Numerous requests have been
presented to the commission by
railroad and street railway COM
panies and other persons inter-
ested for an administrative ruling
upon the question CD whether or
not the issuance of free passes to
officers and employees of railroad
companies to be used for the

GERS and employees and (2)
whether the according of free
transportation by common car
riers to policemen and firemen in
the discharge of their public
duties are violations of the act of
July 26, 1913, and known as 1.-The
public service company law"
public hearing in this matter
was held by the commission at
Harrisburg on the goth day of
January. 1914. at which railroad
and railway companies and others
appeared and were heard. and all
persons interested were given an
opportunity to be heard. In this

the commission Is of the opinion
that the spirit and true intent and
meaning of the provisions of the
public service company law of
July 26, 1913. are not such as to
require the commission to regard
as a violation of the law the prac-
tice of railroad companies of issu-

the championship tourney will decide the
title.
In dual meets Columbia defeated Penn

substitutes on the strips Harvard and
Cornell seem pretty well matched for
third place. but the Comedians with the

one Of the most progressive motor boat
clubs in the East is that known a. The
Sew York Motor Boat club, situated at
the foot of lEth street on the Hudson
River and occupying site Of more than
3Ox2Oo feet.
The eastern boundary Of the 'lub is
Riverside Drive and the club itself Is APP
preached by three sloping walks down ,he
from the river forms the background Of
the two handsome clubhouses.
The club was founded I'm 1905 and i'm
corporated under the laws OF the State OF
New York in 1905 The rapid growth OF
this club, which is one OF the youngest
although one OF tho largest clubs on the
river. has been due TO a large extent TO
the energy Of the various commodores
and their aids who have held ofice since
the club was founded
Another feature that has proved an at
traction is it's location and easy accessi-
bility. as well "a the fine anchorage. As
the club is situated north OF most of the
citys shipping, there is practically no an
noyance from this source. an important
item for beginners in motor boating to

the Season.

The lawn tennis enthusiasts OF the local
high schools are preparing for a busy sea
son Some Of the teams have been work
ing indoors for some time, and the re-
ports OF the coaches and captains are
glowing with enthusiasm.

lawn tennis may be CLEANED from the fact
that while heretofore it was possible TO
combine the Brooklyn and Queens Bor-
ough contestants. so many teams have
entered that the adoption of separate
schedules is now necessary.
SIX teams will compete in the Manhat-
tan. Richmond and Bronx Borough divi-
sion as follows:
curtis. champions last year De witt
Clinton. Stuvyesant Townsend Harris
Morris and Commerce. The Brooklyn and
Queens schedules will be announced next
week
Erasmus Hall. Manual. BOYS and Com
narcial will compete in the Brooklyn di-
vision. while Jamaica Flushing. Rich
mond Hill and Far Rocka way will be rep
resented in the Queens division.
The Clinton team has taken time by the
forelock and has been practising indoors
for the last month or more. Allan Colt
schald, is captain. Hammerslough.
Fleishman. Felstiner and Van Raalte are
the leading candidates. Captain Fisher
ard lIanlon, the only veterans Of the
championship Curtis team. are rounding
into form slowly. and are grooming the
other candidates.
The schedule of the Manhattan Rich
