YEARLY SAVING

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 29.-Those close to
say Roger Bresnahan was dismissed
because his contract called for too much
money.
1t is stated on excellent authority
that Bresnahans contract called for
$4,000 per annum and ten per cent of
the net profits. In addition, stipula-
tions We're made in Rogers contract
that the whole Office force OF the Cardi-
mai club should receive not more than
$4,000 in salaries.
That is, if Mrs. Helene Britton chose
to hire a president, secretary, treas
urer, groundkeeper. stenogra pher, press
agent and a few lawyers, she couldn't
disburse more than $4,000 among the
whole retinue of servants That's
where the rub came,
1t is understood that Herman See
kamp. the treasurer and business man
ager of the club, received $4,000 year.
That left only $1,000 to be split up
among Stenographer Davies, Ground
keeper Shaner and his assistants and

to pay out more than $4,000 to all her
help she was obliged under the terms
of Bresnahan's contract to charge this
against her own account. That is,
Bresnahan would collect his ten per
cent of the net profits before any
amount in excess Of $4,000 for salaries
had been deducted from the annual
earnings
Socalled expert baseball man say
that Miller Higgins can be retained as
manager for a salary of not more than
$4,000. 1t is understood that Higgins
is now receiving $4,000 A $4,000 a year
increase and a chance to make good as
manager is sufficient inducement to
make Higgins take up where Bresna-
han was dropped off. That means the
local club. by supplanting Bresnahan
with Higgins, will save surely $4,000
a year and possibly twice that much
by the elimination of the ten per cent
clause.

Giants Manager Does Not Blame Player
SNODGRASS WILL PLAY WITH GIANTS NEXT YEAR

ferent proposition had Snodgrass

ability except during one period
when he flashed temporarily as
contender for an automobile that

There can be no Disgusting the
fact that in three post season Sc

Snodgrass has been on the regular

that and they are indisputable.
McGraw himself mas been so dis
gusted with the players work many
times that he has frequently de-
SPARED of him altogether and
threatened tao lay him off, but still
he kept him in the lineup.
The results, gained by McGraw as
manager of the Giants possibly
should exempt him from criticism

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-Fred
" Snodgrass will be a member
of the Giants next year. This
was the declaration made by Man
ager John j. McGraw, of the
Giants, last night.
Instead of roasting the player,
who has been the most reviled of
any who ever played the game of
baseball, McGraw spread the salve
thicker over Snodgrass by saying;
Il do not blame Snodgrass for
making the muff that lost the
Giants. the worlds championship
Any player is liable to make an err
ror. Snodgrass helped to win the
National league pennant, ana he
will be Giant again next sea
SON."
SnodgraSs. when he arrived home
in Los Angeles. Cal, a day or so
ago, is said to have stated. Il was
frozen to the marrow when / muff-
ed the ball"
1t is an odds -on bet that Nc
Graw, while sitting on the bench
at Fenway park. in Boston, did not
have in mind to ask Snodgrass to
sign a new contract for next year
not at an increased salary, any
how.
On the contrary, | will wager
there was a blue flame of BIAS
phemy that would have set fire to
an asbestos contract and melted
Snodgrass frozen marrow into a
yellow pea soup
And that is why all one sees and
hears on the stage is not really
real.
McGraw Held on to MerkIe.
McGraw held on to Merkle after
the historical incident where Fred's
failure" to touch second lost the
Giants a worlds series, and Mer-
kle's work since that time has
proved McGraw's judgment to be
all to the good, with the excep-
ton of a play in the last game of
this seasons worlds series, the
same contest and inning in which
Snodgrass made the muff that as
sures him another engagement with
the Giants.
1t would appear. therefore, that
the best recommendation any play
er under McGraw has to hold his
job is to make some bone play that
loses the most important series that
can be played and thereby arouses
the general condemnation of the
metropolitan populace.
There is nothing, perhaps, so ap-
pealing to the big majority of right
minded and level-headed people as
for one in authority. a big man. to
stick to his old friend through thick

