Interferes I HE EVANGELIZED AMONG TE4MMATESI Tener Says Billy Sunday Was Influence Whie Playing on the Field Good' New York, May 22.-Billy Sunday, evangelist and ex-ball player, started his career at turning men into the prope? paths of life long before he began to send his enthusiasm shooting into their breasts from the eminence of a platform. Governor John K. Tener, now presi- dent of the National league, declares Sunday's influence was one of the best things he ever saw on a baseball field. Tener played ball when Sunday did. "Sunday was a fine baseball player and as fine a man as I ever knew on a baseball field," Tener said recently. "He was not a good hitter, but when he did reach first base it was almost certain he would score a run. He ran upright, his feet moving like those of a sprinter. There was no waste mo- tion. If he had been able to hit with any degree of accuracy his name would have gone down in the history of baseball with as much vigor as some of the game's greatest men. It was beautiful to see his long logs in ac- tion around the bases. He was the fastest man I ever have seen on the base lines. "Sunday's influence, even when he was a young man playing baseball, was a fine thing. le didn't have the mistaken idea that to cure a man of bad habits it was necessary to hold him up for the public to gaze upon and criticise. But you often could see him sitting on a bench, his earnest face turned appealingly to some man, asking him to change his ways. He had a way about him that made those men think.
