The presence of n new pilot aboaid ■seemed to have a taming cfTc'-t. upon e heretofore mutinous spirits of the re\v. composed of baseball owners. They promised him to-day that in fali weather or foul they would be I •Clth him in body, heart and soul, and I that they would leave the directing of j he craft solely to him. Perhaps the promise and submission were Jaused by fears.

Al though he did not give out any state ment of policy prior to his induction into office at the afternoon session, he intimated that he intends to be the jeul bos- of the National league, and that he will rule with an iron hand if m> milder method succeeds.

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. 5PWS*tt85 Big Records in Southern in 1913 Ferns vs. Gibbons c f / n r Somehchoesor the Glorious Strife Mrs. King Defeats i Her Husband in HandicapCueMatcli Mr- Bertha AI.

Tho experts put up a great match, 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.
