Gu. MAKES SEVERAL
CHANGES IN TEAM
Some of Players Are Bruised
Up From vilIan0va Game
Saturday.

Catholic University's foot ball eleven is
working hard to come out victorious Sat
urday with the Washington College elev-
en-. Last Saturday Washington College
beat Delaware College. and Coach Nc
Dewitt realizes his men will have to fight
hard to win.
Yesterday the men were sent through
hard scrimmage for one hour, and new
er before this year has there been such a
showing made. The men seemed to get
into their work better and many of the
scrubs are trying their best to get jobs on
the varsity. and II they continue they are
sure to succeed. The fight was so earn
est that two members of the squad who
are the best Of friends off the field had a
real set-to because one was holding the
other. These things are not 1.-THE best for
a foot ball squad, but IL goes to show
that the men on the scrubs are still work
ing for jobs on the varsity. Coach Nc
Dewitt was more than pleased with the
scrtmmage and feels sure his charges will
put up good game next Saturday.
The men are being given thorough drills
in breaking up delayed passes and end
runs. which were two of their weak
points Saturday. Coach McDevitt has
given them several new plays and forma-
tions which they are to use in the cominp
game.
A shift has been made in the varsity
and II should work we'll and do away
with some of the weak spots which
showed up last Saturday. Durby has
been shifted to left end, in the place OF
Lynch; Magill in left tackle, instead of
Durby. and Croarkin in quarterback, in
the place of Clancy. Clancy is being
tried out at halfback and will proba bly,
be used as a second string back
McDonough is being tried out at quar-
terback on the scrubs and he should
get form in defensive work. His tack

Mlsunderstandings between club owners
and managers seem to be limited to the
National League. Last year there was
friction between Charley Doom and Fo-
gel of the Phillies: this year Chance and
Murphy have split. while Roger Bresna-
han has been handed his walking papers
though he has contract which still has
three years to run.
Such miX-upS are absolutely unheard OF
in the American League. There have
been changes made in the management
of clubs from time to time, but they have
been made without a lot of fuss and
wrangiinS such as IS constantly taking
place in the old league
There have been several instances in
base ball of late where club owners have
attempted to repudiate contracts with
managers, a condition which is detri-
are in power should not tolerate. II
Bresnahan has a contract with the St
Louis club that club should not be al
lowed to break it, and the powers that
be SHOULD see to 1t that it be not neces-
| sary for Bresnahan to go into court, to
get his rights. Base ball is a public in
stitution. and its popularity is endangered
whenever anything is done by those con-
nected with it which savors of unsports-
manlike conduct.
Even If Griffith should be able to sup
plant Frank Laporte at second base next
season. he will have valuable man in
the former Brown because of his hitting
ability. While there is nothing sensa-
tional about the second base play of
LapOrte, there is no doubt that he helps
his team wonderfully with his bat. He
is natural 800 hitter. and any player
who can hit that Well is sure to be of
much service to his team. even though
| 1t is not found policy to play him regu-
larly.
But Laporte is not in danger of being
benched. or the several infelders that
Griffith has secured by the draft there
| own with the stick. Hitting strength is
what Griffith needs. and he is sure tc
| keep Laporte in the lineup for this
reason.
| Dan Moeller's future so far as the
Nationals are concerned is by no means
settled. That weak left shoulder proved
quite handicap to Moeller in the last
campaign. ana unless a cure should be
! effected Moeller will be a questionable
| proposition to the team. But for that
weak shoulder Moeller would undoubted.

TINKER NOT TO HEAD CUBS.
Will Manage Reds if Satisfactory
Deal Can Be Arranged.

CHICAGO, October 23-Joe Tinker will
not be manager of the Cubs next year.
He Will not even be a member of the 1913
Chicago National League club. Joe Tin
ker will be manager of the Cincinnati
Reds If he and Garry Hermann can
agree on terms and IL a satisfactory trade
involving Joe can be made between Gin
cinnati and Chicago.
Tinker's elimination as Cub mana
geriaI possibility came to light yesterday
afternoon after the players had been
given their split of the city series and ex-
hibition money. Besides getting his share
of the spoils and an extra 5000 for acting
as captain of the Cubs. Tinker was given
written permission by President Murphy
to dicker with Cincinnati for the manage
ment of that club
President Murphy of the Cubs after
asking Tinker whether ii was true that
he had said he would not take the job of
Cub manager and being assured by Tin
ker that il was. gave Joe the permission
to seek the Cincinnati job.
President Murphy declined to make
public the name of the man he had
chosen to lead the Cubs. but the elimina-
ton of Tinker makes it almost certain
that Johnny Evers will be the man.

ROGER BRESNAHAN DEPOSED
AS MANAGER OF CARDINAL
Attorney Refuses to Give Reasons and
"Bres" Says He Will Bring Suit on
His Four-Year Contract.

ST. LOUIS, October 23.-Roger Bresna-
han last evening admitted he had been
discharged as manager of the Cardinal
base ball club. He said the news of his
dismissal was the greatest shock he had
ever received. Mrs. Helene Hathaway
Britton, owner of the club, refused to be
seen at the Washington Hotel. Lon o.
Hooker, attorney for Mrs. Britton, said
the only news he had to give out was
that Manager Bresnahan had been dis
missed. Hooker would not state what the
reasons were for Bresnahan's dismissal.
The deposed Cardinal leader said the
treatment he has received is shameful.
why he is being fired, except that Mrs
Britton says that she is dissatisfied.
Rogers story follows:

Cardinals was progressing finely until

officers of the club present which of the

those that ola not.
After the "Info."
II can see now my information was
wanted so no mistake would be made next
spring by those in charge Of the Cardinals
at that time. Saturday afternoon I was
told at the Cardinals Office that was no
longer wanted as manager. Mrs. Britton
told me she was dissatisfied. 1 asked her
what 1 had done. Why. if she was not
satisfied with my work. she had not come
to me before and spoken about the mat
ter She then asked why had never come
to her. I replied 1 had no occasion to
come to her which remark led her to say
that she did not think the GOODNESS that
existed could ever be patched up.
1.-The clubs directors met Monday to
find out what 1 would take IN the way of
a compromise on my contract. Informed
all present would not accept cent until
was paid every nickel coming to me on
my contract, including the 10 per cent of
the clubs earnings. No answer was made
to my request for complete settlement
Monday, but another meeting was called
for yesterday afternoon.

the clubs officials for the money l had
earned. 1 was told the money would be
paid provided I would compromise on my
This refused to do. telling them that I
thought 1 was being 'railroaded.' They
then asked me to step outside the Office
for a moment, which I did. When 1 was
called back into the office I was told I
was dismissed
Bresnahan said yesterday that he will
sue for breach of contract, hoping to COL
lect for three more years services,
whether performed or not. He said he
would institute still another action to
have the contract enforced. leaving him
still in charge OF the team, and 0pined
that. although this latter effort might be
unsuccessful, he would win without doubt
the one for future salary.
