John K. Tener. president of the Ma
tional League, at q meeting OF the
directors of his organization today,
issued a statement in which he
prophesied that public opinion would
be on the side of organized baseball
In case a war is waged by the Fed
eral League.
Asserting that the Federal League
attacks upon organized baseball have
been confined to two points, one that
the reserve clause was invalid and
the other that the parties to the ma
tional agreement are members of a
trust, Governor Tener voiced his
opinion that neither charge could be
considered seriously.
The proposed meeting of the Ma
tional Baseball Commission did not
take place today. partly owing to the
lengthy meeting of the National
League directors and partly to the
fact that Governor Tener had to
leave on an early afternoon train for
the east

Central has a quintet Of short-dis-
lance men that viii be prominent
contenders In the scholastic events.
Foremost Of these is John Brooks
Gardner, who finished third in the
sixty-yard event of the Junior na-
tfonal championships last Saturday
night in Brooklyn. Gardner. who
takes long time rounding into con
dition, has not yet developed into
top-notch form. It Is expected, how
ever, that he will be at his best bv
the last of the month, when the
scholastic championships are to be
contended. Charles opposite, the
junior sprinter, is getting stronger
daily, while Hal Engelberger, half
back of the football team; Wesselage
and Benatre are developing fairly
well.
Rubin, Schmitt, Bossett and Lewis
are the prominent candidates for the
relay, which will receive its first try
out at the Tabs games.

chiefly through this defect In play.
Barringer scored eight points on free
throws. which were Gagged by Boden-

Baker Wants Press Agents.

When PRESIDENT BAKER, OF the
Phillies, went to Cincinnati last Mon
day to attend the National Commits
sion meeting he also went for the
purpose of urging upon the National
Leaguers the institution of a most
progressive program that includes
everything that will push the Ma
tional League to the fore, especially
the employment of representative
press agents for each club.
This move of President Baker was
decided upon after he had learned
from an authoritative source that
one of the real objects of the Federal
League magnates is to push the Ma
tional League out of business or
place the clubs of the National
League in such straits as either to
force It into third place or force the
National League magnates into such
a dire position that they will be
willing to compromise and give the
Federal League magnates control of
at least four of the National League
franchises. One of the officers of the
Phillies acknowledged these stories
to be true.
President Baker has learned from
an authoritative source that the Fed
erals will conf1ne their raids almost
entirely to National League players"
said this officer. "They do not pro-
pose to attempt to raid the American
League, and will not take an Ameri-
can League player unless that player
makes application for a position.
They feel that the National League
is the weaker organ and they feel
that with the proper show of money
they can force a compromise and get
into regular league ball."
