GOVERNOR TENER
BASEBALL MOSES
Pennsy Executive Dominat-
ing Figure in Game
Today.
(By Frank G. Mcnkc.)

New York, Sept. 24.-John X. Tcner
has proven to be second Moses. He
has led the National league from out
of the state of quarrels, pickering
and dissolution to the promised
Md of good fortune, peace and har-
MOny.
Tener today is the dominating figure
in baseball. What Tener says goes,
whether his utterance concerns mere
ly his own league or the National
baseball commission, the governing
body of organized baseball. Magnates
of not only the National league but
of the American and the minor leagues
as we'll follow Tener's lead and fol-
low it blindly, if occasion demand.
They have confidence in his judgment,
his leadership and his fairness.
Tener still is governor of the state
of Pennsylvania. That job expires on
December 81. Holding two jobs at
one and the same time is mighty
task, but Tener has been equal to
the occasion.
During the past year the National
league has passed through the Sec
ond great crisis of it's history. The
Federal league has beena menace. 1t
threatened to disrupt many of the
teams of the old leagues. A few false
moves here and there and the Nation
al league would have been dealt ter
rife blow. But Tener, arriving bit
late on the scene took charge of the
situation and saw to it that no false
moves were made.
Tener, at times, permitted himself
to be quoted concerning his views on
the Federal league, but in none of his
interviews did he jeer at the new or
ganization. He made no flighty pre-
dictions, loosencd ne scathing re-
marks. He stated simply, quietly,
that he recognized the Federals as
competitors. He didn't call them
"jokes" or "fly-by-nights." He didn't
spool them. At the start of the sea-
son he said that it was fight which
the fans woald decide. Just recently
he said that. in his opinion the fans
had decided in favor of organized
baseball.
Because the fans have decided in
our favor, | see no reason why we
should compromise with the FEEDER
ais" he said.
Tener is big man physically,
standing something over six feet six
inches, but he is even a bigger man
mentally, morally and as a leader
There is about him, as stated in our
views concerning him when he assum-
ed the job of prexy of the National
league, a something that begets con-
fdence. He seems to exude power
and honesty. He is square and clean
but firm. He won't stand for bam-
boozling. He won't be bullied and he
! doesn't bully.

This Is Opinion of British
Infantrymen Who Were
in Bayonet Charge.
DON'T MIND BULLETS
Prussians Charge in Rain Of Bullets,
But Turn and Flee When
They Face Bayonet
Wall.
(By Robert Elston)

London, Sept, 24.-ThlS Srlmly
humorous story of British bayonet
charge in which the Germans were
stabbed in the back, was related by
wounded soldier JUST back from
Northern France:
"They can stand fire, can those
Germans. We were picking them Off
like winking, and still they came on.
.'Then, when they got within shout
ing distance, we received the word to
charge Our officer was Splinter,
but we were out of the trench and
heeling after him fall of us shouting.
'The Germans seemed struck They
just stood and gstsped as we came
chasing down, their mouths wide open
as if they were v ondering what the
blazes We were UP to.
when we we're, within twenty or
thirty yards OF til en- there was an
alteration. They knew then what we
wanted, and they just threw down
their rifles, turned about and set the
pace. Some OF them, as they went.

even tried to pull off their tunics!
but we had 'em. l never knew I
could run before, NOR the other chaps,
and we picked the blighters in the
back by the score.
when We got winded we came
back the same way, and it was So;
they were lying on their faces, bayon-
eted in the back"
A corporal and two privates OF the
Black Watch, all wounded, who have
Just arrived in London from the front
were surrounded by "a crowd OF adj
mirers and loudly cheered.
Two were wounded i'll the hands
and the third IN the legs and have
been invaded home for period
''the shorter the sweeter," they re-
marked, as they are all very keen to
get back to the fighting line.
All spoke derisively OF the Ger
man infantry fire. Il would let a

