Tenney. after that famous machine broke
up. played first for the Giants ana helps4
them win the pennants OF 1904 and 1905 In
1909 he had a fling at managing me Bos-
ton club. but met with Indifferent success
because OF poor material in his squad. ana
then gave up active participation IN the
game. But Tenney ever since has retained
MS keen interest in baseball and used TO
nav periodical visits TO the parks Of both
the Braves and Red SoX and mingle with
Fi5aiiy. when his friend staIlings got
command Of the Braves. Tenney became
regular caller at the south end grounds he
would sit on the bench with the players
during games and work out with them In
morning practice for the sake OF exercise
Then he volunteered his services 10 STALL
ings as an aid in developing the young
players II George could use him Stallings
assigned Teuney to Schmidt
Thought Schmidt Too Old
Take him and show him how 20 do
things and you viii be helping me more
than you possibly could in any other way"
said Stallings.
Tenney thought Schmidt was too old to
learn any more-27 IS a pretty ripe age for
ball player-and he also baked because
Of the apparent natural physical clumsiness
OF the gigantic German He wanted Stall
ings 10 give. him somebody else TO make
