Trying To Gust
 President Lynch
Ebbetts, Murphy and Fogel Said to be After National
 League Chiefs Scalp

When the club owners of the Ma tional League convene in the Waldorf Astoria in their annual meeting on December IF there promises to be high old row over the reelection Of Thomas J. Lynch to the presidency. On the surface everything appears to be serene in the National League, but such is not the case. Recently seri- ous opposition to Lynch has developed, and it is questionable, his friends say. that he can be reelected to the office which he has held for two years.
 K Ringleader of the scheme to de- throne Lynch and install in the Ma t.onal League presidential chair John D. O'Brien, former president of the American Association. is Charles H; Ebhets, owner of the Brooklyn ball club. Lined up with Ebbets are Charles Webb Murphy, president of the Chicago Nationals, and Horace $. Fogel, president, but not the owner of the Phillies. Ebbets' opposition to Lynch dates from the time of the ap pointment of the schedue committee at the meeting last December. For years Ebbets had been member Of this committee, and when he was re- moved it stung him to the quick. Eb- bets never forgave Lynch for dropping him from the schedule committee, and has been on his trail ever since.
  grew out of the assault Magee of the Phillies made on Umpire Finneran last summer, for which Magee was indef- intely suspended by the National League president. Fogel has been sore on Lynch since that time, and 1t is said has declared he vii get even with Lynch for what Fogel says was the unjust punishment of the star out fielder of the Phillies.
 Just. what Murphy's complaint against Lynch Is no one in baseball circles seems to know, but it is fact that Murphy is opposed to Lynch and that he Is now endeavoring to have the club owners elect another man, O'Brien preferred, instead of continu- ing Lynch in office.
 Singular'y. the plea of Ebbets, Mur- phy and Fogel is there must, be har- mony among the club owners of the National League: and they say har- mony cannot prevail within the organ ization until Lynch is busted from the presidential chair. It is on the har- mony dodge that Ebbets, Murphy and Fogel will appeal to the other mag mates in the league with the hope that they vii be able to round up the necessary two votes to defeat Lynch.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-12-04

Griffith. who comes back to the American League after spending a couple of years in the National, be- lieve, will be harder to beat next year than they were in the 1911 season. Of course, some big changes in their lineup are necessary and this will be hard proposition for Griffith to face.
 "But any one following Manager Griffith's past efforts will have to ad- init that he is a, victim of hard luck and has failed at all times in getting an even break in trades, or what we call baseball luck. He has been cheated out of the pennant on two or three occasions at time it seemed almost in his grasp, and the chances are that this year that powerful as- set, luck, is liable to call on Manager Griffith for a long stay, because a man cannot be unlucky all the time
 est. Louis, of course, is a hopeless proposition for the next two or three years. They have a ragged team, with very few good-looking prospects, and no manager to date has been named.
 ."1he Yankees do not look like win ners, and even with a new manager I do not think they will be cham pionship contenders for next years flag"
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-12-04
Ty Cobb Doesn't
 Favor The Yankees

Now that the New York Yankees are to be headed by a new manager
 next year the fans are already begin ming to get ou their dope books to figure the teams chances for the 1912 American League pennant Ty Cobb of the Tigers already gives a short forecast on how the Highlanders are going to finish.
 Naming the Tigers as the next titleholders of the junior organiza-
 tion-which is most natural-the Tigers f1eet-footed outfielder picks FarreIls brigade to finish no better than in sixth place. Some months ago several players named the Giants to beat the Athletics, and so the Yankee rooters are not likely to take the noted Tvs prophecy too seriously. Cobb declared the Tigers were out tucked last year. When they lost the services of Del Gainer, the first base man, they were handicapped severe ly But with Del back next year, Cobb believes, his club stands an ex- cellent chance to snare the White Elephant. According to Cobb the teams will finish in the following or der: Detroit, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, New York, Wash ington and St. Louis. The players '"The Athletics pitchers have been through several gruelling campaigns, and I do not believe that they will
 be near as good this year as before. If any one of the three veterans
