President of National League
Now Reused to Action.
CALLS FOGEL TO ACCOUNT
Charges That Umpires Favored
the Giants Referred to
Board of Directors.

Thomas ]. Lynch, president Of the Ma
tiona League. at last was reused to ac-
ton yesterday by the irresponsible NUT
terngs of one Horace Fogel, president Of
the Philadelphia club, who charges that
favorable decisions by certain umpires
were responsible for the Giants winning
the pennant this year.
Mr.. Lynch says he cares nothing for Mr..
Fogeps personal attack upon him, but
that the imputation Of dishonesty on the
part Of the umpires cannot be overlooked.
In formal statement issued last night
Mr.. Lynch said:
"As far as President Fogers attack on
the president Of the National League IS
concerned, care nothing. My twenty-five
years record In baseball speaks for itself
The cowardly attack on the honesty OF
the umpires and the game itself is
different matter, however and cannot be
overlooked. I shall take these charges Of
President Fogel before the board of d.
rectors OF the National League, which has
sole Jurisdiction. Regardless Of whether
Mr.. Fogel has financial interest In the
Philadelphia club or not, he Is the presi-
dent OF that organization, and the charges
he makes can be handled only by the
league itself"
A protest OF the statements OF Horace
Fogel, that the umpires In the National
League favored the New York team on
its home grounds. was made In a letter
yesterday to the National Baseball Com
mission from Brennan.
In this letter Brennan says that the
impartiality OF National League umpires
has been impugned, and he demands an
apology from President Fogel.
The matter is outside the jurisdiction
of the National Baseball Commission. so
It has been turned over TO the National
League.
