BASEBALL ENIGMAS
BY GOVERNOR TENER
Bunch From a Running Interview
With the National Leader in
the New York World
When Governor John K. Toner, the
National League president talks about
baseball, it is a safe bet that every
word he speaks will be read. Through
out the I'ntted States the impression
prevails that because Governor Tener
is in active baseball again, there will
be a new era in the history of the na
tional game.
In the magazine of the New York
World on Sunday, Governor Tener is
prominent in a lengthy Interview.
Here are a few epigrams bunched
from Governor Tener's statement:
"The American spirit Is typified by
the National wallop."
"Phrases taken from the language
of baseball enrich the vocabulary of
success. 'Making a hit' and "put
ting one over' are generally accepted
and widely popular forms of expres
sing accomplishments."
"Baseball, like the Constitution, fol
lows the flag. The impact of the wil
low against the horsehlde sphere is
heard around the world. There are
scoreboards in London, Paris, Berlin,
Guam, Hongkong and Toklo, and root
ers in every known tongue."
"Gallant Commodore Perry opened
the ports of Japan to American com
merce, and globe trotting nines open
led the parks of Japan to the great
American game. Thuj are the peace
ful messages of New World civilization
carried to ancient peoples."
"Modwn civics finds one of its abl
est allies in baseball. Executive, judi
cial and legislative branches of gov
ernment year after year are recruited
from the diamond. President Wilson
was a ballplayer: so was President
Taft. The distinguished Chief Jus
tice of the Supreme Court of the
United States never varies in his loyal
support of the game, and so it is all
along the line."
"If we were to have another escut
cheon to express the popular side of
national life, and the design were to
be decided by popular vote, it would
be two bats crossed, with a fielder's
mitt set in the upper opening of the
sawbuck and a catcher's mask under
neath."
"Taking the game as It is played—
professional, semi-professional, col
lege, schoolboy scrub and one-old-cat
—there are in all probability a million
Americans who find pleasure In par
ticipation in it. And there are other
millions in the grand stands and
bleachers and on the side lines."
"Whenever men seek relaxation,
bankers, brokers, employes of busi
ness houses, mills, shops and factories,
they turn naturally to the national
game. Baseball is the big event at
every outing, and it is more import
ant than the fireworks on the Fourth
of July. Fat men play the lean men,
the tall play the shorties, the married
men play the single men, the book
keepers play the sales department, and
so on. Tt's the great inspirational
contest in every State in the Union,
every county in the State and every
town in the county."
"If all the ballplayers in the coun
try were organized into an army, they
I would form a force that would be in
vincible. They would be a defense
against the armies of the world."
"No event in the country's regular
calendar is of such vital import to the
masses of the people as a world series
contest. No hamlet is too remote
not to receive a flash of the result, no
community too engrossed in its Imme
diate personal affairs not to Join with
the crowd anxious to find out who
won. The message that Is flashed to
the White House is duplicated to the
backwoods of Maine, to the Everglades
of Florida, to the ranches in Texas and
to the fruit belt of Oregon. Even the
Indians in far off Saskatchewan come
down one-hundred and fifty miles to
Portland to get the news and take it
back to their people."
"We may look for international
baseball. It is bound to come. Al
ready the same is played around the
world. The Waseda College team of
Toklo defeated the University of
Pennsylvania team last season. The
Chinese team from the University of
Honolulu beat a strong semi-profes
sional team. The big games will come
along. International yachting, gold,
polo, tennis and shooting are now on
the world's card. As a development
of the Olympic spirit we will have the
I world's baseball, and the contest for
supremacy will be the most momen
tous event of the time."

INTERVIEWS SELF
FOB PRESS OF CITY
Hands Out Neatly Prepared Copy
Telling All About Firm's
Business
With the arival of W. H. Hile, the
president of the African Ostrich Farm
and Feather Company, at the local of
fices, in the Calder Building, interviews
and statements explaining the turmoil
which lias risen about the affairs of
the concern were quickly prepared for
the press. Mr. Hile busied himself this
morning trying to undo what he called
the impression that there was anything
in the stories about friction in the com
pany.
"The affair in Wilkes-Barre is noth
ing. absolutely nothing," he said re
peatedly. "We shall carry on our plans
here, and even though we are not get
ting a fair show, we shall do this city
good. To illustrate what our recep
tion would be if we went to other
places, I'll show you these." and he
brought out the much-thumbed packet
of letters frequently shown to prove the
desire of other cities to have the farms
located there.
"But we want to establish our farm
and our central headquarters in your
city here, because it is the capital of
the State, and we believe that we can
do the city good."
