The league one lesson. and that is that
something must be done to stop the diff
ferences between the umpires and the

zeal of both teams. their desire to win.
Mr.. Young says that the coaching queS-

President Young said: THE 12-clul
league will remain intact not only an
other season. but at least four seasons
besides. The 12-club compact was formed
in 1891 and this is the fifth year of its eX-
stcnce. 1t has four years to run. Base
ball has been more successful under tho
12-club regime than for any five years
previous since baseball became a pro-
fessional sport
