WHY BRESNAHAN WAS DROPPED AS MANAGER OF ST. LOUIS TEAM Was Drawing sIO,OOO Salary and Huggns
 Can be Secured For $6,OOO

St. Louis, Oct 25-Why was Roger Bresnahan fired? Baseball fans who swore allegiance to the former Car dinal manager are trying to answer this question
 However, those close to the 4sinner circle'' of the Cardinal club say Bres- nahan was dismissed because his con- tract called for too much money.
 The writer is able positively to state that Bresnahans contract cailedf for $10,O00 per annum and 10 per cent of the net profits. In addition, stipula- tions were made in Rogers contract nal club should receive not more than 10000 in salaries.
 That is, if Mrs. Helen Britton chose to hire a president, secretary, treas urer, groundkeeper, stenographer, press agent and a few lawyers, she couIdn't t disburse more than $10,O00 among the whole retinue of servants That's where the rub came.
 It is understood that Herman See kanp. the treasurer and business man ager of the club received 5000 a year. That left only $5.O00 to be split up between Stenographer Dayiee, Ground keeper Shaner and his assistants and the attorneys. If Mrs. Britton elected to pay out more than $1O,000 to all her help she was obliged under the terms of Bresnahan's contract to charge this against her own account. That is Besnahan would collect his 10 per cent of the net profits before any amount in excess of $100O0 for salaries had ings-
 Of course. there was bound to be hitch here Attorney fees alone for the Cardinal club Tn the past year

Duffy got over few hard slaps to

Duffy got over a few hard slaps to Britton's head, and these proved the signal for the Chicagoan to slow up. He showed no disposition at any time to go in and exchange punches with the Boston boy, and in overcautious- ness on defense did much to make the bout appear slow. Britton was generally on his way back when he got. over a punch. and on a few oc- Ecasions, when he jarred Duffy with a hard punch, he was slow to follow up his advantage, evidently fearing that Duffy would get over a swing as he rushed in. In the last round it seemed that Duffy was due for a knockdown or a knockout, but Brit ton, when his chance for a decisive ending was best, was unable to hit his opponent. He missed almost a dozen hard swings in succession in the clos ing round.
 Jim Savage got his chance to "come back in the six-round semi-final and he made the most of his opportunity iby finishing the bout in a round. His victory was not an Impressive one however, as his opponent did not act like a seasoned boxer. Savage was 1satched to oppose one Fighting Heating failed to put in an appear ance. Al substitute named McKenna, was put on in Keating's place He was outweighed by about twenty pounds and was no match for Savage, who can box like a champion when not hard pressed. Savage tore after McKenna as soon as they had shak- en hands and there was no 1et-up until he had McKenna down and so com pletely Out-classed that Referee Young Corbett waved both men to their cor ners.

CONNIE MACK WAS
 HELP TO RED SOX
Capt. Wagner Says Athletics Manager Gave Good Tips
 on Giants

Philadelphia oct. 25.-Captain Heine Wagner Of the Red Sox, in a letter written to Philadelphia friends, who had congratulated him on the fact that he led the sox to the world cham pionship, gives Connie Mack credit for the championship going to Boston.
 Before the world series,' writes Wagner, Connie was asked to talk to us about the Giants and how we had to play to beat them. Connie did talk to us, and told Of the Giants strong points and their weak points and what we had to do to beat them. He told US more in 10 minutes than all our scouts discovered by watching several weeks, and all we could have learned about them ourselves in a year. doubt if we could have beaten New York without the knowledge that Mack put into us.''
 During the last series that the Red Sox played the Athletics in Philadel-. phia, Connie Mack spent every spare minute on the Red Sox bench and yis- ited Jake Stahl and Heine wagner Tn their hotel The astute Connie was giving the Red Sox pilots all of the pointers about the Giants and their play that he had picked up during the world series last year.

(By Wagner.1

The latest tactics to defeat Uncle Jeems ORourke for reelection to the presidency of the Connecticut League are trades in votes. At the next meet ing of the league directors in two new cities will probably be admitted, and it is said that Dan O'Neil and Jim vote in favor of admitting them to the league if the applicants will vote against O,Rourke. Just how this will work is, not known, but it is believed that the effort to oust O'Rourke will be a. failure.
 Local enthusiasts are showing great interest in the fight Nate Wheeler of this city is making for place on the Yale football eleven. As the Son of S.. H. Wheeler, the youngster is well known here. He played on his class teams but this is his first year as a candidate for Varsity honors and his rise from the fourth eleven to the first team has been sensational

Jack Britton of Chicago outpointed Freddie Duffy of Boston over the ten round route in the feature bout at the F'orty-fourth Street Sporting club, New York. last night, without mak- ing an unusual showing as a clever boxer. The Chicagoan missed his swings from start to finish, some times by the margin of a foot or two.
 But he showed more cleverness than Duffy, swho relied mostly on long left swing and at the finish Britton led on points with plenty to spare. Britton weighed 139 3-4 pounds, and
 Duffy was one-haf pound below this

 spion in New Orleans. Nov. 4.

When Ad WoIgast climbs into the ring with Joe Mandot at New Orleans on Nov f the lightweight champion will observe in the opposite corner a familiar face presiding over Anandot's s preparations for battle. Hobo Dough- erty, who has trained Wolgast for his bouts ever since he has been in the ring, has deserted and gone over to the enemy A few months ago the pair quarrel1ed over money matters and Dougherty, feeling himself i'll used, severed his connection with the light weight champion.
 Now Dougherty has joined forces with Mandot with the expressed inten- ton of humb1ing his former friend by bringing about his defeat if possible. Domgherty is thoroughly ring-wise and was always a great help to Wolgast. Mandot has welcomed his assistance, as he will be able to offer good advice on how to take advantage of the champions weaw points.
