TENER TURNS EBBETS DOWN

National League Head Fails to Find Anything Against Stengel and Cutshaw of Pirates. True to his threat of some time ago, President Ebbets of the Brooklyn club took Charley Stengel and George Cutshaw before President Tener of the National League. However, from what can be learned, Mr. Tener has informed the Superbas* boss that there is nothing to be done; that neither of the players mentioned has said or done anything that could, by the wildest stretch of imagination, be construed into being an attack on the honor or Integrity of Mr. Ebbets. This action was the result of the story written from Jacksonville recently, in which the new Pirates took exception to certain statements alleged to have been made by Ebbets. Both Stengel and Cutshaw denied they had been trouble-makers while with Brooklyn, and in doing so they enterG 1 vigorous denials to statements alleged to have emanated from their whilom employer. Both “Casey” and George dared Ebbets to make good on certain things; and this, it is believed, caused the Brooklyn owner to approach Mr. Tener. However, as stated, the league executive has declined to act stating, according to the best information obtainable, that there is nothing for him to “act upon.”
