NBW. YORK, Sept. 27. -Muttering of
discontent In certain quarters of tho Na
tional league indicate some violent battlca
at tho next annual meeting of the parent
major body in this city next December.
A well established hunch prevails in the
Inner circles df tho national pastime that
a stre nous war will bo waged against the
re-election of President Tom Lynch by
certain magnates he has antagonized.
According to the best Informed authori
ties. Lynch, might not bo unseated were

time. It Is alleged that the present .In
cumbent haa the support of four club
owners to match tho four that clamor
for his scalp. According to tho National
league constitution an executive, In case
of deadlock, must continue In office.
Tho four clubs unfavorable to Lynch
are said to be New York, Boston, Chicago
and Brooklyn. The Giants have never
forgiven Tom for thren decisions he
pulled on them. It began, when a game
was lost to tho Phillies through tho fail
ure of Klem to allow a base hit by
"Moose" McCormlck, because tho arbiter
had hb back turned at the time, as he
said, announcing the change in the bat
ting order. Fuef was added to tho' flame
when Med raw was punished as severely
as Pitcher Brennan, nfter tho Quaker
hnd assaulted tho Giant manager at
Philadelphia. The straw that broke the
camel's back, however, was Lynch's un
usual ruling In the celebrated "forfeited"
game In Philadelphia on August SO.

PRESIDENT THOMAS LYNCH.
The National league has come In for
a good deal of sharp newspaper criticism
this summer and there Ib fa. pretty wide
spread belief that Lynch is moro or less
responsible for It His handing out equal
punishment to McQraw and Burns when,
the Philadelphia player made his attack'
on tho Giants' manager caused many
people to think thero Is a hole in Lynch's
Ideas of Justice. And his repudiating
Xlmpire Brennan in the forfeited Phila
delphia game has added greatly to the
enmity against Lynch.
'Those who are close to tho president of
the National league say that he, him
self, seoa that he ha come to be an
embarrassment to tho National league
and, will retire on his own motion at the
closi of 'the season.

Althbugh most people don't know It, this
crop ha registered a greater deficit than
the corn crop so much lamented, due,
however, to an overproduction of bone
rathor than a lack of rain.
This haa been a rather remarkable
year for the number of players recruited

two big leagues found themselves in
great need of new material shortly after
this season began and as a consequence
scout combed the bushes and picked up
everything that looked like a possible
ball player. Along with the tncreaasd
demand the price of talent went up and
the result wa that more high priced
player came under tho big tent In a

Schang of the Athletics and Bchalk ot
the White Sox nre considered two of the

into the big league in many years. The
Boston Nationals picked up tWo of the
best infloldoi's the minora turned out in
Myers, the tall first baseman, and
aiaranvllle, the diminutive shortstop.
Stengel of the Dodger has been tho find

NEW YORK, Sept. 27. According to
reports from the Pacific coast Champion
Willie Ritchie will soon be headed this
way for bout with Packey McFarland,
Leach Cross and a few others.
' Ritchie declares he la ready t'o tackle
McFarland, if the Inducements are to his

the matter deep enough as yet to name

he would demand. But' it they follow

Wants Better Pitchers.
Next year Lincoln wants better nltch
ers. Hugh Jones has spent more money
for players than any other Lincoln mag
nate of recent years and has satisfied
the fans that he is striving to build up
a winning team. But the fact remains
that Lincoln's pitchers are not clussy
enough. The club Is now batting well
and the fielding Is second In the league.
