SPORT

velOp the games among the scEoOlboys
Of the country. especially in> the east
ern and southern sections. Careful
analysis of the history of the most
famous players in this country has
brought TO light the fact that all be-
gan as boys. The unbrOken line of vic
tories won by the youngsters from Cal
ifOrnia has demonstrated that the
east was far behind the Pacific coast
in encouraging sehOOlbOys TO take up
the game.
Raymond b. Little. who will report
a plan for the development OF school
boy tennis championships at the meet
ing of the executive committee talked
OF the matter yesterday: Mclaughlin
began 10. play when he was - years
OF age; Williams. the national cham
pion started at the game at the tender
age of s years; Karl Behr, Beals
Wright, Nat Niles and George Church
all began at approximately 10 years
OF age. The four last named, by the
way, all started on the road 10 fame
on the courts by winning the national
InterschOlastic championships. Behr
won in 1903 when he was at Law
renceville school.
All that the boys in this section Of
the country need is a chance for tour
nament competition. California has
no monopoly on champions 1t is not
the climate or the playing surfaces or
anything of that sort in California that
produces skillful players. 1t is start
ing at the adaptable age and getting
plenty of good, hard competition"

TAKES SLAM AT FOOTBALL
Worst Abuse of Modern College Sys-
tenn Says Speaker.

CHICAGO, Dec. 22.--Football at the
great American universities is the
worst abuse Of the modern college
system" DR.. Charles Alexander Rich
mond. president OF Union college,
Schenectady, y. Y, asserted in an ad-
dress at the annual banquet OF the col
lege alumni from the middle west
here last night.
The football situation in most col
!eges is disgraceful," DR.. Richmond
said. Fathers and mothers allow
their sons to be exploited in the arena
for profit, like circus performers or
vaudeville actors. Academies are
scraped for athletic material and in
ducements of all kinds are offered to
promising athletes.
1.-The men that go ilto football are
driven and coached under the profess
sional system until they have no time
for study. They have no time for any
thing but athletics"

SIX COMMISSIONS
TO MAKE REPORT
WOrknen'S Compensation, WO-
mans Labor, Highway and
Drainage Conditions to be
Aired at Assembly Meeting.

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 22.-The
general assembly converting Jan. Z
will give consideration TO the reports
of six commissions which have been
making a study of six different sub
iects upon which legislation is being
urged. The reporting OF these sew
eraI commissions promises TO be one
Of the interesting features OF the leg
iglative session.
This will be the first time that as
many as six commissions have made
recommendations to the legislature.
The obtaining of the legislation
through commissions became espe-
ciallv popular in the 1913 session,
when the vocational education and
penal farm bills were passed. In
both instances the legislature acted
upon recommendations OF commls-
Sions.
Many Subjects Considered.
The commissions which are to re
mort TO the 1915 legislature are as fol
lows: Workman's compensation, OF
which Ii. w. Bullock is chairman;
state highway, of which Addison <.
Harris is chairman; drainage, OF
which Senators BallOu, kaufman ana
Mccormick are members; woman
labor, Of which Melville Mix OF Mlsh-
awake is chairman; blue sky, OF
and state flood, Of which f. w. Shlrk
Of Peru is chairman.
The woman's labor, the highway
and the flood prevention commission
have held numerous meetings over
the state in obtaining the views OF the
people on the various subjects. MI
Bullock has worked practically alone
in studying the question OF work
mans compensation, the act under
which the commission was establish
ed having been declared void because
of defect in it's title.
Drainage Investigation Made.
The drainage commission. it is eX-
pected, will depend largely upon an
exhaustive survey of Indiana drain
age laws which have been completed
by Charles marlborough, OF the leg
isIative reference bureau. Mr.. Kettle
borough has made report giving the
history of all drainage legislation in
detail, and he has submitted recon-
mendatiOnS.
The blue sky" commission was APP
pointed by Gov. Ralston upon his own
initiative after he had vetoed a blue
sky" measure passed by the 1913
general assembly. This bill passed in
1913 was unsatisfactory because it
was considered TO be incOngrOus,
mistakes having been made when ii
was drafted in a conference between
the house and senate committees, and
il was with reluctance that the COVER
nor vetoed it. In appointing a COM
mission TO prepare q new bill the gov
ernor asked that IT make its report
last July. but if this commission has
held meetings and prepared a report
the fact is not known.

ANTI-CIGARET LAW
Is UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Michigan Supreme Court Rules
Against Measure-Calls il In
valid on TechnicaIity.

LANSING. Mich. Dec. 22.-On the
ground that the title of the bill COW
ers more than one subject, the sup
RENE court in an opinion Saturday
afternoon declared unconstitutional
act No. 226, of the public acts of
1909. which prohibits the sale of
cigarets TO minors. The title of the
bill not only regulates the sale, but
contains a provision against the adul-
iteration of cigarets.
Richard r. Blumrich of Grand
Rapids. who was convicted in the
Kent circuit court on the charge of
selling cigarets to a boy named James
Sproat, appealed the case TO the SUP
RENE court. Blumrich's conviction
is set aside in the opinion rendered
by the supreme court.

Members of British Polo Team
Army Officers and Are Now
at the Front-HerzOg Now a
Golf Fiend.
BY Frank G. Menke.

NEW YORK, Dec. -. - UnCfe
Sammy's chances Of winning back the
polo and tennis championship cups in
1915 are remote, because of the gen.
eral European war.
II 10 unlikely that there will be an
international polo match between
England and America next year.
Most of the men who made up the
1914 English polo team were army
officers. They are fighting in the war
now. IL is possible that one or more
has been killed or wounded.
Even if war is over by next spring,
il is not likely that a match will be
arranged as il will take England "a
year or more 10 readiust itself, COM
merciaily and in a military way and it
will not have much time to think of
or indulge in sports.
The same rule is true concerning
the Australian tennis team which won
the Davis cup last summer. Anthony
+. Wilding and Norman +. BroOkes,
the main cOgs In the championship
team are on the firing line for the
allies and have given up all tennis
thoughts.
Charles Herzog, who manages the
reckless Reds. has become so badly
afflicted with golfitis that he has
about decided TO quite raising crops
on his Maryland farm and will have
the farm laid out as a golf course.
Never could see the sport in golf
until / got a club in my hand one
day" says HeTzOg. II used TO think
il was child's play TO knock that in
nOcent LOOKING, PROSTATE ball a couple
of miles.
We'll. just for exercise 1 swung at
the ball with a club that belonged to
a friend of mine. / missed. That
made me veXed. 1 swung again-and
| swung low. That time l nearly
knocked the bottom out of the tee.
What's the use of going farther g?
Golf got me like it does nearly every
body else. IL looks so simple that
YOU think il is a waste of time hitting
the ban until you try TO hit And
when you try and miss the ball seems
TO laugh at you. Ii seems to jeer you
into taking another swipe. and the
oftener YOU sw4pe the oftener you
want TO swipe."
HerzOg grows oats on his farm.
Unless somebody builds a golf
course in my nGghbOrhOod by next
fall. I'll quit sowing oats and I'll use
the Oat field for golf course" Herzog
said.
