Two phenomenal strings of IA and 16s at the Rose alleys Monday night by Allie Murphy, opportunely com ing at the eleventh hour, overcame the lead of 42 pins held by the New Haven pair, Janswick and West, and turned defeat into victory for the Norwich duo of duckpin artists, Hill and Mur- phy. This was the second and con- cluding series of five games, the first five having been rolled in New Haven last week, when the New Haven pair led by the score of 929 to 922. Last night the Norwich boys led New ,Ha- ven by total pinfall of 1895 to 1034, making the score for the series, Nor wich 2017. New Haven 1863, a winning margin for the home team of 54 pins. With the winning of the match went the purse of $50 to the Norwich team.
 Accompanying the New Haven team were Manager Huntley of the Tuxedo alleys and F. l.. Lautenbach, who had the laugh on the Norwich rooters at the blue outlook for the home team in the first three strings. Starting with their lead of pins from last week. the New Haven pair ran this up to 30 in the first string of the match
 The New Eaveners increased their lead to 50 on the second string, West doing the high work for both teams. On

WESTERLY WOMAN
 GIVES HARVARD BOAT.
Eliot Bacon's Mother Orders English
 ShelI-Ready by March.

A Cambridge. Mass, despatch states that Mrs. Robert Bacon of Westerly, R. l., has presented to the 1910 Har- yard crew a new English boat, which has already been ordered from George Sims & Son of Putney. The shell should be ready for use by the crew when it goes out on the river in the spring, some time in March.
 Eliot Bacon, Mrs. Baeon's son. is a member of this years crew and also rowed on the crews of the two years preceding. Robert Bacon, Jr., his brother. was captain of the 1907 crew, and Gaspar rowed on the four cared for three years.
 For the last three years the English boats which Harvard crews have used in the races against Yale have varied little in design. Practically the only difference between the shells as used by the English and by the Americans consists in the seating arrangement, which is largely matter of custom. Harvard crews have all used the mid dle seating, while the English adhere to the side seating plan.

PRESIDENT LYNCH IN CHARGE.
Newly Elected Executive of National League Assumes Duties-Ward Pre- diets Better Conduct of Business.

New York, Dec. 20.-Thomas J. Lynch, the new president of the Na- tional league, assumed his duties this morning, but requested that the base ball public give him time to acquaint himself with the details of his position before making any statement as to his future plans. All that Lynch would say was that he was in favor of up-' holding the umpires in their decisions and that he was glad to have the CO., operation of John Heydler,
 That the election of Lynch to the presidency has not entirely restored harmonious relations between the Na- tional and American leagues is evil denced by the statement given out to- night by John M Ward, who was the candidates for those opposed to the reelection of John Heydler and against the, attiture of B. B. Johnson, president of the American league. MT. Ward said:
 ',The election of MT. Lynch as presi- dent of the National league was hap py solution of the situation. He was a capable umpire and Is a high class man. He has mind of his own and will have something to say about the business of the national commission. With him as a member of that body the baseball interests of the country may be assured that their affairs will not be conducted in barrooms and cafes"

the third string both Murphy and Hill topped the 100 mark and cut down the New Haven lead to Az. Hills straight ball was giving him a lot of splits and hard spares, but he rolled three strings over 100.
 On the fourth string, Murphy got his curve performing like a trick mule splitting the wood for a total of IA, including three strikes and two spares The Norwich total of 245 cut down the New Haven lead to the small margin of 6, and Murphy wiped this out en- tirely and set the margin the other way by 54, on the final frame, when he rolled 169, in which were included strikes and. spares.
 Murphy's 169 is high single for the alleys made in match, but he has made 175, not in competition. To make high three string mark, he kept on for another string after the match was over. getting 120, which with his two preceding IA and 169, gave him three string mark of 433, which beats any individual three string in this section, including the 412 made recently by MT.

JENNINGS BANKS ON SCHMIDT.
For Three Years He Has Pinned His
 Faith on German for Catcher.

For three years Hugh Jennings has pinned his faith behind the bat in Catcher Schmidt of Detroit and as many times has the husky catcher fail ed him. In 1907 he gave Schmidt the preference over Archer, now the star of the Chicago Nationals. In 1908 he selected Schmidt in preference to Thomas. who this year did great work for the Athletics. In the recent worlds series he selected the Teuton in pref erence to Stanage. who performed in great style in the one game he worked. Each year Jennings has been severely criticised for his action in favoring Schmidt, but he refused to change his opinion. Had Jennings shifted the re- suit might have been different, and then again they may have been no bet ter.

round boxing match here tonight be- tween Jeff Doherty and Bunny Ford, local men. the former had the better of the fight all the way. Both men weighed in at 133 pounds, and gave one of the fastest exhibitions seen here in some time Doherty hit Ford at will until the latter's face was bat tered to a pulp. Ford up to the fifth round failed to strike a blow that amounted to anything and even then little damage was done. Ford was saved from a knockout by the lack of force of Doherty's blows, he having weakened himself to weigh in at the required weight. At the end of the fight Ford's face was badly cut and both eyes blackened and swollen.

Quite following of Jack McGrath's followers is expected to accompany him tonight to Westerly to see him admin ister a beating to Jim Barnes of Springfield in their finish match on the mat. McGrath has been training faith fully at the Y. M. c. A. gym with Dan Murphy and in road work, while Jim Barnes says he is in satisfactory shape to meet the Irish Giant. That seems to promise plenty of doings. Neither man has any love for the other and the match will be for keeps, as McGrath wants to demonstrate to Barnes that the Springfield man has no business in this territory.
