Leach Transact Business With Chief Pirate Special to The Telegraph Pittsburgh, Feb. IS.—Two ex -1 tremes in the baseball world dropped into the offices of the Pittsburgh Pirates yesterday. One was John K. Tener, president of the National lea gue and ex-governor of Pennsylvania. The other was Thomas W. Leach, who received his unconditional re lease from the Chicago Clubs a few days ago. President Tener stands six feet, six inches tall, but beside Leach he looks to be fully seven feet in stature. Tom my the Wee, in reality is five and a half feet in height, but when the two are together the little ex-Pirate star doesn't appear to be much bigger than a minute. Tener is transacting some private business in and about Pittsburgh. He dropped in fop a little chat with Pres ident Dreyfuss, but said he had noth ing at this time to give out concern ing basjball matters. The ex-gover nor will leave shortly for California, where he will represent Pennsylvania at the Pan-American exposition. Reach's object in calling at head quarters was to see about a berth in Cincinnati. The Beds are in need of an outfielder and Tommy has been one of the greatest players the nation al gome ever possessed. He still has a I lot of baseball in his system. The Fed- j eral League is negotiating to securei Jiis signature on a contract. The Na-I tional does not like to see the little star drift out of organized ball. Leach, therefore, was asked to call jit headquarters. He kept the appoint ment. President Dreyfuss, it is said, was asked by August Herrmann, head I of the Cincinnati club, to get into i touch with Leach if possible and en-! deavor to arrange with him to consider! an offer from the Beds. It is under- i stood that Tommy .agreed to nego.tjate. ' expressing V Wish to accept trie' best proposition he might receive. UNDERTAKERS RUDOLPH K.
