Was a Star PLAYER.

Victim of brotherhood.
When that memorable war with the
brotherhood broke out in baseball
Tener took the brotherhood III and
lost in that fight. He became so dis
susted with the dealings of some of the
men of that organization that he gave
Iup playing and he went into the real
estate business and made a million dol
lars. He made enough to beat out the
boss political ruler of Pennsylvania, and
what is something else | must not for
get, ard which the club members on
Green street will appreciate, Jack"
Tener jumped n the race for grand
exalted ruler of the Order of Elks and
won that race, too, n this only last
year in Philadelphia. ! remember
when his name was mentioned in my
lodge it was laughed at. there were
Judges and lawyers against him.. That
didn't matter, Jack Tener, with that
Irish fighting spirit in his veins, went
out m won, and | a my hat Off to
him now that he is going to a k a seat
in Congress-. What Jack" Ten did
you and every one else can try and do.
VIII Hardly Do II
There is some talk of Governor
Hughes. of New York State, calling out
the militia tomorrow to prevent the
racing at the, Aqueduct. True, the
Chief Executive of the Empire State is
81 little frothy at the defeat of the spec

he has been going through the upper

ators who voted down his pet hobby.
But I think he is too sane a man to all
out inexperienced soldiers to try and
rout a crowd of &c, 1000 racing enthusi-
nsts, who will surely be at the Aque-
duct tomorrow when the bell for the
first race begins.
Arc You Going over.
This afternoon the American League
Park will throw open its gates for the
followers of the Highlanders, and there
is hardly any doubt but the cosy
grounds will be filled with men and
women of every rank, who will root for
the ''Kilties'' to down Connie Mack's
Athletics. If you want to see style in
headgear for both sexes just drop into
the league grounds between 2 and 8 p
m. and you will find everything from
the latest imported brown derby for the
male side to the Merry Widow" bon
net flor the fair sex.
