BRINGING UP FATHER By GEORGE M’MANUS N By Frank G. Menke. rEW YORK, Dec. 10.—With its L now pilot, Governor John K. Tener, at the helm, the good vhlp National League to-day began a our-year voyage that promised to be smoother than any ever experienced a this old and battered, but still sea worthy, skiff. rite presence of a new pilot aboard -coined to have a taming effect upon » heretofore mutinous spirits of the row. composed of baseball owners. The.' promised him to-day that in t'air weather or foul they would be with him in bddy, heart and soul, and hat they would leave the directing of ■he craft solely to him. Perhaps the promise and submission were caused hy fears. Goverifors. as most 1 ' per sons know, have the power to call out he militia or marines, or whatever it s they call out in case of trouble, and no doubt the crew did not care j. ;i clash with these rough military persons. Tener arrived from Philadelphia , iring the morning, and was met ! with an avalanche of greetings and] ongratulations from the baseball as- I wmblage at the Waldorf-Astoria. Al- \ though iie did not give out any .state ment of policy prior to his induction nto office at the afternoon session, lie j ntimated that lie intends to be the | r • boss of the National League, and i i,;11 ho will rule with an iron hand if i no milder method succeeds. Before Tener accepted the job. | en it was formally offered to him ■ month ago, lie stated that 11 p became president he was to be! permitted to be president—not a fig- ! i .head—and that he would not stand] inj heckling or subway politics vith reference to his rulings and I met hods. Elected on Four-Year Term. Tener was elected for a four-year erm. at a salary not stated, but it is understood to be $25,000 a year. He vill not draw any salary from the I ''ague until after his term as Govern - j >r of Pennsylvania expires on Decem ber 31. 1914, but will give all the at trition needed in the interim to Na- j ional League and National Commis* i ion affairs. Of course, Tener’s arrival and bi g csstiming the job a.s National League • resident was the big feature of to ny's confab ht the \Valdorf-Astoria Next in Importance was the Tinkei anestion. Just what is to become ot the deposed manager of the Cincin nati Reds was an unsettled question overnight, but rumors floating around lined to the idea that Josephus vould land Anally with about fifteen »f the sixteen major league clubs. Tener a Former Player. Some years ago in Pittsburg John | Kinley Tener. a cle'*k in an office in ho Smoky City, gained quite a repu- , 'ation as a bail player. He had suf fered with ill health, and on the ad- ice of his physician, .sought outdoor nployment, and entered professional baseball. That marked the beginning •f the career of the man who was to ater become Governor of Pennsyl vania, and who to-day was elected to ! presidency of the National League succeed President Tom Lynch. John Kinley Tener was born in Ire land July 25,‘ 1863. At the age of 9 is parents came to America and set tled in Pittsburg. At 18 years Tener iad become quite well known as an • mateur ball player. He had added 1 his small income by playing with 1 mateur ball teams on Saturday aft ernoons for $5 a game. When it be came necessary for him to And work n the open, his friends advised that • become a professional ball player, 'mong those who so advised him was 'Viliiam H. Moody, later a justice of ° United States Supreme Court. In 1885 Tener obtained his first pro- 88ional baseball engagement as first •'sseman of the Pittsburg club. He ad become a husky youngster, 'eighing more than 200 pounds and s < ruling more than six feet. Tener hd not make the tremendous hit tha. 1 m friends had predicted, and before • season was half over lie was re used and joined the Baltimore team. G his own request, he was released o the Naverhill (Mass.) club, where finished out the season, to return “ business again, obtaining a cleik- ■ J! ip with a Pittsburg house. He <on- • iuietl to play amateur baseball, bow- Tener's brilliant record as a pitcher " and around Pittsburg brought him tiie attention of A. G. Spalding and p d to a job with Captain Anson’s old 'hicago White Stockings. This time l'ener more than made good. H p at ‘ red a national reputation 1 “tie of the men chosen by Spalding o make the famous baseball tour of the world with the White Stockings •tid All-Nationals in 1888-89. and act ed as secretary as well as plavtng great ball. In 1891 Tener abandoned profes- 'tonal baseball and settled in 1 Uar- erol, Pa.., where he again entered business, acquired interests in sev eral large corporations, became presi dent of a. bank and head of a street 1 ail way system. His fortune is esti mated at close to a million. In '•(. Mr. Tener became a Congressman, 'nd at the expiration of his term " as nominated for Governor of Pennsyl vania by the Republicans and elected His term will expire on January i #15.

