F OGEL MURPHY
DEFEAT MAKES
LYNCH HERO
By Tad
BY Damon Runvon.

n FEW YORK, Dec. 13.-After all.
v Tom Lynch owes Charley
Murphy and Horace Fogel a
vote of thanks. But for that ia
nous knockabout team of baseball,
Lynch would have come out of this
imbroglio merely president of the
National league, which isn't as lime
pressive as it sounds. Through the
cooperation of Murphy and T0ge
he energies not only with the title
but as a real big man Yin baseball,
and therefore an unusual figure in
the National league
Fogel and Murphy prodded Lynch
until he became eXasperated and
started fighting. and once he got TO
fighting he quickly transformed
himself from what everybody had
been pleased to regard as mere
figurehead into a real leader To-
day he is the new boss OF the Ma
tional league, with Fogei out Of the
way, and Charley Murphy humby
eating crow. 1t is very likely that
Tom Lynch didn't care much dur
ing the FOgel trouble whether he
was reelected or not. He was toe
sore. His personal character had
been assaulted, and he only wanted
Vindication.
He had been maligned and
abused until no man with red blood
in his veins could endure it any
longer And then ne went after his
enemies, and that action put a new
backbone into the supine old Ma
uonal league. 1t was forced to e.
elect him, and therefore do much
toward rehabilitating itself in the
opinion of the fans. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that Lynch was not given
long term. but if he continues To-
administer the affairs of theleague
during the next year with the same
force and spirit as he demonstrated
during the recent row. his tenure of
Office need have no particular limit
Ohm M'GRAW is sore at RUDE
J Marquard. McGraw, referring
TO Marquard's recent escapade-
with an actress and to the pitcher
boasts that he will hold out for
$4,000 contract next year said;
That kind of talk makes me
tired. If it was only a game to
get some cheap advertisement
! would not say a word. But
Marquard should have gone
after that kind of advertising
long ago instead of the kind he
got in being mixed up with
some woman who happens 10
De another mans wife. Mar
guard hasn't done himself or
the New York ball club any
good by lbs actions this VIM
ter
His declaration that he won't
sign unless he gets $4,000 a
year is foolishness. He is sign
ed for three years now, and
he'll report on time just like
all the other players next
spring. And concerning his
statement that l did not wan.
to use him in the world series
because I was afraid his pitch
ing would justify his demands
for a salary increase have this
to say: I offered him two
chances that he took, and 1-
won both Of these games Then
put 1t up to him to pitch .H'
third game, but he got cold feel
and said he did not care TO 81

raised.
The waiver price I'm this league
ought to be 5000, or at The very
lowest, $500, said Bill. -Four hun
dred dollars doesn't buy a good bat
boy these days. If man is going
to claim player at all he ought to
be willing to pay 5000 for him"
Considering the high price Of liv-
ing and all such Trims, Bill smith
seems quite right.

This arrangement is most dis
tasteful to Atlanta fans and Sc
riously hurts the attendance. Pres
ident Galloway believes he can
show this fact to the league and
get better deal In the 1918 sched-
ule.
IT'S all too much to expect of
course. because the Southern
league has never shown either in
terest or intelligence in the keep
ing Of its averages, but ii would be
nice If the league should decide at
its coming meeting to do away

A hundred times we have pointed

interest. in addition to the imma-

be brought up, as follows.
J. Montgomerys attitude in re-

g. The Elliott sale.

one thing, the old arrangements Of

probably be more of those terrible
midsummer jumps from Little
Rock to Atlanta--the awfullest
jump in civilized baseball
or course. the sale Of the Mont
gomery club, if it is made. does
not absolutely have to come right
away, but this would be the natural
time.
Most Of the baseball men seem
to think that all of Richard Tius'
talk about selling the franchise is
mere bluff-which may be so.
Little Rocks attitude is: Here,
we've been used as the villain of
this piece too often, We have
scared the fans OF a couple Of cities
into behaving several times. Now,
If you have a club to sell, come on
ana sell II. But bring along an
option before YOU tan, with us.

radical in the way of change.
Charley Frank has some foolish
sliding scale system. Ii viii never

Bv Ed. w. Smith.

Y YOU'VE often heard about the
base ingratitude of the fes-
tive glove Wielder and how
the inclination In the profession
seems to be to thro " down friends
and the like Here Is a case where
this same thing has forced a box
ing promoter to quit the game in
disgust and call it all off.
Everybody in Memphis and hun
dreds and hundreds of people out

has turned over his interest in the

where some-in fact. most-of the
worlds famous fighters have per
formed at different times during
the last decade. And in sliding out
of the business Of furnishing the
lighters with purses and the public
with entertainment Slick ad-
vances some unique reasons. Here
are some of the epigrammatical
gems that he pulls in making his
getaway;
I'm through for good and all
I've lost as much money as l care
to in this game. and henceforth I'll
be square guy in a business way
I'm simply tired of working for
lighters.
Fighters are the most ungrateful
bunch of people in the world. The
more YOU do for them the more
they expect and the less they think
of YOU.

And when you get through with

The public wants the best fight

get off? III tell you where l set
off: this is my station right here.
Goodnight" and Slick" placed all
the emphasis at his command on
the first syllable of the parting call.
Hack is not going to give up
the ship. He knows what is erst-
while partner SAYS is true. but he
is going to stick to the ship. He
is going to Try and give Memphis
