NO ROWDYISM IN
AMERICAN LEAGUE
BAN JOHNSON is STANDING 81
HIND HIS UMPiRES.
President Lynch Adopts Entirely On.
ferent System From That
Used by johnson.

One reason for the absence OF
rowdyism IN the American league is
the fact that Ban Johnson has stood
behind his umpires whether they
were right OF wrong. II there was
any criticism OF their work IL was not
lin public. and in this way he has con-
WINGED the players that it is useless
TO make any protest against the
uIupire's decision. President Lynch
has adopted an entirely different sys-
TEN, however, and one which is not
apt to- stamp out rowdyism in his
league. On two occasions this year
President Lynch has taken a stand
against his umpires. He suspended
Doyle on questionable ruling, and
recently he fined Klein because the
latter protected himself when Bresna-
han attacked him. Mr.. Lynch may,
have been right in both instances, but
he would no doubt get better results
and have less trouble If he would re.
primand his umpiros quietly instead

can only be st;>uped out by backing
up the umpires. and Lynch is not do>

players confidence in his STAFF.
