John Heydler.

New York.-NationaI league crit
les are wondering if the moguls of
that circuit will have the nerve to
overlook John Heydler when they
choose a president next winter to
succeed John X. Tener.
Heydler has been secretary, Off
Cially, of the league for several
years. AS a matter of fact, though,
he has been the real head. John
X. Tener never would have been
chosen president while governor of
Pennsylvania if the magnates hadn't
known that Heydler was capable of
doing. and would do, most of the
work of running the circuit.

for the job.
