Tener Resigns From National League Tendered Resignation in Letter Tuesday as Result of Scott to Owners of Clubs in League Perry Case Being Taken From National Commission to Civil Courts—Resignation Will Clear Up Situation—No Successor Appointed Yet. New York, Aug. 6.—The resignation of John K. Tener as president of the National basehall league was received here today at National league head- quarters. In a letter addressed to all the club presidents in the National league President Tener said: “Having declined to serve further on the national commission, for the good reason familiar to each of you, I must ask that my resignation as your president tendered last Decem- ber. be now accepted. “I am prompted to take this course out of consideration of the present situation and that you may more speedily select my successor, who will, | if you desire. serve on the cornmission under the circumstances.” The resignation of President Tener will clear up the involved situation i the national commission and expedite the work of that organization in pre- paring for the proposed world series, scheduled to begin on Sept. 3 to 4. Following the Jjecision of the Philadel- phia American league club to carry the case of Pitcher Scott Perry to the civil courts affer the national commis- sien had finally awarded h ervices 10 the Boston Nationals, Mr. Tener announced he would no longer serve as a member of that body. The National league by-laws and constitution made no provision for any other person, aside from the president of the league, to serve on the national commission, and his refusal to act for the senirr league complicated ‘affairs a ta time when co-operation was es- sential. Barney Dreyfuss, president of the Pittsburgh club. represented the National league at the conference at | Cleveland on Saturday when was | decided to pla; the world series as in past years. As thic series is played under the control and direction of the national commission, it necessary that the latter drganization be represented, and since Tener refused absoiutely to have further dealings with the commission, it is assumed he felt that the accept- at tk ance of his resignation s time way for a more harmonious arrange- ment of the details for the proposed series, WAS EIGHTH PRESIDENT OF NATIONAL LEAGUE. Tener Came to This Country as Young Man and Has Had Steady Rise. New York, Auz. 6—John Kinley Tener was the eighth man to be elect- ed president of the National baseball league. He wis chosen as the execu- tive officer of that organization in De- cember, 1913, and the constitution of the league was amended so that his ferm of office wa tended to feur years. In December, 1917, he was re- electeq for one year w the under- standing that he could d deal of his time to a new enterprise of which sumed control. In 13813 when he was firat selected to direct the affairs of the older major vote a great commercial he had just as- | the field down circuit, Mr. Tener was governor of Pennsylvania, and his term of office in the gubernatorial chair was not completed until 1915. During his last fifteen months as governor Mr. Tener kept in ‘ciose touch with the interests of the National league, but it was not until the beginning of the 1915 season that he was able to devaze his entire time and energies to the league's af- fairs. Mr. Tener, who was born in Ireland on July 25, 1363, came to America while quite young and settled at Pittsburgh. While at school Tener learned how to play baseball and madec his first pearance as a_professional pitcher in the old New England league with Wilbur Robinsn, now manager of the Brooklyn Nationals, as his catcher, Mr. Tener is president of the First National bank of Charleroi, Pa., and a director in several financial and cem- mercial concerns 'in New York and Pennsylvania, GRAND CIRCUIT Two Outsiders Capture First Monies at North Randail. Cieveland, O., Aug. 6.—The Press Stake for 2,17 trotters, the feature of today’s Grand Circuit at North Ran- dall, went to The Royal Knight, which i had never won a race. Nev. ertheless, he was made favorite, The second favorite to reward his backers was Budlight, which captured the 2.11 pace in straight heats from Dan Hedgewood. Alma Forbes, third choice in the betting, had no trouble annexing the 2.13 trot.

New York, Auz. 6.—The stock mar- ket today reflected e more uncer- tain mood of professional operators, yesterday's late advance being partly cancelled. Traders apparently deemed it ad- visable to adopt a more conservative course in view of tie notice issued by the local federal reserve bank urging financia] institutions to conserve cred- its. On the surface this admonition was without material efiect, money rates | holding at recent quotations. It was generally believed, however, that time funds may soon be entirely withdrawn from the market for other than pro- ductive. purposes.

