Decision A. of A But Received Draw at Armory Dundee got Frankie (Young Britt) of New Bedford in the feature bout at the Armory A. A., Boston, last night. The two boys started out like whirl- winds with Britt doing most of the leading and the scoring as well. The second saw Dundee start to assert himself, while in the third Dundee floored Britt for the count of nine, and piled up such a heavy lead that hopes of a Dundee knockout faded. A right-hand swing to the jaw toppled Britt, and after the latte had regained his feet Dundee kept after him with a volley of short hard swings that had Britt hanging on in a dazed fashion when the gong sounded. In the following session Britt came back strong, shaded his opponent as he did in the fifth, sixth and seventh. But after that Dundee had clearly the better of the milling. Dundee hit rder than Britt though the latter was his superior infighting.

B. Johnson of the American{ league over the Scott Perry ca sulted yesterday in the resignation of Mr. Tener from the National leaguey He has served at the head of the oldex major league organization De< 10, 1913, hay not Secretary John A. probably serve as president until the annual election off the body here in the fall. The successor re-| since cember His successor been named, Heydler will but naming of Governor will undoubtedly result in another squabble between the cluly owners. The logical man for the placa Secretary Heydler, but the leagug failed to name him after he had served out the unfinished term of the lata Harry C. Pulllam in 1909. When President Tener refused serve on the national commission un< less the American league decided tof abide by the awarding of Player Scot{ Perry to the Boston Braves, it was a foregone conclusion that the Nationaf league president would step downy Perry is now with the Philadelphia ‘Athletics, and when the national com- mission awarded him to Boston, Maf- ager Mack got out an injunction straining the National league fromj taking the ple This was the firsg time since the creation of the national commission that its verdict had ever been appealed ta the courts. When Prestdent Tener threw down the gauntlet to Johnson by refusing| to serve on the commission unless the| Athletics gave up Perry, he expected! that his club owners would stand be- hind him. Instead, some of themy sided with Johnson, and a disruption in the National league ranks resulted. As it stands today, the league is in & very topsy-turvy condition In his letter of resigna s received at National league head< wrters yesterday, President Tener said, among other things “Having declined to serve furtherf on the national commission for the good reason familiar to each of you, I must ask that my resignation as your ident, tendered last December, ba epted. I am prompted to take thig course out of consideration of tha present situation and that you may more speedily successor, wha if you desire, serve on the com- on under the circumstances.” It was while he was governor o Pennsylvania that Tener was electe National league t succeed Thomas J. Lynch of New Britain, Conn. Until his term as gov- ernor expired, Secretary Heydler was really acting president of the league and President Tener took charge +in the following year. Under his r gime, the tional league went' through one of its most -perilous stages successfully and after a long and bitter fight organized baseball bought out the outlaw Federal league 4 It is stated by baseball men that itj was this compromise in the Federal league war which first started the differences between Tener and John= * son. The American league head did not want to compromise and wanted to fight the Federal league to a finish. Early in the year the breach between: the leagues grew larger when John- son was credited with many state- ments concerning the exemption of the baseball players from military service. The National league took just the opposite position to John- son and advised its players to go into the national service. The Scotf Perry case was simply a culminationf of a storm which had been brewing between the league for a long time On account of extensive business interests, President Tener resigned last December, but the owners per- suaded him to serve. He consented only with the understanding that hig baseball duties would not interfere with his business interests. Since last December Secretary Heydler hay been doing much of the work of the league executive, although President Tener outlined all matters of policy and served on the commission. Governor Tener is now the head of a large highway building corporation and will devote all his time to thig busine The resignation of Mr. Tener prob= marks general shakeup in professional baseball. In the Ameri« can league there is much opposition to President Johnson, especially from Owners Comiskey of the White Sox and H. H. Frazee of the Boston dq Sox.
