New York, Dec. 14.-With the Nation
al League in session and ready, 1t was
thought to get down to the business OF
electing a president and the annual
meeting of the American League on the
days program today gave promise OF
being one of the busiest In this pussy
baseball week in New York city. There
seemed to be little or no doubt that
Thomas L. Lynch would be reelected
to the presidency of the older organ1Za-
ton. on the authority Of the President
Hermann it was stated at least hVe
clubs, New York, Pittsburg, Cincinnati
Boston and st. Louis would vote FOR
Mr.. Lynchs retention. 1t may be de-
cided to give him a three year term
Ban B. Johnson last year was elected
president of the American League for
20 years, so that the younger organiZa-
ton has no presidential election on It's
hands. Routine business such as the
awarding of the championship pennant
to the Philadelphia Athletics, and ac-
ton on the schedule question was pre-
dicted not to occupy more than two
hours time.
The one thing which gave any prom
Use of prolonging the meetings OF the
big leagues, was possible discussion of
a new schedule plan which Garry Herr
mann, has advocated.
The Cincinnati president is quoted as
favoring a schedule of liz games for
each league, which would carry the
then to start a series of interleague
games. Under this plan each club
would play four games at home and
four abroad with each team OF the
other league or 81 games in ali in which
teams of the National league would be
pitted against American league teams.
Each club would thus play 176 games
during the season which would start
about April 10 and close about Oc-
tober ID. The worlds championship
series would be eliminated, it being
calculated that the team winning the
greatest number of games in the whole
season would be deserving of a real
worlds championship title. From
statements attributed to President
johnson there seems little probability
that the American league would take
kindly to this plan for this season at
least It was indicated that the Ameri-
can league season would be likely to
begin about April IL and consist of the
usual 154 games.
What the other National league mag
mates thought about the new inter-
league schedule proposition had not
been developed up to the time the club
representatives met together for the
days business.

Wichita, Kan, Dec. 14.-Kansas is
again blessed with recent laureIs won

ago and Joined the other nags on the

Alice Roosevelt is by the Search

mark of 2:0S1s during the late season.
She is one of the many offsprings Of
the McGregor family which has assist
ed in making Kansas one of the best

country.
The returns for the harness racing
season, at least SO far as the mile
tracks are concerned, are now COM
plete, and one of the most interesting
things which they reveal is that never
before has a campaign been distin-
guished by so many 2:10 trotters as
was that of 1910. The 2:10 list is
trotting aristocracy and the annual
roster of the accessions to it to COM
prise the years topnotchers.
Previous to 1910 the record num-
Der of new 2:10 trotters for a single
season was forty-four. in 1908. Early
the last season it was apparent that
when the end was reached a new one
would be established, and this has
proved the case The results. how-
ever, have exceeded all expectations,
for when the curtain fell at Phoenix
and the name of Zombronut (2:0S1z9
had been posted on the books as the
last possibility, there were fifty-seven
