TENER ELECTED PRESIDENT Of National League to Succeed Thomas J. Lynch—Deposed Leader Says Tener is “Right Man” and Advises Magnates to Help Rather Than Hinder lfresident——Term Made Four Years. - s s New York, Dec. 9.—John K. Tener governor of Pennsylvania, was this afternoon elected president of the Na- tlonal League of Professional Baseball clubs to succeed Thomas J. Lynch. Before electing a president, the magnates voted unanimously -to change the by-laws, extending the president’s term from one to four years. ‘With the election of Governor Tener the meeting adjourned until noon to- morrow. It was announced that Gov- ernor Tener would be on hand at to- morrow’s meeting. New Board of Directors, John A. Heydler was re-elected sec- retary for two years. A new board of directors was chosen as follows: Bar- ney Dreyfuss, Pittsburgh; Charles H. TEhbbetts, Brooklyn; Harry Hempstead, New York; Charles W. Murphy, Chi- cago and August Herrman, Cincinnati. Except for the selection of the new P dent all the important problems which confront -the National league went over until tomorrow. These in- clude the demands of the Baseball Players’ Fraternity, a new plan for drafting plavers which would favor second division clubs, the attitude of the outlaw Iederal league and the appointment of schedule and rule com- milttees, There was no dissenting voice the election of CGovernor Tener, who will continue in his present office un- til the expiration of his term as gov- ernor in Januar, 1915. It is under- stood that Governor Tener’s salary will be $25,000 a year as president of the league. Thomas J. Lynch, retiring president according to an unconfirmed report, will be retained by the league as chief umpire, Owners, presidents. scouts of major and managers and nor league clubs gathered in hotel lobb all day to talle trade and ot} gossip., The minor organization representatives were on hand in hope of geiting big league players who might be released. Chief among the pending deals discussed was that of Tir sought by reral major teams, includ- ing Brooklyn, Philadelphia and Pitts- burgh. Announcement was made that Fen- way park, the home of the Boston Americans, would be the playing fleld of the National feam until the com- pletion of the Braves new park. New York Awarded Pennant, At its meeting today the league for- mally awarded the 1913 pennam to the New York club and voted $100 with which to purchsse a pennant. The Baseball Writers' association at a meeting disc d rules and methods of handling stories. It was voted that any man regularly employed in writ- ing accounts of professional games would be eligible to membership. Timothy Murnane, president of the New England leagne, and one of the oldest baseball writers in the country, was among the members present. Joseph Jackson of the Detroit Jour- nal was reelected presidept and Wil- liam Wert of the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph secretary and treasurer. The writers discussed the moot ques- tion of the “Cinginnati base hit” and decided to submit it to a mail vote of the members. A recommendation as to how the hit shall be scored will be made to the league at a later date. In a parting statement delivered t- members of the National league Presi- dent Lynch suggested that they ac- quire themselves some of the dignity which they expected Governor Tener to bring to the league. “In choosing your next president you have gone on record as wanting a man who will lend dignity and prestige to the league,” reads Mr. Lynch’s state- ment. “In your selection of Governor Tener you have the right man; but T hope that you will inject some of that dignity expected of him into yourselves and be a help instead of a hindrancs to him. 5 “In leaving this office I want you to know that there is no ill feeling on my part. I wish the National league and its new president all the success in the world.” SAYS ATHLETICS HAVE NOT DESERTED. President Fultz Denies Report That Philadelphia Had Left Fraternity. New York, Dec. 9.—President David L. Fultz of the Baseball Players’ Fra- ternity issued a statement tonight de- nving the report that the Philalelphnia Athletics as a team or as individuals had deserted the fraternity, Fultz said: “Contrary to the report circulated today that the Athletics had deserted the fraternity, I can say without the slightest danger of contradiction that there have been no defections from our organization from any source. We have known all along just where the Ath- letics stand, and their attitude today is just the same as it has been for months. wur petition, being the only team out of the thirty in the fraternity which did not do so, but their failure was dne to the preoccupation incident to a suc- cessful pennant fight and a world's series, and not to any hostility to our requests. “The report that they opposed our petition because they had no grievance and did not want to appear in a hos- thle attitude toward Mr. Mack por- trays them in a very selfish light, as though utterly callous to the hardships of others. I think that this statement is exceedingly unfair to them, and in view of Mr. Mack's attitude is so illog- ical as to brand it untrue on its face. Mr. Mack has already expressed him- upon the petition as antagonistic to him in any sense; it is therefore quite apparent that his players couid have no cause to do so. ‘“To those who understand the situa- tion, the report coming at this time is somewhat significant. We have ex- pected for a long time attempts of this kind to lessen the strength of our fraternity, and months ago the players were well warned against them. should not be surprised to see this re- port denied by the Philadelphia play- ers themselves, thereby turning it into another boomerang.” Levinsky Outpoints Jim Fiynn. New York, Dec. 9.—In a fast ten round bout here tonight, Battling Lev- { Insky outpointed Jim Flynn of Pueblo, to whom he conceded twenty pounds in weight. and the others to Levinsky. Only once during the bout did Flynn appear to have an advantage when with a blow to the right ear he sent Levinsky to his knees. Flynn weighed in at 187 pounds and Levinsky 167.

