DISMISS CHARGE
AGAINST VACHER
POLICE COMMISSIONERS DIS
POSE OF COMPLAINTS
Letter Introduced in Evidence Gem
tains Reference to Position occu-
pied by Man Who Was un.
der investigation

Whatever may be the arguments for
and against Thomas Vacher's cennec-
ton with the Humane Animal league
and the city pound. it was evident Mrs.
L. E. Geise and George l.. Lawson had
a slender case against Vacher before
the police commission last night. The
commission held that idea, at any rate,
and when three witnesses on each side
had been examined ordered the charge
dismissed.
Mrs. Giese charged that Vacher had
obtained his commission as special po-
liceman by fraudulently representing
that he was deputy pound master, and
asked that the special commission be
revoked. This was supported by an
affidavit signed by George L. Lawson
in which it was stated that Lawson
when he was pound master had not
appointed Vacher his deputy and that
Vacher had made misrepresentation to
the city clerk when he had himself
sworn in as chief deputy.
! While no evidence was produced to
show that any one had ever said to
| Vacher in so many wrods Il appoint
you chief deputy" sufficient evidence
was given, even by the witnesses for
the prosecution, to demonstrate to the
satisfaction of the police commission
that he did the work of such officer
and that he did it by the sanction Of
DR.. w. A. Lamb, who was first pound
master; George L. Lawson, who sue
ceeded Lamb, and e. S. Fields, who
succeeded Lawson and is the present
pound master.
DIR. Lamb declared that, while he
might have referred to Vacher as his
chief deputy, he had it fixed in his own
mind that the position would not be
permanent and that he hired Vacher
as deputy to do some of the work with
which he had become familiar while
the Vachers had the dog pound under
the old SYSTEM. In letter signed by
Lawson, and which was produced in
evidence, Vacher was referred to as
chief deputy pound master. On the
strength of this evidence the commits
sion concluded the charges had nor
been sustained.

FACULTY DOWNS
PREP SENIORS
PROFESSORS ANNlHILATE THE
COMING GRADUATE
Final Score Is 80 to 6 and Might Have
Been Worse--Teachers Are JoI-
lied, but Prove Puzzles to
Younger Men

The proud spirit of the seniors Of
Polytechnic high was bowed in deep
humiliation yesterday afternoon on St.
Vincents baseball field, when the Poly
faculty baseball nine scored a victory
by the multitudinous score of 30 to s.
1t was a complete and decisive ami
hilation, for before the game the senior
ball tossers, CARRIED in pajamas, over
alls and other ludicrouS apparel, fol-
lowed by a throng of enthusiastic sup
porters, marched about the field sing
ing the awful massacre they were
about to inflict on the faculty nine.
1t took but one inning, the first, to
put O different phase on the question,
and from that period until the finish
the faculty had the fun and exempli-
fed the saying that "he who laughs
last laughs best.
When Professor Wisler, the umpire,
who obligingly forgot that he was pres
ident of the Sunday School Baseball
league, called time, Professor Roullier
trotted to the pitchers box, while Pro-
fessor Redmond went behind the tim
Der for the faculty. Much comment
was made because Professor Rouiller
carried a book under his arm, and he
was jollied about studying the rules
before the game. But the wise ones
were fooled, for before pitching each
bali the professor would consult his
book, with the result that the seniors
got but one tally in their inning.
The faculty larruped the curves Of
Abbott, the senior pitcher, for six runs
in their half, and silence as ominous
as that of a graveyard enshrouGed the
senior delegation.
In the second inning Kurlee, the Sc
nior catcher, knocked a sky twister
that went further In the air than did
ever the airship OF Count Zeppelin.
Professor RoulIier glanced at the high
fly, hastily opened his book and then
with a weird and uncertain plunge in
the air caught the ball in his left hand,
and with that hand behind his back.
1t was the most wonderful catch ever
seen on ball field and took every par
ticle of spirit out of the seniors. The
question arose as to what the reading
of that book had to do with pitching
and the sensational catch.
When the faculty came into bat a
freshman was bribed to get that book
with a penalty of a severe hazing if
he failed. The freshman accomplished
his purpose and to the establishment
of tho seniors it was found to be a
book on plane geometry. The thumb
stained page, which had been read by
the professor before his phenomonal
catch, explained everything, for on the
page was the solution of "how to find
the hypothenuse of a right angle trl-
angle, which method had been applied
by the professor in making his catch
The book had also been consulted and

seniors and Prof. Roullier was put out

ACADEMIC LEAGUE
WILL END DISPUTE
Question Hinges on Nature of APP
polntment of NewmIre as One of
Judges at Recent
Contests

L. M. Barker of Orange, who was
one of the judges at the disputed dual
athletic meet between Polytechnic and
Los Angeles high, said yesterday that
the dispute whether Throop of Poly
or Rubio of Los Angeles high should
have second place in the 50-yard dash
will be settled at a meeting Of the
Academic league to be held in Los
Angeles next Saturday.
Barker bases the stand which he has
taken in the dispute on the question
whether Newmire, who acted as the
judge and gave the decision was duly
appointed.
IF it can be shown" said Mr.. Bar
ker, beyond a reasonable doubt that
Newmire had no authority to render
the decision 1 will vote with the other
judges to give the disputed point to
Poly, which will mean that Los An
geles high will have to relinquish the
cup.
"All I desire is to have the matter
settled in an equitable manner. 1 have
no preference nor any partisan feeling
in the controversy. I will act as my
Judgment dictates and will no doubt
arrive at a fair decision after discuss
ing the question with the other judges"

SHEPPARD WINS GREAT RACE.
Beats Gissing by Two Inches in st
GregorY's Games.

NEW YORK, November 27-The games
of ST. Gregory the Great took place last
night at the I'D Regiment armory before
a crowd of about 1000 persons. The
main event Of the night was 5:yO-yard
scratch event, the main contenders being
NJ. w. Sheppard and W. C. Robbins of
the Irish American. Athletic Club and
Harry Gissing of the. New York Athletic
Club. AS an instance of sharp eyesight
and keen calculation the verdict was a
striking example, for it was said that
Sheppard won by two inches from CHS
sing. There was an idea all around that
the decision would make it dead heat,
but the judges thought different
Soon after the crack of the gun Shep-
pard rushed for the pole and kept it
until the last time on the backstretch for
home. Then by a consistent plugging
Gissing drew level with the Irishman, but
the New York Athletic Club man was on
the outside and had but a poor chance
OF doing much around the bend. How
ever, the pair raced to the worsted and
Sheppard won by the inches. j. NJ Ro-
senberger. another Hibernian, was third,
and W. c. Robbins OF the Irish American
Athletic Club was unplaced. Sheppard s
time OF Los 30 is a new indoor record
There were two other notable perform
ances. Egon Erickson of the Mott Haven
Athletic Club cleared 4 feet = inches in
the running high jump and he made a
, fine attempt at 6 feet 4 inches. David V.
Noble of the New York Athletic Club won
the mile handicap off the forty-five mark
in the good time of 4.24 1-5.
