LEGALCONTEST
FORESEEN OVER
ENGINEERS PAY
School Board Refers SnideI
and RotZ Claims to State
Accountants.
CONFERENCE TO BE HELD

Little business Of importance was
transacted by the board Of school COM
missioners at its regular meeting last
night and the session lacked the display
Of personal antagonisms that has marked
so many board meetings in the past.
Even the bringing up of the now ia
nous Snider & Rotz and L. A. Snider
contracts failed to bring about a rumpus
and when these standbys fail to con-
vert a school board meeting into a battle
royal it is certain that nothing else viii
do so.
REFER UNPAID CLAIMS
To BOARD OF ACCOUNTS.
After a lengthy, but remarkably peace
able discussion, 1t was decided to refer
all unpaid claims Of Snider & Rotz, engi-
neers for the board, and L. a. Snider,
formerly building advisor. to the State
board Of accounts for the opinion Of that
body. In line with this tho finance COM
mittee and Ralph W. Douglass, business
director Of the board, were directed to
arrange q conference with the State board
Of accounts, Governor Warren I. McCray
and Q. S. Lesh, attorney general Of In
diana, in regard TO these contracts.
The State board Of accounts has held
them illegal and certified its finding TO
the Governor, hut Governor McCray never
has sent the matter to the attorney gen
eraI for final action. In all probability,
sometime somebody IS going 70 sue some
body over these contracts, but whether
the suit Will be filed by the State OF
Indiana against Snider s. Rotz and MI.
Snider, to recover money paid under the
contracts, or by Snider s. ROtz and Mr..
snfder against the school board to collect
IL 70 ha Grra a
tracts no one knows.
At the last meeting Of the board the
entire matter was referred to Frederick
NJ MatsOu, attorney for the board, for
his opinion as to the legality Of the
board ordering payments under the terms
Of the contract Mr.. MstsOn answered
Just as he did last July, by saying that
the matter had passed the opinion
stage and that nothing short Of a Ju-
diciaI decision VIII ever settle the affair

RISE Of YOUNG JAKE
SCHAEFER IN GUEST
GAME HAS BEEN RAPID
Son of Old Champion Formerly
Permitted His Temper to
Get Better of Discretion.


/ international News sporting Editor
NEW YORK, Dec "a lot of
/ people, including the genial Willie

In the recent title tourney at Chicago.
Young Mister Schaefer has been a
contender for a number of years and
folks on the sidelines noticed that he
was getting better all the while, but
only the close followers of the cue
game figured in advance of the recent
tourney that Jake Jr had as good u
an even chance of topping the billiard
crown from Hoppe's brow. There was
{; reason for this. 1t was because. in
many Il tourney Younk Jake showed
an inclination to become Temperament
tai when the worries refused to roll for
him. He always seemed to lack, and
really does lack, the coolneSs of Hoppe
and his habit of getting hot around
the collar when he failed to get the
breaks" held him back quite a while.
Within the last eight or ten months,
however, Young Jake settled down.
He made up his mind that if he was
ever going to emulate his great father.
the late Wizard" Schaefer, he would
have to control his temper. So he took
his temperament in hand, practised
Tor many hours a day over stretch
of months and went into training"
for his big effort at Chicago which re-
suited in his winning the title.
During the last two years or so stu
dents of billiards have recognized
Young Sehaefer as a player with the
making of great star and future

has really been sensational for as late
ly as 1919 none who saw him play
would have ventured to predict that he
you'd be the worlds champion today.
This was because, as we havag men
toned, his playing was Indifferent,
Schaefer started his real campaign

and devoting his time exclusively to
balkine. He inherited great natural
ability from his father and when he
tpplied himself it began to crop out.
Those who have watched him recently

greatest asset is his ability to make

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-Tennis in
america last summer reached thu
peak of popularity and interest.
Because of the great growth of the
court pastime, the number of players
engaged in actual competition and the
unusual interest shown by the public.
the ranking of players by the United

be watched with more than the ordin-
airy interest:
THE first Ten" selected by tho

to the "All-American" teams of foot

more to the players " e

Greds of competitors naturally cannot
make choice that will suit every one
in every section but the criticism Of
the selection last year was particularly
bitter when the anstere body ranked
the great boy wonder, Vincent Rich
ards as No. q.
What the committee will do about
Richards this year is causing consider
able speculation. Most of the follow
rrs of the court game are unanimous
that the committee can place the
Fordham collegian no lower than third
behind William II. Tilden and William
NJ. Johnson, the stars of the Ameri-
can Davis Cup team.
Fred Hawthorne, one of the best
tennis writer's and critics in New York,
recently announced the ten players
that in his Judgment were entitled
to selection. He rated them in the fol-
lowing order: Tilden, Johnston, Rich

 The couple were in an autom obife Which ran off a bridge in Branford yesterday and fell upon thed railroad tracks beneath a few moments before an express train reached that place.

Tracks in the soft, ground at the bridge showed the automobile swerved sharply before striking the bridge railing Loveland says he had steered out to avoid another machine and in so doing struck the railing.
