Knowing that his death had been determan1d on he ea- eaped to Sparta. where by adopting the manners of the people, in strange contrast to his former style of luxurys be became immensely popular. Re en- gagged in military operations againss the Afhenians and succeeded SO well as to excite the envy of the Spartan leaders, who expelled him, whereupon he went to Persia and HvSd there with a magnihcence that aston1shed the Persians themselves.

BROOKLYN CLUB
 AFTER BRESNAHAN.
REPORT THAT OPPOSED ST. LOUIS MANAGER HAS BEEN APPROACHED BY
 EBBEITS.

St. Louis, Nov. 1.-There is a strona
 probability that Roger Bresnahan, de
 nals, will wear the uniform of the
 Brooklyn club next year. Ia is known
 that Roger has been approached but
 the exact nature of the offer made to
 him cannot be learned. It also is kuown that at the time Roger was busted trade with the Superbas was considered, whereby a pitcher would Rucker. This would ~ have been sap 2 2 great trade for St Louis.
 Another proposition that was con- Roger. but Mrs Britton put these trades oat of the running by reIeas- ing Bresnahan unconditionally.
 However, the St. Louis club will not make trade for Bresnahan Mrs Brttton does not want to use him as a pawn to strengthen her team Bres- 1s nanan IS through as manager in St. Louis and may go wherever he chooses. He is free to negotiate with any club in the parent body and may sell ms services to the highest bidder.
 Bresnahan,s friends say he will en- intends to fight for the fuIffilment of his contract and will not seek employ- ment until he has reached a settle ment with the Cardinal club.
 St. Louis, Nov lit was learned Wednesday from authoritative sources that Roger Bresnahan has been re- leased unconditionally by the St. Louis National Baseball club. Off cfal notification of the fact has been forwarded to President Thomas J Lynch of the National League. That's the information gleaned here.
 By the release Rogers can do as he p4eases. It means. that the club has waived it's claims on Bresnahan's ser vices. He is free agent The other seven clubs have first call on him, and if they don't care for him then the League clubs can <step in and bid for his services.
 The courts of the National League will have to straighten out Rogers hve-year contract with the club. This contract is an exact copy of the three year-oId contract he signed with the St. Louis club when he came here in 1909, with an additional clause cover ing the 10 per cent. share of the clubs profits.

THINK TOE HOLD
 SHOULD BE BARRED

A number of wrestling authorities
 are of the opinion that the wrestling hold and several other things should
 be eliminated.
 Emil Klank, manager for Frank Gotch, worl1's champion. believes that It Is the game and not the rules that should be revised, or, rather, reform ed. One can stand for Hanks argu- ment, but really can't see why the barred from wrestling. The game is necessarily rough. Take away the toe hold and then we will have the leg hold, the hammerlock and several oth- CT things that are just as tough. The argument in favor of eliminating the toe hold is advanced, according to Klank. merely because it is the cham p1on's favOrtte way of beating his op- ponent and the public always likes to s?e the downfall of a champion
 In his match with Westergaard in Kansas recently Gotch worked with out his favorite hold and threw Wes- tergaard twice inside of fifteen min utes. It is true that the champion has won a great number of his most important matches by the use of the toe twister, but it is equally true that he has also defeated many high-class men without ever resorting to those ing with the toe hold. In his match with Mahmout in Chicago the cham p1on continually gazed at the Turks feet, and when Mahrnout began wor- rying about his pedal extren1ities the champion grabbed him around $ the waist and slammed him to the mat. Mahmout was dumped in a hurry sim ply because he was paying too much attention to his feet. The same ap- piled to Zbyszko The Pole worried himself frantic before the match try ing to develop an antidote for the toe told, and when he started out in the match he forgot everything else.
 Westergaard, however, has felt the toe hold and it's deadly work. The champion threw Jess with the foot twister, and it was month after ward before the Des Moines man could get around without the aid of a cane. Later Westergaard came back and held the champion to a draw in a time limit match with the toe hold barred, and Westergaard is a bigger and a, stronger man than Gotch.

 Smith has been guaranteed his trans portation, training expenses and $1O.- GOO for the three fights.

Mcintosh is angling to get Me Goorty to go to Australia. to meet Smith in a return match. Smith weakened himself in making weight for McGoorty, who failed to fulfill the weight agreement.
