serve only
through the three months short
session beginning next December.
The c0nstitutionaligts held that
SOrlie could have called q special
election during the summer IL he
had desired to carry out the spirit
Of the law, thus giving the elected
successor two full years in the
Senate.
The factions, both Republican
and Democrat, who support Nye's
claim, believe a real doubt exists
over the legality Of Sorlie's action
but desire to give North Dakota
its full quota of Senators during
the present long session.
If Nye should be refused his
seat, North Dakota will have but
one Senator for the next year.

RENAULT IS DEFEATED BY SHARKEY IN BOSTON

Boston, April 7.-Jack Sharkey. Boston heavyweight boxer, was awarded the judges decision at the end of his ten round bout with Jack Eenault, of New York, here last night.
 Reaault was slo win starting and points piled up by Sharkey in the early rounds proved sufficient to give the Boston boxer the decision which, however. was close. Kenault weighed l95 pounds and sharkey IS6@i.
 The former Canadian heavy weight was content to stand of the attacks of sharksy during the first four rounds. In the fifth for the first time, he used his right to ad- vantage. He showed to advantage in the inhghting in subsequent rounds. The defense of both men was good and the bout was fea- tCred chiefly by thr boxing. There were no knockdowus.

Witty Solution

It is a matter of record that dur ing the past 20 years there haven't been over a half dozen star major ball players of Hebrew extraction. In this connection it is a. most interesting fact that there are no more enthusiastic fans in the coun- try than the Jews. Their patron age does much to make baseball the remarkable financial success that it is.
 A star of the type of Collins, Ruth, Speaker. Vance or Johnson would be a mint in New York if he were of Hebrew parentage.
 John McGraw of the Giants. quick to sense such a possibility, had a player by the name of Solomon last year. who he hoped would make the grade and be big favorite with the New York audiences. He failed to stick.
 Getting back to the question of the scarcity of Jewish ball players in the majors, which Jennings best ex- plained, Jack Bentley, star pitcher of the Giants, ended the discussion with a humorous explanation which was new to me. If you have heard it before I pass the buck to Bentley.
 What Jennings says about the scarcity of Jew ball players in the majors is probably right" said Bent ley. but I have always understood it was because they just wouldn't step on a diamond"

GLENNA COLLETT IS us. BEST BET
Many Golfers Expect Her to Win
 in England

New York. April '. Upon the hifting prowess of demure miss of Providence, R, r., and a shiny new dime given her by John D. Rocke- feller. are pinned hopes that an American will become queen of the British links and empress of worlds golfdom this year for the first time, Having won every title on the | links this side of the Atlantic she sought before she was old enough to vote, Miss Glenna Collett Is leaving shortly to seek the British women's open title at Trcon. Scotland. in the tournament beginning May IS. ' Golfers who have followed her scintillating career at national, east crn and southern championships in the United States are certain that she has the ability 10 win British laurels, even against the clever Miss Joyce Wethered, present British l titleholder. sister of another famous golfer, and far ahead of other links women of Great Britain.
 But there must be considered the matter of breaks of the game on the blustery seaside course at froon, and also the jinx that seems to have pursued American golfers of both sexes in their quests of honors in the birthplace of the royal and ancient game. Perhaps the dime which the SS year old linksman gave recently to the young feminine star at Or mond Beach, Fla, for good luck. will have an effect in this counec- | ton.
 None Has Yet Won
 No American girl has yet won the British title, although such stars as Miss Alexa Sterling, of Atlanta, and Miss Edith Cummings have tried 1t. And while both the British amateur and open titles have been won by American male golfers. it was only after several attempts. Walter Hagen, now British open champion, fared poorly in his first quest for this noted cup. Francis Ouimet,
  Bobby Jones and Chick Evans are others whom fortune seems 10 have deserted when on the links in the British Isles.
 Miss Collett has victories over noted British linkswomen to her credit, however. When she won the American national women's title in 1922, her opponent in the final round was Mrs. W. A, Gavin. then com peting from club in the New York district, but who has since returned 10 live in her native England.
