Bur|esque Stage
 Wants BreSnahan
St. Louis Manager Offered $1,OOO a Week by Western Circuit

Of course it had to come. Johnny Kling, Jimmy Callahan, Mike Donlin, Christy Mathewson, Joe Tinker, Char ley Dooin and Chief Meyers were all big theatrical attractions from a box office standpoint during the of-season even if they couldn't act lick.
 That probably is why a Kansas City Bresnahan, the sensational leader of the Cardinals, one of the contenders for the National League pennant, an offer of $1,000 week for thirty-two weeks to appear in burlesQue.
 Roger has caused such talk the country over because of the manner in which he has taken g. taiI-ender out of it that it is not surprising to hear that he is wanted before the footlights.
 Maybe the Kansas City firm has wired Umpire Klem, too. Roger and he could put on that act again they fields, in which "Bres" was the re- ceiving-general for knockout punch on the jaw.
 In a scene with the ball players all around and Roger shouting, Let me at him." with a horde of shouting fans in the background, it would make thrilling act, and one that the roof of the theatre.
 When told that he was wanted in burlesque Roger said:
 I'm not very strong for the bur lesque business; I leave that stuff for Clarke Griffith. Bill Dahlen and the other mana gers"
 There are about four clubs that would like to see Bresnahan throw up his baseball job right now and take up the theatrical offer.

VARYING ONES GAME.

Another point of great importance is the necessity of varying ones game. If you find that your opponent likes a certain kind of ball, and can play it better than you can, change your stroke. If he likes, for instance, a hard-driven, low-bouncing ball, give hom slow, high bouncer, with a twist on it. In other words, brea k his game up. If he is driving and bringing his shots off with ease and accuracy, Hob" constantly to him for few games, or longer if necessary. No one can drive a "lobbed balP'- it invariably goes well out of court or into the net. The only way is to use the smash stroke. which requires much practice to bring to perfection. By the time your opponent has solv- ed this change in your game, you can return to your hard drive with every proba bility of finding him hope Lessly out of his stride. Generally, close matches are won by the player who shows the best generalship and has the most resources.-From F.. Willis ScotBs Fine Points of Tennis in Augqst St. NaEhoias.

Tim Hurst Only
 One to Enforce
 Eaters Box Rule
Manager McAleer Tells How Umpire Made Hitter Keep In- side Chalk Line

Chicago, July 26.-Jimmy McAleer, manager of the Washington Senators, says there is one rule in baseball which he has seen enforced but once. And McAleer, you know, has been in baseball a long time.
 That rule is the one which is sup rosed to confine a batter to certain space around the plate. Boxes are som etiInes drawn, but the lines are quickly erased and then the batters begin to step up on the ball.
 Take Harry Lord, for instance" said the manager of the Senators. 'I have seen him up so far that he could almost shake hands with the pitcher. Up there that he might slam into the curve ball before it broke. Is he penalized? He is not. The rule is tention to.
 '@Tim Hurst did once. however,
 "In what year was 2" he was ask
 Well, this was away back when Pat Tebeau was playing in the game" continued McAleer. ''Tebeau and Hurst had a run-in Hurst didn't finish on top for once in his life. and as result he was laying for Tebeau.
 3'The score was a tie, the inning the ninth, two were gone. and there was a runner on second when Tebeau came up. He stepped up on the ball and hit the left field fence with a drive that was good for three bases and which put the winning run across the plate Tim let Tebeau un and slide to third. Patsy gut up and knocked the dirt from his uniform and was telling the third baseman what grand slam it was.
 You're out howled Tim.
 What for demanded Patsy, when it had sidled through his brain that he was the man in question.
 Getting out of the batter's box howled Tim.
 Did Tebeau commit assault and battery? He did not He control led himself until after the game, which was lost as a result of the decision, for the runner was not allowed to score and Tebeau's out was the third. Then he broke into the locker where the clothes of the umpire were hang ing. The departing fans were start led when they saw the trousers of the umpire being tossed out of the window by the infuriated Tebeau" McAleer by this time was we'll started on the rule book and there was another ruling which met with his condemnation. That was the one which applies to interference by the catcher It seems that Bob Wal lace and his Browns were playing in Cleveland when a St. Louis runner attempted to steal home. He had the base stolen, when the batter started his swing. The catcher in his eager ness to take the pitch interfered with the swinging bat Instead of allow ing the run to score, the umpire sent the base runner back to third and a1- lowed the batter to go to first on ac- count of the interference.
 "A fine rule that" quoted McAleer. Tn case a man starts to steal the plate and the catcher realizes he has the base stolen what is there to keep him from interfering with the batter and thus cutting off the run, for the batter would be sent to first and the runner back to third, nothing else, ,un- less the bases are filled, in which event the run would score anyway"

PRACTISE FOR CONTROL.

