John Kinley Tener yesterday resign-h
e d as president of the Nation Ledgue.‘
in a letter to the eight club presidents .
Mr. Tener declared that the National:
League's relations with American
might be served best. by his stepping ,.
out of office. Ever since the Philadeli
phia American League clubrwlth the
‘Bucking of Ben Johnson. refused to
ahiie by the National Commission’s
dt‘Cl>l0n which sent Scott Perry from
the Athletics to the Boston Nationals.
Mr. Tener has refused to sit on the
commission in any matterslinvolving-
the. American League. 1
The National league's decision to;
play the world’s series made it neces-
sary that its president take part in
the National Commission’s delibera-l
'tion‘s aneft that event. Rather than
change his original decision, and in
order not embarrass the National
’League, Mr. Tencr saw fit to offer
his reSTgnation. The. league will hold
a special meeting within a few day: mugs). _ lliad announced he. “fld'

Letter to Owners
in a letter addressed to all club
presidents in the league, Mr. Teucrl
said: ‘
"Having declined to serve further on
the National Commission for the good
reason familiar to each of you. I must
ask that my resignation as your your
president. tendered last December, be.
now accepted. .
“i am prompted to take this course
out. of consideration of the present sit-
uation and that you may more speed- '
,ily select my successor, who will, if
you desire, serve on the. commission
under the circumstances." ,
Mr. Tener is the eighth president of
the National League. He Was elected
in December, 1913, and the constltug
tion of the league Was amended so that
his term of office was extended to‘
(our years. In december, 1917. he
was re-elécted for one year. with the.
understanding that he could devote a
great, deal of his time to a new con-lI
mercial enterprise, of which he had
just, assumed control. i
In 1913, when he was first selected
to direct affairs of the older major ciro
cuit. Mr. Toner was Governor of Penn-
sylvania. and his term of office in the pushed forward their outposts still .vnncing along the railway. [Our ninth term in Coigres's.
gubernatorial chair was not: completed
until 1915. During the last fifteen
months as Governor Mr. Tener kept
‘ in close touch with -the interts of the
National League, but it was not until
the beginning of the 1915 'season that
lie was able t3 devote his cat e time
and energies to the league's affairs.
Mr. Tener who was born in Ireland
on July ‘25. 1863, 'came to America
when quite young and settled at
Pittsburg, where he. was educated, and
found his first employment and later
responsible plfsitions in manufacturing
firms there; ' '

,, While at school Mr. 'Tener learned
how to my baseball and made his
first appearance as. a professional pit?
cher in the old New England League,
with Wilbert Robinson, now manager
of the Brooklyn ‘JNatlonals, as his‘
catcher.‘.-‘In 18-88 his ability attracted
the attention of Capt. Alison. who:
brought Mr. Tener to the Chicago Na-‘
tionals. ‘ . '
He played two seasons with Chicago

mark hung up by Richard T. Wilson

tion of a second faster than the world’s
figures established by Amalfi in 1914.
Over the trotting track at Syracuse
Anialfi ran the distance in l :36 1-4.
The victory did more than give Sun
Briar a record. It placed him at the
top of the three-year-old division in the
battle for the championship. After he
had romped home an easy winner all
horsemen agreed that this day he was
superior to Joliren, War Cloud, Jack
Hare. Jr. or any other colt of filly of
his age in the country.
Sun liriar earned the record without
doing his best. for at the end of the
journey he was a length and a half
ahead of J. W. Parrish's chestnut colt
Midway,.which took second honors,
three lengths ahead of A. K. Macom
ber's Motor Cop. When Mr. Kilmer's
colt finished past the judges Knapp
was tugging lustily on the reins to
keep his mount. from winning by too
great a distance. ' . ' l '
Roamer'o Absence Regretted
The Delaware was the feature of the
card. It was for three-yearolds and
upward and brought together half a
dozen of the best milers in training.
Only the absence of Andrew Miller's
Reamer prevented the race from being
a real championship test at the tits-
lance. Those which went to the post
were Sun Brlar. Midway, Motor Cop,
Old Kocnlg, Walnut Hill and Wcsty
Hogin.
"My horse will win this race even if
he has to smash the world’s recon."
said Henry McDaniel, trainer of Sun.
Brlar. as the sextet were Wendlng
their way through the paddock gate.
Hundreds heard this remark. but only
a few of the listeners wagered on his
colt.
McDaniel was right. When it came
to racing Sun Brier was in a class by ‘
himself. The sextet went away to a
perfect start, but before a sixteenth of ‘
a mileshad been covered Old Koenig
was scouting along in front. halt a'
length ahead of Motor Cop. A length.
back Sun Briar and Westy Hogan were
running as a team. in front of Walnut
Hall and Midway. \
Down the long back stretch Old
Koenlg, the hero of hundreds of bat-'
ties and as game a horse on ever look-
ed through a bridle. stepped along at
the head of the field at a dizzy pace.
He travelled the first Quartet in 23 2-5
seconds. and when he began the run
around the bend had increased his
lead to two lengths. 1
Sun Erlar to Fore.
At this p’olnt Motor Cop was still
second and Sun Briar third, a length
further back. Old Koenig skimmed
Ialong the rail around the turn at his
mightiest speed, but it gained him
nothing. In fact he. lost ground. for at'
that point Knapp gave ’Sun Briar his
head._The result electrified the crowd.
In a‘ few bounds Sun Briar sped to
Old Koenig's saddle girth. fie could
have gone on and taken command?
. there, but Knapp gave him a'breathi‘ng‘
spell and held him in restraint in Sec!

Lion D‘Or Record.
'i'hile Sun Briar‘s figure: will stand
t world‘s record it will be only for
"'cular track, for Caimon ran one
ile c right course in England
51 1900 in 1:33 1-5. Salvator also beat
.oday’s figures over a straight course
at Monmouth Park, N. J.
Just previous to Sun Briar‘s record
breaking performance Philip A. Clark‘s
chestnut colt Lion d'Or equalled the
five and a half furlong mark of 1:05 2-5
established yesterday by W. R. Coe’i
Star Realm. '
The victory of Lion d'Or was a 005‘.” ‘
1y one for Mr. Clark. for after the race
the horse was bid up from $1,200, his
entered priCe, to 82.200. Samuel Lewis
and William Weant took turns in
“boasting"‘tbe colt, but. the $2,200 bid
by Lewis was not high enough and
Lion d'Or was fed back to his old
barn by an additional $5 bid by his
owner.
The ‘steepiechige for maiden three-
year-olds and upWard om‘ the tile
mile course resulted inwonf of the
best cross-country events of the year.
It resulted in what many of the spec
tators called a triple dead heat. Capt.
'Ral Parr’s Le Marsouin, Mrs. Walter
M. Jefford’s Babcock and J. H..Lewis's
Max Meadows finished so closely to
gather that only the judges could sep-
arate them. They said Le Marsouin
was first, Babcock second anti Max
Meadows third. i ‘
It became known today that a
sponge was found on Sunday night in
the nostrils of Reddest, the steeple
chase horse which was disgracefully
beaten yesterday. Because of this
fact a majority of the raccgoers exon-
erated lBobby Haynes, who rode the
horse. It is likely that the stewards
will reinstate the jockey during .
week.
Mars Cassidy was not in the best of
humor today. He suspended Jockey '
Joe. Byrne for ten days for bad bella-
vior at the post and fired his son,
Mars. Jr., the assistant starter.