mirable trait, McGraw has it, be

down, for the conduct of players.
Was Cause of Attack on Lynch.
This last season he did. as is
matter of baseball history, and it
. was his suspension that caused
both President Murphy and Man
ager Chance to unjustly accuse
President Lynch, of the National
league, of being unduly prejudiced
against the Chicago club.
AS matter of fact, though. the
cubs were used more lenientIy than
any other team in the league. and
President Lynch was forced to take
a defensive position on that ac-
count
Now. the question naturally
arises, is Evers so constituted in

More Money in Advertised Goods

A prominent retailer, in addressing
a convention of dealers, stated that he
found there is more trade, more money
and more satisfaction in pushing adver-
tised goods than unknown brands, says
Harness World.
He prefers them for the very good
reason that he saves expense in his sell
ing organization, and saves a lot of
trouble, too. Advertised goods are half
sold because the buyer knows of their
quality and the guaranty accompanying
them, and it is not necessary to con-
vince him by long explanation on this
point.
The guaranty is a very valuable fac
tor, and it should be played upon by
the retailer. If you buy unknown
brands, and the jobber will not stand
behind you, there is a natural timidity
in guaranteeing satisfaction when you
will have to make good from your own
pocket if the goods are not good.
But when the advertising manufac-
turer guarantees his goods, you can
then guarantee them to your customers
without assuming sany responsibility OF
loss thereby, for the manufactures
stands behind you to make good on his
guaranty.

MEMORY IN CHILDREN
GENERALIZATION OF BRAIN A
SERIOUS MISTAKE.
intellectual Development Largely a
Matter of Environment-Preco-
clous Infant Rarely Makes
Good Early Promises.

Much to the easement of our social
amenities, the precocious child has
gone out of fashion. No longer have
we to stifle yawns and to smile while
our fingers Jingle from a desire to
smack as a baby prodigy recites
Shakespeare or gives impromptu
sscale-practice on the piano.
In fact, the tendency is the other
way; we are on the upswell of Rous-
seau movement and the dear babies
are being turned out to do gardening
and to cultivate powers of observa-
tion apart from books and pen and
ink; the nursery has become a me-
nagerie and botanical museum, and
that her boy or girl of seven is ig-
norant of the alphabet is the latest
and proudest boast of the loving
mother
A change all to the good, surely, did
1t not seemingly take as much time,
trouble and teaching to keep up con-
dition of book ignorance as of book
knowledge
What is considered brain develop
ment in child is nearly always a
matter of memory and adaptability
Just a parrot-like quality strongly de-
veloped The child just remembers
and initiates
One has this shown very clearly In
the historical records of royalties.
Where the young prince or princess
has, through the pressure Of state af-
fairs, been obliged to live surrounded
by diplomatists and ministers, the
child has picked up the jargon in the
most astonishing fashion
Have we it not on record that when
Mary, Queen of Scots, as a child OF
eight years, met her mother at Rouen,
the little queens reply to the ma
ternal caresses was the inquiry:
What factions continued to exist in
the noble families of Scotland?" and
whether the English still harassed
her native country; whether worship
remained pure ana the prelates and
clergy did their duty?'
At eleven she quotes Plutarch, and
at twelve she writes an essay on the
.demeanor and duties of princes
.couched in the language of an elderly
statesman. Yet, though brilliant
woman, who can say that Mary stu
arts later life was remarkable in Wis
dom and diplomacy? Her precocitS
was just the repetition of the sentl
ments and expressions she hear1
about her.
And might not one hazard the opin
ion that the weighing of the memory
destroys other faculties and gives
reason why the precocious child Sc
early becomes a distinct rocket-lt'
light and fizzle and glare all ended be
fore maturity is reached. Perhaps
1t is this consciousness which makes
