IS INTERNATIONAL National Trotting Association Elects Dominion Member
 to the Board. AMATEURS MAY COME IN Passed Has the Effect of Giving Them Full Pro-
 lection.
AMATEURS MAY COME II

New York, Feb. l2.--Official recog- milton was given the now international character of the National Trotting as- sociation to-day at the session here of the Association biennial congress. The Canadian provinces were made con crete part of the organization by the election of delegate from the Do- minion board of general officers. To make this possible the office of third vice president was created and Alex ander MacLaren of Buckingham, Quebec was chosen for the new of- flee.
 Of even more importance to large numbers of American horsemen was the assocation's action In opening the way to amateur racing under the as- sociation's rules It was provided by an amendment to rule A. that records cannot be made or bars incurred in contests on the tracks of members, for premiums other tha money, when no entrance fee is collected from com peting horses. This rule applies, &C., cording to to-day's action, even if ad- mission is charged at the gate and privileges are sold Otherwise the rules governing public racing shall be enforced and privileges under the rule shall he extended only to organi- zations which are members of the National Trotting association.
 Minor changes which were made in the rules relate to time of accepting mailed entries, the addition of fines to the penalties of expulsion and suspen- sion and to the powers of judges in dealing with drivers and in determin- ing horses eligibility. The rule on entries was changed so that three en- tries and two starters shall be re- auired in purse events unless other wise specified. instead of five entries and three starters as formerly.
 For the twentieth time Mayor P. P. Johnson of Lexington, Ky, was chos- en president of the association. The other officers elected besides MT. Mac I.areri as third vice president were Morgan c. Bulkeley, second vice pres ident.

The basket ball series was SUD- posed to be over after the game sched- uled for last night was finished, but the Eagles under the inspiration e Captain McCuen got their fighting clothes on and played better than they knew how. They started things off with rush as soon as the referees whistle sounded, and scored basket in the first few seconds of play. The whole team played up io iris ,esG and each man in turn connected with the basket, the guards as well as the for wards. Rungee8 was the only man of the Pirates who could locate the goal but if left alone for an instant nc ;:ia the trick and scored. The first half ended with the Eagles in the lead. Score 16 to 12. The second period was fierce contest and the fouls were nu- merous on both sides but few goals were thrown from offence. The Pirates slowly cut down the difference and at the end of the game found themselves the losers but by single point.

Drives for the Cage


 The debut of the Starkie aggregation In Springfield resulted in victory over Bone's quintet. The Boneyards, no doubt pitied the former Boston team in their distress and allowed them to stall the landslide for ne-day-only per- forinance in the Massachusetts burg.
 The locals could afford the defeat without danger of losing their rank, but 1t now remains to turn to-day's and to-morrows battles into victories.
 The games scheduled for tonight are New Haven at Waterbury, New Britain at Providence and Pawtucket at Bridgeport.

From time to time, the Times has mis-
represented Samuel l.. Lennon, alleging
that he was Cannon man and had climbed
into the the Taft band wagon for political
purposes. In this the Times is as malici-
Gus falsifer as in everything else it has
published The fact of the matter is Mr..
Lennon has family ties with the Taft
family and has been talking Taft ever since
his name was first mentioned in that con-
nection If Mr.. Lennon is sent to the
national convention it will be because
Charley Taft has made personal request
of the Republicans of the state, who are
friendly with his brothers candidacy, to
send him to Chicago as one of the delegates
from Washington to the ratification meet
ing at Chicago. Mr. Lennon has done
splendid service for Taft, and the Republi-
cans at Spokane would not go amiss If they
named him as one of the ten delegates to
the Chicago Taft ratification.
Local option, which will be an issue in
the coming campaign OF this state will
hardly be the paramount issue as think the

power to defeat the measure at the polls
believing that if it carries it will be long
step toward eventually placing the state of
Washington in the anti-drink column
Both sides will endeavor to give the voters
a campaign of education on the subject be-
fore it is finally passed upon. It is very
generally believed that the rural districts
will return an overwhelming vote for local
option while the large cities will vote just
the opposite. The advocates believe, ow-
ing to the limited number of large cities
in the state, the country districts will out
vote them and the measure be adopted.

POLITICAL POT PIE

A decided sentiment is pervading Re.
publican ranks against the rotation OF
officers in the court house clique. The peo-
pie are becoming very much fatigued after
over a quarter of century of Dan Abra-
hams and an almost equal period of office
holding on the part Of Others The senti-
ment seems most generally prevalent that
a change in the personel of those occupy
ing county biilets would rebound to the
profit of those footing the bills One phase
of the question not heretofore touched upon
is that feature wherein county officials, by
rotating in office, defeat the very essence
of the constitution wherein it is expressly
prohibited to hold over two consecutive
terms in office. 1t can make but little diff
ference whether Jones is auditor, treasurer,
or clerk for two terms, and succeeded by
the chief clerk of the Office for a similar
period, only to be succeeded again by the
original incumbent; or whether Jones con-
tinues indefinitely in office in contravention
of the constitutional limitations, in SO far
as the spirit and essence of the constitu-
ton is concerned as both of the incumb-
ants are bound to stand or fall together if
they hope to perpetuate themselves in
office, thus destroying the safeguard
thrown about the peoples money by con-
stitutional provision. = Georgetown News
