Says Court of Appeals in Knocking
Out Act of 1914 on a Tech
nicaIity.

In 1913 the people of Montgom-
cry county by a majority of over
one thousand, adopted the commits
sion form Of government under the
Act of 1892. Under it the change
did not become effective until jan
uary 1918, and with a view of car
rying into effect the will of the peo-
pie sooner, our then Representa-
tive, Hon. John A. Judy introduced
and had unanimously adopted by
the Legislature of 1914. an Act
authorizing the selection of Com
mssioners in 1915 to take Office in
1916 and under this act Messrs. A.
L. Upton, o. w. Mccormick and
c.. L. Dean were chosen. That this
system is a vast improvement over
the old is evidenced by the fact that
in less than sixty days the Commits
sioners saved the people over $500
by rigid economy and improved bus
mess methods. Doubt, however,
was expressed as to the constitu-
tionality of the Act of 1914, al
though there were large number
of able lawyers in both the House
and Senate when it was adopted.
Judge A. A. Hazelrigg, as a taxpay-
er, brought an agreed suit against
C. T. Hazelrigg, County Treasurer,
seeking to enjoin him from paying
any claim allowed by the Commits
sioners. This was granted by
Judge Young on the ground that the
act did not comply with the consti-
tutional provision which requires
that the section to be amended by
an act must be set out in full. This
ruling was last Friday upheld by
the Court of Appeals. A question
was also raised as to whether the
old law of 1892 violates the consti-
tuition by requiring that the Com
missioners be elected from three
districts by the voters of the whole
county, instead of being selected
from the county at large. Judge
Young was of the opinion it did, but
the Court Of Appeals said that
while the language of the constitu-
ton would indicate an intention
that the county should not be dis
tricted for election to the Fiscal
Court, the General Assembly in
1892, Immediately after its adop-
ton, enacted q law providing for
of members of the Fiscal
Court from districts, and it never
had been questioned, nor is there
in the debates on the con-
to throw light ON the in
tent. The construction placed upon
it by the act Of the General Assem-
bly, does no violence to a reasonable
Interpretation of the constitutional
so the court decided that
the county may be divided into dis
tricts, as was done here.
Under this ruling Commissioners
cannot legally be elected until next
year Ito take Office in January,
1879 and the court will be com
posed until then Of the County
Judge and the Magistrates. AT the
same time the counties of jefferson,
and Bell will also elect

Schaffnit Captain Of
 Wash. Glee 1917 Team

New Haven, Dec. 28-Charles gchaffnit, left end. was unanimously elected captain of the Washington Glee club football team for next year at banquet of tie players held at Hotel Oneco last night The elec- ton of Schaffnit came as big sur prise inasmuch as Joe Kearns, the veteran tackle, was conceded the honor prior to the balloting. Kearns, however, was reluctant in accepting the place and refused to be a candi- date. Following Kearns' declination. the name of Schaffnit was proposed and the players elected him without a contest.
 Schaffnit is one of the younger members of the team and played a splendid game at end all season. He scored the onIy touchdown against the Annex in the game for the city championship last month and was a tower of strength on the defense in the Glees' decisive rout of the Ameri- can Chain Go. eleven of Bridgeport three weeks ago. His election is bound to. meet with favor on the Hill"

OFFER DARCY. $20, 900 TO
 SHOW SKILL IN HAVANA RING
Australian Won't Sign Any Contracts Until He
 Hears From Carpentier.

New York, Dec. .2S-Les Darcy, the Australian middleweight cham pion, received another f1attering offer to engage in a bout against any of this country's leading middleweight boxers yesterday. Hugh Grant Brown, who, with Mike Donlin, the former baseball star, is negotiating for a series of sporting events to be staged in Havana, visited Darcy at the Hotel Broztell, and there offered the sum of $2O,00O for a bout with either Al Mccoy of Brooklyn, recog- ,nized tftfeholder;; Mike Gibbons, the St. Paul boxer, or Jack Dillon of Indianapolis, in contest of either 20 or 40 rounds.
 The offer, however, was refused, and Darcy stated that he had no in- tention of participating in a boxing exhibition until definite news had been received from Paris whether Georges Carpenter, heavyweight champion of Europe, would come to this country.
 Tex Rickard and his paptner, Sam McCracken, announced yesterday that there was nothing new pertain ing to Carpentier or to obtaining iease1 on Madison Square Garden. McCracken, however, admitted that he expected something definite in re-

dry baseball writers, and others more or less .close1yNidentified with the na- tionaF pastime, decided that $2O,000 was entirely too much money to pay for the privilege.
 If there were any assurance that Wood would do as well as next sea- son as he did in 1915, when he won IA out of 19 games, while holding his oponents to an average of 1.49 runs per nine-inning game, Dunn would feel not the slightest reluctance about meeting the Sox owners demands There is no certainty, however, that Woods ailing arm is really itself, and Dunn refuses to pay a stars price for an experiment.,
 Woods arm hasn't been right since the fall of 1914. He led his league during the season of 1915, but his games were mostly ''set ups'' in which he encountered only the feeblest opposition. Carrigan seldom used him against the pennant~- con tenders of that year, reserving him for occasional starts against the light-hitting second division teams. His league leading performance was discounted even at Boston, for the following winter President Joe Lam min offered him only a fraction of his former salary to renew his allegiance to the Red Sox.

