C., March 14.—The reception to Governor John K. Tener, president of the National League, and Philadelphia baseball club officials here yesterday was a big event, but the feature of the day was the playing of Governor Tener after he reached the Phillies' training camp. The Governor was a spectator not longer thjtn five seconds. The call of the diamond was too strong, and peel ing off a gray coat of fine texture, he handed it to a friend and demanded a bat. Spotting Beals Becker in the out field, the Governor yelled, "Get this one." He showed that he was an ex pert fungo hitter and batted flios to Becker, Alexander and others. A chilling wind was blowing and Tener was induced to slip on Sherwood Ma gee's big sweater. Pennsylvania's Chief Magistrate was no Southern bloomer. After he had fungoed to his heart's content, he de clined to quit, but went out in the outfield and handled, with the sure ncss of a Paskert, the fly balls that Alexander batted to him. The Wilmingtonians looked aghast at tho ease with which the herculean statesman raced forward and back ward and stabbed the drives that Alex ander batted. After this course of baseball he pitched to Catcher Killifer. It was past the noon hour, and the Governor was still an untiring, conspicuous fig ure in the practice. Governor Tener took his turn with the others at the bat. The first time up he smote a solid drive over Herbert Murphy's head that would have been a clean single in a real game. Nobody had to be told f'ut the Governor was once a professional ball player. He had all the actions of a [regular, and he made an instantaneous | impression with the players.

TRIS SPEAKER, HIGHEST-PRIC Trls Speaker, the great star of tho Boston American club, is now tho highest-priced baseball player ever known In the history of tho same. If all reports are true, and they have not been denied by the owners of tho c.ub. Speaker has signed a contract for SIB,OOO a year for two years. He .was met by John J. Lannln, president of the club, when he got back from his trip around the world with the Giants and AVhite Sox combination and the official didn't leave him till his name was placed on a contract. According to the story published, Lannin took the center fielder to dinner and talked to him about his salary. They made no headway till Lannln mentioned SIB,OOO as the figure. Thereupon Speaker very quickly signed. This is one of the Indications that the big league magnates are not taking the Federal League as such a joke as they havo pretended. Should tho Federal League fail during the coming summer, the players of tho regular big league clubs will have to thank it for boosting many salaries. It was'tliought that Ty Cobb, who was believed to have signed a contract last year calling for a salary of $12,000, was the highest-priced ball player. This year it is understood the owners of the Washington Sen ators must pay Pitcher Johnson $12,000. Christy Mathewson, of New York, has Just signed a new contract and It is the belief that he must have been given a very high salary. The Federal League was after him and had made him an offer. Johnny Evers, deposed manager of the Cubs, was taken over by Jim Gaffney owner of tho Boston National League club, at a salary of SIO,OOO for four years and a bonus of $20,000.
