COMPROMISE FOR
 ROGER BRESNAHAN
WILLING TO ACCEPT MODEST STIPEND so HE CAN SIGN
 WITH PIRATES.

St. Louis. Dec. 13-It is believed here that Roger Bresnahan, the de- posed leader of the Cardinals, will eff feet some sort of compromise with Mrs. Helen Hathaway Britton before the case comes up in February before the board of directors of the National League.
 This policy was intimated by Arthur N. Salger and George Priest, the two lawyers for Bresnahan, on their return from the recent New York meeting. The lawyers declare that Bresnahan is willing to accept very modest compromise because he realizes the possibilities of his future with Pitts burgh, Cincinnati and Chicago all bid- ding against one another for his ser vices.

One of the outfielders for whom the Bridgeport club is negotiating is Briggs of the Lawrence, New England League club. Briggs has been in the New England league for several years and is great hitter as well as fast fielder. He eIouted the ball for .295 last season. Manager McCann had a conference with Manager Pfeper of Lawrence while in New York recent has been reached for Briggs to come here. The local management would say nothing about the matter, today, may bring the outfeIder here. Freddy Gibbs or Tom Crook may be given in exchange for Briggs. There is also another big deal in the works which will be announced in a. few days.

Of the players who took part in the entire schedule, only two Hugh High of Hartford and Eddie Swander Of Springfield. finished ahead of Foster. Nevertheless Owner Cam eron wants a younger man and will sell Foster if he gets the right price. He bought Foster two years ago from Holyoke for $500.

Ohio and a Single Term

The presidential contestants for re- publican delegates turn from epithets now and then to figures, and they dis agree as readily over the latter as they do in personal statements.
 Colonel Roosevelts claim of 522 delegates includes about 200 contested seats. "The vote in Ohio," says MT. Taft, much to my qualification will be the decisive one and will settle the question of the nomination" This at any rate is definite, and it is pretty plain pledge that MT. Taft will with draw from the race if he loses Ohio.
 Colonel Roosevelt is greeted by large crowds throughout the state and at Lima he showed that the Presi- dents father and his son Charles, and in fact the entire Taft family belonged to Grant third term club This was a smart shot, but it will have small ef- feet in Ohio where voters are pretty fully committed already to either Taft or Roosevelt. Possibly goodly num- Der are keeping out of the unseemly contest altogether, for it is enough to turn the stomach of any fairminded and just and thoughtful man.
 The impression is deepening in the public mind that the republic cannot withstand many more contests of this nature, and the constitutional propo- sition in favor of single term of six years is gaining adherents daily. It bids fair to sweep the country. Not a voice or a newspaper has yet spoken in opposition to it.
