UNLIMITED POWER
IN THE EVERS M|XUP
President Of National League. Can
Go as Far as He Likes and In
tends to Mete Out Justice

New York. Feb. 16.-Those who are
Of the opinion that Governor John K.
Tener. president of the National
League, is to be the goat in the
Evers fight have another guess. He
will be the leading actor in every
transaction in the future. In all that
he does the unanimous backing of the
National League owners as well as the
national commissioners is assured.
Not only was a vote of confidence
given President Tener by the mag
mates, but they gave him unlimited
powers to deal with Charles Murphy
and any others who, it is claimed,
want to lower the standard of the
game and are playing into the hands
OF the Federal League.
Last week Governor Tener's election
as president of the National League
was confirmed when he signed four
year ironclad contract, which also was
signed by an authorized representative
of each of the eight clubs. The Gov
ernors contract contains specific
clauses relating to his powers, which
are binding on each club member.
This news was not given out until yes
terday.
1t is known to be true that within
the last forty-eight hours Governor
Tener has received positive assurance
of support in whatever action he may
take in the case of the belligerent
Murphy from II. \. Hampstead, of the
New York club; C. H. Ebbets, of the
Brooklyn club; J. E. Gaffney, of Bos-
ton; W. F. Baker. of Philadelphia
Barney Dreyfuss. of Pittsburgh; S. P.
Britton, of st. Louis, and August Herr
mann. of Cincinnati.
Murphy will be notified in a few
days that he must pay a big cash
bonus to Evers. it is said, in the shape
Of damages. If he refuses to abide by
the decision of the directors. as he
threatens to do, he will be placed on
trial before the league by Governor
Tener, 1t Is reported, and drastic ac-
ton will result
The National Leagues resolution,
adopted in November. 1912, to the
effect that a representative of club
who fails to live up to the principles
Of sportsmanship or conducts his
affairs to the detriment of the other
club owners. will be excluded from
the leagues councils, will be the basis
for Murphys trial, so the story goes.

Plank Turns Down
This Years Contract
Special to The Telegraph

Philadelphia, Feb. 16.-Failure to
land a minor league ownership, and
due to his desire to become bene-
dict and settle down to farm life, Ed
die Plank sent back his contract to
Connie Mack on Saturday, unsigned.
That an effort will be made to bring
him out of this retirement is assured,
as Manager Mack desires the services
of the pitcher who helped him win five
American League pennants and three
worlds championships for Philadel-
phia, to tutor the young twirlers of
the team of worlds champions.
Just how successful Manager Mack
will be in bringing the finger who won
the last worlds title game of the SER
les for the Athletics last year from his
Gettysburg farm to again don a Mack
! uniform at Shibe park is a matter
of much speculation.
There is no change in the Plank
situation" said Connie Mack last
night. 81 think, however, Plank will
be with us when we start for Jackson
Vile. IL he decides to quit his place
| on the Athletics and go elsewhere,
then | wish him the best luck in the
! world. I haven't word to say against
| him."

In Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh,' to
which Mrs. Fiske returns whenever

of a new playwright and made her
first appearance in broad comedy
