NEWS OF THE SPORTING WORLD
Gov. TENER Leaves EARLY
Turns Over Chair to Charles Ebbets for
a Time, but No More Busi-
ness Is Done

New York, Dec. 11.-Charles II. Eb-
bets, the squire of Flatbush, had the
honor of usurping the chair of the Ma
tlonal League while the magnates of
that institution closed the parting para
graphs of the business at their annual
meeting at the Waldorf Astoria yester-
day Governor Tener, hurriedly called
home, rendered the chair to G. Holiday.
There was very little business left
when President Tener resigned the
throne, and that little was disposed of
as laboriously as possible. The ques-
tlon before the house dealt with the
proposition of waivers. 1t has been
suggested that claims for release of
players might not be recalled when
once asked. No action was taken.
1t was agreed by the National mag
mates that the roster limit recently
adopted would not include uniformed
men not actively engaged in the game.
In other words, bench managers or lead
ers who do not appear regularly in the
real contests will not count. Nor will
coaches who take no active part in the
scheduled games.
The league went on record as op-
posed to any change in. the prevailing
conditions of the worlds series. Nine
games were. considered too unwieldy.
1T was decided that the clubs be allowed
to carry their present rosters UP to May
l, next, when every one will have to
come within the limit Of twenty one
men.

BAKERS CONTRACT FIRM
st, Louis Federals Hear That Athletic S
~ Contract Holds-Slugger
AZ Tried to Jump

st. Louis, Mo-, Dec. 11.-Federal
League officials were advised by their
attorneys here yesterday that the con-
tract of Frank Baker with the Athletic
Club is binding.
+, The st. Louis Club Immediately mott
fed Baker that the deal whereby he
was to come to the Terriers is off. Baker
applied for job with the st. Louis
Feds some time ago. He said at the
time he would jump whatever his con-
tract, as he believed if Mack asked
waivers on him or traded him his con
tract became void. He had been told
this by attorneys and the st. Louis
officials also were so advised. They
told Baker they would take no chance
of law suit and had the contract in
vestigated by their own lawyers, with
yesterdays result.
Jimmy Austin, of the Browns, or
Hans Lobert, of the Quakers, is now
being sought to fill the hole at third
for st. Louis.
81 Manager Fielder Jones wired the of
ffcials yesterday that he had notified the
Baltimore Club he would not exercise
his option of Chief Bender, under pro-
yiso that Baltimore does not oppose
his taking certain pitcher he wants
when the player is signed. This was
agreed to.

die Plank will be no longer star ON
the Athletic baseball team Adams coun-
ty fans will not lose interest in that

ME next year, according to the latest
report.
Myers has been with the Raleigh
team, for the past two years and as
early as last August the manager, Earl

part of his pennant race and had enough
twirlers without Myers.

feet inches in his stocking feet and
weighs 100 pounds and has the speed
of Bender. He pitched his first game
of ball on July a. 1911, for the York

In 1912 Myers made a great record
and after the close of the season ait

Shfbe Park for tryout and was signed
by Mack and sent to Raleigh in the
spring of 1913 where he has remained

Player Has Given Phillies First Chance
to Bid


= Philadelphia, Dec. 11.-"'Honus" :"
Lobert, of the Phillies, will meet Presi-
dent Baker to talk over contract
for next season. Lobert is the only
member of the Phillies who has not
signed for next year and he has given
the Phillies first bid on his services.
Lobert admitted last night that he
had been talking with agents of the
Federal League and that they told
him they were willing to talk business
with him as soon as he was ready. Lo-
bert has given his word to Baker that
he will not jump to the Feds until he
gives the Phillies owners a chance
to satisfy him with terms. The reports
that Lobert was to be traded TO the
New York Giants have not reached him
in any official manner, and when asked
if he would be willing 20 90 to the
Giants if Manager Moran arranged a
trade, 1Iobert declared that he would
like to be consulted about it first.
I0bert is anxious to remain in Phil
adelphia. He says no has been well
treated here, has made this his home
and would not like to play anywhere
else unless he was compelled to make
change himself.

HERZ0G SIGNS FOR 9 YEARS
Former Giant Gets Real Chance tt
Make Good in Cincinnati

New York, Dec. 11.-Charley Her
zog signed yesterday afternoon as
manager of the Cincinnati Reds for a
period of two seasons. August Herr
mann's announcement came as no sur
prise to the fraternity. President and
manager had practically agreed upon
terms at the close Of last season.
Hermann, who has been afflicted
with an excess of managers, decided to
give Maryland's canteloupe king real
chance to make good. Herzog for sew
eral weeks last year was the mana.
gerial sensation of the parent major
league. His club folded before mid
season. This perhaps was due to the
fact that the Redlegs suffered most
heavily from Federal League interfer-
ence. The club was robbed of no less
than eight of its stars.
The signing of Herzog completes the
complement Of National League mana
gers for 1915. Miller Higgins, of the
Cardinals, and Fred Clarke, Of tine
Pirates, while still unsigned, have ac-
eepted terms with their employers.
