President Tener OF the National
league also startled his club owners by
informing them he has accepted n
position as president OF the present
highways corporation and that he
would give practically his entire time
to that company's business. Tener
informed the league that II it saw
fit TO retain him on the understanding
that he will give what time to the
league he can spare from his other
business, he would continue. but only
on the understanding that he would
only be called upon TO make decisions
upon questions of Importance.
Tener's statement caused quite a lit
tie establishment and the club owners
agreed 1s his terms. At his own re
quest he was reelected for only one
year Secretary Treasurer Heydler,
who will attend to all the routine mat
ters connected with the presidents
task, was reelected for a period of
four years
we were astonishcd at Tener's
statement that he had become presi-
dent of another corporation said

pected to re-elect him president for
a long term. We were not prepared
for anything like II. and at first were
dumbfounded. We had no inkiiug of
it.
The National league unanimously
voted to hold a meeting with the
American league as soon as the pres
ent meeting was over.
President Tener and Herman were
asked 10 get in communication with
the American league, and arranged o

Blacksburg Va, Dec. 1.-THE
Blacksburg High school girls basket
ball team continued its march to the
state championship by defeating de-
cisiyely the Front Royal High school
team by score of 80 to 2. Claiming
the cham pionship of Shenandoah val
ley for the last four years, the Front
Royal girls came to BlacksburR con-
iident of annexing a victory, but a
glance at the score is sufficient proof
that the game was a complete rout.
The work of the Blacksburg guards
WAS the outstanding feature of the
game. Miss Pritchard and Miss
Groseclose were veritabie tigers on
the defense. and only once did the
Front Royal girls break through and
that was late in the game when those
two sterling guards were beginning
to ease up In their play after their
midget forwards had rolled up an
even thirty points.
Much credit must go TO the two
eepters Miss Campbell and Miss
Faulkner The former outjumped her
opponent at practically every toss and
the latter followed the ball fast and
fed her forwards continually. The
work of the forwards. Misc Hoge and
Miss Kessler. was up to their usual
standard. For Front Royal Miss Ho6-
man stood the brunt OF the work and
played 3 fast floor game. The sum-
mary follows
