President Lynch Makes Important Ruling For National League
 Contest

President Lynch of the National Lea que had a long conference with his umpires yesterday in National League headquarters at which several important topics were discussed. Be- sides Lynch there were present Sec refary John Heydler and Umpires Henry ODay, James Johnstone. Will liam Klem. Charles Rigler, William Brennan Nal Eason, W. F. Finner- an and John Doyle.
 The umpires were asked to explain many things, including the long time it has taken to play the games this spring and why so many players had been disciplined. The arbitrators ac- counted for the majority of the recent long games by the unusually heavy batting Especially was this true last week, when more runs and hits were made in the two major leagues than in any week in years.
 The umpires also reported that the changing of pitchers consumed a great deal of time. Such changes have been unusually frequent this season. Tn many games three twirlers have been called upon, and Fred Penney several times has been compelled to trot out four moundsmen to stop the enemy's cannonading.
 The time consumed by managers. captains and players in giving and receiving instructions also was point cd out as being big delaying factor. This was noticed frequently on the Hilltop last week. When Richie blew up in the ninth inning of Fridays tus- sle between the Giants and the Cubs there was conference between Man. ager Chance and Richie after every ball that Richie pitched In the night mare on the Hilltop on Saturday when the Giants scored thirteen runs in the first inning. Bresnahan had long talks with his cratic hurting corps that used up a goodly portion of tne afternoon.
 Managers of the various National League clubs will be asked to CO., operate with the umpires wherever possible in expediting matters on the playing field, and preventing unnec- >--.-v delays

The umpires were instructed that in cases where it is agreed to call a game at a stated time in order that one team may catch train, that the teams play to a finish any inning, onqe it is started even though the game go beyond the time agreed upon This is an important ruling, and prob- ably is the result of an Eastern lea que game played on Sunday May 2, between Rochester and Providence. With the score 10 to s in the ninth inning in favor of Rochester, Provi- dence scored two runs, had men on bases and only one out when the um- pires called the game, and the score reverted back to the eight inning 10 to 8 in favor of Rochester. Last year a similar occurrence kept the Giants from winning a game in Bos- ton

 Lou Litschi was swatting that lit tie round pill. He connected for a triple and double at Newfeld Satur- day and was hailed as a popular idol after that.
 It was the first time in five. years that any missiles have been thrown on the field of the local grounds. The Umpire Lanigan's decision when he called Kauff out at third in the ninth aroused such a storm that the fans felt compelled to throw a few sticks and stones. Also bottle or two found it's way on the field. Catcher Ahearn left his position to rusn oyer to tne third base bleachers and he offered to make a blue eye for the guy that was throwing the sticks. Nobody vol unteered to have his face decorated with a lump or two.

On a decent field, the sphere would have gone into the outfield and would have been good for extra bases.
