TENNEY WILL PLAY SUNDAYS.
Boston Nationals Ex-Manager Recedc:
from His Former Position.

Boston. Dec. I6.-What is going to help
the Boston Nationals a great deal next
season is the fact that Fred Tcnncy IS
going to play Sunday ball. For q long
time the Boston club did not play ball on
Sunday. and when it did Ten" did not
join in. OF course. this has done the club
an infinite amount of harm, and cspec-
tally so when the club was crippled.
Tcnncy is financially interested in the
club anG recognizes. with his president,
Mr.. Dovey, that new aspect las been
placed on the matter of playing ball.
Again, it was not so much owing to any
conscientious scruplcs of his own that he
has refraincd from playing as it was that
his people preferred he should not. Fred
realizes that when on" is in Rome ono
should do as the Romans do. and 50
when the matter Of his playing Sunday
ball came up for discussion between
President 1'ovcy and himself. he waived
the stand he had heretofore taken and
agreed to play.
