MERGER WILL CAPTAIN
 PENN TEAM NEXT YEAR

Philadelphia, Dec. 16-In the storm fest athletic meeting ever held at the University of Pennsylvania LeRoy Mercer, the all-American fullback. yesterday afternoon was selected by his team mates to captain the Penn football team next year.
 This selection breaks all precedents. as Mercer is only sophomore. He was opposed by Fred l.. Ramsdell, the halfback. who next year will take postgraduate course and by all precedents should captain the team.
 It is understood that at the meet ing the old fight which occurred dur ing the CorneH<Penn game was re- newed. After the first period of that game Ramsdell openly accused Hutch inson Scott. the Penn quarter of re- fusing to give him the ball in order to keep Ramsdell. off the all-Ameri- can eleven. Ramsdell refused to con- tinue in the game if Scott was kept at quarter and as a result Hough was substituted and Ramsdel remained in the game.
 Shortly after this Mike Murphy Penn's trainer made a statement in which he deplored the practice of picking all-Americans. declaring the practice demoralized the elevens through jealousy.

JUMPS MUST TAKE EXAMS, DECLARES
 PRESIDENT LYNCH
Especial from United Press.)


 New York. Dec. 16-President Lynch made the announcement yesterday that hereafter no handler of the indi- catOrS will be on the payroll who has not undergone a strict examination following a heated discussion among the baseball magnates. Some of the fans suggested that no umpire be ap- pointed whose eyes are other than baby blue in color. that they may match the general color scheme. O h. CTS want the umpires examined for ophthalmy. stigmatism, conjunctives. trabismus. sclerosis, and other ail- mentS.
 The National League magnates are still in session. though litt tle business of importance is expected to be trans acted at today's meeting. which was due to open at noon at the Hotel Bres- lin. The surprise of yes .erdayS meet ing was the dropping of Charles Eb- bettS, of Brooklyn. from the sched- ule committee. Ebbetts has been on this important committee for 20 years. and has framed more baseball sched- ules than any other man. It is thought Lynch had a chance to get back at the Brooklyn magnate for his continued opposition, and forced him off the committee. It was Ebbetts and Murphy who. last year. held out for the season which gave Brooklyn a couple of games on Columbus Day.
 The committee for the coming year will be President Lynch. Secretary Heydler and President Dreyfuss of Pittsburg. The schedule committee will report in February.

 Entering on his second term as pres idents of the National League. Thomas J. Lynch at the session of that body yesterday tried to learn just how the magnates wanted him to handle the umpire problem. There was a long discussion about the referees. certain arbitrators having been accused of having nothing like normal vision. The result of the discussion was that when the czars of the diamond are appointed for the next campaign they will have to visit an oculist and have their eyes examined. Would not be a bad idea to have Chief Kennedy of the tight little right little Connecticut League do the same.

teacher and daily companion at home had
been his good-natured, weIl-meaning but
uneducated father, a poor farmer on the
Western Plains.
During four or SIX months OF each year
Peter went to the little district school

quietly and to laugh moderately; 10 ask
few questions, and to avoid being rude
or sold toward others; TO use knife and
fork properly and many other ways TO
follow certain rules OF etiquette
And Peter Anderson, having none OF
this training soon became known as

After Mr.. Jones had departed for town

shanty 20 wash up the breakfast things
She was IN the midst of her mornings
work when suddenly strange odor came
70 her on the wind. She dropped the
work and went to the door. shifting the
atmosphere. A shudder went through her
old body, for it was burning grass that
she smeit. And far to the west hung
low line Of blue-blaek haze, to the frontier
people sign Of the fire which is coming.

had no place Of safety. There was one
field broken, but II was only fve-acre

in the midst of the smoke and fire would
be out Of the question. And she could