ment.
1t was at Mons that the Black

1--WE stuck there popping off the
Germans as fast as we could, and
all around us the German shells were
bursting. And in the thick of it all
we we're singing Harry LADDERS
latest.
"Aye, laddie," he added, it was
grand, all around us were the dead
and dying, and every now and then
the German shells would burst and as
we peppered away at 'em we sang
about 'Roamin' in the gloamin' and
The Lass of Killiecrankie."
"At times the odds at three hundred
yards were not three to one, but
twenty-five to one.'
A lance corporal OF the Connaught
Rangers stated:
"This disconcertfhg thing in battles
nowadays is that you may be fight
ing for hours On end and never as
much as see an enemy to graphic
with.
1--WE lay for ten hours in the
trenches last Saturday with rifle fire
dropping around us like raindrops in
heavy shower The roar OF the
guns was always there, like the
thunder you can hear in a big stom,
and you could see one long line OF
little white puffs of smoke away Oh
the horizon every time the Germans
fired. Beyond that you couldn't see
anything, and it was only an odd
sting in the arm or leg, or head from
bullet that made you realize that
you were in battle.
It's big test OF mems fitness

with that for a whole day without los

set eyes on German, although we
were under fire all the time.
after that we saw them more fire.

did, we we're continually harassed by

MORE TROUBLE FOR KAISER.
He Contracted Severe Cold Visiting
Soldiers in Trenches.

London, Sept PA dispatch from
Geneva says the kaiser, who has been
visiting his soldiers in the trenches
near Vardun, caught a severe cold in
his chest and returned to his tent
staked with rain.
A doctor, writing from Rhemis to
his family at Basic, says that the
cathedral at Rheims is lost forever
adding that white flag floated over
it until the end of the bombardment
when the tower was destroyed. AT
least sixty shells pierced the cathed-
raj, where no guns were stationed
the nearest cannon being quarter OF
a mile distant. Many French officials
wept on seeing the destruction Of the
cathedral.

real WORK AT
HIGH BEGINS
Forty Lads Working For
Places on Football Team
and Working Hard.

More than forty candidates for the
High School football team reported
to Coach Bassett yesterday. From
this number the coach will select a
team to represent the high school for
the coming season. For the last three
years Pine Bluff has had a winning
team, and with such a large number
to pick from this year, prospects are
looming up very bright.
The squad is lighter but with speed
and enthusiasm the team that will
represent the high school this season
bids to be the best. With three full
squads to work with and a new ath-
letic field to play on the boys are
going to do their best to have WIN
ner.
The practise SO far has been con-
fined to the rudimentary parts of the
game. The material is inexperienced
and must be taught the game. Every
boy is anxious to do his part no mat
ter how difficult the work. The coach
finds that to keep three squads work
ing he must have some help. Jeff
Allen, star end of the 1912 team, has
volunteered to help the coach, and
with the assistance of some of the
former stars the team will have a
chance to develop rapidly.
Failing on the ball, running up
punts, tackling, passing and a trot
around the field, has been the work
out for the past week. Yesterday the
coach lined up two teams for a short
scrlmmage just to get a line On his
new material. Both squads showed
up well far so early in the season.
Bays. Mccain, Williams, Collins,
Hamlin, Toney and Perdue worked in
the back field and show promise to
become stars. The line positions are
going to be the most difficult to fill,
but with so many to pick from and
every one working hard the coach
should worry.
Big Mcintyre seems TO be the pick
for cented. A number Of boys are
trying for the ends Christopher,
Cross, Niven, Dansby, Smizer, Hard
ing are all fast and are going to have
pretty race for these places. Harper
Quinn, Clark, Hallock, Schlemer,
Adams, Haynes, Albright, Sage Mead
and number of others are all trying,
for the line All of them are big
huskies and are showing up we'll. The
third squad is light but full of nerve.
In few days the schedule will be
completed and everything will be
ready for the opening game.

"The way the Germans sacrifice

impression is appalling. One posi-

it was dominated by Il battery which
we couldn't locate, was advanced
against by the German infantry,
under heavy fire. They came On in
one long nerve-ending stream, while
our rifle and gun fire tore hideous
gaps through their ranks.
THE Red Cross men say that in
front OF that position alone sixteen
hundred dead and wounded were
picked up after the fight was over.
Our loss was not more than twenty OF
all ranks.
what we are all wondering is how
long the Germans can keep up this

cause the horses shied at the heaps or
