with an avalanche of greetings and

though he did not give out any state

into office at the afternoon session, he
intimated that he intends to be the

that he will rule with an iron hand if

Tener a Former Player.
Some years ago in Pittsburg John
Kinley Tener, a cle^k in sn office in
the Smoky City, gained quite a repu
tation an a ball player, lb* had suf
fered wit ill healtm. and on tha no
vice of his physician, sought outdoor
‘employment, and entered professional
Twi.sebail. That marked the beginning
«if tlie career of the man who was to
Inter become Governor of Pennsyl
vania, and who yesterday was elect-
d o the presidencj of the National
l/e;igue to succeed President Tom
Lynch.
John Kinley Tener was born in Ire
land July 26, 1866. At the age of 9
■ns parents oamo to America and aet-
r lied in Pittsburg. At IS years Tener
dad become quite well known as an
amateur ball player. He had added
u» his small income by playing with
amateur ball teams on Saturday aft
ernoons for $6 a game. When it be-
• ?&me necessary for him t»» find work
•.n the open, his friends advised that
he become a professional ball player.
Vmong those who so adv ised him was
William H. Moody, later a justice of
Ihs United States Supreme Court.
In 18X5 Tener outalned his first pro
fessional baseball engagement as drat
baseman of the Pittsburg club. He
bail become a husky youngster,
weighing more than 200 pounds and
.standing more than six feet. Tener
did not make the tremendous hit that
hi» friends had predicted, and before
the season was half over he was re
leased and joined tlie Baltimore team.
At his own request, he was released
io the Naverhill (Maes.) club, where
he finished out the season, to return
io business agii i. obtaining .* clerk
ship with a Pittsburg house He con
tinued to plaj amateur baseball, hovv-
t ver.
Played on Anson’s Yearn.
Teller's brilliant record as a pitcher
in and around Pittsburg brought him
to the attention of A. O. Spalding and
-d t<» a job wit » Captain Anson's old
P dcago White Stockings. This time
Tener more than made good. He ac
quired a national reputation. He was
' tie of the men chosen by Spalding
io make the famous baseball tour c
he world wuli the White Stockings
<nd All-Nationals :n 18XS-89. and act
>d as secretary us well a.-# playin
great bill. ;
In 1891. Tener abandoned profes
sional baseball and settled in t’iiar- '
’eroi, Pa., where he again entered ‘
business, acquired interest? in set j
• ral large corporation**, bwaiu* pres!- i
lent of a hank and head of a street j
railway system. His fortune is esti-
iixitiu at « lose t.♦ a million. In 1909
dr Tener became r t’ongrr'SnUtn,
and at the expiration of his term was
nominate*: for Governor of Pennsjl-
vania by the Republicans and elec’
iis term will expire on Januarj
916. Governor Tener made a g>
record as Chief Executive and enjt
mu h popularity in ids StaD
j>ast, arc now quite
thrt great national
KtarN of the
prominent in
game.
Harry McCormick is now manager
of tko Chaitunooga club of ihe
Boutbern League, and if .he does not
make good 1 lose my guess.
Matty Woe a Star.
1 am sure he will, because he has
started In the right way. He has a
team already engaged, and a full one,
too. He is allowed only fifteen men
as a player limit, whereas 26 is the
big league limit. But Manager Harry
haa proven himself to be the same
pinch hitter as a manager he was
With the Giants as the man with the
punch. He has taken time by the
forelock, and has now gathered to
gether an aggregation of baseball
talent that will keep every other
Bout hern League manager guessing
to equal.
This is what Harry told me the
other day:
“What is all this I hear about
Brickley making field goals, one after
the other, from the 20 and
lines? Why, when Mathewson
were playing together with the
nell elev en those short kicks were
paltry.
“They were drop kicks, of course,
at which 1 was not so very good: but '
as for punting, I think the present
players are now far short of our abil
ity In the same line.
“I remember In a game Bucknell
van playing in those good old foot
ball days when In preliminary prac
tice 1 punted from midfield over the
goal posts with both the right and
left foot fourteen times in succession.
Whnr college players can do that to
day?
Matty, Too, Starred.
“And then there was Mathew son,
our fullback, who made a goal from
the fi» >1 against West Point from the
48-yard line, ami at an angle from
the side lines that did not give him
any more than u foot leeway be
tween the posts. This wa„«t the kick,
by the way, that put Matty on the
All-American line-up us the real full
back.
"There is no doubt the game of
football has (’hanged since the days
of Many and myself,” continued Mc
Cormick. “but 1 ’an not see when* it
has improved. Mind you, in our time
we had to buck the line as well a.?
make our kicks. There were no for
ward passes and all that, and the
game is more ‘open’ now than then,
but when we were playing we had
th“ •pun' h We were not afraid to
take hard knocks or to give them.”
aor
Joe Tinker is said to have stated that
he will not allow' Garry Herrmann to
trade him to any other club than Chi
cago. Pittsburg or New York. If any
other berth is found for him, Joseph
will probably manage a Federal League
team next season.
<* W ♦
Fred Clarke is now hot after Charley
Herzog, but it is doubtful if he can of
fer McGraw anything in return. Clarke
made a bid for Herzog at the time Mc
Graw traded Hank Gowdy and A1 Brid-
well to Boston for the great little third
baseman.
* * f
Members of the Brooklyn team are
going to remember their former man
ager, Bill Dahlen. on Christmas. Bill's
stocking will contain a fine present.
“Red” Smith. Atlantan, is threatening
to quit the Dodgers. So is Earl Ting
ling. However, when spring rolls
around it’s u good bet. that both will
report at the training camp on time.
* c *
Tommy McMillan has started light
training already. He is taking a ten-
mile jaunt over the Roswell road every
afternoon.
* • •
Charley Ebbets is after Romar.ach,
the Cuban shortstop. Romanach fears
that he w ill not be welcomed in organ
ized ball ou account of being a Cuban.
Tt’s a cinch, however, that the smootl.
Ebbetts will convince him otherwise.
<1 * M
Judge Kavanaugh should give Joe
Bean an umpire’s berth next year. The.
Atlanta Club coach know’s the game
backward arid would make a corking
official.
w it *
Kavanaugh last spring promised to
keep Bean in mind when he started to
lino up his taff for the 191-i season.
« « *
By the way. Anson will not admit
that his baseball playing days are over,
but he does confess to being a golfer,
and a golfer, according to his own defi
nition. is “any player who can get
around under a hundred.’.’ Probably-
he calls th<; others duffers. He also
admits to being guilty of an 81 out in
Chicago.
!> c c
When Fred Clarke affixed his John
Hancock to a Pittsburg contract las.:
week it was the twenty-first time that
he has agreed to work for Barney Drey-
fuss.
Pop Anson declares that Jerry Cut-
sliaw. former Southern League star,
now a Dodger, is a regular second base
man.

