BRESNAHAN rs BEST MANAGER
Philadelphia Ledger Praises Ability
of Cardinal Leader.

The Philadelphia Ledger has this to
say regarding teh abilities Of the sturdy
Cardinal manager:
The impress of managerial instinct was
never more forcibly demonstrated than in
the i, stance of Roger Bresnahan's lead
ership of the st. Louis Cardinals. In the
judgment of many Bresnahan has accom-
plished more with less material than any
manager in the jor leagues. With two
or three first-class players he has brought
the st. Louis team from a position of
medlocrity to that of pennant contender
The personality of his character is con-
spicuously evident in this effort Always
d great player in all departments of the
game, he has demonstrated an ability to
lmpart his knowledge to his players who
mostly came to him as the castoffs of
other clubs. Bresnahan belongs to the
hghting class Of managers. Schooled un-
ger McGraW. he has successfully emulat-
ed the tactics employed by the New York
