New Haven, Conn., told Montreal newspapermen today that she saw Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr., "alive and well" I in an Atlantic City hotel two days after tne kidnaping. Mrs. Lynch claimed a gang of men, among whom was Bruno Richard Hauptmann, convicted slayer of the child, carried the baby into the hotel She was certain of the identity of the child and immediately notified police, she said. Hauptmann was questioned at the time by police, she said, but was released. The other gangsters had left the hotel with the Lindbergh baby before police arrived and there was not sufficient evidence to warrant Hauptmann’s arrest, she contended. She said she was under constant police protection at the request of Governor A. Harry Moore for several months following her “tip-off" to police. "Hauptmann was not the ring leader In the kidnaping,” she said. "There were others and the mast-er-mind is in New Yor today. He is the one who is supplying Hauptmann with all this money for his legal fees.” Asked why she had not revealed this information earlier she

Including ! earlier and increased intersection--lal play, were announced after a ■ conference of league executives. Tlie big league season will open on Tuesday, April 14. and close its ■ 154 game run on Sunday, Septem-1 her 27. The fourth annual game be-; tween all-star teams of the Amer i ican and National leagues will be| played on Tuesday, July 7, at I Braves field, Boston. Ford (’. Frick, youthful president I of the National league, described! as "revolutionary” the revisions effected at the schedule conference. attended also by William Harridge of Chicago, American league president, and Harvey Tra- . band, secretary-treasurer of lhe . National league. Besides railing for the start of . intersectional play on April 28, within two weeks after the season's - opening, the schedules provide for four intersectional series, instead ■of the customary three. This involves the virtual elimination of the old four-game series. The game per series will be on a 3-3-3-2 basis tlifs year, instead of 4-4-3, as in former years. Road trips thus will be shorter and the rivalry speeded up to such an extent that each club will play I every other league opponent, at ; home and one the road, within the . first month of the season. Opening games on April 14 are slated as follows; American league: St. Louis at Chicago, Detroit at Cleveland, 1 New York at Washington. Philadelphia at Boston.
