that day was John Tener Say what's the matter with
Tener? He's another professional player that didn't

he quit the game.

his long body into position and then make that sphere
perform parts of circles the air to beat anything

that twirler of that breed was what the Chicago
needed to make it perfect and asked somebody
to lead me to him
sThe big kid said his name was John K Tener and
that he was book keeper in steel concern asked
his how the he got to that and he grinned
and said he didn't exactly know, but supposed it
come natural told hin4right then and there that if
he was fired of book keeping knew of another job
that was his for the asking He said he wasn't stuck
on, figures anyhow, and I named salary that made
his eyes stick out. Do you accept? put it straight
I certainly do with thanks he said. =
From the first he was the most popular man on
the team He had jovial sunny way about him that
simply took you by storm and I don't mind telling

do anything in those days with the ball that others
