One of Best Things by Governor Tener Many baseball meu, past and present, gathered at the testimonial testi-monial recently given In Pittsburgh Pitts-burgh for Barney Drsyfuss. among them being John K. Tener, former governor of Pennsylvania Penn-sylvania and for a time president of the National league. Tener"s presence brought out a story from one of the speakers which showed he has never forgotten the days when he was a pitcher for the Chicago Cubs. When Tener was governor, so the story goes, a certain member mem-ber of the house was very earnest about a bill he had fostered, sponsored and treasured. This bill finally came up for Tener's signature and he signed it. The house member was so thankful that he couldn't find words to express his gratitude to the governor. Meeting him personally per-sonally he said: "Governor Tener, I think that's one of the best things you ever did." The governor looked into the eyes of the lawmaker for a moment, mo-ment, then retorted : "You've got it nil wrong I once shut out the Giants." t t
