EXPECT CARDINALS
TO FINISH BETTER
Bresnahan Is Counting on Salee TO Come Back and His
Four Young Twirlers Are Considered to Be
Finds

81. LOUIS, Dee. &.-Roger Bresnah han,
the busy boss OF the Cardinals, has his
constituents guessing.
They backed Up his administration
handsomely last season, and though for
awhile the League Park machine looked
speedy TO bust into the Fat -Four, or
top the Foolish Four anyhow, it finally
fell back into the seventh position
Summed up it was the failure OF willis
and Corridor to pitch ike they formerly
pitched, the failure OF Lush to txirI
In the eighth and ninth inning like
lie twirled in the first and second, and
the failure Of Baclzman to work Ike he
worked when debbing in 1909. that
brought the customary seventh-pIace
team to the Handkerchief avenue resort
The fans know that Still, when Bres-
nahan Chucks his failures overheard
those very same fans stand or and
nope 1t should have been included IN
the list Of failures that Harriet Sauee's
retirement from the fold was a big
knockout. SaIlee is one OF those bad
boys Of baseball who always runs out
at the wrong time-for the manager He
made a splendid beginning, and then
just when he was most needed he was
gallavanting along the highways Of

Phelps has one big weakness. and Il

ply He does not like TO nix with the
runners as they come sliding over the
plate on close plays
That's a gag that the fans ofttimes
overlook. An Arlie Latham can be pull
ed and the possible out passed up and
missed by the public Phelps IS a fair
catcher, a most loyal soul, and it's only
because Bresnahan is bent upon build
ing I'D a young team that Eddie follows
Willis. Corridor, and Lush into the
minors
What's Up Row?
Not counting the blow-off in the fall,
the Cardinals had a good season They
ran fifth most Of the way. Once they
made their supporters feel gleeful by
bagging eight games in a row, and
right here at League Park, too The
team was winning those games. Not
the pitchers. Only seldom did one of
the twirEers uncork a truly classy per
fornance- As a rule he was hit, and
the triumph came, thanks TO the stick

credited to the solicitors account, and
are paid into the county treasury. After
deducting the total expenditures for the
conduct and maintenance of my office
(Which includes the salaries of the sole
itor and his assistants), my record shows
that | have saved to the county many
thousands of dollars annually. The sal
airy of the county solicitor was raised
during my present term from $1,000 to
$500, but the constitution will not permit
me TO receive any increase during the
term for which l was elected. However,
If l am reelected l will draw the in
creased salary next term. The salary of
the judges of the criminal court tof which
| am SOLICITOR was also raised from $1,000
to S45O0, and they have been drawing their
increased salary ever since the raise was
made.
As to my holding office for two terms,
will say that | was first elected solicitor
by the legislature and only one time by
popular vote of the people of Jefferson
county. In this connection l wish to say
that other solicitors in Alabama have held
office for at least three and four terms
(and probably would have been continued
in office even longer had they desred).
Judge Alto " Lee was elected solicitor
at least three terms; Judge Thomas w.
Coleman was elected solicitor for four
terms; Judge Henry c. Jones was elected
solicitor three terms; Tennent Lomax was
elected solicitor three terms; James H.
Webb was elected solicitor three terms;
Judge c. w. Ferguson of our own county
was elected solicitor three terms and
am informed that Charlie Hill of Atlanta.
Ga, has been solicitor for at least %
years, and Is still holding that position.
You will see from the above that there
Is no democratic precedent for displacing
a good solicitor to give another man a
job because he wants ii. The era of good
and substantial government in this county
is fast making its approach, and it be-
hooves the loyal citizen who wishes a
business-like administration of our coun-
ty offices to base his selection upon eff
fciency shown, just as he would in the
conduct of his own privite business. Ger
tainly no progressive business enterprise
would think for a moment of dispensing
with the services of a well-trained and
capable official in order to crafty the
wish of some aspirant for his place
Therefore, there is no argument to be
advanced be it precedent or reason,
which lends color to the claims of my op-
ponents on this score.
I am grateful to every man who hon
ored me with his vote six years ago, and I
port me then but who have given me kind
ly assurances of support in the coming
election; and I say to all that If reelected
shall faithfully. impartially and fear
lessly discharge my duties in the en-
forcement OF the criminal law in ..Jeffer-