The National league fielding aver- ages for the season of 1913 show a number of changes in the standing of players as compared with the records of the previous year. Konetchy of St. Louis moved from fourth to first place, his average as a first baseman being .995, while Jake Daubert of Brooklyn, who led the league in 1912, dropped to second place, four points below Konetchy. Among the second basemen Miller Huggins of St. Louis with .977 ousted Hgan.of Cincinnati, | whose record of .972 was one point less than that of a year ago. John Lobert of Philadelphia, second among the third basemen in 1912, was ranked first this season, with 874. Joe Tinker of Cincinnati wrested first place short- stop honors from Honus Wagner of Pittsburgh, his percentage being .968 against Wagner's .962. Leach Leads Fieiders. Tommy Leach of Chicago leads the outfielders with .990 for 129 games, al- though Booen of Pittsburgh s the technical leader with 1.000 per cent. for twenty-two games. Leach showed a big improvement over his 1912 per- formance, gaining twelve points in percentage, although playing thirty- two ®more games this year. Grover Alexander of Philadelphia is given first place among the fielding pitchers of the league with a perfect percentage for forty-seven games. Fromme, Cin- cinnati and New York, Rixey, Phila- phia, Crandall, New Yark, McQuillan, Pittsburgh, and Burk, St, Louis, are all in the 1.000 per cent. class with Alexander, although pitching a number of games less than he did. .

Middletown, Conn., Dec. 9.—Manager Francis B. Upham, Jr., of the Wesleyan university football team announced to- night that Wesleyan has declined to meet Yale on the gridiron next fali. Since 1399 Yale has always opened the season at New Hayen. An invitation | was extended to Wesleyan again this | year, Manager Upham said, but. owing | to the fact that the game was too hard | on the' Wesleyan players for the flrs(i of the season, it was deemed advisable to_decline the invitation. Mr. Upham explained that the Yale players, with the advantage of several | Wweels’ practice, were in much better | physical condition for the initial ga.me.I with the result that Wesleyan's play- ers, with only a few days’ practice, were often serfously injured. Tw- years ago Captain Mitchell of Wesley- an was hurt in the Yale game and was unable to play footpall again. The crippling of good men proved a | hardship on Wesleyan and the red ani | black was unable to have its best men in the game for the local college’s im- portant games. Yale has played football with Wes- | leyan more times than any other col- | lege, the series starting back in 1883. Forty games have been played in all Yale scoring 185 points to Wesleyan’ 12. Wesleyan has never beaten or tied Yale, and has scored in only three ol | NO PLANS ANNOUNCED. | Governor Tener Talks on Value of the National Game.

