Tener Has No Fear of Outcome; Word From Herrmann and Johnson AVithin one hour after the Federal League fired its first gun in the base ball war yesterday National and American League officials expressed their readiness to fight. The first state ment. came from Governor John K. Tener. , "I ha.ve no fear as to the outcome or the legal proceeding or that the va lidity of the national agreement will lie upheld by the court," said Mr. Tener. "I only regret that because of anv exigent circumstances the Federal League hus felt impelled to undertake to annul an agreement which the members of that league, as supporters :ind advocates of the national game, know full well has materially con tributed to the uplift and betterment of the game and been of great benefit and protection to the players and in its operation has given general satis faction to the public. "I can hardly believe that the in stitution of such litigation by the Fed eral League will redound to their credit or meet with the approval of tens of thousands of patrons of o*ir national game." From August Herrmann came these words: "An investigation or a suit of this character is something that has been invited by organized baseball, either through the courts or a committee representing Congress, for some years past, and we have every reason to be lieve that when the same has been tried and finished there will be an ab solutely clean book for the national game. "We have nothing whatever to fear. Our aots, in fact everything connected with tho national agreement, the na tional commission, the American and National Leagues, and . ail of their clubs, is an open book and a matter of record." Ban Johnson said: "This suit is an offshoot of the Gal- ' lagher resolution in the House, of Rep resentatives a few years ago to investi gate the 'baseball trust,' which was! pigeonholed. We said then we would ' welcome congressional investigation, : and we feel the same about it now. ! "Of course, we will fight the suit. Organized baseball is not a trust. Any body can buy a team in organized baseball or anybody can operate an independent league. We have no de sire to prevent anyone from entering the baseball busietiss as long as they respect our contracts." MACK LANDS LA.JOIE Mny Play First Base For the New Athletic Team Special to The Telegraph Philadelphia, Jan.