Practise, practise, practise. you lads who would be pitchers, but practise for control, first! Learn to put the ball where you want it with an easy, firm motion, and without any curve at all. save tile natural curve. Once you have control of your straight ball, so that you can send one over the right corner, and over the left corner, and the third over the center of the plate, to your catcher's orders, twice running, you can commence on your curves and "break" deliveries. But practise these gently. Don't try to see how wide a curve you can throw, or how big jump" you can get on the ball-soo how wide a curve and how big a jumy you can set on it with control. A ball which curves and doesn't go where you in- tend it, is worse than useless to you. If you can't curve them but an inch or two without losing control, don't use that curve.-F'roc c. H.

Manager Dooin Is
 Badly Injured
Leader of Phillies May Be Out
 of Game for Season

St. Louis, July 27-Charles Dooin, catcher and manager of the Philadel- phia Nationals, Is in a hospital here of collision at the home plate in yesterdays game with St. Louis. Doc tors say that he hardly will be able to play again this season.
 Dooin must stay in the hospital un- til Saturday night at least, when he hopes to be taken to Philadelphia. In the presence of his downcast team mates an X-ray photograph of the fracture, which is of the right fibula was taken. The bone is broken in two.
 The accident happened in the fourth inning. when the Cardinals were at bat, and was witnessed by 10000 or more persons. Third Baseman Smith had just been thrown out at the plate on an inf1eld hit. Centre Fielder Oakes was on third base and Pitcher Geyer on first. They tried double steal and as Shortstop Doolan of the Phillies returned the ball to Catcher Dooin, Oakes slid into the plate feet first, striking Dooin with great force. While Umpire ODay was waving the runner out Dooin dropped on his face. Players of both teams hurriedly car ried tn manager to taxicab which took him to hospital
 Though the doctors in the hospi- tai said Dooin will be out of the game for at least two months the manager told his team mates that he believed he would be able to play again in six weeks. Shortstop Doolan will act as manager while Dooin is absent, and Moran and Madden will alternate be- hind the bat. This is the third \star the Philadelphia team has lost this season in games with St. Louis and the players declare that Dooin's in- jury, more than anything else per haps, might spoil their chances for the pennant.

MCCONNELL BOUGHT FROM
 ROCHESTER FOR S1O,OOO
New York Americans Land Crack Pitcher of Eastern League

Frank Farrell, president of the New York Highlanders, announced last night the purchase of Pitcher George Mcconnell of the Rochester cham pions of the Eastern League. The deal was made yesterday afternoon between Farrell and Manager John Ganzel of the Rochester team, who came to New York yesterday for the purpose of closing the deal.
 New York fans will recall McCon- nell as the lanky heaver, who played with the Highlanders in the early part of the season of 1909. Much was expected of him at that time, but he failed to produce. He was used by the club at the opening of the 1909 season as a first baseman. while Hal Chase was recovering from an attack of smallpox. For a time he did some hard batting Since leaving New York, Mcconnell has been the sensation of the Eastern league, and at present is the star brilliant pitching was a big factor in the. Rochesters winning the cham pionship in 1909 and 1910, and George, almost single-handed, has kept the Champions in front this sea- son. Manager Ganzel said Mcconnell has won twenty games and lost only three this season.
 The cost of McConnelPs release was said to be between $S,0O0 and S1O,- 900. which sum put him among the leading high priced fingers. He will not join the Hillmen until the close Of the Eastern League season. Gan gel said he is sure Mcconnell will be- come as big a star in the American League as he is in the Eastern He says the tall flinger has mastered a new delivery since his former trial with the Highlanders. which has wonderfully improved his pitching

Billy Kelly, the catcher for Marty CT in the American Association this season, and he is another student of the Mike Kelley school. Billy started his professional baseball ca reer on the Springfield club of the Three-I League and although he caught only fair ball with the minor league club, his hitting won for him the honor of a raise into major league company. He was drafted by the St. Louis National League club, but Rog- the Cincinnati club, failed to see any thing valuable in the makeup of the young athlete and he sold him outright to the St. Paul club.
 Kelly was second catcher last sea- son, playing substitute to Hubby Spencer, but the opening of the pres ent season found him catching won derful ball and hitting at a BOO clip, so it took Manager Kelley only few weeks to reach the decision that Kel- ly was a more valuable man to his club than was Spencer. Kelly was accordingly given the position of first catcher, and to-day he is the talk of the country.
 Billy Kelly is twenty-two years old ana ne IS a St. LOUIS product. lie started his career on the sand lots of the Missouri metropolis and when a youngster aspired to become a great pitcher. When this idea foozled out he tried the first base position and finally went in for receiving. He is a tall, athletically built young fellow and like O'Toole, is of good habits. Kel- ly and O'Toole are now and have been since the opening of the 1911 season close chums. They room together, eat together and, in fact, are insep- arable
