IT LOUIS. No, Oct. 28.-Roger
Bresnahan. the deposed Cardinal
~ manager, believes that he is re-
sponsibIe for Mrs. Helene Britton now
owning the local National league club.
In telling Of his experiences with the
woman magnate manager" Bresna-
han said;
when Stanley Robson died I was
called to Cleveland for a conference
with Mrs. Britton, who inherited the
club from her uncle. Mrs. Britton had
had little experience as to running a
BAH club, and naturally she hesltated
about taking actual charge of the
Before I left St. Louis for Cleve-

amusement magnate, called me- He

the Braves He heard OF Mr. Robson
death and decided that ne would pre-
fer to buy the St Louis club
He and 1 were friends. He told
me over the phone that he wanted
to buy the Cardinals and asked me
what a fair price would be. I told him
$500, 900. He thought that too much
by about $500 600. However, 1 knew
the club had a pretty bright future
and 1 told him that that was the
price I would ask if the club belonged
to me He then commissioned me
to make a bid for the club, saying he
would pay the price 1 deemed proper.
When I met Mrs Britton at her
home in Cleveland she asked me what
she should do-sell or retain the club.
1 advised her to keep 1t. / pointed out
that the club had made 100000 the
previous year and stood to make more
the coming year-1911- also told her
that when I took charge in 1903 the
club was heavily in debt, but that we
made fair profit that season, and
made $4,000 in 1910.
However, I told her I was willing
to make her an offer for the club 1
said I would pay 100000 right then
but I also told her that she had a
chance to make bigger money by re-
tanning the team. She took my sug-
gestion and decided not to sell
MRS. Britton then told me that she
wanted me to look after the clubs af-
fairs on the field and in the business
office. She said her uncle, buried that
day, had told her that I was able to
run botn ends o. the club. appre-
cited this confidence and pledged my
word to give the team my best serv-
ices
7 did so, though I forfeited a
chance to become a club owner my
self. Frazee had promised me a block
Of stock if 1 swung the deal How
ever. I had grown to admire Stanley
Robson, a thorough sportsman, so I
refused to advise Mrs. BritOn to sell, in
view of the bright future in store for
the Cardinals.
Well we had a big year in 1911.
The club earned around $4,000 and
everybody was pleased. However, ]
soon learned that 1 was not to run
