Mir. John K. Tener in entering his official capacity as National league chief has been confronted with a most perplexing and unpleasant task. The little affair that has arisen in Cincin- natl between MT. Hermann and his di- rectors over the sale of Joe Tinker bids fair to try the tact and judgment of the most judicious and MT. Tener in bringing the thing to an amicable set tIement will have an excellent chance to show his fitness for his new post.
 It is for such Wrangles as these that MT. Tener has been elected. If there is any wisdom in the old idea of teach ing swimming by throwing the novice into the water at once perhaps some what the same circumstances will be the salvation of MT Tener. At any

rate he is being given immediately q pretty fair sample of the little chores that will confront him in his new field from time to time. National league affairs have never been marked by very great degree of gentleness and Ienity. As a rule whenever any busi- ness is to be transacted between owners and managers the discussion soon takes on the aspects of a street car riot.
 MT. Tener is known to have a great deal of dignity. His dignity in fact is said to have been a potent factor in securing for him his present office. If he is able to survive his term as the National league eXecutiCe with his dig nifty intact he will have convinced one and all that he has that quality in ab- undance.

TEMPE BUTTE CLIMB IS
 NOW A STANDARD TEST
To Grade the Trail Would Enable Any Car to Make the Ascent;
 Skill and Tires Necessary.

The relative merits of a smooth and the present trail up the Tempe butte is a subject of no little interest here Since Bill Tremaine in his diminutive Maxwell made the climb and duplicated the feat of Naquin's NeIie racer, September Morn. many have been thinking of the hill as THE test of the valley. It has been suggested that Tempe smooth and widen the trail, so as to make of the Butte climb d good advertising feature for the south side town But Tremaine points out that to widen the track or take away any of it's rocky ruts would be to spoil it as a test place. For it is not a case of grade, at all The real trial comes in keeping the back wheels biting the hillside, instead of slipping on the sEale and idly racing. In other words the fractions the thing
