By Frank G. Menke. N EW YORK, Dec. 9.—Tom Lyncli’s farewell to-day to the National League clan, whjc'n he has served so well as president, promised to he of the kind that the lansmen would not forget for a con siderable period. This was the annual meeting day of i he 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 he general direction of the subway, and then the immediate elevation ef itovernor John K. Tener, of Pennsyl vania, into Tom’s old job. Lynch knew the National Leaguers no longer wanted him. Also he knew that if'they cared for him no more it wouldn't do him any good to plead his own cause. But Lynch also knew ihat 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 ame that Lynch had prepared for de livery before the National Leaguers iust abQUt 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 ontract, calling for 125,000 each year, immediately after his election. How ever. he wilt not draw any salary for tils first vear on the job, as his term as Governor will not expire until Jan uary 1. 1915, and he will retain his Gubernatorial position until then. But Teller has announced thgt he will give as much time to baseball af fairs during the next year as he would even if he wasn’t Governor. The Waldorf-Astoria, where the meeting will be held, was thronged to-dav with magnates and managers of the National I/eague ball clubs. Efich was eager to make some sale trade that would strengthen his team. . Garry Herrmann, owner of tne ' incinnati Reds, and also owner >f .Ine Tinker, was besieged by an army of magnates and managers who wanted Tinker, regarded as one of ihe greatest shortstops that ever played the game. Herrmann to-day .-.til] stood pat on his demand of $20,- i.oo cash for Tinker, but several own ers tried to get him to change h.s mind and let Tinker go'for part cash and part players, Brooklyn After Tinker.

EVANS CHEMICAL COMPANY Cincinnati, O. Bv Willie Ritchie. AN FRANCISCO, Dec. 9. -After losing two battles in a row, one to Charley Reilly and the oth er to Frankie Bums, I began to scratch my head and figure a little. True, I managed to put over seven teen victories without a loss, but those two defeats caused me more worry than I 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 Lhis 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 I had not been a winner./ Mv brother and Baker and Re 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 mv hand at something else. T ran across a friend of mine who advised me to get into the automo bile business. He told me of a P'y e down in Coalinga where t probably could get a job in a garage and work myself up into something better. This struck me right, so I wrote down to the address that my friend gave me and in a few days t got a letter saying that the position was open to me. _. . , Goes to the Oil Fields. T did not even hesitate. I 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 (ell 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 das^ and night. I learned rapidly, and al though I was doing two men’s work half the time, still I liked It, for I took a great Interest in machinery and I was given every opportunity to They railed upon me to do all sorts nf odd jobs, and I always did the best 1 could. Some nights I would go to bed so tired that I would not even take time to eat my .supper. But I was learning 1 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 1 fell in for a pretty good job. Forgets About the Game. When the opening came I lumped in as a driver of machines and later a demonstrator. I was getting $f» a day for this. There was plenty of money in that section of the country then, and 1 managed to gel my share of it. I worked steadily all the time, and just kept my nose to the grind stone. Some of my new-made friends who knew that 1 had been doing a lot of boxing around San Francisco tried to get me to go on again. In fact, they put several good matches up to me. But there was no chance. I made up my mind to stick with the automobile business, and forgot that there was anything In the world lik® a set of boxing gloves. But later I will show how 1 changed. I began to get tired of Coalinga. T 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 hr offered me a good raise when 1 told him I was about to go back to San Francisco. This did not rin a bit of good, because I had my mind made op to return to my home town. Returns to His First Love. My father and my brothers and sisters were very glad to see me, es pecially when I told them that 1 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 all. 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. T saw fellows per forming whom T had licked in the past r began to find myself slip ping. The old feeling came'back on me. I tried to stall it off, but it was no use. I was fighting mad once more, and the automobile business seemed to lose all its charm. The first thing I knew, I was out in the gymnasium again after work, putting on the gloves with the boys, hitting the punching hags and doing some road work every time I got a chance. I felt better than I ever felt in my life before, so I concluded that the fighting game really was the game for rnc, and I began to look around for another match with the four-rounders.

R UMORS emanate from up Mem phis way that Judge William , Marmaduke Kavanaugh, presi- • dent of the Southern Deague, is go- ing to dust off the tyell-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 guess would be an good as yours, and no better. And now that the heat of battle has chilled off into a Regular December, we aren't dls- j posed to beat a drum, mount 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, Stockdale and Kerin who debut ted last spring in the Houthern Deague, only the last- named made good. Our observation w'as that Kerin did uniformly good work, and appeared t*» have the nec essary qua.liflcat.ion8 of an umpire.

( \F the four veteran umpires Breit- enstein, Hart, Rudderham and Pfenninger- there was not so much criticism last season, and a good hit of what there was 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 'uns will stick, plus Kerin, the de butante. As to the others well, the Judge has always been firm in up holding his boys in blue, and that undeniably is the proper attitude for s 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.
