Among fhe BIeacherites Fair Hits and Foul Chatter Garnered From the National
 Pastime

And now comes John K. Tener, once nresident of the National league, who, being peeved at the action of Connie
 Mack and one National commission an
 nounces that he is through With or
 ganized baseball for good. Very good' John. We don't see how you got by as long as you did. While it's true that Mack was at fault in not turning Perry over to the Braves after the com
 rish" had thus awarded him. it's also true that by every rule of reason the Athletics manager was entitled to the former Atlanta twirler
 But regardless>of the merits or de- merits of this controversy, lawn should not have become "all filed up over if to the extent of tossing up the sponge. Anyhow the situation in re-
 gard to the worlds series is much re- lieyed now and as soon as "Jawn s' successor is appointed the machinery behind the big classic can get busy and complete arrangements.
 Neither Boston nor Cleveland weakened" a particle yesterday. al though the latter was forced to so 10 frames before gaining the decision over Clark Griffish's Senators. Grif is making his last stand in the present series with the Indians and unless his boys brace up and win two of the re- imaining three games it'll be all over as far as Washington is concerned Jim Bagby pitched magnificent game against Harper yesterday
 The Cubs are trusting no mistakes" in the National and are still in high gear They trounced old man Jack Coombs in the opening game of the series yesterday, while their rivals, the Giants, also won. Jimmy Ring lost his third game of the season against the Gothamites, being touched up for nine hits and four runs
 The Tanks continue their speedy
 slide down the soapy chutes and even
 Hank Robinson, the former Little Rock
 southpaw, was unable to stem the tide
 of defeat yesterday By the way no-
 body is paying them much attention

q am prompted to take this course out of consideration of the present sit uation 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 prepar- ing for the proposed world series, scheduled to begin on September or A. Following the decision of the fhil- adelphia American league club to car ry the case of Pitcher Scott Perry to the civil courts after the national com- ices to the Boston Nationals, MT. Tener ices to the Boston Nations. MT. Tener announced he would no longer serve as member of that body.
 The National league bylaws and constitution made no provision for any other person, aside from the president of the league, to serve on the national commission, and his refusal to act for the senior league complicated affairs at time when cooperation was es- sential
 As the world series is played under the control and direction of the na- tional commission, it is necessary that the latter again be represented and, since Tener refused absolutely to have further dealings with the commission, it is assumed he felt that the &C., ceptance of his resignation at this time would clear the situation and pave the way for a more harmonious ar engagement of the details for the pro- posed series.
 John Henley Tener was the eighth man to be elected president of the Ma tional baseball league. He was chosen as the executive officer of that or

TROTTING GOSSIP
By w. H. GoCHER

Last winter the owner of June Red peddled her all over the country and no one would buy her, as the majority of those who were looking for speed con- sioered her raced out. Finally he decided agement no one can catch her. She is now the big "ace," as she has four vii tories to show for four starts.
 The Boston Fair association has opened eight late closing events for it's grand circuit meeting the last week in Au- gust. All but one of the races are for trotters, the classes selected being free- fcr-all. POT, Ell. 2;15. and 3-year-old sweepstake with a selling condition as well as 2:24 and 2:14 classes for half mile performers. The 2:16 class is the oEy open event for pacers but a 2:04 class may be added.
 The Valentine remount station is get ting to be regular feature at grand circuit meetings. At Toledo, when it began to look as if Cox could not get all the speed that Verlie Patchen had on tap, the judges requested Charley Valentine to come to the rescue and he responded by defeating Peter Look. On the second day of the meeting at Colum- bus the judges also handed him the mount behind John Spencer, after that horse had lost three heats. Valentine promptly sent him to the front and won, making all of the 20 to 1 tickets good, to the delight of the field players. In this race, as at Toledo, Dick McMahon was second, his Columbus mount being Eva Ringen. X
 Stout Brothers shipped a section of their statle from Toledo to Monroe N. T., H.. ~vxskl n IL gelding, Lord Stotk. Sin 2:12A and Hank Stout, by Malcolm Forbes. in 2:15%.
 When Miss Harris M. paced in 1:5SA over the new track at Toledo, the frac- tional time for the mile was as follows: First quarter, 30 seconds: second quar- ter, 20 seconds; third quarter, 30 seconds, and fourth quarter. 29A Seconds. In this heat William led until near the seven eighths pole.
 The taou'ated pedigree of the Swear old colt. Hollyrood- Bob. 2:04s4. shows that he has a thoroughbred cross through both his sire and dam: Grand Sentinel. the sire of Peter the Great, being out of Maid of Lexington. whose dam was the thoroughbred mare Brownlock, by imported Leviathan, while Mystic. his fourth dam, is by Jonesboro. a son of Lexington and Alice Jones, by imported Glencoe.
 Whenever driver is seen digging into horse with whip on account of him making a mistake or false move that he cannot understand, someone should re- mind him of Byron's line: Good work men never quarrel with their tools.
 The pacer. Double G., will be held over for a trip drought the grand circuit next year. He worked mile in 2:07A, the last half in :0l, during the Toledo meeting.
 Fred Hyde won the s-year-old trot at Monroe, N. Y., last week with the Guy Axworthy lilly. Miriam Guy, in 2:l5, after losing heat to Lady Brook.

ganization in December, 1913. and the constitution of the league was amend .d so that his term of office extended to four years. In December. 1917, he was reelected for one year With tie understanding that he could devote q great deal of his time to new com mercial enterprise of which he had just assumed control.
 In 1913, when he was first elected to direct the affairs of the older ma jor circuit, Mir. Tener was <sovernor of Pennsylvania and his term of off, flee in the gubernatorial chair was not completed until 1915. During his last Is months as governor. Mir. Tener kept in close touch with the interests of the National league but it was not uii- til the beginning of the 1915 season that he was able to devote his entire time and energies to the leagues af- fairs.

On ten shots got 80 out of 80 on a
bulls-eye 6 inches across; and on 300
yards l got Al, making me 80 points,

On the 200 yards shot SO and on
the 800 yards got Al points giving
