Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, November lit Is
said that Gov. John X. Tener of
PENNSYLVANIA will be the next presi-
dent of the National League According
to the latest accounts six clubs have al
ready agreed to offer the post to the
state and while the other two clubs
are still to be heard from, there is not
doubt in the world that they would
climb on the band wagon.
At first glance it is hard to understand
why man should choose to become a
National League magnate rather than
remain governor of a great state like
Pennsylvania. but there is another side
to the case. In the first place. Gov.
Tener has always kept his love for base
ball. and even today 1t is said that he
retains much of the skill which long ago
made him famous as a pitcher of the
Chicago White Stockings.
In the second place the National
League has at last come to realize that
it is steadily Slipping backward as a
result of the policies that it has employed
in the past, and the new president would
be given five-year term and an annual
salary of $2o, 600. He would be as dbso-
lutte in his own organization as Ban
Johnson now is in the American League.
Gov Tener's term has but one more year
to run, and his present salary is $4,000.
One of the chief movers in the plan
to secure Gov Tener as the leagues
new executive Is President Baker of the
Philadelphia club, formerly police COM
missioner in this city. Mr.. Baker wishes
a man for president of the league so
big that his acts will be unquestioned
by the chronic kickers, who have all but
disrupted the organization.
Adrian C. Arson discovered Tener pitch
ing semi-professonal ball in Pittsburgh.
He Immediately recognized his ability and
signed him as one of the pitchers of the
Chicago club. Tener made the tour of
the world with the White Stockings in
1885, officiating as treasurer of the or
ganization as well as doing his share on
the ball field. In 1889 he kept up his
twirling record. batted .215 and played
first base in the final games of the season
when Arson was incapacitated. The fol-

BY j. ED GRILLO.

Notwithstanding the fact that Walter
johnson and Chick Gandil are the only
two members of the Nationals who have
signed contracts for next season, Man
ager Griffith is not in the least disturbed
ty of his players signed. but this year
the players We're not even asked to sign
before they left here, because Griffith
knew that most of them had pledged
themselves not to do business for next
year until notified to do SO by the Off
Gals of the Players Fraternity

Der is over | shall send out my con
tracts. and as every man on my team has

The order of the fraternity against
signing until further notice has worked
hardship on some of the players and
is most pleasing to the clubs. The play
erS not being under contract cannot eN-
pect to draw advance money, hence the
clubs are not being bothered during the
off-season. though some of the players
are finding it a hard matter to make both
ends meet.
Several are sure to insist on signing
their contracts before long In order that
they can get enough money to carry them
through the winter, and they are apt to
disregard the fra ternity's order against
such practices.

At this time he became interested i'll poll

After some years he became a congress

Crawford spent last winter in business

Crawford played in number of games

Chicago.-The shores Of Lake Su-

Tuesday night with the wreckage Of
three days gale and snowstorm,
which cost the lives of probably three
score persons, turned bottom up in
midlake 3OO-foot steel vessel with. its
crew, wrecked or grounded numerous
other craft, and caused loss as yet
unestimated, but which will run into
the millions.
The full details of the storm, which
swept from the westernmost end of
Lake Superior to the eastern shore of
Lake Erie, became known only today,
when survivors began arriving in vari-
GUS ports with tales of hardships and
heroic rescues seldom eQualed on the
lakes.
On land the storm hit hardest at
Cleveland, Ohio, where five persons
were killed and 10 others lost, and
where 100000 damage was caused
to property.
The death toll, with many ports un-
reported. is told thus:
Twenty-Five or 40 probably drowned

floating in Lake Huron.
Five bodies washed ashore at st. Jo-

Huerta Is Defiant.
Mexico City.-General Huerta has
shown no indication that he will COM
ply with the American demands for
his resignation. On the contrary,
those who profess to have his conf
dence say his program includes the
continued occupancy Of the presidency
until some time late in the year 1914,
and that he intends to carry out his
plan or organizing the new congress
and defying Washington, even to the
point Of war.
Mexico City.-Government officials,
foreign residents and the people of
Mexico realize that the relations be-
tween this country and the United
States are strained almost to the point
of war and there is much discussion as
to what Washington will do.
Opinion in Mexico is widely diver
gent as to what Washington's attitude
will be.
At the American embassy 1t is re-
garded as logical that Washington,
perhaps, will furnish vital develop
ments in the relations between the
two countries.
This assumption is based on the
Washington note to General Huerta,
