RAIL COMMISSIONER
MAKES A STATEMENT
Recent Newspaper Articles En-
barrassing to the Board,
Dougherty Says.

Pierre. S. d.. Jan. 26.-When inter
viewed concerning the article which
appeared in an Aberdeen newspaper
January 21, to the effect that a con-
ference was to be held in Pierre today
between the state railroad commission
erS and traffic experts from over the
state 20 determine, if possible, hi are
reasonable and justifiable t~ransporta-
ton charges for interstate express
shipments, P. w. Daugherty, chairman
of the board, said:
There must be a misunderstanding
on the part of the Aberdeen CONNER
cial club. There will be no conference
at this time for the purpose Of fixing
lntraState express rates. We are always
glad to have rate men of the
cial bodies appear in any proceedings
before the board of railroad commits
%sioners, but we do not confer with
them when fixing rates. No such con-
ference has been proposed.
1T is true, however, that there Is
pending before this board an investiga-
ton into the intrastate express rates in
this state, but the investigation is in
dependent of any proceedings before
the Interstate Commerce commission.
or the our A partial hearing was
held January 10 and 13.
THE second and perhaps, final hear
ing, VIII be set at an early date. Pur-
suant to an order made by this board,
the express companies ave furnished
detailed information concerning ship
ments for a period of four months OK
the year 1916, as we'll as information
concerning the revenues and expenses.
Ihese detail sheets are now being
analyzed and as soon as this is COM
plete the case will be set down for a
hearing.
These newspaper articles of our
ported conferences are embarrassing to
the commission and are misleading to
tho nJh1ir nrI thl "a
the express companies. We are en-
deavoring to secure the cooperation of
the express companies to the fullest ex-
ent Quite naturally, they will be re-
Iuctant to come in and participate in
the case II, as suggested by the news
papers they have reason to believe the
case mas been ~prejudiced at a confer
ence between the commission and rep
resentatives of commercial bodies.

to console partisan fans-that no mat ter how the battle goes, 1t will un- doubtedly be one of the best sport ing men in this state have seen in some time.
 On the card with Dundee and Kunz are Red Allen, who will be. remem- bered for his thrilling conquest of Bud Palmer, of this city, and Mickey Donley, of Newark, with whom he Is matched for the ten-round semi-final. Aliens victory over Palmer has won him fame that will probably last with his boxing career, and has made him a great favorite in local boxing circles.
 In Donley, however, he will encoun- ter 8 lightweight of rare skill and ability, and though he is looked for to carry away the laurels from his coming meet, will have to put forth all that is in him to win.
 George Proto, of New Haven,' has been substituted for Johnny Shugrue, of Waterbury, in the preliminary bout. with Al Ritchie, champion feather weight of Rhode Island, and this fact will strengthen the card, fans believe. Proto defeated Shugrue in a recent battle at New Haven, and will stack up well against Ritchie.

odds as great as 5-3 seem to fa- vor Johnny Dundee in the betting thus far on the outcome of his scheduled twelve round go with Battling Kunz. state champion, before the lover A. C., in the Casino, next Monday night, friends of the little New York scrap per being confident that in the Nor walk lad he will find an easy victim.
 Even money wagers that Kunz will not go the full time against his for midable opponent have also been heard of, although bets from this an- gle are scarce. Those who know Kunz and his style of fighting know that he will not venture an opening to give Dundee the opportunity for a knockout, but will attack warily and maintain a close guard.
 Kunz is a heavy hitter and in this respect has the shade on Dundee who, though an exceedingly clever boxer, lacks power in his punches and can- not be looked for against sturdy ad- versary to land a sleep producer. Dundee is speedy and a master of strategy, but he will have to exert every ounce of his strength and every bit of his skill to overcome Kunz.
 The Connecticut lad is well aware of the fact that he is pitted against a fighter who ranks as one of the ablest men in the game today, and will do his utmost to wrest victory from his opponent.
 Both fighters are training hard, in this city, for their bout, and are in the pink of condition. There is this

