Thorpe Hopes for New
Record on Labor Day

NEW YORK. Aug. 29.-James Thorpe,
the Carlisle Indian, hopes to achieve
new worlds record in the all-around
athletic championship at Celtic Park
Monday. The record is held by Mar
tin Sheridan, who made 1886 points in
the 1909 championship. Thorpe believes
he can better this by 200: Sheridan
will be unable to compete this year,
and Thorpe's chief rival will be John
Bredemus, of Princeton, who held the
title two years ago.

Welcome, Jack.

Welcome once more to our glorious
city, Jack Lenvelt. You might not have
been the peerless star of stars when
you wore a National uniform. but you
always gave the best you had. 1t wasn't
your fault that illness prevented you
from being a whirlwind on the paths,
but you ran as fast as you could. We
are all glad to see you back again under
the big tent, and hope you will stay a
long time.

Ban Johnson is lucky.

Yesterdays defeat of the Nationals
by the Brownies has averted a storm OF
criticism from the noble brow OF the

is absolutely no justice in Ban john

absolved from the responsibility Of
losing Mondays game. However, yes
terday's exhibition settles the question.

A LTTTIE POINTER
IN. no CLAY COUNTY,

Editor Reflector IN these siren
uous days Of political strife the
thought occurred to me that a word
OF warning to the Republican voters
OF Clay county who are In our sena-
tcrial district, might be timely. A
mans political standing in his own
county ought to be good criterion
for our neighboring county to go
By. In the recent primary the de-
feat of Fl. A. Anderson In Dickinson
for state senator as well as the
defeat OF his master, Goyernor
Stubhn. was overwhelming.
Ought not this fact lead 70 some
pertinent queries from Clay county
as to the reason for this repudia-
tion at home? It seems to me that
defeat at home ought to spell de-
feat in the coming election for this
gentleman in Clay as Il surely will
Ia Dickinson. The complete DOM
Ineering OF Gov. Stubbs over Andre
Eon and the fact that q vote for
Andresson for state senator is
vote for Stubs for United States
senator IL apparent.
DO you simon pure Republicans
of Clay county want Bull Moosers
such AZ these to represent you in
