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 lbe deposed manager of the Cincin nati Reds was an unsettled question overnight, but rumors floating around Inclined to the Idea that Josephus would land Anally with about fifteen of the sixteen major league clubs 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 ever Playad on Anson’s Tearn Tener s brilliant record us a pitcher ui and around Pittsburg brought him ro the attention of A G.

He was one of the men chosen by Spalding to make the famous baseball tour of •ho world with the White Stockings snd All-Nationals in 1888-89, and at t- ed as secretary as well as playing great Mill- In 1891 Tener abandoned prole- sional baseball and settled in Char leroi, Pa., where he again entered business, acquired interests in sc\ - era) large corporations, became presi dent of a bank and h**ad of a street railway system. His fortune is enii mated at close to a million. In 1909 Mr. Tener became a Congressman, and at the expiration of hi* term was nominated for Governor of Pennsyl-* vania by the Republicans and fleeted His te»*m will expire on January 1 1915 Go\ ernnr Tener made a good record as Chief Executive and enjoys much popularity in bis State JVfcT G-IYE A vJVfF-F^ OWE ErAftpU<-*- O P- >»lPlCI0^ /VW0 'TT ArL.v oCf MfO IUJMWY (HOT *-*J SACPC/LU A-M 0 THAT - WAi CV 0U6-H - Her*- imjibaho cakjt 'fAKt A homo OREATT-I ‘tJ&JJ \A)I nvoor 1 OHt jsAEArfOIFJ <r fce"< <° G- A,rrA<,HeT> ro JA'O 0IAY 0eO*PT AA • r r»AAY- oh ro mij Sri/t-f- &UT- irE OO WT i< N> 0 vJ W M A.1*" iTi >\JL- AiJouT- FoS /AUTAwCE — T>Ui FWMI M 6—- <-+ei £VT L+O TMe PHOME. fteu- p.| *; Gs: ITS TR-fcv/v ft jv)5 GET — i-ar A.G'Su-'C'li-j- — s** HOR1— - INDOOR SPORTS By Tad V»» can conquer It ravilv In | rt..,- •■-ir Fealtli. qralong your IHe No morr ■•om . - ■ »kn-«« K. kt manly elgor. ralm nerve* Hear eye* and • perloi roe .'al atrnngrh Whe'lirt ru or -m' Ke pipe lira rare-, 'gar* a-; my •« Tolu, > H- W<> , ' .1 j. Mniled tree E J WOODS,. Sixth A*»., ,4S * , Mew Vtri, N v. 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."
