Fort Worth Today;
Phils Start Home

FORT WORTH, March 30.-iP)-
Bearing a seal of battle himself,
John j. McGraw led the undefeat-
ed Giants into this city today to
resume his series against the Chi
cago White Sox. already twice de-
feated by the New York team. The
Giant manager nursed a bruise in

Just before the game yesterday as

y Ready to begin their sortie
through various minor league teams
OF the Southland, the world cnar1-
plon Yankees arrived at Jackson
vile, Fla, today from their base at
st. Petersburg, where camp was
broken yesterday. Miller HuggIns
said Leo Durocher, New England
Frenchman, had won shortstop
honors over Lyn Larry, the expen-
elve addition to the Yankees from
Oakland CT the Pacific Coast
league.
The Brooklyn team at West
Palm Beach was encouraged today
by the return Of Glenn Wright
from a successful visit to a 5pe-
cialist. The former Pirate short
fielder participated in the Robins
winning rally for four runs III the
ninth yesterday to the extent Of
walking as a pinch batsman and
scoring a run. All injured arm had
prevented him playing hitherto.
The Phillies have finished with
major league opponents in the
south and soon will begin the trek
north. They played II games and
broke even, having tied the last.
Manager Shotton says he expects
Benge, Willoughby. Ferguson, Nc
Graw, Roy and Collins, right hand
ers, and Sweetland and Mlligan,
lefthanders, to do most of his
pitching.
Connie Mack. veteran boss of the
Athletics, is homeward bound. Two
of his regulars. Lefty Grove, pitch
er, and Jack Boley, shortStop, are
accompanying him to Philadelphia,
where they will undergo medical
treatment. Grove is unable to grip
a ball because of a manned finger
on his pitching hand, and Boley's
arm, sore since he started training,
has not yielded to treatment here.
The worries of Manager Jack
Hendricks concerning his Cincin-
natl Red outfield appear to be at
an end. The Reds took on the
Montreal Royals at Daytona Beach
yesterday and largely through the
work of Allen, Purdy and Crabtree,
won a 5-to-4 decision. The out
field trio scored four of the five
runs and secured five OF the Il hits,
Allen and Crabtree each contrib
uting q homo run.

AUSTIN, Texas, March 30.-(P)-
The same band of cinderpath kings

Texas relay records by shattering Is
and equalling two marks, moved on
Dallas today in quest Of other titles.
Upon Claude Bracey, the South

fell the spotlight through his per-
fcrmance at Austin, in lettering
the intercollegiate record in the
1O0-yard dash and equalling Char
ley Paddock's world 9.5 second
mark in the century. Whether the
time would be recognized by the
intercollegiate Athletic association
was undetermined today, but ev-
cry judgs at the finish line clicked
the Dixie Filler at the re~cord-break-
ing pace. Nor was Bracey's record
the only inroad on past feats OF
the cinderpath. Four Illinois uni
versity giants sped to a spectacular
victory in the four-mile University

quartet who in 1922 were timed at

 Another important development since January 1 is the inauguration of the air mail between the United States and Central America and to the islands of the Car ibbean. Within few months time the air mail will be serving Southeastern Alaska.
 Womans part in aviation was also emphasized by the recordbreakng solo endurance ieht for women by Miss Robbie Trout who remained in the air than 12 hours; also by Miss Amelia Earharts flight with the Gen. tral American mail
 We have heard of the remarkable flights made by Aaskas Ace Ben Eelson, and Sir Captain George Will kns in the Antarctic and of the exploits of Byrd With two nonstop flights around the world planned for this summer and the Spanish aviator who will top the Aleu- ian chain in the spring. and other ambitious flights being planned throughout the world it looks though 1929 is going to be another great flying year.

The states in existence at the time
of the drafting Of the Constitution of
the United States had constitutions Of
their own and it was upon these that
the federal one was patterned. The
states developed their documents from
Colonial charters, which in turn were
modelled upon the careers Of mercan-
tile companies Of the Fifteenth and
Sixteenth centuries. Massachusetts Is
the only state which retains the con-
stituton framed at that period, but II
has been revised and amended. All
the states, however, in their modern
constitutions retain many Of the prin
ciples and much Of the framework OF
the older documents.
