1 Til!'; ATLANTA (JKUKUIAN AND NKW8. This Is the Time of the Year That the Umpire Peels eit Peaee With All the World °y TEIER ACCEPTS PUCE ST HEAD OF OLD LEAGUE New President Was Former Player and Knows the Game From Every Angle, By Frank G. Menke. N EW YORK, Dec. 10.—With its new pilot, Governor John K. Tener, at the helm, the good ship National League to-day began a four-year voyage that promised to bo 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 crew, composed of baseball owners. They promised him to-day that in fair weather or foul they would be with him in body, heart and soul, and that they would leave the directing of the craft solely to him. Perhaps the promise and submission were caused by fears. Governors, as most per sons know, have the power to call out the militia or marines, or whatever it is they call out in case of trouble, and no doubt the crew did not care for a c.ash with these rough military persons. Tener arrived from Philadelphia during the morning, and was met with an avalanche of greetings and congratulations from the baseball as semblage at the Waldorf-Astoria. 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 leal boss of the National League, and That 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 he became president he was to be permitted to be 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 salary not stated, but it is understood to be $25,000 a year. He will not draw any salary' from the league until after 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 League and National Commis sion affairs. Of course, Tener’s arrival and his assuming the job as National League president was the big feature of to- i ay’s confab at the Waldorf-Astoria. Next in importance was the Tinker question. Just what is to become of the deposed manager of the Cincin nati Reds was an unsettled question overnight, but rumors floating around inclined to the idea that Josephus would land finally with about fifteen of the sixteen major league clubs. Tener a Former Player. Some years ago in Pittsburg John Kinley Tener. a ole-k in an office In the Smoky City, gained quite a repu tation as a ball player. He had suf fered with ill health, and on the ad vice of his physician, sought outdoor employment, 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 Kinley Tener was born in Ire land July 25. 1863. At the age of 9 his parents came to America and set tled In Pittsburg. At 18 years Tener had become quite well known as an amateur ball player. He had added to his small income by playing with amateur ball teams on Saturday aft ernoons for $5 a game. When it be came 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 United States Supreme Court. In 1885 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 the season was half over he was re leased and joined the Baltimore team. M his own request, he was released to the Naverhlll (Mass.) club, where he finished out the season, to return to business again, obtaining a clerk- »hip with a Pittsburg house. He con tinued to play amateur baseball, how- ever. _ Played on Anson s • cam. Tener’s brilliant record as a pitcher in and around Pittsburg brought him to the attention of A. G. 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 the world with the White Stockings and All-Nationals in 188R-89, and act- ed as secretary as well as playing great ball. , , . In 1891 Tener abandoned proles- sional baseball and settled in Char leroi Pa., where he again entered business, acquired interests In sev- eral large corporations, became presi dent of a bank and head of a street railway system. His fortune is esti mated at close to a million. In 1909 Mr. Tener became a Congressman, • md at the expiration of his term was nominated for Governor of Penns>l- vnnia by the Republicans and elected. His term will expire on January 1, 1915 Governor Tener made a good record as Chief Executive and enjoys much popularity in ills State.

Many Good Bouts on Card for To-night; Ferns vs. Gibbons CHICAGO, Dec. 10.—In addition to the Ritohie-Murphy affair on the ^oast to-night, many choice matches are 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 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 center of Wis consin’s boxing interests. In John Wagner’s lakeside Arena Matty Mc- Cue, of Racine, will make his first fight under the management of Tom Jones. His opponent to-night 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 Mandot, the Southern lightweight, will mix with Patsy Drouillard. of Detroit, for eight round? Mandot has had much more experience than Patsy and should have little trouble in outpointing him. Fred Gilmore, welterweight, boxes Frank Bauer, a heavyweight, at St. (’harles.

A BEI.ATED, but none the less interesting, boiling down of stunts and records in the Southern league last season reveals a lot of things that may be used to settle controversies in the Stove League, and, even if there’s no row on, make pretty good reading for the famished fans. You might look it over. • • « W ITH 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 Riv- lngton 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, Mnrean, .871: third base, El- wert, .943; shortstop, Elberfeld, .938; catcher. Mayer, 984; pitcher, Hogg, ,991; outfield, Clark, .974. A MONG the pitchers, Baron Bill Prough, of Birmingham, was the top-notcher, winning 23 games and losing 6. He pitched 274 innings, yielded 227 hits, and gave up 69 runs. Elmer Brown, of Montgomery, fan ned the most batsmen, striking out 166 of the 917 who faced him in 269 Innings Parsons, of Memphis, allowed more runs than any other hurler In pro portion to the inning? pitched. In 36 games and 268 innings 139 men scored against him, ari average of more than 4 1-2 runs to the game Brenner, of New Orleans, achieved a record w-hich he probably is not bragging about. He started eighteen games without winning one He man aged to tie three, and is charged with losing eleven, the other four being won for his successor on the slab after he had yielded to the bat tering. Troy, of Chattanooga, start ed eleven games and wound up the ing them from the Gulls, BUI Smith’s team took a brace, and of the next 32 games they won 26, tied 2 and lost 4. There isn’t much to add to the fig ures--especially if you watched them j do It. season with a pitching percentage of .000. Uoveleskle pitched the only one-hit game of the season, and lost it, at that—a seven-inning affair with Montgomery, July 12. TN the hitting department, Harry l Welchonce. of the Trackers, 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 Robertson, the Mobile slugger, captured because *it was awarded “to the batsman leading the league one week before the season closes.” Har’-y’s performance included 194 hits, 21 being tv/o-baggers, 12 of them triples, and 6 of them home runs. He set a new record for number of safe hits in a season. • • • IN the miscellaneous records of 1913, * Tommy Long's 113 runs set a new mark for following base-runners to shoot at and a tough mark to hit. Clyde Wares, of the Bill!kens, led the hase-swipers with 60, Dave Rob ertson being second with 57. Perry, of Nashville, on August 26, made five hits in that many times up, and repeated the next day in New Orleans. Young, also of Nashville, made eleven successive hits In three days * * • A ND the biggest record of all, and one of the biggest ever made, in any league, or that ever will be made, was that 'last grand spurt of the champion Crackers.
