also swing into line and complete the
league.

was burning fiercely, but the inmates
were gotten out in safety. Went

that time the ell of the house had
burned off, and the flames We're eating

sleeping man lay. In five minutes he
would have been beyond help. As it

BOSTON, Nov. 24.-From play
er on the bench on a baseball
field to governors chair of great

cisely the step taken by John X.

that Tener is still Interested in
baseball, being the real owner5s;t
is said, of the Boston National

At one time Tener was consid-
cred one of the best pitchers in
the game. Under Captain Arson
sTener was a member Of thee old
Invincible Chicago team and won
many games for them through the
cunning of his throwing arm.
Tener does not figure in the

club, but his interests are said to
be represented by John Harris,
president of the club. 1t is gen.
orally believed that Harris is mere
ly a figurehead.