POLLY AND HER PALS And Now Pa Is Scared for Fair Sporting rood By GEORGE E. PHAIR Apple Used to Hypnotize Boxer Smith Tells of Funny IncidentiSCHEGULE GIME WITH QUAKERS Sidelights on Sports By A. H. C. MITCHELL | By Ed YV. Smith. (Famous Fight Referee.) D ID you ever hear how an apple, munched calmly by an oppo nent’s second, hypnotized a fighter into a defeat .’ It s a little thing, this apple and the story of it, but it goes to show tiiat small things can turn the tide in a glove battle just, as It frequently does in weight ier and more important affairs. It came off in Denver when Steve Ketchel, of this city, was battling Stanlev Yoakum, tin* hardy Mexican from Las Vegas. First, let it be known that Yoakum is much tlie- same order of a fighter as Cazeau, the Italian, is a wrestler. Ferocity is his middle name. In this Denver scrap Barney Lich tenstein. who was handling Ketchel’s affairs, bethought himself of some thing to distract the attention of the opposition fighter. After the gloves had been tied on the. fighters’ hands Larnev possessed himself of a large red apple and with a penknife began calmly to slice off bits of it and chew them vigorously as he stood in the center of the ring listening to the referee's instructions to the 'men. * * * VOAKUM'S eye all this lime was 1 riveted firmly tin that apple. Ynd l.arnev meant that it should lie. ■ Must think this is going to be pretty -of! for vour man. *itine an apple scornfully remarked somebody in the opposite camp. "Yep, just like eating this apple.” remarked Larnet, smil ingly. waving the apple in front of Yoakum's face. To further corral the Yoakum goal Ketchel stood in the center of the ring instead of returning to his cor ner after the instructions had been given and us the hell sounded he was on top of the Mexican before he could get out of his corner. A sharp clip on the jaw completely "goi" Yoakum .ml the remaining ten rounds lie was completely at sea. Larney sat with his head close to the ropes munching that apple and Yoakum just couldn t keep his eye off of it. He was beaten handily. , . . T HERE have been other goat-ge:- t erg in the ring, but none of them ever was more successful titan this apple-eating trick. It was so cont- oietelv out of the ordinary that the rather inexperienced Yoakum never got it completely out of his mind. 8 Jim Corbett tried his best to con fuse lack Johnson in the famous Reno fiasco, but his trickery utterly f died Between rounds Corbett went half wav across the ring and tried to hypnotize the black by glaring at him steadily But Johnson accepted all of this laughingly and even invited Cor bett to come closer and hear every thing that was going on in his corner, tbe tttell used to use ..ne .hat was h bird and sometimes it worked beau tifully. During a hot mixup Atteil would start a conversation with an imaginary friend in the crowd. Abe speaking something like this: 'Yes, you bet J want to see that last act, because they say it’s a corker. What time did you say the show was over? All right. I’ll be through here in just a couple or minutes aim then we’ll go over to the theater.” Of course, At- tell wasn’t talking to anybody but his opponent and naturally it was ex tremely disconcerting. Ray Bronson, now on his way to Australia, uses one that is a peach and seldom fails to get on the nerves of an opponent, especially if that op ponent is a bit inexperienced, dom ing to the center of the ring for in structions. May hums the latest pop- ular melody and hums it in such a way that lie never fails to attract a lot of attention from his opponent. It’s a good trick and more than one of his foes have gone straight up in the air over it. Harvard Brands Yale Request as Childish CAMBRIDGE. MASS.. Dec. 17.— 'File Harvard (Tftnson editorially in timates that Yale is acting childishly I in seeking to have its football contest i next season held a week later than has been the custom, (’omirrg from the Princeton game battered and bruised is nor a sufficient excuse for the later date sought. states the Crimson. The assignment of a later date for the Harvard-Yale game in the future would turn football into a near-winter sport, according to the Crimson, and for tHe best interests of the game this is not to be de sired. Mitchell Will Lead Brown Next Year PROVIDENCE. R. I.. Dec. 15.—The Brown Varsity football team has elected Seth Kimball Mitchell, ’15, captain of next year’s eleven.