Independent Steels and the active equipments lost one to 1 1-2 points, shippings about as much and oils about one point, Rails were in the back ground un- til the final hour, when Reading and St. Paul developed moderate activity Sales amounted to 245,000 shares.

I "HE responsibility attached to the preparing of a remedy for infants and dlfldren is undoubtedly greater than that imposed upon the manufacturer of remedies for adults whose system is sufficiently strong to counteract, for a time at least, any. injurious drug. It is well to observe that Castoria is prepared today, as it has been. for the past 40 years, under the personal supervision of Mr. Chas. H. Fletcher. What have makers of imitations and substitutes at stake? What are thefr responsibilities ? To whom are they answerable? They spring up today, scatter their nefarious wares broadcast, and disappear tomorrow. : Could each mother see the painstaking care with which the prewripfio;g:m Fletcher’s Castoria is prepared : could they read the irnumerable grateful mothers, they would never listen to the subtle pleadings and false arguments of those who would offer an imitation of, or substitute for, the tried and true Fletcher's Castoria.

A Trapshooting tournament that was novel and, to say the least, unique, was recently conducted by the Edge- water Gun Club, of Toledo,” O. It was international affair in which 15 ions were represented, or in other words 15 o seas countries. glish together these days with in their hands without guns shooting each other undertakes a big task, but that is what the Toledo Gun Club did got ay with it in fine shape. Squads of five men represented each of these countries: England, Ger- many, France, Ireland, Hungary, Aus- tria, Italy, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, Russia, Greece, Scotland and China, and there was one delegation that didn’t have a flag. a Hebrew team. Don't overlook the mention of China having ‘a team in the cosmopolitan competition. Very few can reconcile a Chinaman with a gun, but the “chinks” were there. It was no doubt the first time a Chinese team ever ap- peared before the traps. The Celestials, all young men, were quick to learn the ways of the greatest American sport. The Chinese squad was on the pro- gram as the Mandarin Gun Squad, and was comprised of John Siew, Eaward Kota, Henry Yee, Henry Get and Lewis Quong. At 25 targets each their scores were: Siew, 14 broken; Get, 8; Yee and Quong, 7 each, and Kota, 6. They are members of the Edgewater Gun Club. As far as we could ascertain all the shooting was confined to the regulation attacks upon the “blue rocks,” but the spectators, if not the contestants, must now and then have had in mind the possibilities of an interchange of ho: tilities in imitation of the all-comers'’ grappel on the other side of the pond, but the influence of trapshooting is al- towards peace and good fellow- ship. The Edgewater Club in this many nationalities shoot provided an attrac- tion such as Americans never before witnessed, and drew an immense audi- ence, but the greatest thing they did was to demonstrate the fundamental democracy of America, and it may be that trapshooting will act always as a rallying point around which this demo- cracy may continually be exempli- fied. TANGEL VISITS. By W. H. Gocher. It is like an angel's visit when a cheap one makes good on the turf, still there has been a number of them among tke trotters and pacers al- though as a rule they cost consider- able before they are ready to take the word. But even as Campbell remarked these visits are “few and far between,” they are always welcome as was evi- denced by ‘the waves of applause ‘which swept through the grand stand at North Randall during the recent Grand Circuit meeting when Prince Loree wen the Tavern Stake with four horses _at $25,000 struggling behind him. Prince Loree was bred to be a race horse as his sire Prince McKinney is a son of McKinney out of that s . isplendid Baron Wilkes mare Ecstasy, that had a trotting record of 2:% and a pacing record of 2:10%, while his dam Deloree, 2:09%, was by the good race horse Delmarch out of Hindee, a daughter of the champion stallion All- erton and Bloree, 2:08%, by Axtell, an- other champion that sold for $105,000. Prince Loree was selected for a stake coit but after failing to make 5004 was, together with Lee Ax- worthy, traded for the trotter Sir| Thomas Lipton. While Andrews was preparing Lee Axworthy for a career during which he defeated Peter Scott and Peter Volo and reduced the stall- jon