TENER LEAVES EARLY Turns Over Chair to Charles Ebbets for a Time, but No More Busi ness Is Done New York, Dee. 11. —Charles H. Eb bets, the squire of Flat'bush, had the honor of usurping the chair of the Na tional League while the magnates of that institution dosed the parting para graphs of the (business at their annual meeting at the Waldorf-Astoria yester day. Governor Tener, hurriedly called home, tendered the chair to C. Holiday. There was very little business left when President Tener resigned the throne, and that little was disposed of as laboriously as possible. The ques tion before the house dealt with the proposition of waivers. It has been suggested that claims for release of players might not t>e recalled when once asked. No action was taken. It was agreed by the National mag nates that the ,-oster limit recently adopted would not include uniformed men not actively engaged in the game. In other words, bench managers or lead ers who do not appear regularly in the real contests will not count. Nor will coaches who take no active part in the scheduled games. The league went on record as op posed to any change in the prevailing conditions of the world's series. Nine fames too unwieldy, t was decided that the clubs be allowed to carry their present rosters up to May 1, next, when every one will have to come within the limit of twenty-one men.

When the Tri-Stnte club left York and went to Lancaster last year there WM talk among the business men of getting an early start for the coming season and putting a team in the field upon a solid basis, so there would be no more anxie ty about finding money to finance the club. It is believed that those same men will lead in the movement toward the organization of a new club. HAKRISBURG STAR-INDEPENDENT, FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 11, 1914.

LOBERT TALKS WITH FEDS Player Has Given Phillies First Chance to Bid Philadelphia, Dee. 11.—" Tlonug'' Loall (players who once were turned down by a major league manager. Bill Doak, without "whom the Cardinals would not have been in the running last season, was a member of the Cincinnati Beds for a few days, but was released toy Hank O'Day. Now that Hank is temporarily out of the managerial game he doesn't mind tell ing a few things, and he says thalt he dropped Doak because he didn't seem to have either strength or any high-class pitching ability. Other clubs have kept twirlers on the chance of their developing. Had Dcak been kept through 1912 and then turned over to John Kling for instruc tions in 1913 he probably would have proved a prize. It pays to bo patient with young ball players who show abil ity 'but lack of finish. They will come if tJiey get a chance. Doak is now one of the Ijest pitchers in the old league. It was Miller Huggins who displayed patience with the youngster and waited for him to develop.
