League, pclnted out by the United; Press in -the last World Series, wai admitted today by Oovernflr John K, Tener President of the National League. , It Isn't Wlbert Robinson who Is so much to blrae for the loss of the Wor'.d Series, according to Gov. Tefter, but is due to the fact that the players who made up the Nati onal League club were wholly un able to do the things which might have won the games. It wou'd- have been useless, Tener contends, for Robinson to follow tactics other than the ones he did follow. The fielding, Governor Tener' a grees, was something awful and the Brooklyn club never has a chance against such a grand organ ization as the Red Sox. Tener, however, Is extremely op tlm'stic and "he- believes that before the time come? for another world series his league will be strengthen ed to such an extent that It will give Its rival opposition of the ster nest sort. Work Is now being done he declares, which will give the National League undoubted streng th.