Mr. Tinker will not enter vaudeville
this winter, owing to the fact that ho
appeared in burlesque all last summer.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1U.—In addition to
the Ritchie-Murphy affair on the
coast to-night, many choice matches
arc scheduled for the Middle Western
part of the country.
New Orleans is wrapped up in the
meeting of Mike Gibbons, generally
called the welterweight champion,
and Wildcat Ferns, the hard-hitting
Kansa.i City mauler. They should
put up a hot battle, one that will de
light the fight- loving Southerners.
Gibbons has all the class ot* the
pair in a boxing way and can lilt
wme himself. The weight, 145 pounds
at 3 o’clock, will let Mike in with all
his strength.
Ferns ha® nothing but lvis punch
and plenty of ruggednese.
Racine will be the center of Wis
consin’s boxing interests. In John
Wagner's l^aktside Arena Matty Mo-
Cue, of Racine, will make hi* first
light under the management of Tom
Jones. His opponent to-night will be
Tommy Bresnahan, a tough and vet
eran Easterner, capable to’ extending ' oor, .9M < Asr
any boy of his inches. T'.m weight . ba^e. Mntvur
I for the battle to-night is 128 pounds
at 8 o’clock.

Patsy Droulllard, of Detroit, for eight
rounds. Mandot lias had much more
experience than Patsy and should
have little trouble in outpointing him. i losing
