UNLIMITED POWER
IN THE EVERS MIXUP
President of National League Can
Go as Far as He Likes and In
tends to Mete Out Justice
New York. 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."
