M'CRAW AND LYNCH ARE
 AGAINST INTER-EEACUE GAMES
Says Worlds Series Should Be Retained h.
 stead of New Plan

NPresfdenE ThoznaskII.- Lynch of the National League and Manager John T. MoqraW of the Giants both caxne but strong yesterday against the pro nosed scheme of August Hermann of Efncfnuad to do away with the worlds hRer1es and substitute an lnterieague kBsgaA@, including all the teams of both kna5or leagues during the last few hreelnD Q1 the season. They both de jrlaRed That The present arrangement t~Eas the besk and only plausible way koEs deciding the baseban championship be The country.
 \ President Lynch sa4l1f- S'Isexn- strong my opposed to doing away with the ka-ox16G series. The plan which is sug- wssskeds as e sTfbstttUtton would tend to 6acrea@e rather than stimulate inter kes6 in 4he netbona1 game. The worlds sse1aes today is the biggest event in EAmsx1nan sports and arouses coun- ktrr-wfae interest. There isn't city, S4orrn or hannIe6 in this country where ES1ae. series doesn'tast1r up great excite hueuf. An interc1ub affair would ee so s1onr-dHzvn-out that interest would saag and 1he gamesworf1d become mere Izy local oon&eses, instead of contests hpT n@taona1 Importance"

All the clubs have 8 chance for the pennant in each league They play twenty-one games with each other. and if that isn't enough to decide which is the best among eight clubs I fail to see what plan could decide it as definitely

You wouldn't hear 8 protest from any of these clubs if they hap pened to win a pennant- They hate to see the vtctors get the spoils they justly deserve, and want to declare themselves in on the post-season har- vest. There isn't a chance of the world 8 series being dropped. It is too great an event in baseball. am not saying this because the Giants have been in the last three worlds series, but would say it, no matter which club in the National League won the pennant. I am strongly opposed to the fnterc1ub pIan.''

Less than ten years ago the names of Joe Gansy Joe Walcott, Jack Blackburn, Jack Johnson, Sam Lang ford, Sam McVey and Joe Jeannette were common to the boxing fans.

Langford. and Jean nette are slowly fading, and inside of another year the pair will probably be forgotten Their exhibition two weeks ago gave evidence that they are about ready to join the down and out club. True, Langford did not train for that bout, but those who have watched Sam in his fights since he returned to this country declare that he's done.
