FANTASTIC IDEA
SURE WILL FAIL
Hermann Would Have Series OF
Twelve Games Between Major
League Clubs.

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-When the
magnates OF the National league re-
sumed their sessions at the Hotel
Breslin this afternoon, II was with
the definite assurance that President
Thomas j. Lynch would be re-
elected.
The only fight expected was on the
length Of his term. President Garry
Hermann, OF the Cincinant Reds
who is Lynchs chief hacker. had al
ready secured five votes toward
Lynch's reelection. all that were
necessary.
Hermann wants Lynch TO serve
three years instead of the customary
one. AS this would require six votes
of the eight TO be cast, Hermann was
busy all morning trying to round VI
the ether vote. He refused to say
whether he had been successful but
intiMated that he thought his plan
would go through.
The schedule adopted last year by
the National league, proved very un
satisfactory. and there was every in
dication early today that the mag
mates would return 10 the plan III
force in the American league. and not
scatter the games over SO long a
period of time.
Hermann had a scheme which III
put up to the American and Nationa
leagues OF having each league play d
schedule Of 1l2 games, at the expira
ton Of which each club In the Ameri
can league was TO play each club il
the National league a series of eigh
games, four in the home town Of eacf
club. In this way he expected TO ar
rive at the worlds championship OF
a better basis. Hermann announced
that he would urge the adoption oil
such a schedule. but there seemed nc
chance that il would go through al
this meeting.
At the same time the National
league met at the Breslin, the Ameri
can league magnates got together a.
the Hotel Wolcott. 1t was expected
they would complete their labors in
an hour, for President Ban Johnson
who has been elected president for a
long term OF years. usually does all
the work OF the league, and then calls

Philadelphia Girls Out.
A few days before Christmas several
thousand shirt waist workers in Phila-

Philadelphia shops to manufacture
waists for them during the struggle.
Whatever the opponent of trades un-
ionism may think of the matter 1t
cannot be disputed that the loyalty of
the great majority of the striking girls
to their cause is direct refutation of
the ancient aphorism that you can't
get women to stand together. These

in solid phalanX while the grlnning
wolves of hunger snarled viciously at
the doors Of nearly all their homes.

Late In December 1T was announced
by the management of the New York

622 exhibitors had obtained space. All
these are American manufacturers.
Eighty-six of them are makers of COM
plete automobiles. The rest manufac-

walking past Grants tomb. on River
side drive, in New York. A "horseless
carriage" whizzed by. leaving a gaso-
line stencil that almost overpowered
pedestrians. But every pedestrian, in
Guiding. the self sufficient natives of
tho metropolis. paused to gaze at the
automobile Those who were going in
the opposite direction twisted their
necks to rubber until the tendons
almost creaked. At that time it was
said there were but twelve automo-

the license tags issued arc in excess of
$4,000 in that state alone Great Is the
automobile! .t M
No. longer, In any UP to date town of
America do we stop to stare when an
automobile appears. We hustle to get
out OF its way. There arc remote fast
nesses whereto the automobile has not
penetrated. but in all substantial farm
ing communities tho horseless vehicle
Is almost as familiar q sight as the
horse himself. Any horse that SHES
at an auto these days Is considered a
greenhorn by his mates, the "Rube" of
his race.
The automobile is built nowadays to
carry one passenger or thirty. Some
OF the big Seeing city carryalls can
accommodate almost. as many passen-
gers as a day coach on n railroad.
Prices range from $3.50 to any sum you
feel like paying. Every year tho ma
chimes arc improved and the prices arc
lowered. The prediction made few
years ago that in time the automobile
Will become the poor mans vehicle
seems almost ready to be verified by
the fact.
Several cars carrying four or flve
persons nre built now and sold at
something like $3.50. several others of
two passenger capacity are priced at
$500 and less. while there is a "skclc-
ton" machine or two at half that price.
But any one who really wants an au-
tomobile need not pay even the mini