BASEBALL DEPENDS ON FUND. KKWANEE. ILL.. Dec. IT —At the annual meeting of the Kewanee Central Association club, after reports had been received showing expenditures were equal to receipts this season, it was voted to make league ball here next year contingent upon raising $4,GAO in cash in the next two **eLs». McGugin’s Team Is After Battle With Chicago and Either Georgia or Tech. N ’ASHVILLE, TKN.V. Dec. In Onee more the Commodores are contemplating an invasion of the Eastern football world. This tyne it is to be Pennsylvania, against which a sample of the McGugin sys tem of football will be pulled off. That is, if the present negotiations of the Vanderbilt schedule committee pan out, with tlie Pennsylvanians. Should sucji a meeting be arranged it will mark the fourth time the Commodores have tackled on Eastern eleven, previously having met the Navy, Yale and Harvard. The Mid shipmen and the Blue were held to a lie. while the Commodores, after a bitter fight, bowed to the Cambridge team by a small margin, .lust enough to justify Lite belief that another Eastern match would draw like flies. The Commodores have been the only strictly Southern eleven to carry the football standard into the Eastern country, and their remarkable show ing on their three previous visits has given them sufficient advertisement to insure a big crowd in Philadelphia. The schedule committee is also dickering with Chicago for a game in the Windy City, and Coach Mc Gugin is pulling all his wires for the success of a meeting being arranged with the Conference champions. Mc Gugin and Coach Stagg are old-time friends and the Vanderbilt pilot is hankering for a crack at the powerful Chicago machine. There is talk of bringing either Georgia Tech or Georgia up to Nash ville for a game Either that or tak ing one of this pair on down in At lanta. which is some football city itself. McGugin figures that Tech will be far better in 1914 than the Heisman team was this year, and by the same token that the Athens crew will be weakened greatly through the loss of the wonderful McWhorter. The Commodores took Georgia on in 1912 at Ponce DeLeon Park, but slaughtered the Black arid Red eleven so horribly that a return match wa- not considered. It is probably just as well for Vanderbilt that the Geor gians were left off this year, consid ering the Commodores' miserable showing and the gallant work of th€ A t henians.

Beside I'rofessoi Waller l-amp's dis i cover if of III*' West. Walter Camp denies the rumor that | Yale will meet Chicago, but it was a . good story while it lasted. We are not surprised at Mr. Camp’s j admission that Western football is | strong on the offensive. Western foot ball has always been offensive to him. Dick Hoblitzel comes to the front as the most eccentric man on a base ball team. He actually wants Joe Tinker’s old job! With Mike Doolan in Japan. Red Dooin is attempting to trade him to Cincinnati. But he wouldn't dare to do it if Alike were only here to de fend himself. The report that Garry Herrmann has not picked the manager of the Reds is a gross misstatement of fact He has decided on the manager, but has not named the messenger boy. After listening to Joe Tinker’s story we can readily understand why Hank O’Day deliberately resumed his job as umpire. A study of baseball statistics re veals the fact that a team’s fielding average is almost as important as the color of its uniforms. Harry Payne Whitney, speaking of the captaincy of the polo team, says he "does not wish to again take the responsibility.” A man who splits his infinitives has no right to run a polo team. Besides being the champion con versationalist. Torn Jones is the most intrepid manager in pugilism. 1U hits matched Jess Willard two more fights in the East. If it is true that Carl Morris butted Willard in their alleged fight, why has he not been indicted for assault with a deadly weapon? A youth named Ruben won a wrestling match yonder eve, but as a rule the rubens pay at the gate. SHAFER TO RETIRE. Til lie Shafer says that the yarn ! that he is to retire is true. But he j says that he won’t retire yet as he will wait until his contract with the i Giants expires. Man Who Piloted Chicago Sox to Pennant Is Satisfied With Present Status. o AX HKA.N'CISCO. Dei . III. l-'teld- cr Jones, once pennant - w inning manager of the Chicago While Sox, now president of the Northwest ern League and prosperous Oregon apple grower, will never again man age a ball club. This was his positive statement yesterday afternoon, during a haphazard conversation at the St. Francis Hotel. Eastern magnates have made him tempting offers. He believes that had he listened to the blandishments of the baseball powers that be a season or two back lie would have profited more financially than he has by quitting (he game and growing apples. But be lias quit the game for good: he is doing well in the business world, and lie is not to Oe persuaded. 