Some years ago in Pittsburg John

ation as a bail player He had suf
fered with ill health, and on the ad-
ice of his physician, sought outdoor
mployment. and entered professional
baseball. That marked tho beginning
of the career of the man who was to
ster become Governor of Pennsyl
vania and who yesterday was elect
ed to the presidency of the Nation il
league to succeed President Tom
Lynch.
John Kinley Tener was born »n Ire
land July 35, 1863. \t the age of H
ii« parents came to America and set
tled in Pittsburg. At 18 years Tener
had become quite well known ns an
amateur ball player. He bad added
to hi« small income by playing with
amateur ball teams on Saturday aft
ernoons for $6 a game When it be-
■ ame necessary for him to And work
In the open, his friends advised that
he become a professional ball player.
\mong those who so advised him was
William H. Moody, later a Justice of
the United States Supreme Court
Tn 1885 Tener obtained his Hr«<t pro
fessional baseball engagement h*» first
baseman of the Pittsburg club. He
had become a husky youngster,
weighing more than 200 pounds and

At his own request, ho waa released

Harry McCormick Tells About the
Kicks He and Matty Made
When at Bucknell,
N SW YORK. IV.- 10 In Ihene
combination days of football,
baseball, turke\. Rnckleyg and
such It is timely, perhaps to go back
a few years and tell what other grid
Iron heroes did in the way of kick
ing
Baseball is mixed in with this littW,
short story as a sort of .stuffing for
the. Christmas turkey for the slmptc
reason that Christy Mathewson amt
Harry McCormick, both football
stars of the past, arc now quite
prominent tn the great national
ga me.
Harry McCormick is now manager
of the Chattanooga club of the
Southern League, and If he does not
make good I lose my guess
Mdtty Was a Star. •
I am sure he will, because he has
started In the right \tay. He has a
team already engaged, and a full one.
too He Is allowed onjy fifteen men
as a player limit, whereas 25 is the
big league limit. But Manager Harry
has proven himself to he the same
pinch hitter as a manager he was
with the Giants as tlio man with the
punch lie has taken time by the
forelock, and liar now gathered to
get her an aggregation of baseball
talent that will keep every other
Southern league manager guessing
to equal.
This is what Harry told me the
other day
"What is all this l hear about
Bricklev making field goals, one after
the other, from the 20 and 30 yard
lines? Why. when Mathewson and I
were playing together with the lJuck-
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 the same line.
"1 remember in a game Bucknell
waa playing in those good old foot
ball days when in preliminary prac
tice I punted from midfield over tho
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
1 lie field against West Point from the
48-yard line, and at ai.n 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
"f Matty and myself," continued Mc
Cormick, "but 1 can not see where it
lias improved. Mind you. In our time
>x •* had to buck the line as well its
make our kicks There were no for
ward passes ami 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
tuke hard knocks or to give them "

FODDER FOR FANS
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. Tf any
other berth is found for him, Joseph
will probably manage a Federal League
team next season.

Fred Clarke is now hot after Charley
Herzog, hut it is doubtful if he can of
fer McGraw anything In return. Clarke
made a bid for Herzog at the time Me-
■:lr\vs t-aded Hank Gowd.v and A1 Brid-
■ev ‘c Boston for the great little third
baseman.

report at the training camp on time.

mile jaunt over the Roswell road every

Charley Lbbets is after Roman&ch,
the Cuban shortstop. Romanach fears
that lue will not be welcomed In organ
ized ball on account of being a Cuban.
It’s a cinch, however, that the smooth
Ebbetts will convince him otherwise

Judge Kavanaugh should give doe
Bean an umpire's berth next year. The
Atlanta Club coach knows the game
backward and would make a corking
official

Kavanaugh last spring promised 10
keep Bean in mind when he started to
line up his taff for the 1914 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
niPon. ts "any player who ran gei
around under a hundred.'' Probably
he calls the others duffers. He also
admits to being guilty of an 81 out in
Chicago.

Hancock to a Pittsburg contract Iasi
week It was the twenty first time that
he has agreed to work for Barney Drey
fuss.
Pop Anson declares that .Jerry Cut-
shaw. former Southern League star
now a Dodger, is a regular second base-
man.

Many Good Bouts on
Card for To-night;
Ferns vs. Gibbons
CHICAGO. Dec. 10.—In addition to
the Ritchie-Murphy affair on the
coast to-night, many choice matches
ire scheduled for the Middle Western
gi iJt 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
Kansas City mauler. They should
put up a hot battle, one that will de
light the fight-loving Southerners
Gibbons has all the class of the
pair in a boxing way and can hit
some himself. The weight. 145 pounds
at 3 o'clock, will let Mike in with all
his strength.
Ferns has nothing but his punch
and plenty of ruggedness.
Racine will be the (enter of Wis
consin's boxing interests. In John
Wagner's Lakeside Arena Matty Mo-
Cue, of Racine, will make his first
fight under the management of Tom
Jones. His opponent to-fiight will be
Tommy Bresnahan. a tough and vet
eran Easterner, capable of extending
any boy of his inches. The weight
for the battle to-night is 128 pounds
at 3 o'clock.
Over at Windsor Joe Mundot. the
Southern lightweight, will mix wit
Patsy Droutll&rd, of Detroit, for eight
rounds. Maud »t has had much more
experience than Pats\ and should
have little trouble In outpointing him
Fred Gilmore, welterweight, boxes
Frank Bauer, a heavyweight, at St.

U 71TU 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 Rtv-
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. McGilvray and Snede-
oor. .984 (Agler fielded .982); second
base. Marean, .971; third base, El-
wert, .943. shortstop. Clberfeld, .958;

IN the hitting department. Harry

the league with an average of .338,
jumping to the front just a few days
too late to cop the Rose medal, which
Dave R-ibertson, the Mobile slugger,

the batsman leading the league one
week before the season closes."
Harry's j>erformance included 194
hits. 21 hteing two-baggers, 12 of them |

set a new record for number of safe
hits in a season.