record to 1:58%, Prince Loree fell by the wayside and finally met with an accident which resulted in him being soid at auction for $50. A. C. Pennock bought him and by careful nursing put him on his feet again He was then sold to Captain Shaw, who drove him in 2:07% to iwagon last year, and now Prince Loree is tabbed as a Grand Circuit winner with a rec- ord of 2:06%. The sudden change in Prince Loree’s value recalls the greatest find in light harness racing, the celebrated plough colored like the breeder of the great race mare Sweet Marie, 2:02) to mate her with Tom Hal by offering to give him $50 for the foal when a year old which was the amount he claimed that he could get for a mule. Fry lived up to his agreement although he hesitated when he saw the colt, and after keeping him a year sold him to 1 colored man for $75 to do farm work. Finally Fry had to take him back in exchange for a $60 account. This was in 1878 and the following season Lit- tle Brown Jug was racing and in 1881 he reduced the world’s record to 2:11%. Brown Hal, the sire of Star Pointer, was his brother. ‘While Robert J. was favored with better surroundings than Little Brown Jug his breeder gave him away after shipping him back from a Cleveland sale where he was unable to find any- one who would make a bid on the little knee sprung gelding. The name of the new owner was Champ Brown of Williamsport, Pa. and he named the colt¥Robert J. after his breeder Robert J. Walker and while he bred many other horses this was the only one to find a place in the turf hall of 1 & {fame. After a little training Brown horse Captain Lewis. He flashed| i ried off to the races with Robert across the turf sky in 1882, winning |3 Dyring the meeting at Fleetwood ten races out of ten starts, the first heing made within thirty days after he was pulling a plough on his breed- | er's farm, and four of them at Grand Circuit meetings. In the spring -of that year Colonel Pearsons of Rochester, N. Y., was buying barley at Geneva, N. Y. A farmer drove up with a load and after selling it told the Colonel that the nigh horse “could go some.” The Colonel took a little drive behind him but decided not to tuy the country trotter at $175. A few weeks later A. H Tower of Lyons, N. Y., gave $300 for him to use in his livery stable. After driving him a few times he found that he had a |fast trotter. He started him in two {races at a local meetinz and won both Park in New York City, Geers saw him perform and persuaded C. J. Ham- lin to buy him. He made the name of Robert J. a household word _while thousands of people all over the-United States had the pleasure of seeing him perform in as splendid a series of jraces as were ever placed to the cred- it of any horse and during which he cut the world’s record from 2:04 to 2:01%. The above are only a few of the noted light harness performers that were sold for a trifle before they were developed. Flora Temple, Goldsmith Maid, Majolica, Jay Eye See, Maud S., Lucy and scores of others could . be added to this list that had practically no market value until the skill of. the of them. After this showing Captain |traimer put the “guinea stamp” on Lewis was sent to Rochester and | their rating in racing prospects. Horace Brown employed to drive him.

Captain Lewis’ turf ca- reer was closed by a veterinary oper- ating on one of his ankles which was injured by being caught in a mowing machine while he was working on the farm. Of all the cheap horses that made zood on the turf the pacer Little Brown Jug is entitled to the pennant as he not only proved a good race horse but also attracted attention to ithe Hal family which in addition to contributing a shoal of winners from Tennessee also gave to the world Star Pointer, the first horse to pace a mile below two minutes. Geers, when re- lating his experiences_with the trot- ters and pacers, tells how O. N. Fry of Moorestowa, Tenn. induced the owner of the John Netherland mare Lizzie (name unknown and possibly Mark Wright, world champion pole vaulter, has joined government service. ‘Wait until that boy starts to go over the top. Though he is the oldest first base- man in the National league, both in age and point of service. Hal Chase, of the Reds, still remains in a class by himseif. Hal is 35, and no youngster is in sight who threatens to shear him of his honors. He will return to the lineup soon. Young McAullie, the Bridgeport boxer. who was the first Connecticut ringster to enlist in the army. has been promoted to a corporal. “Mac” is stationed at Camp Rariden, N.
