RED S0x MASCOT
 WILL RESIGN JOB

Boston, Oct. 23.-After the season of 1913. Jerry Mccarthy, the Red Sox mascot, will ask for his unconditional release from the Red Sox club. Jerry mas been contemplating this move for some time, and figures that he is get tlng along so well in the English high school that after another season his studies will be such that he will be unable to sling bats any longer for the Sox.
 However, Jerry does not intend that the mascoting job shall pass out of the family of Mccarthy. Jerry has a younger brother, Nellie, who is the leading candidate for the job, and if Jerrys recommendation counts for anything the younger Mccarthy will hold down the position in 1914.
 Nellie, the 9-year-old brother, is not like Jerry. He prefers to be alone and when he is in company with boys of his own age he is generally mixed up in some prank. He is keep after the position, as are about 2,0O0 or more boys around Boston, but when Jerry Is ready to drop the Red Sox uniform for good. he will find his brother in line to don it for baseball duty.

 There seems to be some mistake as to the name of the institution which Tost compIains of, according to the coaches at Penn.

BRESNAHAN OPPOSED FROM
 ST. LOUIS TEAM MANAGEMENT
Rumor That He May be Traded to Brooklyn 1 For Nap Fucker

St. Louis, Oct 28-Th ere was a big baseball explosion here yesterday when Roger Bresnahan, whose contract
 has four more years to run, was sum
 marily and internationally and every other way .ecanned'' as manager of the
 St. Louis Cardinals by President Jandes c. Jones, chief executive of the club
 After the Board of Directors of the club decided to remove Bresnahan, President Jones sent for the player
 manager and said:
 You, can have your lnconditional release or a, cash settlement.
 eitherf'' inquired Breenahan.
 Then you can 1itigate,'' replied Jones. The ball club is through with you. We want to be fair and are will ing to do the right thing
 The above is the substance of the in- terview between Bresnahan and Jones, according to the president of the Car dina1s.
 s.RDser is a regular bull in a china el1op." said Jones. Things have gone from bad to worse under his adminis- ,tratiOn. The club had most uneatfs- factory season financially this year. Bresnahan has been at 1oggerheads all season with Mrs. Brftton, principal omrposee o % e of the u tims @ With oF6is 6is players. The players complain that he has been riding them too hard. The team fell behind it's 1911 record in club standing and Spercentage.
 Roger has had an insane desire to get rid of Miller HusE1ns. ana conn plained that Mrs. Britton was interfer- ing with his prerogat lives as manager when she refused to sanction several trades Involving the transfer of Hug gins.
 tsI told him that he nor any other official of the club would be permitted to dispose of the assets of the con- cern without the full approval Of the dir rectors. Husgins is a valuable asset. and no trade that did not meet with the entire approval of the men reSpon- stble for the conduct of the property could be put through by Breenahan or any other individual connected with the club.''
 President Jones offer to release azneonditionally isene small matter. When M. Stanley Robison cQuired Bresnahan from the New York Giants in 1909 he exchanged $50.- poo worth. of players for the player St. Louis traded ffBugs'' Jack Murray, Arthur Fromme and Eddie Karger for Bresna- han. .F.romme and Karger went to Gin cinnati for Catcher s.Ad1niral'' Schlei, who was passed to New York with Raymond and Murray.

BOMBARDIER WELLS
 COMING TO THIS COUNTRY

Bombardier Wells, England's heavy weight champion has announced Chat he is to sail in a week or two for thls country. He hopes to be able to strengthen the impression followers o9 boxing on this side of the water have of his prowess. and, of course. gathag in some money
 When he makes his reappearanca here he will find plenty of work to do, provided he does not demand more than his services are worth. On the eve of his departure from this country Wells was given a. royal seud-on. which included a banquet at which he was Iauded in glowing terms for hig skill and sportsmanship. Quite pos sibly his opinion of his worth was con siderably enhanced by all this praias and he may be disposed to make eqEr. tai of it when negotiating for matotf1 over nere.
 But while EngIand's champion is e fine boxer he is not likely to work much havoc among the men he win be called upon to meet. Unless he has gained in stamina to a surprfsinH degree during his stay in England he will not be a good bet with any ono of several of our burly white hopes who can take punch as well as giv1 one, even if they can't box much.

 then paSs the "AdmiraP' over to the Giants. V,he deal was made and Bres- nahan came to St. Louis, replacing J.
 J. McCloskey as manager of the team Bresrahan took team that finished last in 1908 and ran seventh with it l in 1909. He also finished seventh with l the club in 1910 and boosted the team | into fifth place last year This year the Cards went back under Bresnahan, finishing sixth Cincinnati, a. team that ran behind the Cardinals last year, finished ahead of the St. Louis team this season. It was a big set back for Bresnahan.
 Roger still is the property of the St Louis Nationals, but what disposition the club will make of him remains to be seen. He refused his unconditional release. If he had accepted Jones' offer he would have been free agent and could have marketed his own ser vices as a player or manager to the highest bidder
 In answer to question as to whether he had been served with mo- tice that his services were required no longer, Bresnahan said:
 'I have a contract with the Cardi- na1s which has -four years to run. will make every effort to force the club owners to live up to their end of it. [ have fulfilled all my obligations to the club and will expect the club EO IulItkt us ODl18tkt1OAtS tO 11AC-

 1t is said on good authority that Miller Huggins. a member Of the team, will succeed Bresnahan as manager. but 1t is known Cincinnati and Brook lyn are after Huggins, and he may be traded a
 It also is said Breenahan may be traded to Brooklyn for Ra1cker, and, again, that Frank Chance of the Cubs may be obtained by trade to lead the Cardinals In any event, the Cardinals are so stirred by inward strife many changes will probably be made.
 Bresnahan recently said that in 1909. 1910 and 1911 under his management the club earned $227O00.

 It is expected that special prayers for the sufferers will be offered, a5 well as mention being made in short addresses of this deadly scourge which is ravaging the country. as Rev. J. R.

 The first new player signed by the Bridgeport management in an effort to build up the team for 1913 is Benny Nissan of Newbrugh, N.. Y. Benny is a pitcher and stands six feet with out his Rega1s. He was recomm end- ed. by Chief Snyder, who formerly lived in Newburgh, and knows all the promising baseball material
 The boys who write funny pieces for the papers will take quite fall out of Benny's fancy name. You can just imagine SIapper Sam Kennedy at the head of his Waterbury warriors, shouting sKiss enc on this Kissan guy. When Benny comes to bat the Bridgeport rooters will yell "Get in there and kiss it. Kissam." The new pitcher made a big record with inde- pendent teams in the Hudson River Valley last season. It was a regu- lar thing for him to fan 20 men in a game. The many changes in the manage ment of National League clubs are keeping the Baseball fans guessing just now. The Chicago Cubs will appar- entity furnish most of the material for
