N EW YORK, Dec. 9.—Tom Lynch's farewell to-day to the National League clan, wljjch h4 has served so well as president, promised to be of the kind that the clansmen would not forget for a con siderable period. This was the annual meeting day of the National League crowd. The first event on the program was the plac ing of the skids under the said Thom as Lynch, giving Thomas a push In the general direction of the subwav. and then the Immediate elevation c l Governor John K. Tener. of Pennsyl vania, into Tom's old job. Lynch knew the National Leagu »rs no longer wanted him. Also he knew that if they cared for him no more .t wouldn’t do him any good to plead Ills own cause. Put Lynch also knew tliat he had the right of free speech, and that as a retiring officer of any organization he had the right to utter a few words of his own choosing. And from those close to Lynch the word » able that Lynch had prepared for de livery before the National Leaguers just about the hottest little denuncia tion of men and 'policies that has been ' prepared since speechmaking became an art. Long Contract for Tener. Tener will be tendered a four-year contract, calling for $23,000 each year, immediately after his election. How ever. he will not draw any salary for his first year on the Job, as his term as Governor will not expire until Jan uary 1, 1915, and he will retain bis Gubernatorial position until then. But Tener has announced that he will give as much time to baseball af fairs during the next year as he would even if be wasn’t Governor. The Waldorf-Astoria, where the meeting will be held, was thronged to-day with magnates and managers of the National League ball clubs. Each was eager to make some sale or trade that would strengthen his team. 1 Garry Herrmann, owner of the Cincinnati Reds, and also owner of Joe Tinker, was besieged by an army of magnates and managers who wanted Tinker, regarded as one of the greatest shortstops that ever played the game. Herrmann to-day still stood pat on his demand of $20,- 000 cash for Tinker, but several own ers tried to get him to change his mind and let Tinker go for part cash and part players, Brooklyn After Tinker. The Brooklyn club Is hot after Tinker, although Tinker has an nounced that he would not play ex- cept in Ghicago or Pittsburg. Herr- , mann. it is said, was offered Brook lyn players of more than fair ability for Tinker, but turned down the prop osition. It is possible that Tinker mttv go to Brooklyn as the result of a | three-cornered deal involving Brook- i 1 v n Cincinnati and Philadelphia. ‘ John B.

By Willie Ritchie. S AN FRANCISCO, Dec. 9.—After losing two battles in a row, one to Charley Reilly and the oth er to Frankie Burns, I began to scratch my head and figure a little. True, I managed to put over seven teen victories without a loss, but thosd two defeats caused me more worry than 1 am now willing to ad mit. I was not knocked out or even hurt in either of the battles, but at the same time I was outpointed, and this very thought was enough to make me sad and gloomy. The promoters did not look for me after Burns got that verdict. They never do go after a fellow’ who is beaten once. They are looking for the one who is right up in front and who the fans are talking about all the time. I knew that they were not talking about me, for 1 had not been a winner. My brother and Baker and Ed wards and a lot of my friends came to me and urged me to go ahead and take another chance. But their words did not seem to give me much com fort. I could not see any future in the boxing game and I decided to try my hand at something else. I ran across a friend of mine who advised me to get into the automo bile business. He told me of a place down in Coalinga where I probably could get a job in a garage and work myself up into something better. This struck me right, so 1 wrote down to the address that my friend gave me and in a few days f got a letter saying that the position was open to me. Goes to the Oil Fields. I did not even hesitate. 1 jumped on the first train for the oil fields, determined to get out of the fighting game for a while at least and per haps forever. It was just into my hands, for I managed to get a lot of experience while 1 was working for that wholesale machinery house. I felt ready to take a chance anyhow, no matter what did happen. I started to work in the garage at the oil fields for $2.50 a day. and. be lieve me, it was pretty hard work at that. I used to put in 12 and 14 and sometimes 16 hours every day and night. I learned rapidly, and al though I was doing two men’s work half the time, .still I liked it. for 1 took a great interest in machinery and 1 was given every opportunity to learn. They called upon me to do all sorts of odd jobs, and 1 alwaYV did’ ihe best J could. Some nights I would go to bed so tired that 1 would not even take time to eat my supper. But I was learning a good trade, so I never kicked. I made many good friends down in the oil country and they all seemed to like me, and after a few months I fell in for a pretty good job. Forgets About the Game. When the opening came I jumped in as a driver of machines and later a demonstrator. 