PITT AND DEFOE
 IN $ ROUND DRAW

With better effect than could have been accomplished by skilled actor, Charlie Pitts made his farewell bow before local fight fans, last night, when by clever, clean boxing, he held Billy De Foe, of St. Paul, to a draw in a .six-round bout at a smoker be- fore the Acorn A. c.
 Both men put forth the best that was in them, and furnished a contest which, though devoid of thrills, was in general one of the best, most spir- ited ever seen here. The boxers were in thep ink of condition, and were able to give spectators an interesting half-hour.
 Dc Foe, an enterprising and hard hitting pugilist. tried his best during the first two rounds to stop Pitts, and in his efforts became so excited that he unintentionally hit so low at times as to foul once. He apologized, how ever, and the Australian cheerfully eondoned the accidental offence.
 Realizing that in Pitts he had wor- thy opponent, De Foe cut out his sharp attack after the second, and settled himself to the task of trying for victory on points. He failed to outscore Pitts, however and while the first round went to him, the last went to his opponent, the others split ting even.
 Chick Turner and Young Brooks provided some excitement to the spectators in an eleventh-hour ar ranged encounter. They fought four 4o 1f oIa1yar -o17rdc oyd oroo fad eo fa. vorable an impression that they were engaged for the next smoker. A draw decision proved popular in their case.

 Championship

Boston, Mass, Dec. 7.-The cham pionship of the Eastern service teams will hang in the balance Saturday af- ternoOn, when Leo Leary's Boston navy yard football stars will do battle with Cupid Blacks Newport Reserves at the stadium. The contest will fur nish the skyrocket finish for the foot ball season, and should nearly equal in interest and attendance the annual struggle between Harvard's eleven and the Yale bulldog.
 Leary's group of ap-star ground gainers, unbeaten in any of the games it has taken part in this season, is going to get the severe test of the year. If these players lare able to turn back the onslaughts of Charlie Barrett and Gerrish and have their own attack succeed, their supremacy over service teams throughout the East will be unquestioned. It will be the big test fer the Charlestown tars.
 In the past two weeks, the stock of the Leary-coached team has been as- cending in true bull-market form, while Cupie Blacks team has been foundering in the mire.

BOXING ON TRIAL
 BEFORE NEW YORK
 TRIBUNAL TODAY

The boxing situation today is a crt1- cial one. as the membership plan will be either rejected or sustained by court decisions. The case of the Broadway Sporting club, will come up in the Butler street court. when the club and the police will submit briefs to Magistrate Esterbrook.
 While the Magistrate may reserve decision. still it will be the final arz gument as between the police and the clubs. The New Polo A. A. case will also come up in the Harlem police court before Magistrate Ten Eyck. If the decision goes against the clubs then the last resort of the clubs will be the injunction proceedings before Justice Jaxcox Monday tn the Su- prenae Court of Brooklyn.
 This will be an argument on the motion of the Broadway Sporting club to make permanent the injunction granted restraining the police from interfering with the clubs boxing en- Itertainments.
 By way of meeting any develop ments of the. next few days in the courts the promoters of boxing will meet this afternoon at o'clock at the Broadway Sporting club and take ac- ton that is deemed necessary for their own protection.
 It is probable if the decisions go against the clubs they will band to- getHler and take the case to a higher court. A proposal will come up to raise a fund and have one club take the matter through all the legal chan nels to a final decision.

TEN BOUT C....-1O IN
 ELM CITY TONIGHT

New Haven, Dec. 7-The best set of boxing bouts ever arranged for one card will be witnessed Friday night at the Nutmeg A. c. of New Haven. The occasion is Dick Curley's show in the cause of the Italian War Fund, and to which he hopes to add $90,000 by means of a series of boxing benefits he has under consideration.
 Among the prominent boxers who have volunteered their services for the worthy cause are the following: Johnny Dundee. Willie Jackson, Jack Britton, Mike O'Dowd, Battling Le- whisky, Freddy. Welsh, Patsy Cline, K. O. Circus, Bartley Madden, Allie Mack, Mickey Dunn. Charley Hauser and Jack Lundy. Curley hopes to in. duce Champion Benny Leonard to perform for the ediication of the 10000 spectators the Nutmeg arena is sure to hold that evening.
 K. O. Circus, who has 8 record of 10 straight knocRouts, has offered to box any lad weighing between 11s to 122 pounds, color no bar. He wants the bout to be scheduled for 12 rounds, and does not expect a cent for his services. ThisN 1S-year-old sensation is of Italian parentage, and desires to help his countrymen in any way at all. He is too young for the army, and wants to assist by his prowess with the gloves.
 There is ah advance sale of 5000, and Curley gives credit to Chief of Police Bill Smith of New Haven for the assured success of the perform ance. Mrs. Pon and Frank Sposa have raised $50,000 for the cause, but Curley expects to exceed this sum by many thousands Friday.
