 | ST. LOUIS. Feb. 5.-CnlasS Roger 1 Ercsnahan proves slouth at the gath cring of the National league magnate~
 in New York. February l3. and Stlrtle+ the local and foreign communities with Som, sensational deals there
 won't be a single change in the front of the 1912 Cardinals. This was the news delivered by BreSnahan tust be-
 fore h. departed for what he says k
 the capital Of the world. Toledo. ohio. fl Pilot Rog is not satisfied with the ' timber that he has to polish. and the talent his scouts picked from the lower r. gipns does not make him believe that there are any T. Cobbs H. Wa ,ncrs. ] C. MathemSons or G. AleNanders in
 the squad So it means hat if the
 other N. l.. magnates block the swaps { that BrVsnahan hopes to complete. or ' # they call in the waiver requests on l 6ie players he wants. then there are | just fifteen of the thirty-two players who are sure of their jobs. | Tn placing the figure of regulars at 1 fifteen BreSnahan naems them [" car r, the real fight throughout the sea son still there are few other war riors who are certain [" be carried along. but ;hey were rot selected by | Eresnahan for his regular team i Tn glancing over the team B-esna- han picks from the candidates h. now owns tn. fans will find that it k the san one that was rushing up towards l the top in that gruellng grind about isst July. Roger k furcei tn retain | the three same outfielJcrS Ellis Evans anJ Oak,.s. simply because he l hasn't anything better and because it l is impossible to go out and with a set of burglars tools stick up anyone for q garden chaser who can stick 300. swipe n sacks per annum and field about 970.
 An outfieldpr who can work in that fashion can have al life time job with | R. P Bresnahan IT Ellis and Oakes would have improved at the same clip as Steve Evans. during the past r. months. then the Cards would have one of the best gardens in tine x. l.. For brief periods during the last sea son Rube and Rebel performed right pertly. but they didn't keep it Up like the Steve party.
 on the inner works unless Lee Ma gee proves himself wonder around short and unless Waffle Smith de velopS into d phenom. the same old quartet which is Koney. Huggns. Hauser and Mowrey will guard the in field Anyway Roger k rely upon the big four at the start. still hes going to give Magee and smith every rppor- tunity to cut in.
