Reflect Lynch
 League President
New Britain Man Gets Another
 Term by Vote of 6 to 2

The Dove of Peace symbolized in the person of Mrs. Helen Hathaway Robinson Britton, owner of the St. fluttered into the National League convention room in the Waldorf yes- terady afternoon and exerted so be- nign an influence on the battle scar- red magnates chat the proceedings were entirely devoid of anything that savored of strife.
 Thomas J. Lynch was reelected president of the league by vote of to 2, Charles Ebbets of Brooklyn and Horace S. Fogel of Philadelphia east ing their ballots for Robert w. Brown of Louisville.
 James Gaffney purchaser of the Boston franchise, was received with open arms and all the routine pusi- ness was finished without a hitch.
 It was expected that the delegates would make some reply to the reso- lutions adopted by the American r League at it's meeting on Tuesday, but President Lynch announced that as a copy of the resolutions had not been officially received by the Ma en on the subject. The club owners also declined to make any informal comment on the resolutions.
 Whats the use?'' was the reply of President Lynch.
 When Ebbets of Brooklyn was asked for an expression of opinion he re- piled:
 'In view of the fact that we have no official knowledge of the resolu- tions, it would be decidedly discour- teous for any one connected with the National League to comment on the action of a baseball organization SUD- posedly friendly to us.''
 Garrv Harrxnann chafrpoar, nf thc National Commission, consented to talk a bit on the investigation of the ticket scandal and was emphatic in his assertion that, while tickets had reached the hands of the speculators. still it was due to the efforts of the speculators alone and that there was no collusion on the part of the club officials. While Hermann was talh- ing John Whalen, treasurer of the New York club, stood close by and the Commissions chairman.
 Mrs. Britton sat in the meeting room throughout the session of three hours and, while she maintained si- lence, she was an interested listen- CT and acute observer of all that took place. When the only woman owner of baseball club in the country en- tered the room accompanied by E. A. Steininger, president of the St, Louis club the delegates were introduced to her. and she was escorted to seat where she could see and hear all the proceedings. The masculine club own CTS smoked with customary freedom, Mrs. Britton having intimated that she did not expect the delegates to forego any of their established privi- leges. At the close of the meeting Mrs Britton said it was one of the most interesting experiences of her life.
 When the election of off7cers came up President Lynch retired from the room. John Whalen, treasurer of the New York club, placed Lynch in nom- inationi for reelection as president, and Charles Fl. Ebbets named Robert W. Brown of Louisville. As these were alI%the nominations ballot was taken. New YorE. Boston, Pittsburg, St Louis Cinc.rTati and Chicago cast their votes for Lynch. Brooklyn and Philadelphia voted for Brown. Lynch was. summoned to the room and was informed of his reelection for a year.
