TENER QUITS AS
n. |. PRESIDENT
Feud With Johnson Over
Scott-Perry Case Prompts
Resignation
VETERAN PLAYED
WITH POP ANSON

John Kinley Tener yesterday resign
ed as president Of the National League.
In letter TO the eight club presidents
Mr.. Tener declared that the National
Leagues relations with the American
might be served best by his stepping
out Of oflce. Ever since the Philadel-
phia American League club, with the
backing Of Ban johnson. refused TO
abide by the National Commissions de-
cision which sent Scott Perry from
the Athletics 10 the Boston Nationals.
Mr.. Tener has refused to sit on the
commission In any matters involving
the American League.
The National Leagues decision 10
play the worlds series made it neces-
sary that It's president take part In
the National Commissions delibera-
tions anent that event. Rather than
change HIS original decision. and In
order not 10 embarrass the National
League, Mr.. Tener saw ut 10 offer his
resignation. The league will hold
special meeting within a few days to
act on the matter. Mr.. Tener insists
that the resignation be accepted. so It
looks as II The league will have TO
choose a new head.
Mr.. Tener's action was prompted not
alone by his baseball relations, but by
the fact that he Is a very busy man.
He offered his resignation to the
league last December, but the owners
refused 10 accept II and consented to
permit Mr.. Tener TO give only part OF
his team time to the leagues affairs.
10 is that old resignation that Mr..
Tener wants the owners to accept.
In a letter, addressed to all the club
presidents in the league, Mr.. Tener
said
Having declined TO serve further on
the National Commission for the good
reason familiar to each Of you, / must
ask that my resignation as your presl-
dent, rendered last December, be now
accepted.
II am prompted TO take this courss
out OF consideration OF the presenA
situation and that you may more
speedily soleot my successor, who WILL
II you desire, serve on the commission
under the circumstances"
Mr.. Tener Is the eighth president OF
the National League He was elected In
December. 1913. and the constitution
OF the le0gue was amended so that his
term Of office was extended to four
years. In December, 1917, no was re-
elected for one year, with the unedr-
standing that he could devote a great
deal Of his time TO new commercial
enterprise, Of which he had just as
sumed control.
In 1919. when he was FIRST selected to
direct the affairs OF the older major
circuit, Mr.. Tener was Governor OF
and his term Of office in
the gubernatoraial chair was not com /
pleted until 1915. During his last mr. |
teen months as Governor. Mr. Tener
Evening journal., 1918-08-07

kept in close touch with the interets
or the National League, but IL was not
until the beginning Of the 1915 season
that he was able TO devote his entire
time and energies to the leagues af-
fairs.
Mr.. Tener, who was born in Ireland
on July %, 1868, came to America when
quite young and settled at Pittsburgh,
where he was educated, and found his
first employment and later held re-
sponsible positions in manufacturing
firms there.
While at school Mr.. Tener learned
how to play baseball and made his first
appearance as professional pitcher In
the old New England League, with
Wllbert Robinson, now manager OF the
Brooklyn Nationals, as his catcher. In
1888 his ability attracted the attention
Of Capt. Anson, who brought Mr.. Tener
TO the Chicago Nationals.
He played two seasons with Chicago,
winning seven out Of twelve games the
first year and being credited with four
teen winning and two tied games out
Of twenty-five the next season. He
was a member OF the A. @. Spaldlng
team, which made the original around
the world trip in 1889. and in addition
acted as treasurer OF the party. Mr.
Tener cast his lot with the Players
League Club Of Pittsburgh the follow
ing year, but after the collapse Of the
Brotherhood he decided 70 abandon
baseball.
Mr.. Tener became cashier Of the
First National Bank OF Charlerol, Pa
in 1901, and later was made president
Of that institution, a position he re
talns today, in addition to being a d.
rector in several financial and COM
mercial concerns in New York and
Pennsylvania. In 1907 he was elected
to Congress on the Republican ticket, |
and three years later was elected |
Governor Of Pennsylvania.
