last year in office as governor of the
state that he was called back to the
national game, in which he was a
star number of years previous.
Governor Tener's re-entry into
baseball was the occasion of much
celebration and one of his first off,
cial acts was to preside at the ban
quet given at New York in honor of
the leagues fortieth birthday. He
entered upon the presidency at a
time when the affairs of the league
were in rather a chaotic state. He
succeeded in welding the club presi-
dents into a harmonious body and as
such they with the American Leag-
ers, successfully fought the Federal
League, which at that time was de-
ms ding recognition.
-. Tener has been considered a
most successful baseball leader and
even those who may hold some per-
sonal animosity toward him were
quick to realize that it would be a
great mistake not to seek the re-
election of Mr.. Tener as president of
the league. With the wartime con-
ditions prevailing and the future of
baseball rather undecided, it was felt
that man of Mr.. Tener's experience
and judgment was needed to pilot the
National League through the next
few years at least. Mr.. Tener, it is
said, willingly accepted reelection to
the office. feeling sure that he will
be given the same undivided support
ir the future as he has been accorded
in the past.
