Of course. Tenor's arrival and his assuming the Job as National League president was the big feature of to day’s confab at the \V aldorf-Astoria Next in importance was the Tinker question. Just what Is to become of the deposed manager of the Cincin nati Reds was an unsettled question overnight, but rumors floating around inclined to the idea that Josephus would land finally with about fifteen of the sixteen major league clubs Tener a Former Player. Some years ago in Pittsburg John Kinley Tener. a oln**k in an office in the Smoky City, gained quite a repu tation as a ball player He had suf fered with ill health, and on the ad vice of hii physician, nought outdoor employment, and entered professional baseball. That marked the beginning of the career of the man who was to later become Governor of Pennsyl vania. and who yesterday was elect ed to the presidency of the Natfon-.il league to succeed President Tom Lynch. John Kinley Tener was horn in Ire land July 25. 1863 At the age of 9 bis parents came to America and set tled in Pittsburg \t IS years Tener had become quite well known as an amateur ball player. He- had added to his small income by playing with amateur ball teams on Saturday aft ernoons for $5 a game. When It be came necessary for him to find work in the open, his friends advised that he become a professional ball player Among those who so advised Mm was William H. Moody, later a justice of the United States Supreme Court. In 1885 Tener obtained his first pro fessional baseball engagement as first baseman of the Pittsburg club. He had become a husky youpgster. weighing more than 200 pounds and standing more than six feet. Tenor did not make the tremendous hit that his friends had predicted, and before the season was half over he was re- lea sed and joined the Baltimore team. At his own request, be was released to the Naverhill (Mass.) club, where he finished out the season, to return to business again, obtaining a clerk ship with a Pittsburg house. He con tinued to play amateur baseball, how ever Played on Anson's Team. Tener's brilliant record a> a pitcher in and around Pittsburg brought him to the attention of A G. Spalding and led to a job with Captain Anson's old Chicago White Stockings This time Tener more than made good He ac quired a national reputation.

A RELATED, but none the less interesting, boiling down of stunts and records in the Southern League last season reveals a lot of things that may be used to settle controversies in the Stove League, and, even if there's no row on, makfl pretty good reading for the famished fans. As to where we got 'em, that's an other story This sort of dope accu mulates. ns it were, during the run of the season, and exudes, like the pre cious attar of roses out of the Otter, while the frost is on the pumpkin and the scuttles of coal have been lugged in. You might look it over. * * * U/ITH regard to fielding achieve- | ments, Atlanta fans were, privi leged to witness the season’s most spectacular day’s work. The day was August 23. and the worker was Rlv- ington Bisland. The. wonderful short- fielder that day handled fifteen chances—fourteen assists and one put-out—without a skip, and hung up a record in this league that is good outside of it. so far as the de ponent knoweth. These men led in fielding averages for the season: First base. McGilvr&y and Snede- cor, .984 (Agler fielded .982); second base, Marcan, .971; third base, Kl- wert, .943; shortstop. Flberfeld. .958; catcher. Mayer, .984: pitcher, Hogg. .991; outfield, Clark. .974. * * * IN the hitting department, Harry 1 Welchonce, of the Crackers, led the league with an average of .338, jumping to the front just a few' days too late to cop the Rose medal, which Dave Robertson, the Mobile slugger, captured because it was awarded “to the batsman leading the league one week before the season closes." Harry's performance included 194 hits. 21 being two-baggers, 12 of them triples, and 6 of them home runs. He Mrs. King Defeats Her Husband in HandicapCueMatch Mrs. Bertha M.

Mr. King agreed to play 75 against Mrs. King’s 40, but was able to collect only 52 points, while Mrs. King ran out her 40. The experts put up a great match, Mr. King’s high run being 27 and Mrs. King managed to make 19 on one stretch. Many of the fair fans attended the match and gave Mrs. King a big ovation as she made many difficult shots. They will play an other exhibition match Thursday- night. set a new record tor number of safe hits in a season. * * * AMONG 1 Ban Prough. of Birmingham, was tli^ top-notcher. winning 23 games and losing 6. He pitched 274 innings yielded 227 hits, and gave up 69 runs Elmer Brown, of Montgomery, fan ned the most batsmen, striking ou 156 of the 917 who faced him in 269 innings. Parsons, of Memphis, allowed more runs than any other hurler in pro portion to the Innings pitched, hi 36 games and 268 innings 139 men scored against him, an average <>f more than 4 1-2 runs to the game. Brenner, of New Orleans, achieved a record which be probably is n->t bragging about. He started eighteen games without winning one. He man aged to tie three, and is charged with losing eleven, the other four being won for his successor on the slab after he had .yielded to the bat tering: Troy, of Chattanooga, start ed eleven games and wound up the season with a pitching percentage of ,000. Coveleskio pitched the only one-hit game of the season, and lost it. i at that—a seven-inning affair with Montgomery, July 12. / * * * IN the miscellaneous records of 1913. * Tommy Long’s 113 runs set a n mark for following base-runners to shoot at—and a tough mark to hit. Clyde Wares, of the Billikens. led the base-swipers with 60, Dave Rob ertson being second with 57. Perry, of Nashville, on August 20, made five hits In that mans times u and repeated the next day in N> ' Orleans. Young, also of Nashville, made eleven successive hits in three days • * » AND the biggest record of al one of the biggest ever made in any league, or that ever will be made, was that last grand spurt of the champion Crackers. With an 80-point margin separat ing them from the Gulls. Bill Smith’s team took a brace, and of the next 32 games they won 2*;, tied 2 and lost 4.
