During the latter part OF the sea-
son, opposition In the recollection of
Thomas Lynch as president OF the Ma

but since the end Of the season much
OF this hostility has disappeared.

were against Lynch's recollection. have
relented. and Il now looks like he Will

any great opposition.
This IL Lynch's Eecond year as
president OF the National league, and
he has done about as wen as anybody
could In the position when the hard
ships he had 70 face are considered.
one thing Lynch showed most en-
phatically. and that II he viii pro-

season. but when the latter saw tina,
these protests weer never considered
by Lynch they stopped registering
their kicks
The umplrlng OF the National
league al the end % the season was
much more satisfactory than during
the iirsi half OF the year.