INVADE EASTERN LEAGUE.

An attempt to start a new league in Massachusetts, with a six club cir cult has frightened the Eastern league directors, who are vainly trying to rebuild their league fences for next season.
 The promoters of the new league want Lynn, Lowell, Haverhil1, Law renee and Manchester, N. H., and possibly Fftchburg. This would be a trolley league for the teams could jump back home every night and ho- tel expenses would be avoided. Travel ing expenses also would be small.
 Of course the promoters have. no right to the Massachusetts territory because it is already protected by the Eastern league. They are probably hoping that the Eastern won't oper- ate the territory and thereby make it available for anybody. The Eastern magnates will meet next week and decide on the makeup of the 1917 wheel. The magnates in both sections realize they made a mistake when they listened to the nonsense about merger and both are anxious to re- turn to the days of compact circuits and small travelling bills.

gard to the Garden lease within the next few days.
 The report from Indianapolis that Jack Dillon had accepted an offer for a bout with Darcy to be staged at a local club, the date and the purse to be announced later, elicited a denial of any knowledge of such a match from the Australian.
 Among the offers thus far received by Darcy are the following:
 Dominick Totorich, New Orleans, $15,00O to meet Mike Gibbons in the Crescent City.
 Edward Waldron of the Manhattan A. C., $75,0OO for three bouts. Dan McKetrick, $75,O00 for three bouts, this practically being the Wal dron-Pollok- k-McKetrick-Curley offer, as they are in the same combination.
 Matt TIinkel of Cleveland is on the way to make an offer to the Austra- Han.
 Tex Rickard is supposed to have offered $25,000 for a bout, but as the Texan refuses to affirm or deny this is not authentic.
 Manager E. T. O,Sullivan declared yesterday that before Darcy put his name to a contract the entire amount guaranteed to the champion would have to be put in bank.

PRESIDENT WILSON
 WAS SH0RTST0P ON PRINCETON NINE

This is the sixtieth birthday of Woodrow Wilson, once the able short stop of the Princeton nine. It is difficult to get a real line on the President as a ball player, and, any, way, it doesn't make much difference, because there is no hope of any club getting him, and he is too old for any regular team, except possibly Min neapolis. Of course, the old boys of Princeton swear that MT. Wilson of 'em admit that, while a great field CT, he was rather weak in hitting. He was never given a trial by big league club, but Connie Mack wasn't managing a team then. The President is a keen baseball fan, but golf now, holds first place in his af- fections. Being of Scotch descent. it is natural that he should take kind- ly to the "Scooch croquet." and he has developed into a. fair player.
 MT. Taft is also addicted to golf, and, like his successor. an enthusias- tic baseball fan. Col. Roosevelt. while he likes baseball, is fonder of football, which he played at college, and would rather see a good boxing match than any kind of ball game. The Colonel is still able to put up a good argument with the gloves. He is fonder of doing than seeing, and of all sports his favorite is hunting. President Wilson holds a Virginia hunting license, and most of his pre- decessors were fond of the sport, but the Colonel surpasses them all as a Nimrpd. Washington and Jefferson, and a number of the other early Presidents, were deer hunters, but Roosevelt is the only occupant of the White House who has bagged lions. elephants and other big African game. Washington, Lincoln, Garfield and Cleveland were enthusiastic anglers, but Cleveland was the most ardent of the, Presidential disciples of old Izaak Walton.

White in g Round Draw With Murphy In
 Frisco 24 Years Ago.

San Francisco fight fans saw a me- morable battle between little fellows "A years ago, Dec. 28, 1892, when Tommy White and Billy Murphy fought 32 rounds to draw. Murphy. known as Australian Billy" had won the worlds featherweight title from Ike Weir about three years before he fought White, but lost it the same year to Young Griffio, who was suc- ceeded by George Dixon as champion. Tommy White, Chicago lad known as "the Board of Trade Pet" was never champion, but he was a great fighter.
 The 32-round bout was nothing un7 usual for these boys, for Murphy had fought g. 40-round draw with Johnny Murphy, and several other contests almost as long; while White had fought 91-round draw with Danny Daly, and other bouts of Al. 48y an~ 54 rounds. Tn fact, some or the lotl5- est and most ferocious of the ring combats of the old days were between featherweights. ff
