THOMAS J. LYNCH, NEW PRESIDENT OF
NATIONAL LEAGUE.
doesn't divide authority on the ball
field, but he says there's no chance of
going back to it.
1.-The double system must stay now"
he says. THE public wouldn't stand
for a change back to the old days."
Lynch is built close to the ground
short, stocky and strong. Sharp eyed,
hair of iron gray, a face that shows a
rudy tan of a man that has been
years out in the open under rays of
many a summers sun and a voice that
suggests strength and fnality Of pur-
pose, he impresses one as a man who
is boss Of the works, no matter what
the nature of the works.
A great deal has been written of the
dignity of Lynch when he was an um-
pire and of the respect he demanded
from the players. This was no false
show on Lynch's part. AS old timers
will tell you, he was a man and de-
n to be treated as a man. An *
ample of Lynch's manhood is shown

cold with a punch on the jaw when the
old New York first baseman rushed at
him fercely in protesting a decision.
Just before the next days game start
ed Lynch, turning to the grand stand,
took off his hat and addressed the
fans in this strain:
Ladies and Gentlemen-I sincerely ask
your pardon for my breach of propriety
yesterday. While I am only human, I
realize that as an umpire it is my duty
to uphold my dignity and tina of the
game. 1 trust you will let my future con-
duct atone for my r%egrettable action
Another incident of his career as an
umpire in Chicago back in 1856 is re-
called.
A. G. Spalding, the famous maker of
sporting goods. sat in a box at the
game and naturally vas roofing for
Chicago. Mrs. Lynch sat in the same
box as Mr.. Spalding's guest. The game
was close and exciting, and at one
stage Lynch made a decision which
beat Chicago. MI. Spalding was very
much disappointed at the defeat of the
team. and when Lynch met him in
that box later Mr.. Spalding remarked
that the decision was very unfortunate
and let it. go at that.

GOOD COUPON SCHEME.
One That Will Minimize The Credit
Business and Build Up Trade.


Business and Build Up Trade.
This is not u boost for any premium
coupon scheme, as we are opposed to
this method Of attracting trade only
along legitimate lines. The coupon
scheme which we commend as being
one of great merit is one that is no
doubt we'll known to the trade all over
one that we believe will minimize the
credit business and at the same time
in a store where it has never been tried
may prove an innovation that will
bring new trade to the store.
Small books are printed containing
coupons Of the value of S.. The cou.
pons in the book come in one cent, five
cent, ten cent and twenty-five cent de-
nominations and are so divided that
each has an equal or proportionate
amount. making it possible for the
book to be used up at the same time
without any shortening of the differ
ent units.
Cash is paid for these books in ad-
vance, and when shopping the total
amount of each or all purchases are
deducted from the book. In this way
the buyer can tell just how much per
week or month she is spending, and
the storekeeper minimizes his credit
business. as he can make the ironclad
rule that the books are to be sold by
cash in advance. The credit question
is one that is and will continue to be a
source of great worry to all mer-
chants. and every advantage that can
be gained toward a stoppage Of this
credit practice should be tried and
given q good test as to it's ACCESSIBILITY,
The ordinary merchant is acquainted
with or soon becomes acquainted with
his trade. and by adopting this coupon
scheme he works nc hardships on any
one, but absolutely safeguards his ac-
counts. as it is no more wrong for the
merchant to ask SIS in advance from
his customers than it is for the us
toner to ask for an i~ncalculable
amount of credit.

TIBURON MYTH EXPLODED.
Explorers Find No Humans or Any
Sian of Mines on the Island.

Sign of Mines IN the Island.
Tiburon island is no longer a mys-
terry. Savage Seri Indian cannibals
were supposed to guard rich gold and
silver mines in the interior of the
island.
The other day seven Americans re-
turned to Nogales, Ariz, after spend
ing three months on the island. They
Quilted at Nogales and proceeded by
boat to kano bay, off the mainland
opposite the island. There they were
met by twenty Seri Indians, who agreed
to guide them over the island, which
they said contained no valuable mines.
The island was found to be twenty
miles wide and %thirty-fve miles long,
well watered, with much grass. No
humans live on it, but it is alive with
deer and wild pigeons. The party
made a thorough exploration, but
found no trace of minerals or Of old
mines.

Griff to Can His Scouts.

Clarke Griffith. manager Of the Gin
cinnati Reds, is going to can his staff
of scouts. In view of the fact that
Sleuth Heilbroner picked up Dick
Egan, Hurry Gaspar, Jack Rowan, Bob
Bescher and Dick Hoblitzell for Gin
%cinnati, 1t looks like a bad move on
the part of the old fox. Without that
bunch Garry Herrmann's Red Legs
wouldn't qualify for the cellar cham
pionship. And Griff got $1,000 bonus
for finishing in the first division.

Egg Eating Feat.

Judge Wooden, an auctioneer of Mo-
berry, Mo-, went to Centralia, Mo-, the
other day in response to a call from a
friend, who had made a wager Of 500

ten minutes. The feat was accom-
plished at noon in a Centralia hotel,
Wooden eating the forty eggs in just
exactly six minutes. After eating the
forty eggs Wooden went to a friends
house for supper and ate as much as
two average men would have eaten.

The umpire is going to be the big
thing in baseball next season. Tom
Lynch, the newly elected president Of
the National league, was an umpire
himself, and naturally his sympathies
are with the man who holds the in
dicator, the man on whom for years
both players and the fans have heaped
their wrath and ridicule.
Although Mr.. Lynch isn't ready to
discuss the subject of umpires in de-
tail, he doesn't hesitate to say that
conditions today on the ball field are
much different from those of the old
days. The umpire's job is easier now,
and the players aren't so hard to han

Princess Anna of Lowenstein-W or-

under the name Of Karma, an inven-
ton to prevent seasickness by keeping
the berths horizontal, no matter how
eve the ship may roll. The balance is
maintained by gimbels similar to those
in use on marine compasses, but the
princess also employs magnets and
electricity. The inventor believes the
principle is adaptable to guns on war

The relations between Syracuse and

been strengthened by Il three year
agreement for a track meet. 1t is pre-
sumed that Syracuse, having failed to
meet any response from Cornell, got
Michigan as q rival worth while.
Whether Syracuse will meet the In
dams and Colgate, too. is not yet GER
tain, but a track team can stand three
meets in a season.
This also will give Michigan a fair
tryout before the intercollegiate cham
pionships. Hitherto the interclass
games and the o. S. q. meet have been
about all the Wolverines had, and
those two meets weren't test enough.
With Syracuse to tackle there will be
something for the Michigan men to
work for.
