TENER STARTED CAREER
PLAYING FOR IS 4 WEEK

Some years ago in Pittsburg, John
Kinley Tener, clerk In an Office In the
Smoky City. gained quite a reputation
as g. bali player. He had suffered with
Ill health, and on the advice of his
physician. sought outdoor employment,
and entered professional baseball.
That marked the beginning of the
career of the man who was to later
become governor OF Pennsylvania, and
who yesterday was elected to the pres
idenoy OF the National league TO sue
coed President Tom Lynch
John Kinley Tener was born In Ire
land, July rs, 1853. At the age of
nine his parents came to America and
settled in Pittsburg. At eighteen years
Tener had become quite well known as
an amateur ball player. He had added
to his small income by playing with
amateur ball teams on Saturday after
Moons for IS a game. When 1t became
necessary for him to find work in the
open. his friends advised that he be-
come professional ball player. Among
those who so advised him was Will
liam III. Moody. later Justice of the
United States Supreme court.
In 1885 Tener obtained his first pro-
fessional baseball engagement as first
basenaD of the Pittsburg club. He
had become husky youngster, weigh
ing more than 400 pounds and stand
ing more than six feet Tener did not
make the tremendous hit that his
friends had predicted. and before the
season was half over he was released

Little Difficulty in
Defeating Yale

NEW YORK. Dec, 2o.-St Mich
aels, of Toronoto. easily defeated Yale
at hockey tonight in the st. Nicholas
skating rink. 1t was Yales first ap-
pearanco this season and many Wis
tied the rink to see what the team
could do under Tom Towards coach
ing, but were disappointed because
ST. Michaels won by O. score OF 10 i.
The game was a very fast one, and
some good hockey was shown on both
sides but the Canadians scored al
most at Will in the second period.
They showed much skill at stick work.
and were very clever lodging and
passing.
Almost from the face off in the
second half ST. Miehaels had Yale on
the defensive. and after two minutes
OF hot play Murphy scored the nrst
goal on a shot from the side. which
slipped by Schiller hafore- he knew
1t was coming. Three and half
minutes later La FTamme, scored, I'M

VERY LITTLE COMMENT ON PRO-
POSED 1NTERCHAGE is
HEARD, HOWEVER.

PARIS, Dec. 20.--There Is little
comment in the Paris press On the re-
ported possibility OF an interchange
OF official visits between President
Poincare and President Wilson Be-
yond the comment of the Matin on
December 18th. there is scarcely any
reference to the matter In an ed
itoriai way. This IS possibly because
1t has been definitely announced that
the constitution of the United States
makes it impossible for the president
to leave the c.untry during his tenure
Of office.
The editor OF the Paris Midi thinks
that President PoIncare ought to visit
the Panama Pacific exposition in Sar
Francisco in 1915 and make tho most
of the opportunity. as Germany and
England are both neglecting the ak
position. On this account the editor
says France should undertake the task
of explainire Latin-America to the
United States acting as a buffer state
between tive races so unlike in their
origins and go profoundly unsympa-
thetic one with the other.
There Is no reason why Priests
dent Poincare should not present him
self in Washington" says the editor
of the Paris Midi. with n kind a..
mandate OF peace and harmony OF linz

Tener's brilliant record as a pitcher

and led to Job with Captain Ansons

HERMANN WILL
BECOME OWNER Of
REDS THE BELIEF
TINKER TROUBLE WILL RESULT
IN GENERAL REoRGANIZA-
TON OF CLUB.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2o.--Garry Herr
mann will own controlling interes.
in the Cincinnati club before the sea-
son OF 1914 opens. This interesting tip
came to your correspondent today from
one Of the biggest men I'm organized
baseball, who is one OF Hermann 3
closest friends and supporters. The
row between Hermann and the Cincin-
natl club directors over the sale of
Joe Tinker to Brooklyn will result In
a complete reorganization OF the Reds
ownership, it is said. Hermann In the
largest individual stakeholder. but a
combination OF the shares owned by
the Fleischmanns. Julius and Max. and
by several others had tied the club
presidents hands
Hermann Is extremely popular with
the presidents and owners of National
and American League clubs, who are
up in the arms because Of the humilt-
ating position In which he has been
placed by the Fleischmann combination.
Within the last week Garry has been
urged to buy out the opposition.
Deny Livingston Rumor.
It was rumored the other day that
Jefferson livingston wanted to pur-
chase the Fieischmann Interests in the
Reds, but this was visorousir denied.
The Fleischmanns, however. are said
to be disgusted with the presen tur-
moil In Cincinnati and will consider
an offer from Hermann.
According to the story told today
Hermann already had asked the
F1eischmanns to put a price on their
stock.
II Hermann had been absolute in
authority tn former years. baseball men
say. that the Cincinnati team would
have been much more successful. But
the Developments in the Tinker deal
have disclosed the real causes Of the
Reds poor showing from year to year.
IN this connection. n story OF the In
side workings OF the club is now In
circulation.
1t appears that Max Fleisohn1ann had
run In with Tinker last summer that
was tho forerunner of trouble. Fleisch-
mann used to run a summer ball team
in the Adirondscks. He paid ell ex-
penses. hired professionals who mas
oaaded under assumed names and
played oenterheld himself. He became
convinced in due time that he knew
how maj or IeaGUs team should rs
conducted aud soon he was busy In
speeding the affairs Of the Reds.
Tinker says Things.
One day Max Fieischmann, after a
room and is said to have scored Tinker
for keeping pitcher in the BOX too
long. Tinker. hot-headed young man,
resented this criticism by ordering
Fleischmann to leave the club house.
Hot words were exchanged and Fleisch-
mann went away vowing vengeance,
Hermann. so the story goes took
Tinkers END of the coneroversy and
then II VIA decided to give one share
of stock to Harry stephens. 80 that he
could be elected ecretary. with the
power 70 supervise Herrmann's official
acts. Hermann did not favor the re-
ncval OF Tinker from the management
OF thu Reds and he argued go well that
for while It looked az IL Tinker would
remain In charge. But Stephens prob
ably acting under orders. reopened the
breach with Tinker and when the latter
fired n verbal broadside at the clubs
secretary II was beyond Hsrrmann's
power TO retain the former manager
of the team.

Intimately acquainted with the course

that England was taking at this time

try. With tho European players OF

that the fact that conditions In this
country made 1t almost impossible TO

by the International federation
further complicated the mater. SO
that the United States would be iefg
to play by itself.
Now that the Britons have become

managed to last long enough to &c, Il

Joe was busy after that keeping

Jeanette at his mercy. but never was
