tented himself with a few we'll
chosen remarks concerning the iniqui-
tous new rule by which drafted ball
players not sticking in the Big Show
are waived on down to the Glass AA
leagues before getting back to the
Glass A club from which they were
drawn.
Mr.. Galloway made the remarks,
and they were well chosen. We re-
produced some of them the other day,
and we are going to append an even
choicer comment toward the latter
end of this verbosity.
But the Crackers president has
done more than that.

" New Britain, Conn, far re-
moved from the turmoil ano
strife of baseball. there's a man with
dark mustache, with soft brown
eyes and hair that is graying at the
ends, who smiles all day the smile
that one smiles when one is happy
and contented and at peace with all
the world
The man who smiles is Tom Lynch,
once prexy of the National League,
now proprietor of a prosperous thea
ter in the little Connecticut town.
Tom, as many will recall, was
booted out of the National League
last December, after serving it for
four years. because the pugnacious
moguls decided they wanted IAN able
man to ably handle the affairs of the
league"
1t hurt Toms pride a bit when he
was showed out into the cold, cruel
world with nothing to warm him but
his feelings of indignation toward his
former bosses, but Tom hasn't minded
the cold much lately In fact, he's
quite glad now that he was showed,

that Governor John K. Tener, his sue
cessor, has endured during the past
ten weeks or so.

SPOR TING
COMMENT
By Ed W. Smith.

CHICAGO, March 9.-Not-
ing the other day that
Willie Richie, lightweight
champion, was quoted in a
San Francisco paper as saying
that he was going into the coun-
try of the enemy to battle AID
Wolgast and that he couldn't ex-
pect anything but the worst of it
as result, we were curious
enough about Willie's feelings in
this respect to ask him about the
matter yesterday. You see, they
figured out on the coast that as
Milwaukee, where Richie is to
box Wolgast next week, is practi-
cally Ads home town, as he got
his first start there and is a great
favorite, Willie was taking a big
chance on his honors in a mo-
decision battle.
z URTHER you will note that
they figure that.as the news
papers give out the only decisions
rendered that these will be shaded
as much as possible to let Adolph
get by well. They did not figure
that the Chicago newspapers,
which generally are as fair as any
In the country, have as much to
say about the decisions as do the
Milwaukee accounts, and perhaps
considerably more.
A T any rate, ease your mind,

Richie has any fear about get
ting the worst Of 1t in any respect
around here. He merely laughed
when he was asked about the
matter said that he did not re-
member ever having had such a
thing on his mind, never consid-
cred 1t at all and wouldn't at this
time. He considers further that
he has as many friends in Chi
cago and Milwaukee as Wolgast
has and that even If the critics
did shade 1t in favor of Wolgast
and thought that way sincerely
1t would not injure mis- standing
to any great extent.
