imistic views.

magazine, out the daily and weekly
press OF the country were filled with
articles predicting failure fnfthe near

BYRON B. JOHNSON ASKS

Chicago, Dec. 20.-That ancient and hon

not to be plucked from mulberry bushes. ac-

him when well-meaning though ill-informed
followers of the game refer to him as Ban

running rampant, however, since the child

reason Mr.. johnson rises to point of or

Where he drew the handle to hts name Is
a secret closely guarded by the American

CHRISTMAS SUGGESTIONS.

wfLLGET THE LETTER


Mr.. Santa Clawse, Montgomery.
Ala"
That address on a letter mailed in
the local post office Saturday made the
clerk pause In the rapid asserting Of
Christmas mail. He laid the letter
aside and Monday II was forwarded TO
the jovial old reindeer chauffeur's
correct address, Dead Letter once,
Washington, d. c."
The fact hat such a letter was mail.
ed in the local office is not unusual
In view of the foods OF such letters
that have deluged the Montgomery pos
tai clerks in past years. But some 1T.
tie fodder has Numbered this time
Perhaps he doesn't read official pos.
tai department bulletins.
For Postmaster Dimmjck has beer
notified that MIR. Santa Clause, alias
Kris Kring1e, alias st. Nicholas has
changed his post Office address from
Montgomery TO Washington. Not that
his headquarters have been removed
from this city, but the tremendous In
crease in Mr.. Claus correspondents
has necessitated the removal OF his
private secretary to the seat of the
nations postal affairs.
So this lone little letter addressed
to Montgomery will reach Mr.. Claus
after all.

New York, Dec. 2o.--Thomas J.

tional League assumed his duties to-
day.
All Lynch would say at this time.
was that he was in favor of uphold
ing the umpires in their decisions and
that he was glad to have the co-opera-
ton of John Heyiler.
The fact that the election OF Lynch
to the presidency has not entirely re-
stored harmonious relations between
the National and American Leagues ID
evident In the statement given out to-
night by John M ward who was the
candidate OF those opposed to the re-
election of John A. Heydler and against
the attitude of Ban B. Johnson, presf-
dent of the American League.
MT. Ward said:
THE election of Mr. Lynch as presi-
1dent of the National League was a
happy solution of the situation. He
was q capable and a high class man.
He has mind of his own and will
have something to say about the busi-
ness of the national commission. With
him as q member Of that body. the
baseball interests of the country may
rest assured that their affairs will
not be conducted In bar rooms and