4 "You are not to be tempted .”’ sug gested the interviewer. "Indeed, I have been templed.” was i lie answer. "Don’t think f have not. Don’t think that with all my present prosperity I have been supremely happy or supremely satisfied. No man who has spent as many years in base, ball as I spent Is ever satisfied to quiL When the springtime comes and the boys report for practice, the old fever gets into a fellow’s veins and the longing to be back in the game again comes and comes till it hurts all the way through. "But when I quit the game I quit for good. I made up my mind that I was reaching the age when a man must do something to provide for the future. Possibly I might have con tinued successfully as a bench man ager. but that is hard to tell. The bench manager holds his job in base ball as long as lie succeeds. I would rather have it said that I quit t he game when I was a success than that I quit when J was a failure and was no longer wanted. "1 have done well fn the Northwest. Business associates have been good to me and the future looks good. I could never be persuaded to go back to baseball management.* I know i am out of touch now with the game. A few years ago I knew nearly every player in the country and all about him. Now r know comparatively' few of them, 90 I know' I am no longer as well qualified. But say. it would be happiness to be out there lighting for a pennant once again, believe A FEW baseball critics are r\ >aying \\ doesn’t pay to ‘tange managers of base ball teams often. They point to tlie record of such leaders as t’onnie Mark and John McGraw to uphold their contentions. i No club owner would change managers if he had such a mana ger as McGraw or Mack on his pas roll. There may be other managers just as good, but none has had tilt* success of these two rlebrate.l leaders of big league teams, except possibly Fred < I i rk of Pit t sburg. Napoleon Bonaparte (not i,a- joio) said lie couldn’t afford to haw unlucky generals, no mat ter how brilliant they’ were. It is the same way with club own ers. They can not afford to have losing managers on their staff. * * A j^iIT in the Ions' run the good lJ managers will get the good team. It takes time and owners r are sometimes impatient. The pub lic is partly to blame. The fans of every « itv want a winning team. If the team doesn’t win they will not attend the games. The club owner is constantly looking for new material. He employs scouts to scour the country and spends large sums of money for play ers He does all lie can do. and It is then up to the manager to produce a winning combination. * * * 'THE principal trouble that un- 1 ter. or rather the chiefest fault of the unsuccessful manager, is the fact, that he doesn’t know’ how to organize a ball club. Man-, of them have not the proper authority to organize a ball dub even if they knew how to do so. As an example of a great or ganizer. the writer would men tion George Stallings, of the Boston Nationals. In the first Place. Stallings has absolute au thority to make all the deals and swaps «»f players that he likes, if he decides to buy a player, he simply notifies the owner of the club and the transaction takes place. if he desires to **wap Smill . Brown and Jones of his club/ for Green and Gray of another dub, he tells the owner of the club of the deal and the proper papers are passed. Not many managers have the author ity that Stallings has. And if they had it. many of them would not know how to use if. A .MANAGER max realize that a \ itcher, and he tells the owner of the dub about it. perhaps suggest ing a player or two that might be had. The owner starts ne gotiations and may or may not land one <>f tito two men With Stallings lie knows the man lie wants. and. futhermore, lie knows whether he can get him or not. He does hisr own nego tiating. and when the deal is completed an announcement of the fact is made to the public. * * + AX the other hand, take the case ^ oi Manager Evers of the i <’hicago Nationals. He probably knows more about baseball than Charlie Murphy, owner of the «lub, <an ever expect to know. Yet Murphy will not give Evers authority to make trades for players. Murphy has to be con sulted even before negotiations : can begin, anti it is Murphy who conducts the negotiations, not Evers, in the cases of McGraw and Connie Alack, they do their own business the same as Stall ings does. It is the only proper wav. BUT first you must, find a manager clever enough to make Ills own trades. There are only a few of them left. • * m A u.\ME MACK himself save I ^ that no manager can do him self justice or the club owner justice or trie public justice un less he lias absa lute authority— and time. But first the manager must demonstrate that he is en titled to absolute authority.
