TENER PROBABLY LIBERAL WITH PLAYERS. Now National League Head Expected Not to Frown on Demands of Fra- ternity, New York, Dec. 10.—The National league baseball club owners in annual session here deferred settlement of any of the problems facing them today un- til they could learn the views of their newly elected president, Governor John K. Tener, of Pennsylvania, whose ad- dress on the occasion of his installa- tion early this afternoon contained an assurance that he would work to put the national game on a higher plane than ever during the four years of his term. Chief among the issues the league faces is the one involving the 17\de- mands of the Baseball Players’ frater- nity. This matter, it is expeeted, will come up in executive session tomor- row. After the formal ceremony of inducting Governor Tener into the presidency, the magnates adjourned FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL NARROW MOVEMENT. Tone of Market Improves, But Re- mains Uncertain. New York, ‘There were & few weak spots in today's stock mar- ket. but the general movement was narrow. The tone, while uncertain. was better than in yesterday’'s session. Liquidation such as upset the marke. on the preceding day was in muca smaller volume, and there were evi- dences of more confident buying, espe- clally of the standard investment stocks. The improved tone induced shorts to take the profit shown in had declined sharply, and covering operations caused a number of sharp upturns, At the opening the whole list eased ¢ E off. New en equalled its low rec- ord of 71 1-2 and New York Central touched 91 1-4, the bottom price for five years. Canadien Pacific broke three points. These declines were soon halted, however, and the market rai- lied. Thereafter movements were in- consequential, and the close of the im- portant stocks showed only slignt changes in most cases. Mexican ~ Petroleum dropped six points and the preferred nearly as much on the report that the directors had passed the dividend on the pre- ferred. Rock Island issues and West. ern Maryland were exceptionally heavy. The improving tendency of the mar- ket in the latter part of the day was ribed in part to the unexpectediy »d_showing made in United States Steel's monthly statement of unfilled tcnoige. A shrinkage of 117,000 tons was reported, but it was much smaller han had been looked for, and Steel moved up. following the appearance of the statement. The amount of unfilled orders at the first of the month was tne smallest in two vears and repre- sented the eloventh successive monthly deeone Foreign selling influenced the marke: for a time. London disposed of about 12,000 es here. Another factor with which the market had to contend the continued firmness of money. were renewed at 5 1-2 per against 5 yesterday, and time ates were higher.

It was pointed out, however, that as a figure in professional baseball years ago Mr. Tener was secretary of the old Broth- erhood which revolted and set up for itself. Somie of his friends declared his polloy towards the players would be one of giving them more freedom than they enjoy at present and that most of the owners follow him in this and other respects in response to his plea in ~his inaugural address today for harmonious co-operation. It was believed tonight that the Na- tional league would take no official notlce of the Federal league. Severai club owners are in favor of a policy of ignoring the outlaw organization alto- gether except to resort to legal means to prevent players from jumping con- tragts, Several magnates claimed to- day that no players had informed them that they had agreed to quit the Na- tional league if the players’ demands were not granted; they Dprofessed to place no credence in reports of whole- sale defections emanating from Feder- al league quarters. Tinker Worth $25,000. The Tinker trade still held fire to- night. President Charles H. Ebbets of the Brooklyn club during the day re- peated his $25,000 offer for the Cincin- nat! shortstop. The Philadelphia club, it was said, was willing to give up Doolan and a pitcher—Chalmers, May- er or Brennan—for Tinker. August Herrmann, president of the Cincinnati club, wanted Doolan and a pitcher, but none of the three offered; he wanted Rixey or another twirler. The possibility that Roger Bresna- han, the Chicago catcher, would be the Cincinnatl team’s next manager was apparently disposed