TENER OUT;
HEYDLER IN
If Wishes of Baseball Men Are
Considered Secretary Will
Succeed to Presidency

There are two candidates for the
job OF being president of the Ma
uonal League, now that John K.
Tener has resigned. The bulk of
baseball men are strong for Johnny
IeydleT. who has been secretary
for the National Commission and
mas more executive ability than all
the magnates rolled together. The
only other nominee mentioned is a
Mr.. Brown, of Louisville, who is
conspicuous every time the league
hiSh office is vacated. He is a close
friend of Garry Herrmann's and an
Elk with many antlers-good fell
low, no doubt, but with none of the
qualifications of Heydler.
John kinley Tener was the eighth
man to be elected president of the
National Baseball League. He was
chosen as the executive officer of
that organization 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 commercial
enterprise OF which he had Just
assumed control
In 1913. when he was first elected
70 direct the affairs of the older
major circuit, Mr. Tener was gov
ernor of Pennsylvania. and his term
Of office in the gubernatorial chair
was not completed until 1915. Dur
ing7 his last fifteen months as gov
ernor, Mr.. Tener kept in close touch
with the interests of the National
League, but II was not until the
beginning of the 1915 season that
he was able TO devote his entire time
and energies TO the leagues affairs.
Mr.. Tener was born in Ireland on
July 20. 1868. and came to America
when quite young and settled in
Pittsburgh. where he was educated
and found his first employment and
later held responsible positions IN
manufacturing firms there.
While at school Tener learned TO
play baseball. and made his first
appearance as professional pitcher
in the old New England League with
Wilbur Robinson. now manager Of
the Brooklyn Nationals. as his
catcher. In 1855 his ability in the
box attracted the attention of Cap
tain Anson, who brought Tener TO
the Chicago Nationals.

targets, while Ebert and Fauskee
broke is each. As a result of the
tie each pulled down s325.sO.
In winning the national champion
ship, Heer accomplished an unusual
feat. The westerner started out as
an amateur. but as soon as he be-
came a top-notcher he turned pro-
fessional. He was the high-average
shooter of the country in 1910 and
1913. having percentage of over 81
per cent
In 1915 he decided to turn anna
teur again; but, according to inter-
state trapshooting rules he had to
stay out of all Journeys for three
years. He abided by the rules. and

There is some discussion as to the

was the first to complete his string.
He broke 80 straight in his first TWO
