JOHN K. TENER IS
NOW IN FULL CHARGE
Reports at Headquarters and
Hands Out Some Interesting
Facts

New York, Jan. 29.-John X. Tener,
formerly Governor of Pennsylvania,
to- day officially took charge of the ex-
ecutive offices of the National League
for the first time since he was elected
president, almost a year ago. He oc-
cupied the main seat in the local offices
of the parent baseball organization and
from it dscoursed on current happen
ingS in the national pastime.
Among the points brought out by
Mr. Tener were that August Hermann
was certain to be reelected chairman
of the National Commissions; that there
seemed little possibility that the COM
mission would be increased to four
members. which would give the minor
leagues a representative on the su-
preme court of baseball; that the play
ers now are given the benefit of the
doubt in all cases brought before the
commission: that there is no assur-
ance that minor leagues of AA classi-
flcation would be exempted from drafts
and that a D per cent. tax on baseball
would be an injustice to a public in
stitution already heavily taxed.
Mr.. Tener refused to comment upon
the action heard in Chicago recently
in connection with the Federal League.
He said he had perfect confidence in
Jduge Lands and was certain that the
United States judge would give a cor
rect verdict. Asked if a verdict for
the Federal League would be correct
Mr.. Tener said that he would accept
as correct and final any decision given
by Judge Lands.

TWO MORE TOWNS
FOR CENTRAL LEAGUE
Attendance Last Season Warrants
the Belief That a Larger Circuit
Will Show Profit

One baseball leagueAhat is not
worrying over injunctions these days
lis the Central Pennsylvania organiza-
ton. In four towns last summer.
Steelton, Highspire, Middletown and
New Cumberland, the game was a big
success; so much so, that the coming
season will find six clubs on the cir
cult.
The decision to take in two more
towns was reached at a meeting held
last night at Steelton. There are five
applicants for admission. The names
of the new towns, and those seeking
place in the Central league, will not
be made public until February Z, at
which time plans for next season will
be announced. Lebanon made appli-
cation, but was turned down. Frank
Stees the president of the league
was authorized to make inquiries and
report at the next meeting the names
of two towns offering best induce
ments.
Statistics presented by President
Stees showed that 23,9S3 persons paid
to see baseball in the Central league
last season. The average attendance
at the images was 604. The largest
crowd attending a game was on July
4 at HighSpire when 1878 persons paid
admission. The second largest was al
Steelton at the opening of the season
when 1,096 persons attended: The
average attendance at Middletown was
662.

Barrow, president of the International
Baseball League, issued this state
ment last night:
PLEASE deny for. me that the Inter
national League has any intention oil
going out of business now or at any
other time. The story published in an
evening paper to this effect is abso-
lutely untrue and without founda-
ton.
The International League is in the
field to stay, and it is ridiculous to
intimate that men like McCaffery and
Solman. of Toronto; Chaplin. of Ro-
chester; Lichtenheim, of Montreal; /;
Stein and Hart, of Buffalo; Lasnin. of
Providence. and Ebbets and McKeever
of Newark. all having thousands of
dollars invested, would lay down af-
