Never have Keokuk fans lavished
SO much praise upon ball player as
they have upon Red Corridor, that
peerless third sacker who performed
for Keokuk ID the Central Association
for two years in row, was purchased
by the ST. Louis Browns and is now
with Omaha in the Western league.
But Connie Bresnahan, cousin of
the great Roger Bresnahan, manager
of the ST. Louis Cardinals, who is
now playing third for Keokuk, gives
promise of being Corridon's superior
when experience brings to him the
confidence necessary for faster base
ball.
1t is only of late, however. that
Bresnahan has been striking his pace
say during the last four weeks. He
is different type Of ball player. Cor
ridon is aggressive. Bresnahan is
aggressive, but you would never know
it, for he moves about in silence and
scarcely ever utters g word on the
diamond
Compare the records of both play,
ers for their first year in professional
ball. Corridor fielded about SOC
playing third base. He was at bat 800
times, made 81 runs and hit safely 81
times. His batting average was .2y9

CONNIE BRESNAHAN MAY BE
RED CoRRIDoN's SUPERIOR
Brief Comparison Of Two Youngsters Who Have Future
Before Them in National Game if They Continue to
Improve in the Past.

He pilfered onl fifteen bases. Now
take a slant at Bresnahans record.
Up to August he had been at bat
292 times with "a runs and "A hits to
his credit. His batting average was
.253 and he had stolen % bases. His
fielding was about twenty points low
er than Corridon's.
Many term Corridor much more
aggressive fielder. But it must be
remembered that during the first sea
son Corridor played ball here he did
not get half dozen hard hit balls to
the left of MIN. He was ia better
than Bresnahan on ground balls and
slow punts, but there is no compari-
son in the batting ability of the two
players. In pinch Bresnahan is
cool as cucumber, v lille Corridor
was given to dancing from one foot
to another like a youngster, nervous
and excited Bresnahan is fielding
much better right now than he did
earlier in the season.
Comparing the two players Bresna-
han has it on Corridor in many ways
as far as first year ball is concerned,
but the former third sacker has great
ly improved and it is up to Bresna-
han to demonstrate that he is also
major league prospects by his future
work.

The other player ousted was Raglan.
Raglan was running to third when a

made no attempt to play for him, but

Bresnahan fielded the ball and then
seeing that he was not playing for

He is always above board and the
fact that he is a fighter who never

something for which he deserves

Some one accused Catcher Cadigan
yesterday of being Irish. The allega-

Kerwin got three hits and struck
out twice. The big left fielder is a
rood natured fellow and fans rather
like him
Third baseman Raglan says he new
er saw them come SO fast as yester-
day. He had about half dozen al
most impossible chances and played
them about as well as any big Lacquer
in the country But they were simply
impossible and he failed to field any
of them. Two were slow and he field
ed them to first with one hand, but
too late. One hard hit ball hoped
high over his head Two others went
to the left or right of him. He was re-
lieved when Johnson ordered him
from the game.
