his reappointment as a New York State

No wonder Thomas J. Lynch. the new
president Of the National League, would
not take the job unless he had Heydler
for secretary treasurer. Mr. Lynch
was a great and good umpire and has
followed baseball closely ever since he
quit the diamond, but there is a mass
Of detail connected with his new DO
sition which could not have been as
simulated for a long time. He has a
good business head and knows the prac-
teal as well as the administrative end
of the game, which, with Heydler,
should put the National League on a
stronger footing han it has had for
some years. espSt lily since It is deveI-
oping generation. OF young stars.
