Retirement Sequel to His Re
fusal to Serve longer on
the National Com
mission. New York. Aug. 6. The resigna
tion of John K. Tener at president of
the National league was received here
today at National league headquar-
UIn 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
food reason familiar to each of you.
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 com
mission under the circumstances.
John Kinley Tener was the eighth
president of the National base ball
league. He was chosen executive of
ficer in December, 1913, and the con
stitution of the league was amended
so that his term of office was extend
ed to four years. In December, 1917,
he was re-elected for one year with
the understanding that ,he could de
vote a great deal of his time to a new
commercial enterprise, of which he
had just assumed control.
In 1913 when he was first elected to
direct the affairs of the older major
circuit, Mr. Tener was governor of
tehnsylvania and his term of office
in the gubernatorial chair was not
completed until 1915.

I like the way you stand up at the
plate." ,

McAvoy;
Davidson Finds "Future"
In Base Ball vs. Trenches
Claude Davidson, the young in
fielder who quit Connie Mack be
cause, he said, there seemed to be no
future in base ball for a person ot
his high attainments, seems to have
found his "future" in the game after
all. He's playing with a team in the
Ship Yard league. Looks like Mr.
Davidson, feared his "future" might
be in the trenches.
Work or Fight is
Hard Blow to Umpires
In all the talk about what's to hap
pen when base ball shuts down, no
body seems to have mentioned the
umpires or their future. They are
too old to fight and too lazy to work.
Nobody would give them jobs any
way. It's a very distressing outlook
for them.

Mother Saves Her
Infant Child as Car
Is Struck by Trolley
Clutching her S-months-old babe
tightly, Mrs. R. J. Long undoubtedly
saved the child's life as the automo
bile in which she and her husband
and Mrs. Burt Smith, 3316 Ruggles
street, were riding was struck by an
Ames avenue street car. The auto
mobile was turned over three times.
All of the occupants fell clear of the
car and beyond a few bruises and
sprains none of the party was in
jured. Mrs. Smith's chauffeur, Gilbert
Penn, colored, says that he saw the
Ames avenue street car coming. In
his attempt to avoid a small boy in
the middle of the street, he says, he
was forced to the collision.
The rolling auto struck Victor John
son, 3184 Larimore street, who had
just alighted from a westbound street
car.
Penn, the chauffeur, was the most
seriously injured of the party. Both
of his knees were bruised and Police
Surgeons Drew and Johnson ordered
him taken to the Lord Lister hos
pital. Both of Johnson's knees were
lacerated. Mrs. Smith's right ankle
and her left shoulder suffered slight
contusions.
The street car was in charge of Con
ductor II. Smith and Motorman S.
Goodrich. Bystanders said that it
was goini? at a high rate of speed.
