The one method with which we are familiar calls for the passage of a resolution by Congress calling for an amendment, followed by ratification of the proposed amendment by the legislatures of three-fourtof the states. The other provides for passage by any state legislature of a demand for an amendment and then ratification of that deof mand by the legislature of the states. The second method bypasses Congress entirely. The Los Angeles Times referred to this method of amendment as a "club provided for the states for the protection of states rights." It is now being considered ns a method of repeating the amendment that made possible the levying of fedhs two-thir- eral income taxes. This would force the national government out of the field of tax revenue and leave it to the states to provide for state exthe penditures and would stop grants in aid Shot now represents the largest of the national governs-me- n I out of federal taxes in exchange for which the state I surrender much of their sovereignty.

That would be in line with what Congress has been talking without making any attempt to effectuate their idea.

Read Article V of the Constitution of the United States. It is there, with the processes required well stated. A constitutional convention is in the making.

Just about every time we turn around and face a new direction we seem to find more work for the new baseball commissioner. We have heard many arguments commissioner will have little to do. You wont find two cleaner, more honest operators than Ford Frick and Will Harridge, the two league presidents. But apparently the various club owners wont allow them much working space. If so, I don't believe they would have allowed these ball stupid five, six or seven-innin- g games. A ball game is supposed to be nine Innings, just as a golf course is supposed to be 18 holes or a football game four periods. The state of Pennsylvania has a 7 oclock curfew law on Sundays. So teams playing the Athletics might as well take a set of dice to the ball park and play it that way. The National League has a far fairer rule. Unfinished games in Philadelphia or Pittsburgh are simply called suspended games, says Ford Frick. They must be finished later. I might add that I am in favor of games called by rain after the fourth inning. A game is legal after tour and a half or five innings. But I dont believe in g four and one half and ball games. Id like to see such games' completed later. Ford Frick happens to be one of the most farsighted of all the group that run baseball He certainly has a big jump on the American League in this respect. five-inin- The Racing Race In the past few years one stable, has dominated racing to a large extent. Maine Chance started the stampede six or seven years back when Mrs. Graham had a full list of thoroughbred stars. Last year Mrs. Dodge Sloans Brookmeade, handled by Preston Burch, took over. Those were the only two gaps In Calumets winning record. It is now different in the waning season of 1951. Calumet is still strong. But so are Brookmeade, Greentree, George Wide n e rs stable and one or two others, inCalumet, Citation cluding C. V. Whitney. gave the Jones boys a big lift So did Wistful and Bewitch. But Calumet must now come on with a new crop to meet the challenge of Greentree, Brookmede, Wldener and others. George Widener has set some sort of a record by offering the top of 1951 without winning the Derby, Preakness or Belthree-year-ol- mont His Battlefield has been the most consistent horse of the year in the three-year-o- ld division. Uncle Miltie was the big disappointment of the season after a brilliant start You can write this down as a big season for the Whitneys and Johnny Gaver of Greentree, who have moved up with a rush in the last two months. East and West The Next Football Season No one, not even a professional pessimist has to worry about the next college football season. Not even West Points trouble can slow it down. But if there should be any slowing down the pro game will haul in all the slack. This was pretty well proved by two opening attendance figures in Los Angeles and Chicago last week. Each mark came to some 92,000 paid customers, a total of 184,000 for the two opening games.

Next to actual field shooting at game, clay target busting" provides best practice for the scatter-gu- n fan and firing at stationary targets or moving targets on established ranges is the rifle and pistol meat. In fact, shooters shooting is about the best practice a wingshot can have, as it allows him full and easy opportunities to correct shooting errors, find out about leads and learn to quickly adjust himself to his gun. Handtrap Will Do If, however, no clay target shooting is handy and no shooting range facilities are available, a handtrap can provide grand, Inexpensive and Informal sport and a basement range with proper bullet-catch- er can easily be rigged up. Even If these are not practical for the time being, the shooter need not discontinue the practice he needs so much, according to Gail Evans, manager. Advertising and Shooting Promotion Division, Remington Arms Company, Inc. There is another form of shooting practice which is of great value to the individual and which can be brought into play almost anywhere and any time, says Evans. This is known as dry shooting' and merely consists of simulated firing with an empty gun. This sort of practice Is really a MUST for the beginner and the seasoned gunner quite often brushes up on his gun handling through this method. The best way to become accustomed to a new gun, or the old one, too, for that matter. Is by handling it frequently. If it is a shot gun, raise it to your shoulder quickly, align the sights and swing on an imaginary target Do this as fast as you can. Then after you have pressed the trigger and com. h pleted the swing check your shooting position. This Includes the position of your cheek on the stock, the position of the gua butt on your shoulder and the align ment of the gun barreL Make th necessary corrections and do ths same thing over again.
