LEND FELLOWSHIP
AND DANISH WASTE
This the Keynote of HartneSS In
augural
lSpeclal to The Rcriaerl

Montpelier, Ian. 7-Governor James
Hartness this afternoon delivered his
inaugural message to the joint assem-
bly in the hall of the house of repre-
sentatives. Saying that is was impos-
5ible at this time to "refer to all the
major subjects that must be considered
during the session, and pointing out
that his message woul deal primarily
with Introductory matter, the new
governor made an earnest plea for
the best spirit of fellowship and CO.
operation" which, be said would "be
The greatest aid to US as we formulate
our policies and shape our laws to fit
conditions today"
Special Messages to Follow
The governor did not read his entire
Introductory message" but merely a
part of it. The complete message in
printed form will be placed in the
hands of the legislators. Governor
Hartness did not outline a legislative
program, saying he recognized the true
province of the legislature and adding
that he would avail himself of the
executives right to present special
messages on special subjects as the
occasion would require
His first message is devoted to an
application of his plea for harmony,
Of cooperation for the general good OF
the state. to q plea for the use of true
business principles and the elimination
Of waste in. administering the states

tunities in Vermont, and methods of

Welcome Women Into Government
The opening references in the mes
sage was to the fact that this is the
first assembly in which woman has
held seat representing a Vermont
constituency. The governor welcomed
women into active participation "in
representing Our people,, saying that
"women's coming into full equality in
suffrage bodies we'll for humanity, iu-
asmuch as woman is the most natural
representative of the home,
Warns Against Sectionalism
Governor Hartness made a strong
appeal to the legislators not to permit
the influence of sectional ambitions to
influence unduly legislation, which is

NAVY LIFE MADE.
DARCY A F|STMAN
Former PhiIadelphian Was a
knockout Demon" While In
the Outfit" of U. s.
rs THE HAWAIIAN CHAMPION
BY LOUIS III. JAFFE

T IFE in the navy inspired one Johnny
- Darcy to try his dukes at the gentle
art of hit or get hit. As sailor man
this lad, who Is just out of his teens
and at one time was resident OF South
Philadelphia, was the knockout de-
mon" Of the Atlantic Fleet.
In civilian life, before joining the
Outfit, Darcy never thought Of be-
coming a boxer. But the recreation of
flinging mitts in the general direction
of somebody jaw, and, the merry tune
Of the leather against flesh tattoo made
hit with John.
Hence his entrance into the field of
fisticuffs. Darcy was stationed on
ship that took Nthe midshipmen from
Annapolis on a cruise through the Canal
to Honolulu in 1910, and on the re-
| turn along the western coast. Almost
every day Johnny whiled away part
of the afternoon on deck by khocking
COB or two with pugilistic aspirations
| for row of port holes.
Darcy became the knockout sensation
of that cruise, and whenever In port
he managed to get q match on shore.
"a long string of X. O.s was rolled up
by this sailor man, and when he was
honorably discharged from the service
he decided to follow the profession Of
punching the other fellow on the chin.
Out of a total of A bouts Darcy has
glovcd IL of his opponents into the
| land of the chirping brides. He has
appeared in q number of matches at the
Madison Square Garden, y. Y. c.,
where his aggressive and gritty style
Of boxing hns made him a favorite.
Two of Darcy's matches at the Square
were against Joe Tiplitz. of this city,
and Manuel Azevedo, of California.
Darcy forced both Tip and the Por-
, tuguese puncher to show to advantage in
sizzling scraps.
On Thanksgiving Day the former
mariner boxed in Philadelphia at the
National A. A. He was n winner over
Jimmy Murphy, of West Philadelphia,
In such splendid set to that his fu =
ture services in this city were assured.
This was the second appearance of
Darcy here, having boxed Jack Toland
six rounds about two years ago.
Two features that stand out promi- =
nently on Darcy record are the winning
of the Hawaiian lightweight champion
ship at 135 pounds from Bobby Moore
knocking him out in seven rounds al
Honolulu, and the scoring of three K
los In a week. Each of these knock
outs occurred In the second round, Dave
Medar, Joe Floric and Silent Regar
being knocked down and carried out.
Darcy is making his home in Brook
lyn, y. y, at the present time.

WEST CHESTER TO

Will Play First Game in This
City Tonight at Down.
towners' Hall
EASTERN LEAGUE LINEUP

THE West Chester basketball team,
l. the best club outside of the Eastern
League and conceded By many to he
better than several teams in the big
circuit. will play its first game of the
season in this city tonight. meeting the
Aquinas five at the latter's hall. Eight
eenth and Morris streets.
The visitors will lineup with an All
Eastern League outfit. At forwards will
be Bill Black and Fiddle Trautwein.
Sam Moorehead will jump center, and
the guards will be Billy Miller and Cy
Simindinger. All, with the exception of
Black. were playing in the Eastern cir
suit until recently. and Black formerly
was with Germantown. Watson and
Mercer. n pair of reliable substitutes,
complete the West Chester lineup.
AIuinaS will present its regular line
up. which has been good enough to
beat the best. In meeting West Ches-
ter the dOwntowners are playing the
hardest foe possible to secure, and n
team that could defeat nt least several
of the clubs holding franchises in the
Eastern circuit 1t is likely that West
Chester will challenge Coatesville at
the end of the season for the champion
ship of the county, and many favor
West Chester to win.
Close for Skeeters
Twenty seven Coatcsvlle rooters and
Manager Jawn Bahnpy had visions Of nm
Eastern League victory over Camden
last. evening. The vision was good for
thirty seven minutes and forty seconds,
when Neil Dieghan put 1t to fight.
1t looked, to all appearances, as II
the SkeeterS we're due to receive one OF
| their few defeats on the home court, but
two field goals in rapid succession In the
closing minutes turned the tide. The
final score was 81 10 25. and at hall
time the totals were Il to 6.
During the first half the visitors
played rings around the home contin-
gent. Never has the Camden team been
SO outplayrd, sand never before has any
club held them to six points In n single
half. The Skccters made the half dozen
tallies in the first four minutes, and
then did not score single point for
sixteen minutes.
New Team In Manufacturers
Admitting the NJ. ]. Dougherty five
and dropping international Harvester
was the big move at the Philadelphia
Manufacturers League pow WOW last
night.
The Harvesters had made poor
showing, losing four straight games. and
their resignation had been expected.
Although green in the cage game, the
newcomers are fortunate in having sea =
sOned players and n veteran helmsman.
The latter is none other than T.
Walter McGrath. former Industrial and
American League official. He has had
wide experience in athletics and the
ironworkers future Is virtually as
sured.
Taking over International Harvester y
four defeats will keep them out of the
running for the first half flag, but the
second half will in all probability see
them up with the leaders.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 2S (by Asso- ciated Press) Mrs. Gladys Witheral, wife of c. & Witheral, president of the Los Angeles Investment Company, who disappeared Tuesday, was kid mapped and is being held for ransom, according to communications reach ing relatives.
