TENNEY's DAYS ARE NOW OVER
Has Record of sixteen Years as BAH
Player.


Player.
Fred Teney's days of usefulness to the
New York Giants have passed and the one
time king of the first sackers has been
turned loose
The passing of Tenney from the big
league marks the going of the last of the
stars who won pennants for Boston in 1896,
1897 and 1898 What an aggregation of ball
tossers that old Boston bunch was Duffy,
Hamilton and old Stahl in the gardens, Col
Inns on third, Lowe second, Herman Long
short Tenney first. Bergen and Camel
catchers and Nicholas, Klobedanz, Lewis
and stlvetts pitchers. Tenney is the last
one of this old guard to remain in the
classy company of the big league.
Tenney Joined the Boston team in 1894 as
catcher, coming direct from Brown uni
versity. Although left-handed, Tenney
made good back of the bat. but he didn't
come into his own until he replaced old
Tom Tucker on first base. Then he be-
came the marvel of the base ball world
Last year Tenney slowed up, and this
spring, before reporting to the Giants at
Marlin, Tex. he had an operation per-
formed on his foot, which he hoped would
benefit him. At Dallas McGraw announced
that he would play Merkle regularly on
first. but would hold Tenney in reserve
Unlike most athletes. Tenney has saved
his money. and has a beautiful home al
Winthrop Highlands, Mass, a suburb OF
Boston. He IL an accomplished artist with
water colors and is also clever writer,
having had considerable experience In prac
teal newspaper work, so when his release
slip is handed him he will not have to
worry over the future.
In the sixteen years Fred Tenney has
been in the big league he has batted as
follows.
