THE MARYLAND ELECTION.

Four thousand German votes were
thrown out in Baltimore because the
voters made mistakes in voting four
men for Judges of the Orphans court
instead of three. This was accord
ing to the ruling of the Board of FL
ection Supervisors. Had it not been
for this blunder the state would have
gone democratic. This unfortunate
miscarriage has given rise to many
puns and cartoons One of the Balti-
more papers represents President Taft
reading the returns from Maryland
with his characteristic smile. Anoth-
eT represents the democratic donkey
with his hoofs in steel trap. 1t
is said that the ballots were prepared
in a manner calculated to cause the
mistakes which followed, and that the
democrats supposed it would prove
beneficial to their candidate. The
entertained the same
hope. Such devices are always like
ly to be double-edged and in the case
of the Maryland election it was veri-
table boomerang.

ROAST FOR BARTELME.
Michigan Daily Reader Make Com
nent on Situation.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Jan. 17.-An an
onymous communication published
i'm the Michigan Daily last week has
aroused the ire of the athletic authorl-
ties and an investigation of the source
of the letter may follow.
The communication deplores the
fact that the three student members of
the board in control OF athletics at the
University of Michigan were elected
by the board of directors Instead OF
the student members of the association
at open election The letter stated
openly that the student members OF
the board were dominated by Director
Bartelme. who is really the power that
rules the whole athletic situation at
the school
1t is not generally believed that there
is any undue influence brought to bear
in the disposition of Michigan athletic
matters.

Thomas j. Lynch. president of the Ma

statement.
"They all have certificates from
their own opticians" says President
Lynch.
The spring training trips so thought
fully suggested for the benefit of these
much looked after officials also have
met an untimely end. Mr.. Lynch de-
livered himself of the following on this
issue:
Our umpires get all the spring train

to bring umpires and ball players into
the close relationship which a southern
! trip together would be bound TO do

popularity of the game last year.

FOR THOROUGHBRED

New York, Jan. 17.-Quite a crusade

invasion of American bred horses
Judging from the feeling existing
among some owners and breeders
there worked up to n pitch by astcund-

garding the outcome OF the magnitude
of the invasion, there are some persons
who do not wish TO see American
horses shipped 10 England, especially
yearings, for the purpose of sale. 1t is
claimed that the Americans are de-
stroying the English market, and a pc
tition will I'm the near future be
handed to the jockey club asking that
body TO take some action with regard
to the taxing Of all foreign bred
horses sent To- Englands shores
Jack Joyner has become one OF the
most popular trainers in England. Mr.
Whitney is spoken OF as "our popular
American visitor" and columns have
been written about his horses and their
successes. In the stakes of the flu
ture special attention is drawn to th'
foreign entries, nine-te nths of which
are American, from the stables OF Mr.
Whitney. Mr.. Vanderbilt, Mr.. Belmont
Mr.. Keene and John Madden, yet some
one is trying to persuade a host Of
men that such admirable sportsmer
are not wanted, o. at least theil
horses are not.
1t has been proposed to tax every
horse not bred in England $3.50 which
would kill off the importation of year
lings.
The whole thing may be q crack a
