MADISON. Wis, July 1S.--The Uni
versity of Wisconsin. which was one Of
the leaders in an athletic publication
crusade in 1906, has come forward with a
plan which is considered the most adj
vanced stand on the question of ath-
letics vet taken by any university or col
lege in the country.
The regents Of the university have
added to the curriculum a full athletic
course, which. combined with literary
work, will lead to a degree Of bachelor
Of arts.
The new course permits students Of the
university to elect forty third
of the entire number required for gradu-
ation-in athletic work as major study
cal education as minor requirement for
the new bachelors degree.
Ten hours a week for four years de-
voted to the practice of athletics, includ-
ing foot ball, base ball, crew work. bas-
ket ball, track work, gymna sites and
aquatics, and practice work in teaching
for two hours each week for three years
are part OF the requirements in the new
course.
All work done on the athletic field.
both in intercollegiate competition and
intercollegiate and interclass games, will
be credited by the university as work
done toward completion of the university
course.
Students desiring to qualify as coaches
in certain sports may do so by taking
work offered in the special technique OF
sport and by becoming proficient, in GER
tain required forms of athletics.

President Hermann Says
That Cincinnati Club Will Be
Shaken Up Immediately.

CINCINNATI. Ohio, July 1S.-"Changes
and experiments will be made in the Gin
cinnati base ball team at once" said
President Garry Hermann late yester-
day afternoon. THE question of a new
manager has been taken UP officially. but
new players are being purchased right
along. These will be introduced into the
game as quickly as possible We will not
wait until next spring to experiment.
Il thought we had first-class tnfield,
but was again disappointed Practically
all the games lost by bad fielding were
thrown away at second base and short
stop.
I'VE have some very promising young
players in Balanti, Grieves and the two
Cubans, Marsans and Almeida. Manager
Griffith is going to give them an early
trial We have a number Of deals on.
and if any is made the club will be
strengthened. Cincinnati will see better
base ball this fall than it has at any time
this season If it is within our power to
get the material.
George Stallings. manager OF the Buff
falo club. notwithstanding reports to the
contrary. will not be successor to Clark
Griffith
There is strong possibility that little
Johnnie Evers. second baseman of the
Chicago Cubs will be the lucky man. At
any rate, the new man will be playing
manager. according to President Herr

also from second home, and that is why
many games have been won.
THE Cardinals have become Infected

the pepnant. BreS has pointed out &c
them that the Worlds series means nearly
$1,000 apiece, and the men are ready to
fight to a finish. Every man on the St

square leader, who asks them nothing
that he cannot do himself. The discipline

the improved Meyers, the Cubs with

There are some good catchers in losing
teams. but they are severely handicapped
by inferior teammates. The Washing
tons. for instance, have crackajack in
Charley Street. the Boston Nationals
have Johnny King. the Cincinnatis de-
pend upon Larry Mclean, and so on, but
they can't win ball games single handed,
neither do they class with such back
stop as Bresnahan. 1t has been argued
many times that If the Giants had clung
to Bresnahan they would have won at
least two pennants. and If the Cardinals
finish ahead of McGraw's men this year
persons will insist that Roger has ac-
complished the feat. When the Cardinals

CLEVELAND. Ohio. July 1S-What

local base ball enthusiasts, who have
seen the Maps with Stovall at the helm
come from a mark of $40 June Is to 500
July Is. June 16 the Maps had won only
twenty games and lost thirty-three. Since
then they have won twenty-three games
and lost but eight, most remarkable
record for a second division team. Four
games were dropped to Detroit, two to
Philadelphia. one to Chicago and one to
St Louis. In the meantime. three have
been won from Boston, six from ST Louis.
four from Chicago, four from Washing
ton. two from Philadelphia. three from
New York and one from Detroit.
It has come out just as Stovall said
early in May, when he outlined his plans
AT that time ne said:
Cleveland has the players. All they
need is confidence We are going to lose

violating confidence to say that during
the Nationals first western trip he
opened negotiations for the purchase of
the Browns This was we'll under way

consummated when the st. Louis Car

Aleer, realizing that with the opposition
club in the pennant race the tail-end
Browns would not be financial success
for some years to come, called the deal
off
But the prospects of getting hold OF the
Boston club are quite alluring. There is
no question about the financial success
OF such a venture, for that club has
made several fortunes since 1t was IN
stalled at the Hub. and that without the
team winning the pennant every year.
McAleer has some money of his own
not enough. of course, to buy out John

He was told last winter at the New York
meeting to go ahead and buy the st.
Louis club. and could have paid spot
cash for 1t, but Hedges price was too
high. This same backing Is behind Nc
Aleer in the Boston deal, which has all
the earmarks of going through. Since
McAleer reached Chicago he has been in
conference with President Ban Johnson
and various parties who will be interest
ed with him in the purchase of the Bos-
ton club. and it is understood from re-
liable source that the deal may be closed
within ten days or less.
Should McAleer succeed in this venture
he would undoubtedly Immediately resign

NEW YORK, July 1S-Critics who have
studied the st. Louis Cardinals this year
say the remarkable success of the team
is due to heavy. consistent batting, fast

ordinary quality Of pitching. But prac-

National League teams who can speak
from actual experience-say that Bresna-

of defensive tactics and the breaking up

worked wonders.
"Bresnahan is using a headful of gray
matter" said a prominent ball player the
other day HE learned inside base ball
when he caught for the Giants under Nc
Graw's management and he has gradually
drummed the principles Of that style OF
play into his pliable team. In the first
place Roger has impressed upon his pitch
ers the fact that they must follow his
Instructions to the letter and that they
must work in regular rotation. He has
made them practice control until at least
four of them, Sallee, Harmon. Golden and
Steele, have it down fine. Bresnahan
calls for more balls over the plate than
any other catcher. He believes in putting
a batsman in the hole quickly as pos
sible. for he says that IL the first ball
