BILLY SITTERDING PITCHES

With Billy Sitterding in the role OF
pitcher. Georgetown's crippled team took
the measure of the Rock Hill College nine
yesterday. 6 to 3. Sitterding didn't have
much in the way of curves and pitching
essentials, but he did good enough work
to get away with the game, and he must
be given the credit for stepping into the
box and winning his game when there
was no one else to be depended on. F1enll,
the only other pitcher who reported. hav-
ing a lame back and being unable to
work.
And at that Sitterding pitched about as
good a game as did Boland for the Rock
Hill team. OF course, he was up against
a poorer class of hitters, but then 1t must
be considered that Boland Is q regular
twirler.
From the first, although no scoring was
done until the fourth inning, 1t was ap-
parent that Georgetown was the better
ball club. The men handled themselves
more like ball players and played better
Teams Field Well.
The fielding Of both teams was excep-
tionally good Both pitchers were hit
rather hard. but fast work by the men
back of them cut off would-be runs in
several instances. But one error was
made by the Rock Hill College team,
while Georgetown had two scored against
1t. The visitors error came when Benltz
fumbied Furys hard smash to short,
while both Of Georgetown's miscues were
charged against Davis. the Blue an
Gray third baseman missing an easy
grounder and throwing wild to first once,
when he picked up a ball and started to
throw to second to start double play.
Connolly failed to cover up. and then.
changing his direction suddenly, made
wild heave to irst.
In the third Rock Hill looked as though
1t would score run when two hits were
made with one down, but the next two
men were easy outs. Rock Hill scored
its first run in the fourth. Theabaud, first
up, singled to left. Hinchman was out.
Connolly to Feenan. Then Trexis singled
between first and second, scoring Thea
baud. The next two men were easy outs.
Georgetown evened up matters in Its half
of the same chapter. Cogan and Fury
singled, putting a man on first and Sec
ond. Sitterding sacrificed, and COgan
scored on Feenan's fly to left.
Georgetown Scores Again.
Georgetown got two more across in the
sixth on Benitz's errors, hits by Cogan
and Fury and base on balls. The other
two runs made by Georgetown were
scored in the eighth. when Sitterding
clouted out two-bagger, Feenan was hit
by pitched ball and Ryan got a hit
into left

but a poor play by Sweeney. who was

Frank Allen is not one of the Buffalo

Mr.. Fowler said. fThe states at

story told by Frank Allen, the alleged

reached the conclusion that he had

reason of his physical or mental con-

There are two points in his story
that we want to verify before we dis

IN. D. DRAIN
CASE HEARD
Supreme Court Of u. 5. Today
Heard N. D. Case
is end OF LONG CONTEST
LEGAL CONTROVERSY OVER CON.
sTlTuTloNALlTY OF THE
Il NORTH DAKOTA DRAINAGE LAW
or tsOs-cAsE WENT UP FROM
TRAIL COUNTY.

washington, Dec. U.-Tne legal con
troversy over the constitutionality OF
the North Dakota drainage law, en-
acted in 1905 today came before the
supreme court of the United States
for oral argument. This marks the
end of long contest over the validity
Of this measure. The courts decision
in the case is not expected for some
weeks.
The drainage law was enacted to as
sist i'm the Improvement of hitherto
worthless land In North Dakota but
which promised to become valuable ur-
der the law. 1t provided that the
county commissioners of each county
should appoint three citizens to CON
stitute drainage commission for the
county. Petitions for drains were to
be submitted to this board. IL after
investigation and hearing, the drainage
commissioners found that the petition
was reasonable, they were authorized
to assess the costs Of constructing the
drain on property owners according to
the benefits to be derived.
When the drainage commissioners
OF Trail county. N. d.. were about to
Morgan townships, three property own
ers. H. r. Selfish. w. III. M Lyche and
y. c. Staupe, went into the courts to
enjoin the commissioners ON the
ground that the law was unconstitu-
tional. They based this claim on the
argument that the legislature put into
the hands Of the commissioners the
power to levy assessments. Under
both the federal and state constitu-
tons 1t was urged, such a power
could not be delegated. The supreme
court Of North Dakota. to which the
case was taken eventually, held that
the assessment In this case was not
such one as Ii prohibited by either
constitution.
The case came before the supreme
court of the United States on the cues
ton OF whether the law violated the
due process clause OF the federal
constitution. The attorneys for the
property owners claimed that levying
the assessment against them and not
against other citizens was not "due
Of law. This theory was dis
puted by attorneys representing the
county.
