OGDEN PITCHES STEELTON TEAM TO VICTORY—TENER MAY QUIT LEAGUE-AMUSEMENTS
JOHN K. TENER
MAY QUIT GAME
His Retirement Depends on
Action of National League
Today in McGraw Case
Philadelphia, June 18.—John K.
Tener, president of the National
League, is not a candidate in any
way for re-election to office. His
term expires this year and the direc
tors of the league will be called upon
to elect,a president at the annual
meeting of the league in December.
Mr. Tener made that announce
ment when informed that dispatches
from Pittsburgh were to the effect
that he would not be re-elected to
the presidency of the league.
Further than to say that he was
not a candidate for the office, Mr.
Tener refused to discuss the matter.
He said: "That is all I have to say
at this time."
A special meeting of the league
has been called for to-day at New
York for the purpose of taking ac
tion upon the New York Club's pro
test of President Toner's suspension
and fine of Manager McGraw, of the
Giants, and to consider the insult
ing remarks McGraw has been quot
ed as making about Mr. Tener, in
connection with his suspension.
Depends on Action To-day
Although Mr. Tener refused to
make any comment or prediction it
is evident that the attitude taken
by the directors at the special meet
ing will determine Mr. Tener in the
course he will take regarding re
election as president of the league.
The New York Club and Mana
ger McGraw have much influence In
league affairs. If the league refuses
to sustain Mr. Tcner's punishment
of McGray for his attack upon Um
pire Byron, at Cincinnati, and sup
ports the New York Club's protest,
Mr. Tener will likely announce his
retirement from baseball. He has
said that his rulings as president of
the league must be respected. It is
known that Mr. Tener is very angry
over the McGraw matter and it is
likely that he will make it a deciding
factor in league affairs.
McGraw Is in Bad
According to well-versed baseball
men McGraw is liable to suspension
for the balance of ttie season for his
alleged verbal attack upon the pres
ident of his league.
Mr. Tener is very happy over the
sudden, but satisfactory ending of
the suit for damages brought by the
Baltimore Club of the defunct Fed
eral League. When asked what dis
position would now be made of the
money that is to be paid the Brook
lyn Club under the peace agreement
with the Federal League, Mr. Tener
said:
"That matter is in the hands of
our attorneys. They will take it up
promptly and make satisfactory dis
position of the payments now due
on the $400,000 that was to be paid
the Brooklyn Club."

whole system suffered in conse

"Nothing I ate ever agreed with
me. I would get full of gas, I had
headaches most all the time, I was
constipated and I couldn't get a
cood night's sleep.
"Finally I read a Tanlac testimon
ial in the paper and it was so con
vincing that I determined to see
what it would do for me.
"I am glad to say that it has fixed
me up fine and I got results from the
very first bottle. My stomach is now
is good as new, my headaches have
?ona and my whole system has been
built up."

War Necessitates Changes
While June 15 was the last day on
which players might be signed, the
enlistment of players may make a
change necessary in the rules of the
association. At first it was intended
to have no players signed after that
date, but war measures may make a
difference.
The president of the league has sus
pended a Reading player for alleged
unfair playing. The player in ques
tion is out of the game for five days.
The officers of the league will at
temptln keep the game clean.
Thffcontest scheduled to be played
last Friday night will be played
July 30. Although the close of the
schedule falls on July 26, on account
of the wet weather the postponed
contests have taken up more than
all the Fridays during the playing
schedule and the remaining postponed
games will be played after the close
of the schedule.

HARRISBURG sd§si& TELEGRAPH
MAGIC CITIES TO
HOUSE NEW ARMY
Herculean Task to Build Six
teen Training Camps in
War Time
Washington. June 18. Between
now and the first day of September
the genius or American business or
ganization is to cause sixteen magic
cities, of a population each to be
equaled in only 150 permanent cities
throughout the nation, to rise com
plete for the new national army.
In this project, giving their exper
ience and time, as in other activities
associated with the war, big business
men of this nation are engaged, in
the advisory board of the Council of
National Defense are seven leaders In
respective sides of endeavor and as
sociated with them are scores of ex
perts In respective lines. In all, there
Is a force of 100 men. Everything that
Is now essential to place the United
States on a solid war footing Is being
contributed, and given without pay.
The food situation is being cared for
by Mr. Hoover, General Goethals is
devoting the same energy to ship
building as he did the Panama Canal
and Daniel Willard, of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad is righting the
transportation problems.
Nothing that Americans have ever
before attempted will compare with
the work now beginning. The Panama
Canal, itself, was not so ambitious,
The New York subway construction
was simpler and had no driving ele
ment of immediate need. The vast
program of steel shipbuilding Is less
disturbing to the routine of industry.

The Boss said to me; "Write an Overland ad." "What about", I asked.

Not long ago I got a card from the nephew. He just said; "Fill 'er up with

Boy, Oh Boy. That was SOME trip. The li'l 'bus needed no primin'—

gets you there an' back. Man a-live, how she ate up the miles!
With the gas tank full, four cylinders hittin' an' headed due North, we

With narry a stop for anything except for a bite an' a place to sleep,

the Tech boys on "A Man's Work."
"Every on eof us can do a man's
work in a spiritual sphere. Man's
work is to build character. Charac
ter endures, while riches flee over
night, and health falls," the Rev. Dr.
Mudge said In part.
Dr. Mudge chose a.s a text for his
theme Nehemiah ..:3, "I am doing
a great work so that I can not come
down." "It is every man's preroga
tive to do a great work and there
are three, reasons for this," said he.
"First, God has given us a great
workshop. Second, we have a long
day. Third, we have great working
powers. Therefore we ought to do
a great work no matter where we
are," added the speaker. Mr. Mudge
impressed upon the graduates the
importance of character building in
a very forceful way and stated that
it. is worthy of any man's work.
Special music was given by the

and Principles at Stake in the
World's War." First describing the
ruoral degeneracy into which he de
clared Germany has fallen. Dr. Bag
nell reviewed a' number of incidents
of that nation which are "an array
of charges of immorality which can
not be paralleled."
"The moral an dspiritual Ideals of
the world are at stake," he went on.
"The German theory is that the state
is under no moral law —a modifica
tion of the old doctrine that 'the king
can do no wrong'."
Both churches were decorated tn
class colors and class flowers. The
Central seniors numbered almost
200, the largest class in the history
of the school. The Tech class in
cludes seventy-three members.