He had prepared an interview, which
he told newspaper men was very im
portant. and tilled with good stuff. The
interview just as he handed it out is
as follows:
The Interview
| "An Interview with W. 11. Hile, presi
dent of the African Ostrich Farm and
Feather Co., who has been absent from
I the city. He stated, concerning the
plans and purposes of the company.
I that the Intention of the company was
to go forward with the development of
lan ostrich farm for Harrlsburg. The
company has from its very inception
lo the present time made good every
I promise, as any business man or bank
In the city of Bloomsburg will testify.
I The monies acquired to build up the
Industrie have come from one source
<)nly, namely, through the medium of
I the sale of the stock of the company.
I This money lias been invested in real
estate, consitsing of three (.3) of the
I best farms in Columbia county, and
spent in the importation of the os
triches, the establishing of the live
stock breeding end of the business on
the purchase of office building In the
city of Bloomsburg and establishing of
the feather business.
Those Inliai'iiionious Reports
"The reports emanating from
Wilkes-Barre, which seemed to be of
an inharmonious nature were from
the effects of outside influences.
"The board of directors expect to
meet on Saturday, at which time it
will be decided where the annual
meeting of the stockholders shall be
held, and it is certain the vote will
be cast for Harrlsburg."
Teachers Hear First of
Series of Lecture
The University of Pennsylvania last
night inaugurated Its new system of
free extension courses for the higher
professional training of the teachers
of Pennsylvania in the opening of a
lecture course, given by Professor A.
Duncan Yocum, in Technical high
school, on "Efficiency in the Material
and Method of Teaching." About a
hundred teachers from Harrlsburg,
Steelton and neighboring counties
have pledged themselves to take the
course.
Superintendent Garver, of Dauphin
county, was among the first to enroll,
while Superintendents Downes and
McGlnnis have done everything In
their power to make the new move a
success. Similar lecture courses will
soon be opened at Williamsport. and
at Altoona, Dr. Yocum holds the
chair of educational research and
practice at the university.

TENER IS PRUISED
FOR SELECTIBKS
Philadelphia!! Says That Appoint
ments on Charitable Com
missions Are Good
The Philadelphia Public Ledger of
yesterday contained the following re
garding the appointments to commis
sions made Friday by Governor Tener:
"Governor Tener's appointments to
the four charities commissions were
generally approved yesterday by the
Public Charities Association, which
was the sponsor for the bills and in
whose otflce they were drafted. It was
said by officials of the association that
the creation c.f these boards meant a
new era for Pennsylvania In the care
of the dependent imbeciles.
"Stanley H. Howe, educational sec
retary of the association, said in dis
cussing the appointments:
" 'We are much gratified by the ac
tion of the Governor in appointing
these committees, and particularly
with Ills selections for the colony for
feeble-minded women of child-bearing
age. This is one of tiie most import
ant steps forward that the State has
ever taken. It commits the State to a
new policy in which prevention, rather
than care of feeble-minded persons,
will be the keynote. This colony
should be established on State land as
near to Harrisburg as possible, in or
der that members of the. Legislature
| can visit it and see what :s being done.
It is our hope that immediate steps
will be taken to establish the colony
and erect the buildings so that by the
I time the next Legislature assembles
the colony will be ready. We have
I now from 90 to 100 women ready to
enter it.'
"The Legislature appropriated $40.-
1000 for the erection of buildings for
tho housing of such women, but did
not provide any funds for mainten
ance. This will come later, but Mr
Howe believes that eventually the col
ony can be made self-supporting, as in
some other States. Mr. Howe said:
" 'There are three grades of women
who will lie cared for. The first is
the low grade Idiot, who is absolutel.s
helpless and must even bo fed. Sec
ond comes the Imbecile, who can help
herself to some extent, but is not en
tirely self-supporting. Third comes
the moron, who under proper training
can tie taught to do work that will
support her and earn enough sur
plus to support the others.'
" 'Moron,' it is explained, is a term
applied to women of low mentality,
who lack all moral principle. Mr.
Howe continued:
• " 'lt is the plan of these measures
to prevent the creation of Imbeciles.
It Is Just as possible to eliminate the
feeble-minded as it is to eliminate
smallpox. Of course, those who are
with us must bo cared for, but meas
ures should be taken to prevent fu
ture generations from supplying oth
ers, and the creation of these various
boards is the first big step that Penn
sylvania has taken with that end in
view."
"It is believed that this first step
of the State will be followed by others
and the policy pushed until, when an
other generation grows up, there will
be but few women or men who are
mentally incapable, and, therefore, a
burden upon the community."