1 was getting $5 a day for this. There was plenty of money in that section of the country then, and I managed to get my share of it 1 worked steadily all the time, and Just kept my nose to the grind stone. Some of my new-made friends who knew that I had been doing a lot of boxing around San Francisco tried to get me to go on again. In fact, they put several good matched up to me. Rut ther * was no chance. I made up my mind to stick with the automobile business, and forgot that there was anything in the world like a set of boxing gloves. But later I will show Jiow I changed. I began to get tiled of Coalinga I had saved up a nice little sum of money, and I was about ready to take my departure My boss was very nice to me, and he offered me a good raise when I told him 1 was about to go back to San Francisco. This did not do a bit of good, because I hail my mind made «ip to return to my home town. Returns to His First Love. My father and my brothers and sisters were very gTad to see me. es pecially when I told them that I was in the automobile game to stay. They believed that I intended to stay in the ring, and this did not seem to suit them at ail. It was against their will that I started to fight, and they kept wishing and praying that I would do something else for a living. Everything went along nicely for a month or two, till I started going out to the four-round fights on Fri day nights again I saw fellows per forming whom I hail licked in the past I lagan to find myself slip ping. The old feeling came back on me. I tried to stall it off, but it was no use. 1 was righting mad once more, and the automobile business seamed to lose all its charm. The first thing I knew, I wan out in the gymnasium again after work, putting on the gloves with the boys, hitting the punching bags and doing some road work every time I got a chance. I felt better than I ever felt in my life before, so 1 concluded that the fighting game really was the gjame for me, md I began to look around for another match with the four-rounders. THE FREAK.

ThreeUmpires Hear ‘Can’Jingling •!•••!• *F • d* +•*!• Judge Kavanaugh May Swing Ax By (). B. Keeler. R UMORS emanate from up Mem phis way that Judge William Marmaduke Kavanaugh, presi dent of the Southern League, is go ing to dust off the well-known rinky- dink and apply the same to one or more umpires before the robins nest again. One section of the rumor says one umpire will be attached to the can. Another says three. Our gue.*?s would be as good as yours, and no better. And now that the heat of battle has chilled off into a Regular December, we aren’t dis posed to beat a drum, irlount a dry goods box and shriek for anybody’s head. We reflect on the cold and lengthy winter months, and the idea possess es us that even umpires have to live. B UT as a plain matter of news and dope, we have it that of the four umpires Wright, Fi field, Stoekdale and Kerin who debutted last spring in the Southern League, only the last- named made good. Our observation was that Kerin did uniformly good work, and appeared to have the nec essary qualifications of an umpire. The others did not do well, but it isn’t our job to figure out if they were hopeless or simply green. Judge Kavanaugh is the Judge. * • • /~\F the four veteran umpires P.reit- ^ enstein, Hart, Rudderham and Pfenninger there was not so much criticism last season, and a good bit of what, there w'a-s might easily have resulted from their being teamed with an erratic youngster. At the risk of getting in bad with the fans by saying a good word for an umpire, we will just say mildly that that quartet looked pretty blamed good after watching the work In the American Association for three years which Is a Class A A league, at that. * • • S O it looks as if the four old 'una will stick, plus Kerin, the d«- butante. As to the others well, the judge has always been firm in up holding bis boys in blue, and that undeniably is the proper attitude for a league president. The Southern League owes a good deal of its sta bility and prestige to Just that pol icy, and It is a good thing for fans to remember when they begin yell ing for scalps. But our Idea of the worthy Judge is that his ideas of support do not include long-term contracts w'ith um pires that are manifestly Incompe tent. p * * • \\J H rCRKlf* )RE\ if Mr Kavanaugh v v considers that Wright and Stockdale and Fi field or any one or two of them are incompetent. Mr. Kavanaugh probably will try out one, two or three new boys in blue in 1914. At this writing, anything connected with the G. O. G. looks so good to us that we can’t get much worked up even over an umpire.
