Feb. 16.—Those who are of the opinion that Governor John K. Tener, president of the National league. is to be the "goat" in the Evers fight have another guess. He will be the leading actor in every transaction in the future. In all that he does the unanimous backing of the Vatlonal League owners as well as the national commissioners is assured. Not only was a vote of confidence given President Tener by the mag nates. but they gave him unlimited powers to deal with Charles Murphy and any others who, it is claimed, want to lower the standard of the game and are playing into the hands of the Federal League. Last week Governor Tener's election as president of the National League was confirmed when he signed a four year ironclad contract, which also was signed by an authorized representative of each of the eight clubs. The Gov ernor's contract contains specific clauses relating to his powers, which are binding on each club member. This news was not given out until yes terday. It is known to be true that within the last forty-eight hours Governor Tener has received positive assurance of support in whatever action he may take in the case of the belligerent Murphy from H. N. Hempstead, of the New York club; C. H. Ebbets, of the Brooklyn club; J. E. Gaffney, of Bos ton; W. F. Baker, of Philadelphia; Barney Dreyfuss, of Pittsburgh; S. P. Britton, of St. Louis, and August Herr mann. of Cincinnati. Murphy will be notified In a few days that he must pay a big cash bonus to Evers. it is said, in the shape of damages. If he refuses to abide by (lie decision of the directors, as he threatens to do. he will be placed on trial before the league by Governor Tener. it is reported, and drastic ac tion will result. The National League's resolution, adopted in November. 1912, to the effect that a representative of a club who fails to live up to the principles of sportsmanship or conducts his affairs to the detriment of the other club owners, will be excluded from the league's councils, will be the basis for Murphy's trial, so the story goes.

Plank Turns Down This Year's Contract Special to The Telegraph Philadelphia, Feb. 16.—Failure to land a minor league ownership, and due to his desire to become a bene dict and settle down to farm life, Ed die Plank sent back his contract to Connie Mack on Saturday, unsigned. I That an effort will be made to bring i him out of this retirement is assured, ' as Manager Mack desires the services of the pitcher who helped him win five American League pennants and three ! world's championships for Phlladel | phia, to tutor the young twlrlers of I the team of world's champions. Just how successful Manager Mack will be in bringing the flinger who won the last world's title game of the ser ies for the Athletics last year from his Gettysburg farm to again don a Mack uniform at Shibe park is a matter of much speculation. "There is no change in the Plank situation," said Connie Mack last night. "I think, however. Plank will | be with us when we start for Jacksori [ vllle. If he decides to quit his place on the Athletics and go elsewhere, I then 1 wish him the best luck In the ! world. I haven't a word to say against ! him." 1 STEELTOX HIGH WINNER Steelton High defeated Lebanon High at Lebanon Saturday afternoon; score. 31 to 27.
