Acts to End Middle
In National Board
Refused to Sit on Commission After Perry Decision
Opens Way for League to Appoint New
Man to Triumvirate

The resignation of John X. Tener as
president of the National Baseball
League was received here yesterday at
National League headquarters.
In a letter, addressed to all the club
presidents in the National League,
President Tener said:
Having declined to serve further on
the National Commission for the good
reason familiar to each of you, I must
ask that my resignation as your presi-
dent. rendered last December be now ac-
cepted.
Il am prompted to take this course out
of consideration of the present situation
and that you may more speedily select my
successor. who WILL if you desire, serve on
the commission under the circumstances.
The resignation of President Tener
will clear up the involved situation in
the National Commission and expedite
the work of that organization in pre-
pairing for the proposed worlds series,
scheduled to begin September or 4.
After the decision of the Philadel-
phia American League Club to carry
the case of Pitcher Scott Perry to the
civil courts when the National Com
mission awarded his services to the
Eoston Nationals, Mr. Tener announced
he would no longer serve as member
of that body.
The National League bylaws and con-
stltutlon made no provision for any
New-York tribune., 1918-08-07

ganization in December. 1918, and the
constitution of the league was amended
so that his term of Office was extended
TO four years. In December, 1917, he
was reelected for one year, with the
understanding that he could devote a
great deal of his time to a new COM
mercial enterprise Of which he had
just assumed control.
In 1918, when he was first selected
20 direct the affairs of the older ma jor
circuit, Mr. Tener was Governor OF
Pennsylvania, and his term of Office
in the gubernatoral chair was not
completed until 1915. During his last
fifteen months as Governor Mr.. Tener
kept in close touch with the interests
of the National League, but it 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 25, 1868, came to America when
quite young and settled at Pittsburgh
where he was educated and found his
first employment and later held respon
sible positions in manufacturing firms
there.
While at school Tener learned how
to play baseball, and made his first ap-
pearance as a professional pitcher in
the old New England League, with Will
bur Robinson, now manager of the
Brooklyn Nationals, as his catcher. In
1883 his ability in the box attracted the
