gate will have to be sliced. The mag mates have found out that it's a tough grade to make with an eighty-four cent stone on their necks. Right now there are two or three magnates who would be willing to step down and out if they could get a reasonable price for their franchises. This, itself, is a tip off on what is coming.
 Players salaries will have to be cut If this reduction is to take place. Pre- pare yourself for a loud yell from the members of the reserve list when this subject is approached. They can't SC ? cut in salary although they agrea that eighty-four cents is a steep ad- every day so their friends won't have to pay in.

Boston. Aug. Civilian T. Ti1den 2d and Vincent Richards are strong favorites for the retention of the na- tiona1 doubles title in the tourna- ment which begins this afternoon on the Chestnut Hills courts of the Longwood Cricket Club. Especially, since the defeat of R. N. Williams 2d and Watson Washburn at Newport by Robert and Howard Kinsey, Pacific Coast champions, have the chances of the present title holders been favor ed. Ti1den and Richards could all ways beat the Kinseys and what they can do against Williams and Wash burn has been too plainly dem on- strated to need renewed conviction.

GARBAGE SQUABBLE
THROWN OUT OF COURT
police Judge Porter Refuses to Pass
on Constitutionality of City
Garbage Ordinance

Declaring himself to be not quail
Fied to pass accurately on the con-
stitutionality of city ordinance.
Police Judge William NJ. Porter Tues
day dismissed the case of the City
Of pullman versus G. L. Chamber
lain in which the city charged that
Chamberlain had violated the provi-
sions of a new city garbage ordin-
ance. The new measure provides
that no person can legally dispose of
garbage as a commercial enterprise
who is not licensed by the city and
the license fee is set at $500 an
nually. Two complaints were filed
against Mr.. Chamberlain, one charg-
ing him with hauling garbage for
hire without a license and the other
charging him with violating the city
ordinance in hauling garbage in open
receptacles.
Mr.. Chamberlain retained NJ. S.
lamar as counsel and Attorney ia
mar filed a demurrer to the COM
plants, arguing that the ordinance
is unconstitutional. Both Mr.. ia
mar and D. c. Dow, attorney for the
city, filed citations on the demurrer.
Police Judge Porter took the case
under advisement for several days.
then dismissed the action. The city
council will hold a special meeting
Monday evening to consider the gar
bage ordinance but it is improbable
that the case will be carried to the
higher courts.
The case has attracted much local
attention because of previous diff
culties between the defendant, Mr.
Chamberlain, and the official gar
bage supervisor, William Brock, one
fistic encounter having been staged
between the two at the city garbage
yard.
Attorney lamar insists that the
ordinance is discriminatory and in
tended to limit the field of garbage
haulers to a single man. The meas
ure provides for the appointment of
an official city garbage supervisor,
with salary of $500 per year, and
places the annual license fee at the
same amount. Attorney lamar
raised the point that Mr.. Brock him
self was operating without license,
alleging that he had not paid the
5000 required by the ordinance, ana
Investigation proved this to be the
case.
