"PooR MANS" LAW DECISION.
Bootlesser Can Not Get Out Of Jail
Under Old Statute.

Creston, Oct. 3.---An opinion, the ef-
feet OF which will be far reaching sc
far as the prohibition law Of Iowa Is
concerned, in the opinion Of local ex-
perts, was handed down here Satur-
day night by Judge Thomas Maxwell
Of the Union county district court
The decision was rendered in the
case of the sheriff Of Union county vs
Bel La Francis. convicted OF bootleg
cling and fined $500. In default of pay
ment he was sentenced to serve nine
months In jail.
The case developed into a test OF the
poor mans" section of the Iowa Grim
inal code. The section provides thai
the sheriff may" reieasc a prisoner
serving term in Jail in lien of fine
provided the prisoner makes affidavit
that he is a poor man and gives his
note for the balance dur on the fine
after he has served part of his sem
tence
La Francis attorney brought habeas
corpus proceedings at this term OF
court. claiming that the word ''mty' in
the statute should be construed as
Shall
In his opinion. judge Maxwell found
that the contention of counsel for the
plaintiff was correct and tenable but
that certain sections Il the Iowa Pro-
hibitory law specifically stated that
the section of the criminal code cited
did not apply in CASES where con-
viction of violating the liquor laws OF
the state had been accomplished. He
ordered La Francis petition dismissed
and remanded him to the custody OF
the sheriff.
Provision for the release Of the pris-
oner on bail was made. however. and II
Is thought probable that the case will
be carried to the supreme court thor
oughly to test the law.

WHITE SOX BUY
ANOTHER SHORT

Chicago, Sept. 2.-The White Sox
have purchased another shortstop for
next season. He is Bruce Hartford,
the star shortstop Of the Des Moines
club of the Western league. Hart
ford has been playing great game
for Manager Isbell's team for the past
two years and half. This will be
his second attempt to break into the
major leagues. Hartford may be able
to Join the White Sox late this fall?
Frank Isbell. the old time White
Sox player. who is plotting the Des
Moines club thinks that President
Comiskey got star player in Hart
ford He announced the sale of
Bruce few days ago. but did not
make known the amount paid. al
though it is understood a small cash
payment was made when the deal
went through and If Hartford is re-
tanned more money is to follow.
Hartford was with Cleveland club
short time before Joining the Des
Moines club in 1914 He came to
Des Moines in deal by which Tom
Reilly went to Cleveland. He is tout
ed as wonderful fielder and a con-
sistent hitter with a batting average
near the 800 mark. At the present
time he is above that position: Last
year Hartford was picked as the star
shortstop on the ''all star" Western
league hy the eight managers of the
circuit,

HORNSBY DOING
WELL WITH BAT

st. Louis. Mo-, Sept. 2.-Roger
Hornsby, infielder for the st. Louis
Nationals who is playing his first full
season in the majors, is putting up a
great fight for batting honors against
such we'll known hitters as Daubert
Of Brooklyn. Wagner of Pittsburg,
Robertson Of New York and many
others of we'll known ability.
Hornsby when batting, stands we'll
away from the plate. in a crouching
position, and holds his bat at the ex-
treme end. He has proved to be a
tower Of strength to his team, not on
ly in batting, but in defensive play as
we'll.
He came to st. Louis as shortstop,
but Manager Huggins has used him
in every position on the infeld.
The only pitcher in the National
league. who seems to know his weak
ness, is Mayer OF Philadelphia. who
recently caused him to strike out
three times in one game.

international League Fails
in Brooklyn Clubs Claim
Case.

Cincinnati, Ohio. Sept. 2.-An ap.
plication of the International league
for rehearins of the Brooklyn Ma
tional league clubs claim against the
Newark. N. j., franchise was denied
by the national commission here yes
terday.
The national commission issued a
notice yesterday that in view Of the
fact that in order to properly pro-
tect their interest in players. major
league clubs found 1t necessary to re-
call or repurchase number of op-
tional players whom they will nor re-
tain for future services. it has decid-
ed to temporarily suspend that por-
ton of rule 20. which provides that
waivers on repurchased players can
not be asked for before November Is.
Major league clubs will therefore he
permitted to ask for waivers on play
ers at any time without having them
report.
The commission also denied anoth-
er notice. that through inadvertance.
some 1915 agreements for the pur-
chase of Glass AA players by major
league clubs. containing clause per-
mitting a player to finish the current
season with the releasing club, were
approved and promulgated The
commission holds that it would he un-
fair to enforce the provision requir-
ing the immediate delivery Of some of
these purchased players and allow
others to continue in the service of
the selling club. The commission
therefore rulad that twill permit all
class AA clubs to retain players sold
by them this season until the close OF
their, respective pennant races. unless
the interested clubs agree that the
player involved shall report forthwith
to the purchasing club.

