LYNCH THRUSTS BACK
Thinks Murphy TOO Pre-
1IOus" an Criticisms.

Replying to a statement given out on
Thursday by Charles ". Murphy. presi-
dent of the Chicago club of the National
League, in which the latter said that he
would not vote for any changes in the
rules as advocated by President Johnson
of the American League and that in talks
with owners of clubs in the American
League he had learned that almost all
were in favor of adopting a long schedule.
President Lynch of the National League
yesterday said:
IF Mr. Murphy has been correctly
quoted, 1 wish TO state that he is express
sing the views of only Charles Murphy,
president of one club in the League. He
does not speak for the National League.
No criticism of the work of the rules COM
mittee is in order until the changes made
are. officially promulgated by that COM
mitree. and If I understand correctly the
provisions of the national agreement the
power of such committee is absolute and
its acts are not subject to revision or
approval by either major league. This is
as 1t should be, for the making Of playing
rules should not be left to the whirls or
prejudices of individual club owners
The private interests of no league or
no club were considered at the Pittsburg
meeting. The deliberations of the com
mittee and the gentlemen of the press who
were present were most thorough and
painstaking and had only the best in
terests of the game at large in view. I
do not expect the committees report to
meet with unanimous approval. but I do
expect the common courtesy of club owners
reserving criticism until they have some
thing officially placed before them
The same views go for the schedule
committee. After four long days of hard
work the National Leagues representa-
tives finished both 16S and 154 game
schedule. The American League dele
gates. although committed to a 154-game
schedule, were fair enough 10 give I'D
two days time to assist us in framing our
16S-game schedule. Our committee was
therefore enabled TO comply with the in
structions given it by the National
-eague. Both long and short schedules
will be ready for consideration by the
league a its February meeting. Neither
one of these schedules is public property.
and therefore criticism of the committees
labors is all out of order until the National
League meets a body to select the
schedule it considers the more feasible"

General enthusiasm marked the annual
meeting OF the Women's Metropolitan Golf
Association ar the home OF Mrs. Charles
L. Tiffany. the retiring president, yester-
day afternoon. The Montclair Golf Club

ship tournament and the matter was left
TO the executive committee. with power TO
select the links and the date. There was
some informal discussion as TO the .advls-
ability of changing the championship week

County Country Club to the effect that
both these organizations were desirous Of
giving their links for ore-day tourna-

carried, to the effect that the executive
committee in future be instructed TO COM
nuntcate with the United States Golf AS
sociation with regard 10 the women S
national championship tournament with a
view to having the parent organization
ascertain the wishes of a majority Of the
women. This could be arranged, 1t is said,
by communicating with the Boston, Phila-
delphia and Metropolitan women's associa-
tions. The recent action at the annual
meeting of the United States Golf Asso-
citation in the awarding Of the next
Women's national event TO the West came
as a surprise to many in this part Of the
country.

work during the nine years in which she
has served the association In an official
capacity. Mrs. Tiffany has at different
times been treasurer, secretary and presi-
