The Steamer Bay State
Is Slowly Breaking Up

Portland, Me-, Oct. 24.-The Bay
State is breaking up on her seaward
side. although when viewed from the
shore there is little apparent change In
her position, except that the steamer
is rather 'lop, sided." looking as II the
under parts were disappearing from
underneath by reason Of the more OF
less heavy seas that have been pound
ing her for the past few days. 1t Is
thought that from now on the steamer
will break up a little more every day
until some. fine day she goes all in q
heap, and then the metal work will be
secured without the necessity Of paying
good money to men to break her ur
to get it. .

John Kinley Tener. former profess
sional ball player. ex-Congrossman,
former Governor of Pennsylvania and
now president OF the National League,
will receive the congratulations OF the
magnates some of them-on his
ifty-third birthday. President Tener
was born July 25, 1863, in County Ty-
rome, ireland, which makes him in
eligible for the presidency Of the
United States, but as the executive
head of the National League he has
almost as many worries and respon-
sibilities as the occupant, Of the
White House What with warning
magnates, fractions players, critical
scribes. belligerent fans and Johnny
Evers, President Tener earns his S25,-
600 a year.
There is world of difference be-
tween the jobs held by Tener and
Johnson. Byron Bancroft is dicta-
tor. an autocrat, star He doesn't
claim to rule by divine right. but the
result is the same. He has been hold
ing down his job ever since his league
was started. and none Of the mag
mates of the young major circuit have
ever dared to even think of deposing
him Anybody who would suggest
such a thing would be branded a
nihilist and sent to Sahara or Siberia,
or wherever It is that Emperor Ban
I. sends political prisoners
II is true that when the National
League moguls offered the presidency
TO Mr.. Tener they gave him a con-
tract for four years. They did it,
however. in the same spirit that the
sovereign voters gave to DR.. Wood
row Wilson a contract covering a sim
| liar period. They reserved the right
to criticise, knock and asperse their
chief in any way they might see fit OF
unfit. The National League is a de-
mocracy Of the aristocracy, just like
ancient Greece and Rome and what
is permissible for the patrician mag
mates is taboo to the player slaves. as
Johnny Evers has learned to his sor-
row.
Although he has had his troubles
such as drove President Pulliam to
suicide-President Tener hasn't suf-
fered perceptibly from the strain in
cident TO his exalted job. II may be
that his six and a half feet of manly
physique doesn't radiate quite sc
much good cheer as in the days when
he was kissing the babies and passing
about Hibernian Establishments and
Wheeling cigars to their parents
seeking election to Congress or the
governorship OF the grand old State
of William Penn but neither Is he

GENERAL SPORT |
Tener, as National League Head,
Has Accomplished ManyReforms

Tener's tenure of Office the National
League was conducted pretty much as
Mexico has been in the last four
years. The Maderos and Huertas and
villas and Carranzas and Zapatas OF
the circuit split up into little cliques
and waged almost constant warfare
on each other. The selection Of Gov
ernor Tener as president marked the
beginning Of a period Of comparative
peace internally, although the Fed
eral League war gave the new chief
tain and the club owners plenty to
think about.
The ousting of Charles Webb Muir
ply from the league removed one
lively bone of contention. 1t is un-
derstood that this is merely a figure
of speech. for Charles Webb Murphy
certainly was not a bone" above the
ears, but one of the shrewdest mag
mates the league has ever had. At
the same time he enjoyed a wide un-
popularity, and his passing helped to
clear the National League situation.
President Tener has fostered sew
eral pieces OF baseball legislation
which have helped to put the game on
better and firmer foundation, and
he has accomplished by indirect and
diplomatic methods several reforms
which Ban Johnson has put through
by imperial fat Mr.. Tener's long ex-
perience in the political game. his
personal knowledge of how it feels to
be a big league player, and his Irish
gift OF CAB, have enabled him to make
his administration so far one Of the
most successful in the leagues long
history.
