A CALL DOWN
National League President
Tell Chicago Boss Evers Has
Been Treated Unfairly
PLAYERS AS WELL As
OWNERS HAVE RIGHTS
BY Hal sHERIDAN.
CWritten for the United Press

A0Nllloh AOi Nuo lhliVi AAtHosl
NEW YORK, Feb. 14-President
Tener, Of the National League, today
sent valentine to c. Webb Murphy,
Of Chicago, IN the shape Of a call
down, only slightly disguised as a
general interview, on the turbulent
situation arising over the Evers ar
fair.
THE day has passed" said Tener,
when any one man can say This Is
my club and I'll run it as / please
and do as / please Baseball is to
be conducted in the National League
for the good OF the league, and club
owners will be held to their response
bilitles just as players are held to
theirs on the field'
After explaining that only the de-
tails of the Evers matter remain TO
be ironed out, Tener was asked II the
Chicago club is to be reimbursed for
the "loss" of Evers.
THE National League took up the
matter of Eyers' contract" said
Iener, "and we decided that Chicago
had vioated its contract. This cer-
tainly indicates that the Chicago club
could not expect to be rewarded for
It's actions"
But will Mr.. Murphy be punish
ed?" the reporters persisted.
"As to Furnishing Chicago, said
| Tener, smiling as he said Chicago"
1T might be said that whatever is
done will be done for the good Of
organized baseball and the Chicago
I club therefore will reap the benefits
Of the action even though It should
protest.
"If a player should violate a con-
tract, the club owner would expect
him to be punished. and In the same
manner the National League will
hold the club owner responsible fol-
the fulfllment Of his contract Will
} the player"
When asked regarding Murphy

his plan to give Sweeney aud Perdu'
for Evers. Tener said: 81 have told
Mr.. Murphy TO his face what ! thini
of him and that proposition. That
all have to say about it,
"What do you think of Murphy
: threat to sue Ban Johnson for con
spiracy and libel?" was asked.
ooh, that's merely foolish" scotc
/, Tener MY political friends and rival
could all be sued for conspiracy and libe

That the Levy Court has not carried

more for a copy but he came
back with the statement that n
/ would get permission OF the
Levy Court he would send me a
copy. However, after a hurried
reading of the report. the only
conclusion that l could reach was
that Washington street bridge IS
not safe by any means and the
Levy Court has not carried out
the instructions Of the engineer
Reading between the lines OF
this report gathered that Mr..
Greiner considered the bridge
unsafe for the travel upon It In 1912
and he recommended that certain
definite steps be taken. Instead
of leaving this 10 local men,
however, he distinctly stated that
proposals should be received
from competent contracting
firms for this work. He also
stated that in the event of great

this bridge Il should be closed to

inforced with concrete, or a new
bridge built
The above is my reading OF
that report II any Of the mem-