of in a long tele- phone conversation between arry Ackerland, representing the Chicago club here, and Manager John Evers. It was said that Evers refused to con- sent to give Bresnahan and Corriden for Tinker. Becretary John B. Foster of the New York club and President Schuyler Britton and Manager Miller Huggins of the St. Louis club were in confer- ence this afternoon. The reported sub- ject of their talk was a deal which would bring Konetchy and Magee here in exchange for Merkle, Snodgrass and Herzog. Herzog was quoted as saying he would refuse to play with any western club. The New York American league club today announced the purchase of Les ter Channell, outfielder, from Denver of the Western league. Channell while playing with the Yankees several years ago broke a leg sliding into a base and was released later. The New York and New Jersey league, orgenized last spring, held its first annual meeting here today and voted to adopt the name of Eastern | formally | league. Long Branch was awarded the 1918 pennant. The organ- ization will be expanded to include eight clubs. Paterson, N. J.,, was glv- en a franchise, and either South Noc- walk, Conn.,, or Perth Amboy, N. I, will complete the circuit. R. M. Cox, mayor of Middletown, N. Y., was re- | elected president. 'CHICAGO DECLINES HARVARD'S INVITATION. Does Not Wish fo Play Outside the Western Gonference. Chicago, Dee, 10.—The University of Chicago, through its board of physical culture and athletics, today declined to meet Harvard in a football game next year. The board expressed apprecia- tion at the invitation for a game al Cambridge, but decided that it was not advisable to schedule games With teams outside the “Big Nine.” A statement given out affer the board’s meeting said: “The University of Chicago has re- celved an invitation to play a football gamo with Harvard university in Cam- bridge next autumn. At a meeting to- day of the board of physical cuiture and athletics appreciation of the invi tation from Harvard was expressed. In the opinion of the board, however, it is not at present advisable for the University of Chicago to schedule football games out of the western con- ference, and especially at so consider- able a distance.” The decision is in line with the spirit of the conference as informally ex- pressed here at the faculty meeting | last week, when scheduling of inter- sectional games was declared not de- sirable. In this connection it was| learned today that the proposal for an intensectional post-season basketball season, which the conference declined to sanction, was made by the eastera association. SENIORS ELECT ATHLETES For Class Officers at Harvard—Cap- tain Storer First Marshal. Cambridge, Mass., Dec. 10.—Athletes fared better than scholars in the elec- tion of class officers by the seniors at Harvard college tonight. Robert T. P. Storer of Boston, cap- tain of the football team, was chosen first marshal; Quentin 'Reynolds of Montelair, N.' J., captain of the crew, second marshal; Lewis K.

J., was the | cholce for odist, and Albert F. Pick- ernell of Englewood, N. J., won the honor of election as chorister. Curtis and Potter were the only Phi Beta Kappa men chosen. AHEAD OF RECORD. Efforts of Trailers to Catch Field Fur- nish Excitement in Long Grind. New York, Dec, 10.—Ffforts of teams behind the leadérs to make up lost ground furnished excitement at the six day bicycle race in Madison Square Garden and guickened the pace of the field to such an extent that at 11 oclock tonight the foremost riders were 14 miles and 6 laps ahead of the record. They had then ridden 1,441 miles and 2 laps, Grenda, the spesdy Australian, start- od one of the fasiest sprints of the night and had gained a quarter of the lap his team needed to match the leaders before the fleld work up, but Jackie Clarke, his partner, who had doing some hard riding previous- ly, seemed a bit slow in coming to Qrenda’s aid and after three u‘s: ‘:g been reeled off at speed limit gave up the effort, 2 The ,iendqr! at 11 p. m. were"ihe Root-McNamara, Drobach-Halstead, Verri-Brocco, Hill-Ryan, Goullett-Fog: ler, Perchicot-Breton, Collins-Walthour and Magin-Lawrence teams. A lap behind were the Appelhans-Packebusk, Anderson-Hansen, Carman-Cameron, Mitten-Thomas and Clarke-Grenda combinations. Corry and Walker had made 1,441 miles and Kopsky and Keefe 1,436 miles, 2 Gibbons Puts Away Ferns.
