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

" Tom Lynch owes Charley
Murphy and Horace Fogel a
vote OF thanks. But for that IA
nous knockabout team Of baseball.
Lynch would have corse out Of this
imbroglio merely president of the
National league, which isn't as im-
pressive as it sounds. Through the
cooperation Of Murphy and Fogei
he energies not only with the title
but as a real big man in baseball,
and therefore an unusual figure In
the National league.
F'ogel and Murphy prodded Lynch
until he became exasperated and
started lighting, and once he got to
fighting he quickly transformed
himself from what everybody had
been pleased to regard as mere
fgurehead into a real leader. To-
day he is the new boss of the Ma
tional league. with Fogel out Of the
way, and Charley Murphy humbly
eating crow. 1t Is very likely thar
Tom Lynch didn't care much dur
ing the Fogel trouble whether lie
was reelected or not. He was TOO
sore. His personal character had
been assailed, 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 he went after his
enemies, and that action put new
backbone into the supine old Ma
ttonal league. 1t was forced to re-
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 the league
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,

J Iarquard. McGraw, referring

where some-in fact, nost-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
fighters 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 hts
getaway:
I'm through for good and all.
I've lost as much money as care

I'm simply tired of working for

Fighters are the most ungrateful

When any ham-and-egg tighter in

Good might" 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 snip. He knows what is erst-

is going to stick to the ship. He
is going TO try and give Memphis

THE directors Of the Southern
league will assemble Satur-
day morning at Birmingham,
award the pennant to the Baron
club, and-unless th uucxpected
happens adjourn. .... Sc. II lie
possible that something will be
sprung at this meeting but II isn't
probable
Tonight the Birmingham club
will entertain the Southern league
with a banquet.
Tomorrow morning the league
win mingle in its annual meeting.
It may really develop into an i'm
portant meeting. Four points of
interest, in addition to the imma-
terial one of slecting officers, will
be brought up as follows:
/. Montgomery's attitude In re-
gard to keeping its franchise.
q Salary limits
s. The Elliott sale.
Atlanta's protest against early
Saturday games
IF the Montgomery club is to
withdraw from the Southern
league the fact must be- made
known at the meeting. Al that
time schedule committee will be
appointed and this committee must
know whether TO make a circuit
with Montgomery in or out. II
Mnni q.
Rock takes the franchise the en-
tire schedule will have to be en-
ttrely different from last year. Tor
one thing, the old arrangements of
eastern and western clubs win be-
revived. For another. there will
probably be more of those terrible
midsummer jumps from Little
Rock to Atlanta-the awfuTest
jump in civilized baseball
OF 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 sill of Richard Tnus
talk about selling the franchise is
mere bluR-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 couple OF cities
into behaving several times. Now,
if you have club 10 sell, come on
ana sell 1t. But bring along an
option before YOU talk with us.
