President Tener of Nat. League
Predicts Public Opinion Will Go
To Side of Organized Baseball.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Jan. president
John X. Tener of the National League
at a meeting of the directors of his
organization here today, issued state
ment in which he predicted that pub
lie opinion would be on the side of
organized baseball in case a war is
waged by the Federal League. Point
ing out that the Federal League at
tacks upon organized baseball have
been confined to two points-that the
reserve clause was invalid, and that
the parties to the National agreement
are members of a trust-President Te-
ner voiced his opinion that neither
could be considered seriously. The
statement follows:
Baseball today owes its popularity
and very existence to organization.
Such organization alone has developed
and will preserve and perpetuate the
game to and for the American people.
Nevertheless organized baseball is be-
ing attacked today by those and those
only who desire to reap commercial
benefits thereby.
To-day, however, finds baseball more
completely and thoroughly organized
than ever and, therefore, better able to
withstand and combat the attacks that
are being made upon it. The Federal
League does not base its attacks upon
an allegation that the public has not
been given good, clean, high class
baseball or that the players have not
been fairly treated or paid good sala-
ries, but is endeavoring to induce
players to break their contracts and
seeks to excuse and Justify its conduct
upon two legal points. namely, the al
legged illegality of the reserve clause in
the players contracts and the general
statement that organized baseball con-
stitutes a trust. I mean by this that
the Federal League has officially an
nounced that it will test the reserve
clause in the courts and falling to JUS
tify it's contention of illegality, it will
then seek to have organized baseball
Investigated and dissolved.
But such a threatened war on or
ganized baseball begun by promoters
simply for financial gain and based
upon contracts on players takes no
heed or account of the sport-loving
public or the real welfare OF our ma
tional game; and l believe the disap-
proval of such war at the bar of
public opinion will count Iar more
against this movement and its promot-
ers than any technical decision in the
courts even though such courts should
again uphold the legality and equity
of the reserve clause.
'In point of fact it Is well known that
the legality of the form of contract be-
tween the league and players was attack
ed but it's validity in law and equity
was sustained by the supreme court in
Pennsylvania in the Lajoie case. With
respect to the allegation that either the
National or American League, or both
of them as parties to the National agree
ment are Illegal combinations or trusts
in restraint of trade or In violation OF
antitrust statutes it is difficult to take
such declarations seriously. Experience
has demonstrated that this national
agreement existing between and salts
factory to all leagues has done more to
place our national game foremost among

all outdoor sports the world over than
any other influence. Under the provis-
ions of this agreement the player has his
day in court and through the National
Commission and opportunity is given him
for fair, impartial and thorough hear
ing to the end that full justice may be
done him.
I'VE naturally. as sanctioned and sus-
tanned by our courts of justice, object
to players breaking their contracts, but
If the proposed Federal League will draw
it's supply from the growing field of
baseball players coming to the front ev-
cry year it will meet with no opposition
from US.
Speaking for the National League I
may add that we propose to continue our
policy of fafr dealing with our players
and with the public, and we have no
doubt that in so doing our actions will
meet with general appreciation"
The proposed meeting of the National
Baseball Commission did not take place
today owing partly to the lengthy meet
ing of the National League directors and
to leave on an early afternoon train for
the East.
When the announcement was made that
there would be no further meetings of
the commission at this session. both ma
jor and minor magnates hurriedly packed
their grips and left town.
The committee from the National AS
sociation of Professional Baseball
Leagues had hoped to take up several
matters with the commission concerning
legislation that was brought up at the
last meeting of the National Associa-
ton at Columbus. but this plan was
abandoned when Governor Tener left
town.
The National League meeting developed
little aside from the statement issued by
President Tener. The requests granted
to the Baseball Players Fraternity deal
entirely with contracts and necessitate
the. changing of the present contract in
several particulars. This was discussed
by the league magnates and it was an
nounced that the old contracts could be
signed until the new contracts are issued.
The new conditions to be inserted in the
new contracts, however, are binding upon
all clubs who have signed or who will
sign players to old contracts.

WOULD INVESTIGATE The
PUBLIC SCHOOL CONDITIONS.

New York, Jan. Mrs. ]. Borden
Hartman, the only woman member
of the newly created Industrial Rela-
tions Commission, outlined some of
the work the commission intends to
undertake in an address here last
night.
Mrs Hartman said that one of the
first movements of the new commits
sion would be to investigate thorough
ly the public school conditions
throughout the country. She said that
there was vast room for improvement
of conditions now existing and that
now is the psychological moment to
meet them.
Another branch will be, said Mrs
Hartman, to conduct investigations
into labor conditions. These will be
begun in the oyster canneries of
Maryland, where a number of the

In Borneo winged creatures are En-
countered where one would least ex-
pect them. Flying fish the size Of her
rings are found In all the waters, and
there is the flying fox, the well known
fruit eating bat. which the Malays call
"kruang" They may be seen almost
any evening winging their steady
flight often at a great elevation well
out Of range Of a shotgun. The flying
squirrels as evening twilight comes
are also seen. They glide down from
one lofty tree to the base Of another
up which they scramble to the level
they started from. Wide expansions
of skin between the fore and hind
limbs act in parachute fashion and
sustain them in their glide. They are
of some size. but are quite harmless.
The flying lizard Is seen in the heat Of
the day in the jungle gliding down
with fash in much the same manner
as the squirrel But he Is much small
er and 1t requires a quick eye to de
tect him. The natives kill him with O
