PUCE IT HEAD
OF OLD LEA9UE
New President Was Former Player
and Knows the Game From
Every Angle.
B\ Frank G. Menke.
N r KW YORK. T>*r, 10 —With Hu
I n«w pilot. Governor John K.
Tener, at the helm, the good
vtnp National Leagu* to-day began e
four-year voyage that promised to be
smoother than any ever experienced
by this old and battered, but still sea
worthy. skiff
The presence of a new pilot aboard
seemed to have a taming effect upon
the heretofore mutinous spirits of the
rev. . composed of baaeball owners.
They promised him to-day thai in
fair weather or foul they would be
with him In body, heart and soul, and
that thev would leave the directing of
the rraft solely to him. Perhaps the
promise and submission were caused
by fear*. Governors, as most per
sons know, have the power to call out
ihe militia or marines, or whatever it
Is they call out In case of trouble,
and no doubt the crew did not care
for a oiash with these rough military
persons
Tener arrived from Philadelphia
luring the morning, and was met
with an avalanche of greetings and
- ongratillations from the baseball as
Kentblajfe at the Waldorf-Astoria. Al
though iie did not give out any state
ment of policy prior to hln Induction
into office at the afternoon session, he
Intimated that he Intends to be the
real boss of the National I league, and
'hat he will rule with an iron hand If
no milder method succeeds.
Before Tener accepted the job,
when It was formally offered to him
about a month ago, he stated that If
lie became president Ue was to be
permitted to bo president—not a fig
urehead and that he would not stand
for any heckling or subway politics
with reference to his rulings and
methods
Elected on Four-Year Term.
Tener was elected for a four-year
term, at a a&lary not stated, but It is*
understood to bo $26,000 a year. lie
will not draw any .salary from the
league until nfter his term as Govern
or of Pennsylvania expires on Decem
ber 31. 1914. but will give all the at
tention needed In the interim to Na
tional lueague and National Commis
sion affairs.
Of course, Toner's arrival and his
assuming the Job as National League
president was the Mg feature of to
day's confab at the Waldorf-Astoria.
Next in Importance was the Tinker
question Just what Is to become of

nati Reds was an unsettled question
overnight, but rumors floating around

Tener a Former Player.
Some years ago In Pittsburg John
Kinley Tener. a clo-k in an office In
the Smoky City, gained quite a repu
tation as a bail player He had suf
fered with ill health, and on the ad
ice of his physician, sought outdoor
t-mployment. 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 National
League to succeed President Tom
Lynch.
John Klnlev.Tener was born in In
land July 26, 1863. At the age of 9
nis parents came to Amerlcu and set
tled in Pittsburg. At IK years Tener
had become quite welj known as an
amateur ball player. He had added
to his small income by playing with
amateur hall teams on Saturday aft
ernoons for $5 a game When it be
anie necessary for him to find work
in the open, his friends advised that
he become a professional ball player.
Among those who so advised him was
William H. Moody, later a Justice of
the 1’nit.ed States Supreme Court.
Tn 18s:> Tener obtained his first pro
fessional baseball engagement as first
baseman of the Pittsburg club. He
had become a husky youngster,
weighing more than 200 pounds and
standing more than six feet. Tener
did not make the tremendous hit that
his friends had predicted, and before
*he casein was half over he was re-
1 eased and joined the Baltimore team.
At his own request, he was released
to the Naverhtil (Mass.) club, where
he finished out the season, to return
to business again, obtaining a clerk-
snip with a Pittsburg house. He con
tinued to play amateur baseball, how

Harry McCormick Tells About the |
Kicks He and Matty Made
When at Bucknell.
By Sam Cram*.
N OW YORK. Dec. 10 In these
combination days of football,
baseball, turkey, Bnckleys and
such It tm timely, perhaps, to go back
a few years and tell what other grid
iron heroq,* did in the way of kick
lug
Baseball is mixed in with this little,
short story as a sort of stuffing for |
the Christmas turkey for the simple !
reason that Christy Mathewson and
Harry McCormick, both football
stars of the past, arc now quite
prominent in the great national
game.
Harry McCormick is now manager
of the Chattanooga club of the
Southern League, and if he does not
make good I lose my guess
Matty Was a Star.
1 am sure lie 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
has proven himself to be the same
pinch hitter as a manager he was
with the Giants as the man wdth the
punch. He has taken time by the
forelock, and hnr now gathered to
gether an aggregation of baseball
talent that will keep every other
Southern League manager guessing
to equal
This is what Harry told me the
other da>
"What is. all this 1 hear about
Brickley making field goals, one after
the other, from the 2U and 30 yard
lines? Why, when Mathewson and l
were playing together with the Buck
nell eleven 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 tlie same line.
‘ 1 remember in a game Bucknell
was playing in those good old foot
ball days when In preliminary prac
tice l punted from midfield over the
goal posts with both the right and
left foot fourteen times In succession.
What college players can do that to
day ?
Matty, Too. Starred.
And then there was Mathewson,
our fullback, who made a goal from
the field against West Point from the
48-yard line, and at an angle from
the side lines that did not give him
any more than a foot leeway be
tween the posts. This was the kick,
by the way. that put Matty on the
All-American line-up as the real full
back
"There is no doubt the game of
football has changed since the days
of Matty and myself,” continued Mc
Cormick. "but I can not see where it
haa improved Mind you, n our time
we had to buck the line as well as
make our kick*. 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
the "punch.' We were not afraid to
take hard knocks or to give them."