I} prefer rather to work out these ideas| than to announce them at this time. | “I anticipate only the most pleasan: relations between Mr. Johnson of the | American league and myself when we | consider Lusiness before the national | commission, since both of us will al-| ways be primarily of one mind, that is, to maintain the high standard of baseball in consldering controversies | which may come before the commi: sion for settlement, and to render de- cisions impartially.” TWELVE TEAMS BUNCHED. Kopsky-Keefe Team 8 Laps Behind— | 8harp Sprinting Tuesday Night. New TYork, Dec. 9.—Twelve teams had stood the test of two ddys’ steady riding and were tied for the lead in the six day bicycle race in Madison Square Garden at midnight tonight. Trailing farthest behind was the Kop- sky-Keefe combination, which in a serlés of sprints starting shortly be- fore 11 o'clock tonight was lapped no | less than five times. Added to their previous losses, this put them eight laps behind the leaders. The newdy | formed Clarke-Grenda team, by its handicap under the rules, was still | a lap to the rear of the leading dozen, | while the Corry-Walker team, formed | yesterday, was under similar eonditions | the same distance to the. rear. ‘At| midnight the leading teams had trav- eled 1,000 miles and nine laps and were two miles ahead.of the record. The evening’s sprints were about the most thrilling of the race so fan, Bobby Walthour started the scramble, catching the others napping and get- ting nearly half a lap ahead in a jiffy. He held that lead for many rounds of the track before Breton of the French team caught him. The French- man at this point bade fair to lap the ed up the field and things settled down n.

Everyone has been guilty of it at some time. There are other characteristics equally ab- surd to. which the average man I3 suscepiible. An allenist may have some logical explanation for this men- tal defect, but whatever the cause fo such inconsistency, the effect is very apparent when the thought is agplied to the majority of automobilists. Whyl will 2 man jnvestigate the quality of & car before he buys it, and immediate- ly proceed to abuse and neglect it af- ter he has bought it?” _ That question is as generally truc as the preceding one, and calls at- tention to an inconsistency quite as pronounced. It touches on one of the basic problems of the automobile in- dustry. It also calls attention to @ human weakness to which every hon- est man will plead guilty—thought- lessness in the expenditure of money for pleasure. The man who instals cost systems in his factory, or the ono who makes the greatest effort to pre- vent waste in his business, is just as likely to be the most extravagant and improvident in the care and opern.tlonn of his automobile. Every motor cas dealer is the victim of the gross negli- gence displayed by most motorists, and the complaints of the men wno sell cars are justified by the facts. A man will buy a car, and in his enthusiasm, after getting it, he wil ovérlook the fact that an automobile fs necessarily a delicate piece of machinery, which requiries care and intelligent attention. He will run hia machine over rough roads in all kinds of weather, and then expect it to re- main in good condition without gei- ting the required quantity of oil or the inspection necessary for discovering the ill effects of abusive use. The av- erage motorist is not a mechanical expert, nor is it necessary that he should be, but if he expects to get the wires may help, considerably to main- tain good electrical contact, for the soft coating is easily scraped clean by the screwing down of fasteners and there is a good ‘bedding-down” action. The tinning can be accomplished by rubbing the terminals with any solder- ing fiux and dipping them into solder, Rubber tubing connections between the gas tank and the headlights should be of the best zrade of ma- terial obtainable whenever the rubber dries out and begins to reveal tiny cracks around the conmections. This percaution will save considerable gas in the course of a year's running. Detroit has her croakers like every other city, but a careful canvass of the leading automobile manufactories showed that t(here were more men employed in the month of November 1918, than in November, 1912, and in some cases the output has been much more than in the same month of 1913, [}f a nut is obstinate and will not yield to the wrench, or if the wrench is not a good fit, it is far better to re- move the nut with a hammer and a blunt chisel or a punch than to spoil the wrench. It is a much er matter to get a new nut than a new wrench if the nut is spoiled. Terminal screws on the magnete should be tightened periodically, If they became loosened a certain amount of reeistance is apt to be in- troduced in the connection, which is apt to apsorb an extra amount of cur- rent and so cut down the efficiency of the system.

In view of the simplicity of adjust- ing the resonant hum out of the rear axles of cars that are a year or so out of date, it is a little bit surprising that so many owners put up with the trou- ble. In the majority of cases the trouble can be cured with a wrench in about two shakes of the proverbial ram’s tail Also In the majority of cases the maker of the axle, or his agent, glady will make the adjustment without cost—which merely goes to prove how really simple the job is. A ball valve seating that is leaky can be made perfectly tight again bv the simple proces of tapping the bal into the seat until the pressure makes a perfect joint. Of course, if the ball is of brass this iz impracticable, as the ball would be as easily affected as the seat; but with a steel ball and a ng of softer metal it is & simple matter. If the ball is corroded or im- perfect a new one can be substituted, ang if it does not seat exactly right It sea depends on his great control for offectiveness against the National league hitters.