DEFEATED AGAIN
California Wizard Fails in
His Attempt to "Corne
Back"

Forest Hills. N. Y. Sept. 2.-The
defeat of Maurice f. Mclaughlin, the
idol of American lawn tennis, by Geo
NJ. Church was the feature of the
fourth round of the national singles
championship tournament at the West
Side club yesterday. The elimina-
tion of the California comet in his
widely-heralded attempt to come back
after two years Of defeat, left but
1916 title as against four eastern
stars and one southerner.
George NJ. Church today was the
hope of the eastern contingent and
the west pinned it's faith on the abil.
ity of William NJ. Johnston, victor a
year ago, although 1t was conceded
that of the remaining eight players
in the tournament. r. Norris Will.
liams II and Clarence ]. Griffin had
a chance.
Church defeated Mclaughlin ST.
6-1, 6-2. 6-3.
While the defeat Of Mclaughlin
had been forecasted. the gallery OF
more than 5000 spectators was eager
for victory for the player who, when
at the top Of his tennis career, defeat
ed the greatest players the world has
ever seen. Mclaughlin at times
flashed as in the old days but against
the smashing play Of his towering
adversary he was in the long run
powerless.
Although he won the opening set
after it had gone to deuce, NcLough-
lin could not keep the pace. Church
piled into the net with every service
and at other opportunities and there
took his stand. With his great height
and reach it proved almost impossible
for Mclaughlin to pass him with con-
sistency. Mclaughlin appeared to
tire quickly toward the end of the
MATCH In the final set he took des-
perate chances and lashed the ball so
fast and viciously that he seemed to
have regained his former racquet
wizardy. For a few moments Church
was helpless before the lightning at
tack and marvellous playing, while
the spectators stood up and fairly
shrieked.
1t was but flash. however, and
then the famous comet appeared to
lose his control.
The defeat of McIIoughlin. his first
before the final round in any national
tournament since he first won the
championship in 1912. was taken by
many to mark the passing Of the
Californian in championship play. He
now has been eliminated three years
in succession in his efforts to get in
third and final leg on the cham
piOnship bowl

MOTOR BOAT RACES
BEGIN At DETROIT

Detroit. Mich, Sept 2.-The fastest
motor-boats in the world tuned up
on the Detroit river this forenoon in
final preparation for the Gold cup
races which were to start late today
with a 3o-mile heat for hydro-planes
and a 10-mile contest for express
cruisers.
More than one of these marine
humming-birds were expected to tear
about Belle Isle at mile-a-minute
speed. The hydroplane heat was to
start at o'clock and the cruisers
were to get away an hour later. Of
ficials Of the American Power Boat
association choose late afternoon for
the races. because the Detroit river
usually is calm at this time Of day.
These two championship events
will be run in three heats. The sec
ond heats will be fought out on Mon
day and the third heats on Tuesday.
The hydroplanes will thus have raced
go miles before the winter crosses the
finish line. The express cruisers are
to race 30 miles in the three days.
A point system will determine the
championships. Each speeder fin
ishing q heat will be given a point
and will receive one point for each
boat which was behind it when it
passed the final buoy. The point win

Late Wednesday afternoon, the
hydro-planes will compete for the
championship Of North America over
a mile course. A trophy will be
awarded to the winner.
Five of the seven boats entered in
the hydro-plane event, have been
speeding over the course for week.
The Miss Minneapolis. regarded by
many as a probable winner of the
race, was a late arrival. After she

The other contestants are fleet east

The record for Gold Cup winner
was made in 1914 at Lake George by

tor, averaged 50.49 miles an hour.
Miss Detroit won the event last year
at Manhasset bay. by speeding 4S.49
miles an hour. 1t is claimed that
the champion. which recently was
completely overhauled, can now do
better than So mile in 60 minutes but
it is doubtful if this speed is sufficient
to match that Of the Minneapolis
