The Republican office to be judged.
All Of them had some points Of

are printing It Just as It was written,
and the merit Of the articles lies IN
the fact that It Is reasonable and

that were very good In part. One
pupil spoiled very good article by
repeating the word large" until it
became monotonous and ineffective.

landscape by laying out cemetery
inside OF the city limits. Several
showed their appreciation Of their
home paper by saying something
very good Of The Republican. for
which we extend thanks. Most of
them had a good word for the
Commercial Club, but not one Of
them remembered the Village I'M
provement Society. Most Of them
predicted street cars, the removal Of
saloons, better public health, less
insanity and more business. Quite a
number of them predicted the re-
moval of lot of little wooden build
ings on Mr.. Dunn's property, and
many Of them installed library and
amusement grounds.
This is the one written by Allie
Gibbons which we thought the most
practical in every way, but we have
to apologize for his spelling.

MURPHY AND GRIFFITH
 FAIL TO CLINCH TRADE

Cincinnati, Dec. s0.-President Charles Murphy of the Chicago Cubs and Manager Clark Griffith Df the Cin- xctnnati Reds had a long conference this week. The object of the confab was to effect the transfer of Pitcher "Rip" Hagerman from the Cubs to the Reds and Pitcher Bob Spade from the Reds to the Cubs. Nothing was ac- compiished. however, and at the end of the discussion both men stated that they were farther from deal than be- fore the meeting
 Griffith was very anxious to get Ha- german and did not hesitate to part with Spade to make a deal. being will ing to throw in an extra man or two But the extra man desired by. Murphy was a player that the Red leader could not think of parting with. The de- mands of the Cub leader were regard ed as unreasonable by the Cincinnati management. and 80 Murphy and Griffifh parted without coming to an agreement. They declined to reveal the identity of the players under dis cussion, with the exception of Spade and Hagerman.
 .g Grifith stated that the whole mat ter had fallen through and that there ie not the slightest possibility of the Chicago and Cincinnati clubs making any kind of an exc>iange.
 President Murphy spent the holi- days with his parents at Wilmington, 0. He was on his way back to Chica- go when he stopped over in this city to see Manager G.lffith. the meeting having been arranged by mail.

However, 1908 Has ft on 1909 in Matt ter of Additions by Six Nnmes--The Se-
 lecffoun.

According to the tabuiated pedigrees of the new 2:1o trotters of 1909. there were thirty-eight additions to this se- lect list. Exclusive of Stamboul (2:07 1-2) and Guy (2.os s-4) whose re- cords are allowed by the National Trotting Association, but not by the American Trotting Register Associa- tion, there are at the close of the sea- son of 1909 exactly 100 of the 2:l0 trotters. The following table shows the yearly output of such trotters since 1884. the year that Jay-Eye-See. the first 2:10 trotter, took his record of 2:10. Jay-Eye-See trotted in 2:10 Au- gust 1, 1884. at Providence, R.sI., and the next day, August 2. Maud s. re- duced the record to 2:09 3-4 at Cieve- land, O., and further reduced it Mo- vember II the same year. at Lexington. Ky, to 2:09 1-4, which record she again lowered at Cleveland, O., in 1885 to 2:08 3-4. Maud s. was champion trot- ter. until 1891, which year Sunoi, over the Stockton, Cal. kite track, reduced the record to 2:0S 1-4, Nancy Hanks re- ducing it to 2:04 in 1892, Alix reducing 1t to 2:03 3-4 in 1904, The Abbott re- ducing 1t to 2:02 3-4 in 1900.

 Count Jacques de Lesseps. son Of the late Viscomte Ferdinand cs Lesseps. made his second unsuccesful attemp today to win the 100 kilometres-cross- country-prixe, but broke down after covering fifteen kilometres. At Iuvisy, de IaGrange made flight of 200 kilo- metres (124 miles). in 2:36:oo.
 Henry Farmar, the English aero naut. won the Michelin cup at Mour- melon, Nov. 8, last. beating all aero plane records for duration and distance. Hubert Latham, the French aeronaut, holds the officiai record for altitude. Owing to the deficuity in measuring height attained by aeroplanes. there is soIlie discrepancy as to this record, but If Ia placed between 1900 and l,s0n feet.

LYNCH NO-HIT PITCHER
PRESIDENT OF NATIONAL. LEAGUE
 WAS SOME TWIRLEsR.
Was Also the First Man to stand Be- hind Bat and Wear . Chest
 Protector,

Boston, Mass, Dec. 3o.--Among the old-tim fans in this section the cleo tion of Thomas J. Lynch. the veteran umpire. to the presidency of the Ma tional League brought back pleasant memories of notable games unknown almost to the present generation. Lynch is well known here. and. in fact. made nis debut as an umpire nc in isss fhs Nfm as was the first man behind the bat to wear a chest protector. and became well known by his calling of balls and strikes in a thunderous voice.
 Lynch started his baseball career as a pitcher away back in 1880. While pitching for the Nationals against the Baltimore on May 24. 1880. he shut out the latter team without hit. He foi- lowed the playing end of the game for several years, and in 1892 joined the National League staff of umpfres. At once he gave satisfaction, and 1t was not long before he grew into popular favor. It was Q treat to witness q game In whieh Lynch nssa ofiiciafsd' tea .s.,s nation as an umpire, owing to Ill health. President Nick Young. how ever, urged him to withdraw 1t, and a few days later he reconsidered the the president that caused him to change his mind.
 He had many trying times as an um- pire. and on several occasions was booked for good beating by irate ball players. One of his most important escapades was on August 6. 1897, when he became enraged at the continued tongue lashings hurled at him by Jack Doyle, of the Baitimores, and fined him $500. besides hitting him. The trouble occurred at the close of the game. and the ground in front of the grandstand was the scene of a fierce conflict. Only the arrival of the police separated the combatants.
 On this occasion Doyle learned se- were lesosn, and ther unruly ball play CTS profited by his experience. Lynch was a man not to be trified with, stern, yet fair, and ball players generally liked him.
