Governor Tener of Pennsylvania
states that he hag agreed to accept the
presidency of the National League of
Baseball Clubs for a term of four years.
He has been assured of the unani

him at the state capitol. while the oth-

"I regard the matter as all settled."
supplemented Charles II. Ebbets.
'. The committee, which was composed
of William F. Baker (spokesman) of
Philadelphia, Harry N. Hempstead of
New York, Charles H. Ebbets of Brook
lyn and H. Ackerland. with the proxj
of Charles W. Murphy of Chicago, vis
ited Governor Teuer at Harrisburg.
After their prospective leader had
treated the magnates to an auto ride
and luncheon the principals got down
to business. Mr. Baker assured Gov
ernor Tener a unanimous election be
fore the principals began to talk terms.
The conference lasted about four
hours. At if conclusion no one would
talk for publication further than to say
that negotiations had progressed very
favorably.
A rumor that the Nationals were
ready to grant a five years' term at
$25,000 per could not be verified. It is
believed that the governor and the
committee may arrange all details dur
ing the trip to Philadelphia.
A rather significant hint was dropped
by the governor's secretary, Walter II.
Gaithers, who said there was nothing
to prevent his chief from holding both
the governorship and the league presi
dency. This, combined with the fact that
the governor declared he would neither
resign his present position nor give
his undivided attention to the National
league if he should accept the presi
dency, would indicate that the Nation
al league magnates wish him to as
sume office immediately after the term
of Thomas J. Lynch expires.
John Kinley Tenor was born in Ty
rone. Ireland. In 1SC3. He came to
this country when a boy and settled
in Pittsburgh, where he was educated
in the public schools. His first em
ployment was as a clerk. His health
soon broke down, and upon the ad
vice of physicians he bought outdoor
employment. While working as a clerk
he had earned $5 a game pitching for
local teams on Saturday afternoons
and had gained considerable fame as
a player.
In 18S5 Tener secured his first pro
fessional engagement as first base
man of the Pittsburgh club. At that
time he stood six feet three inches and
weighed 200 pounds. He was releas
ed before the season was half over and
joined the Baltimore club.
At his own request he was released
to the Haverhill (Mass.) club, where
he played until the close of the season.
He again secured a position with a
business house in Pittsburgh, but con
tinued to play baseball at every op
portunity. '
Captain Anson offered Tener a posi
tion as pitcher on the Chicago White
Stockings after having chanced to
stroll into the small park where Tener
was twirling. After playing on the
Chicago team for about three years
Tener went wirti Anson's team on the
tour around the world in 18SS-89.
Tenor gave up baseball to go into
business at Chnrleroi. Pa.

ADOPT OUR METHODS
VISITING ATHLETICS STUDY AM
ERICAN IDEAS
NEW YORK, Dec. 12. The team of
30 picked gymnasts of Stockholm's
gymnastic society who are just con
cluding an American tour will carry
abroad some more American ideas
and methods pertaining to athletics.
The visit of the Swedes and of Ger
man and Austrian athletic envoys to
this country during the last few
months has brought to light more
than ever before the importance
which the European athletes are at
taching to American methods.
While the Swedish gymnasts came
here primarily to display their own
physical perfection, they have made
it a point to study all-around athletics
here. The Swedes, who finished a
close second to the United States at
Stockholm last year, believe that with
more specialization in athletics -they
will prove a greater factor than even
during the next Olympic games at
Berlin in 1916.
SQUAD SELECTED
PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 12 Man

ketball team, announces that the
line-up of the big team will be made

Loughlin club some time next week at
the winged "M" gymnasium.
Prospects for a strong aggregation
were never brighter ,and with pros
pective games against all of the best
collegiate teams in the northwest, in
addition to the best of the independ
ent quintets, there will be more ac
tivity in this branch of sport than for
a number of years.

Baking Powder
CHEFS
PREF
Those who have had "cakes ruined by jarring the
stove, slamming the oven door or a heavy footstep, may
have wondered how the dining car chef can turn out such
marvelous biscuits, hot breads and pastry when his oven
is being incessantly jarred and jolted and shaken by the
motion of the train.
To get pastry to raise and stay raised under these con
ditions, a baking powder must be used that continues to give off
its leavening gas that sustains the raise until the dough is
baked through. " .
Dining Car Chefs have found a baking powder exactly suited
to their needs in K C and you will find it just as well suited to
your requirements. K C is really a blend of two oaking powders,
one active as soon as moistened, the other requiring both mois
ture and heat to start thegeneration of leavening gas. Nomatter
how moist and rich you make your cake, K C Baking Powder will
sustain the raise until a crust is formed and all danger of falling
is past
,
K C Baking Powder is pure and healthful. It is guaranteed
under all pure food laws, and is guaranteed to please you. And it
is sold at a reasonable price no baking powder should sell for more.
