tricts they will serve and in the absence
OF a specific provision OF the legislature

This 10 the ruling of the court OF aP-
pesls, laid down in the case Of MoCresry,
governor, against Ira Fields, appealed
from the Franklin circuit court.
While the court does not decide the
case involving the right Of Judge Rob
ert Stout to remove to Franklin county
and preside in the new Judicial district
composed only OF this county, the poin.
Of law involved is the sams as If the
reasoning in the Fields decision is fos
lowed in the other. Judge Stout cannot
remove to Franklin and preside here. The
question raised in the two cases, 50 far
as the district in which the official can
hold, is the same and the decision indl.
Gates, seemingly. that the court will do
eide against Judge Stout in passing OF
the case Of Stout against MeCresry,
governor.
In the case of Fields tbs point wss

fifth Judicial district could hold in the
new district a. commonwsalth's sttor
ney. The new district is composed OF
Pike and Letcher counties, and Fields de-
sired TO remain in that district. The act
of the legislature specified that the gov.
ernor should appoint a new judge and
eommonwealth's attorney in the sew die
triet.

SAINT
SECURE
VICT DRY
Defeat Danes In
Exciting Game
Yesterday.
WIN $40 CASH

No surprise was sprung on those
who did not see yesterdays game
between the St. Anthonys and the
d. A. A. c.. men when told of the
victory of the former by a 10 to y
tally. But those who saw the game
were so thrilled with surprise In the
ninth inning Of the tussle that eV-
eryone stood up and took notice m
til "Ump." Waldron called Smith the
hard hitting third sacker of the
Danes for the third out. 1t was
a wonderful finish, but when the
dust cleared the tally stood one point
in favor of Pete" Toolin's crew.
The game was played on the copper
works diamond and hostilities were
starting when Acting Mayor Ferd
Garretson served the first ball OF
the game to Duniga. he first bat
ter of the Saints. |U4.4er then took
up the slab work where the Mayor
left the job. Taking advantage OF
five costly miscues and mixing them
with fourteen hits, the winners had
no trouble in coping the bacon.
But when the Danes" who seemed
to have no hope at all, came to bat
in the ninth, things looked danger
Gus. The last of the game in which
the losers scored two points and fell
only one short of landing the battle
was made interesting by a hit made
by Ulmer, which was followed by a
free pass to Rodda. Wilson then
laced out a peach which brought
Ulmer in and Rodda scored on a
sacrifice. Then with two on the
bags and two out, Smith, who for
merly made three safeties, two of
which were triples, out of four
chances, struck out. 1t was a Won
derful peace of work for K%insulla
and he should be given a great hand
for his job. "Petep' Toolf was~Ae
shining light of the encounter, with
four safe-wa1Iops out of six chances,
and Ghey all meant runs too. Thereli

USE
OF WEAK ARM

William McCollum, known here
for his basketball abilities. and
known to school fandom for his foot
ball abilities has recovered entirely
from blood poisoning which kept
him from football and much of bas-
ketball last year. Billy" was play
ing guard for the Rutgers varsity
football squad one day when his
arm, which was marked by a cut,
was rubbed ON the ground. The
particles that collected In his arm
from the ground caused blood poi
soning and he was kept from foot
ball for the rest of the season. He
played basketball with X. o. X. A.
team in the county league, but could
not show a part of his aggressive
ness and abilities on account Of his
arm, whcih was kept bandaged
throughout the season.
McCollum is a member of the
class of IA at Rutgers and will
probably be seen here showing his
full strength as a basketball player
next 8 He lives in Railway,
but is working several miles behind
Princeton. His many friends
throughout the county will receive
the news of his recovery with great

Never before In the city's history
has such a crowd flocked to see
sports of any sort, as did the throng
which witnessed the water sports
at Bayard's Beach yesterday morn
ing. Every available nook and cor
ner was occupied by some man,
woman lad or lassie. Besides the
contestants, there were many who
enjoyed the water throughout the
hours of the races. Some were
canoeing and swimming, while 9TH
ers were rowing and yachting. 1t
was q day made-to>order for the
event, the weather man making
things so hot that everyone had to
seek the shores as a refuge.
Prizes were given to the first and
second best in each event. The first
race was the 800 yards swimming
race, which started at Runyon's
dock. by the kind permission of Mr..
Runyon, There we're a large num-
Der of contestants, but Frank Nc

Shortly after the rae started, "Po0"
Booz was struck by a cramp and he
had to drop from the event Captain
Samuel Bayard rushed to "Pox's'
aid with a boat. One-legged Payne,
who was competing under the colors
of the Iroquois A. c., won the event
by finishing In 3 minutes and So
seconds. Barry" Mccormick just
missed the first honors by one-half

close and spirited and the huge
throng voiced its sentiment. Elmer
