was then used to dip small quantity

Unite In Ono Congress.
Each of the associations intended
To hold its own congress next year.

JOHN M. WARD OPPOSES
REELECTION OF LYNCH

NEW YORK. Dec. IA surprise
was sprung when the National League
magnates undertook to elect pres1-
dent.

suit that the magnates were dead
locked. Three clubs voted for the re-
election Of TEN Lynch: three sup

Both parties were actively cam
paigning tonight. Charles Ebbets and

st. Louis club. II the revolutionists
can wean over the two disinterssted
clubs they will DO able to Dust Lynch.
But Garry Hermann IL said to hold
over the heads OF Fogel and Murphy
bomb that he win spring In to-
morrow's caucus.
Foosi Writes Ietters.
According to gossip during the
worlds series. Mr.. Fogel wrote two
letters. One was a protest to Herr
mann. chairman OF the National Com
mission, over some decision that took
a player from the Phitlies. The other
was to c. W. Murphy. president OF
the Cubs. In the latter missive Fogel
Is said to have betrayed the fact that
Taft and Murphy own the Phiiadel-
phia club. He Is said to have sug-
gested to Murphy that his club should
be strengthened with the best Phila-
delphia players in order to give the
Windy City a pennant winner. Fogel
regretted the circumstance that his
club could not hope to do business
against tho Worlds Champion Ath-
letics and suggested that the Chicago
end should be strengthened SO that
both ends would reap the harvest. BY
mistake Fogel mailed Murphy's let
ter to Hermann who has q copy Of
