(The New York World), Gov. Tener ‘Made Good’ in His First Move To o Restore Confidence i in. Major Le League New Lender of Watlon of Nationals Earned |i his First Year’s Salary When He Eliminated Murphy From Baseball. By Bozeman Bulger. HE most striking thing in con- nection with the ousting of Charley Murphy is that the tional League, after five years of ef- fort, has found the man who could turn the trick. Gov. Tener made up his mind tha, Murphy must go when he had his first talk with our chubby friend over the Evers case two weeks ago. It was the Governor who per- suaded Mr. Taft that it was to bis financial interest as well as the wel- fare of the league that he buy out Murphy's stock. An effort to get rid of him through the courts would have been disastrous to organized baseball throughout the country. The megnates had the elimination of Murphy in their minds when the first steps were | made toward getting Mr. Tener to accept the (rea reed of the league. “This fell @ menace to the game,” I heard the Governor say in the Waldorf—(it is violating no con- fidence now) such a policy he bas adopted can not be tolerated And, adhering to that belief and determination, the Governor turned the trick. If Mr. Tener is to get @ year, as reported, in this one, action he has already earned his first, geason’s pay. Thin year, however, he; is working for nothing.

Murphy asked in a jok- ing way if Hart would give him an option on the stock for two da: Previous to that Hart had given an option to Harry Pulliam which had been allowed to expire and he con- sented to Murphy's proposition, much to the latter's surprise.
