Tener a Former Player. Some years ago in Pittsburg John Kinley Tener. a clo-k In an office In ’he Smoky City, gained quite a repu- 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 standing more than six feet. Tener did not make the tremendous hit that h * friends had predicted, and before the season was half over he was re leased and Joined the Baltimore team. At his own request, ho waa released 10 the Naverhlll (Mass.) club, where he finished out the season, to return to business again, obtaining a clerk ship with a Pittsburg house. He con tinued to play amateur baseball, how ever. Played on Anson's Team Tener'9 brilliant record as a pitcher in and around Pittsburg brought him to the attention of A. O Spalding and led to a job with Captain Anson's old Chicago White Stockings This time Tener more than made good. He ac quired a national reputation. He was one of the men chosen by Spalding to make the famous baseball tour of ihe world with the White Stockings slid All-Nationals in 1888-89. and act ed as secretary as well as playing gi eat ball. In 1891 Tener abandoned profes sional baseball and setiled in Char leroi, Pa where he again entered business, acquired interests in sex *ial large corporations. ht une jne.M- dent of a bank and head of a street railway system. His fortune la esti mated at close to a million In 1909 Mr Toner became a < 'ongresarnan. And at the expiration of his term was nominated for Governor of Pennsyl vania by the Republicans and elected. 'I .« term will expire on January 1. 191'.

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 " / GoSw woo i>Ay/ TH YOU'RE Bo^O-^v ACM - V4KM>T>YE 5AV IF bfm it dowm -rt t>»e c orkjetr aajd pLAeV A L1TTL-E. &AmE Of TOOL PH" I'NA 31 ClC OL T>4E PAF-W O 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.

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. Charles.

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; catcher. Mayer. .984. pi’cher, Hogg. 991: outfield.

Harry ' Welchonce, of the Crackers, led 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, < aptured because it was awarded "to 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 | triples, and 6 of them home runs. He set a new record for number of safe hits in a season. • * * TN the miscellaneous records of 1913, 1 Tommj Long’s 113 runs set a new mark for following base-runners to shoot at—and a tough mark to hit.
