TENER EORESEES s PROSPERITY FOR

E Business and financial conditions
 are returning to proper standards,
 according to President J. K Tener of
 the National League, who is making
 a circuit trip for the express purpose
 4of inspecting the plants of the league
 and to see players and umpires in ac- ton. When MT. Tener spoke about
 Business conditions he had in mind the present status of the national
 pastime, which apparently has been on a decline in the matter of public interest this season. 1t is the opin- ion of Tener and many other base ball noguIs that the war of nations
 and the war of baseball magnates, the latter due to the tactics of the
 Federal League. have been primarily responsible for the poor attendance at
 baseball contests all over the coun-
 try. However, the outlook is exceed
 ingly right for a-feturn to }satisfac- tory con q i4Ionss
 The close and exciting ce n the National League has aroused many fanas from their state of discontent in. the national game. Tener firmly believes the game has come book into it's own and will steadily continue in it's return ito popular favor notwith- standing any obstacle that might be Ebllilt by tie Independent sorganiza- ton! The head Of the National League says that in his opinion Gin lscinnati is the only town that has mot returned to normal size in attend ance The chief reason advanced is that the team rests securely in bot tom place and has had to contend with Weather of the InfaYorab1e brand. MT. Tener points with pride to the race for the pennant in his I league Its cIoseness nd the frequent shifting of teams following a game r or1 two show how evenly Balanced are lstfle different aggregations and how earnest they are in the struggle for t1915 pennant honors and participa- i ti on j n a worlds series lsF The seT;sIe1s slap ef {: Ioresidents Tener sat the Federal Leagn $ eduction in

 Whether this reduction would have an effect upon the attendance at Ma
