Change' Bond Case. Declaring that the principle is too well settled to ; be disturbed Asso ciate Justice W. R. Allen of the Su preme Court denies the petition of the plaintiff for a nearlng in the noted appeal of Hargrave vs. Commission ers of Davidson county involving the validity of the , $500,000 bond issue for roads issued under special act of the last legislature that was put through by Representative : Leonard without the knowledge of the oppo nents of road bonds in the county bonds to be Issued without recourse to an election. The court, just before the close of the, last term, delivered an opinion upholding the bonds and since then they have been sold and the actual work of road building under the spe cial act is under . way. In declining to reinstate the appeal for another hearing Justice Allen says: "The only question Involved is whether a debt created for the con struction and maintenance of public roads is for necessary expense with in the meaning: of Article 7, Seotion7 of the onstitutlon. "We have nothing to do with the wisdom and propriety of creating the debt, now can we consider methods adopted for securing the enactment of the statute under which the defen dant board is acting. These are ques tions which the General Assembly and the people must pass on,, and there is no power in the courts to deal with them. -.'' . "The legal question has been fre quently, decided against the conten ticn of the plaintiff and in coming to a conclusion in this case j at the last term we were doing no more than following well-established precedents The precedents were "recited and Judge Allen continues: "These cases also hold that the courts can do no more than decide whether a particular expense comes within the class of necessary expen ses, and that the amount to be ex pended and the use of it are matters for the General Assembly and the governing authorities of the county." Judge Allen takes the view that the Supreme Court is not capable of-controlling the exercise of power on the part of the General Assembly or of tne county authorities and it cannot assume "to do, without putting itself in antagonism to the General Assem bly as well , as to the county authori ties, and erecting a depatism of five men opposed to the fundamental prin ciples of our Government and the us ages of all times past.

HEMR1K5EN CHAMPIONSHIP WON BY BOSTON RED SOX Hub Team Is Winner of the American League Pennant. Manager BUI Carrlgan Lands His Ma chine on Top After Pretty Fight Credit Also Given to Star ; Outfielders. r (By CHARLES H. CROWELL.) After as pretty a struggle as the most enthusiastic baseball fan could possibly wish for, the Boston Red Sox finally won the American league cham pionship for 1915. Up to almost the Llast game it was anybody's race, but few games separating the leader and tailender. ' To Bill Carrlgan belongs the credit. His earnest, aggressive and at times quarrelsome methods were of vast im portance in the long grind. The Red Sox got away to a poor start owing to sickness and injury, and it was not until the season was well advanced that the players got together, assumed the lead and once out in front they clung on tenaciously. When Jake, Stahl was deposed as manager of the Red Sox the place was given to Carrlgan, and since that day Bill has been making good in every sense of the word. He is an exacting leader. He finds out what a player can do and then insists on that man doing his full duty. , A sluggard has no business on that team. Carrlgan has compelled his stars to work as hard as the recruits. He is a strict disciplinarian and will brook no in terference with his methods. Kept Players on Toes. Starting the season with as classy a staff of pitchers as a manager could desire, an outfield that could not be beaten, and a strong infield. Carrlgan kept his men on their toes all the time. His college training gave him a finesse and to some extent a diplo macy unexpected in one of such ag gressive methods. To begin with, Joe Wood went wrong during last winter, and was slow in rounding to. Wag ner, his star keystone sacker, was also Incapacitated. Dutch Leonard, his first string pitcher, got in bad with President Lannin, but Carrlgan over came all obstacles and finally landed his team on top. , The Red Sox outfield, Speaker, Lew is and Hooper, has worked together for six years and they know how every player who has been around the cir cuit once hits, and where he hits. This ' trio is; the best defensively in the league. Speaker's war club ,and marvelous speed on the bases; Hoop er's well-known trfck of waiting out an opposing pitcher and Lewis' steady hitting, brings them to a point of ex cellence second to none. The Detroit outfieldj Cobb, Crawford and Veach, may equal them in many respects, but they do not surpass them. Speaker, with his tremendous speed, can play a shorter field than any. other center. Hooper and Lewis possess arms of steel and it behooves an opposing player to watch his steps whenever he makes what looks like a sure sin gle, or he may be thrown out at first Many fielders may have as many as sists at the end of the season as this trio, but that is because most Amer ican league baserunners know when and where to stop. The individual and team play of these three have been one of the most important fac tors, in keeping the Red Sox in the lead and eventually capturing the flag. 1 Pitchers Worked Well. Outside of the illness of Wood and the sulkiness of Leonard, Manager Carrlgan has not had to worry a great deal about his pitchers. "Babe't RuthGeorge Foster and Ernest Shore, Vean Gregg and Mays, have all done mighty well, not only in the box, but also at bat Ruth has a batting av erage well above the -.3 00 mark. Joe Wood.he star of the string, is one of the rare individuals who does well ev erywhere he attempts. He is a fine iellow personally and is well liked by his companions on the club. The Red Sox, besides their strong outfield and classy staff of. pitchers, has an almost ideal infield. Hoblit zel, Barry and Gardner, are hard to beat and. many blossoming base hits have been jnipped in the bud. by this quartette. And then, in case of acci dent Gainer, Janvrin and Wagner are always on hand to fill any gap. Few interviewers have ever been able to talk to Carrlgan as to his suc cess. He is not bashful, but his gruff, unfriendly manner makes him doubly hard to thaw out Because of this, few characteristics of his have come to the surface.' Off the ball field he is unusually silent and thoughtful. .Carrigan has had an extra load to carry, as he was promoted to the lead ership of the Red Sox over his team mates, and in some cases he found others were not so certain that Carri gan was the man fof the Job. He has had to contend with cliques, with less er, lights aspiring to his official head and with disgruntled players. But his roughshod methods , have overridden all obstacles, until now he is recog nized by players and "fans" alike as the first man of the Red Sox. i.?e was bom " m Lewiston, , Me., thirty-three years ago,of a family of modest means, and was selected for a clerical vocation.
