that ever played the game. For sew
erai years he was one of the main
But in 1908 he was traded to, St.
Louis for RED" Murray, Admiral"
Schlei, and the hapless Bugs" Ray
mond. He was with the Cardinals but
short time when he was appointed
manager. Something over a year ago.
shortly after the death of Stanley Rob-
inson, Mrs. Britton fell heir to the
club, and he signed his present con-
tract with her.
There are few men in the game who
have greater host of admirers, both
ON and Off the diamond than Bres-
nahan. And the critics OF the game
affirm that 1t was he alone who lifted
the Cardinals out of the last hole,
and moulded them into n team of
the first rank. While acting as man
ager of the Cardinals he was also the
catcher of the team. in which station
he has always displayed a wonderful
amount OF grey matter" He has
been very effective as a trainer of
young pitchers, for as a keen student
OF the batting methods OF his rivals
he has been enabled to direct his
pitchers to shoot at the most vulnera-
BILE spots in the opponents. His
ability to make a bullet-like peg to
the bases has made him a thorn in
the sides OF baserunners. In shore,
he Is one OF the best all-around play
ers In the game.

NEW YORK, Dec. whether the
contract held by Roger Bresnahan,
manager of the st. Louis Cardinals,
which has three more years TO run,
will be upheld by the board Of direc-
tors of the National league, or that
Mrs. Helen Britton, owner of the st.
Louis team, VIII DE sustained in her
action In disnissing Bresnahan. VIII
be determined tomorrow when the
board of directors meet here.
Bresnahan hnlde two contracts with
Mrs. Britton. or. is the usual play
er's contract, the other a managers
contract. calling for salary of $780,
900 a year, and 10 per cent of the
net earnings of the club. The latter
was for a term Of four years, and
now. after Il lapse NJ one year. Mrs.
Rritton has nonchallantly dismissed
her manager with the brief, feminine,
explanation that Bresnahans man
agerial regime did not seem to add
TO the clubs Golfers. Mrs Britton
and President Jones. of the ST. Louis
club. have further complained that
Bresnahan has been a sort OF bull
in a china closet: that he had work
ed at cross purposes with the own
ers of the club, and had incurred
the displeasure, II not the open enmity
Of his team by driving them too
hard" Another thing they complain
Of In Roger Is that he strove all last
season 70 dispose OF Higgins, which
was another hone OF contention be-
tween the manager and Mrs. Britton.
Last October Bresnahan was called
to a conference with President Jones
and Mrs. Brtton. when they offered
him a sum OF money to relinQuish
his contract. He refused to accept
their terms. A few days later. Mrs.
Pritton served notice on Roger that
his contract as manager Of the club
was terminated
At that time Bresnahan announced
his determination to stand on his
right" as he termed them, and fight
the matter out to the grim finish. II
Is. therefore, more than likely that
II the directors do not decide In his
favor he will appeal to the national
commission. Should the commission
turn him down. he will then seek re-
dress through the courts.
That he win ever again act a. man
ager OF the st. Louis Cardinals, OF
course. is out OF the question. But
there are many. who believe that he
can hold the owners OF tho st. Louis
team to the terms OF his contract.

Automobile Signs
Now Point Route
in Desert Lands

After many months of planning and
preparation. the Automobile Club OF
Southern California. in conjunction
with the State authorities. has be-
gun the work OF making clearly de-
fined pathways through such sections
of the desert lands of the State as
motorists are likely to traverse. This
will consist of SO placing adequate
signs every five miles that the auto
niohilist will at all times know just
where and how to travel.
At present. there are 2,s7e miles
of desert roads in the counties OF
Kern, Inyo, San Bernardino, River
side. Imperial. San Diego and Los
Angeles. The deserts which these
roads traverse are the Moiave. Death
Valley, Chuckawaila and Imperial.
The latter should not be COMPOUNDED
with the fertile and prosperous I'm
perial Valley.
Heretofore, in all these sections of
desert country there have only been
some fifty signs for motorists, these
principally In San Bernartfino couu-
ty. Few OF these signs are of any
value to the motorlst today. for the
somewhat unusual reason that they
have been used as targets by various
persons passing, and have been So
SIiot sup dS ~ UC liuoSt uAuS-
cipherable.
The purpose of the new signs Is not
only to direct the motorist along the
right road. but to tell him where he
can find nearby springs and water
roles. directions AZ to locating these
being explicit.
These signs win be eighteen inches

Almy, who is % years old, and the
son of Frederick l.. Almy, wealthy
New York wooden merchant, wearied
of social affairs and began to learn
railroading from the bottom up two
years ago. Some of his fellow en-
ployees cracked jokes at his expense,

a wild nights run, and to-day began
to reap the reward of his persist

It will now be his task to keep the

Many congratulations poured'in upon
him from relatives and friends.

Hebert May be Tried.

Columbia, Jan. &c. j. Heber1
will very probably be brought from
Chattanooga to this State to answer
a charge of conspiracy to cheat ano
defraud and obtain money under
false pretenses," in connection with
the late Seminole Securities Comga'
nv. According to a dispatch from
Chattanooga, Judge S. D. Mickey
nolds held that Hebert is fugitive
from Justice from South Carolina
The petition for writ of habeas
corpus was dismissed and it was or
dered that Hebert be remanded tc
the South Carolina authorities.
The indictment of G. J. Heber1
grew out of the zeal whereby the
Seminole Securities Company, organ
lied by John Y. Darlington, procur'
ed the stocks of the Southern Life
Insurance Company, of Fayetteville
N. c., at what was declared to be al
exorbitant price, Hebert and Gar
lington were indicted in connection
with the deal, which, it is charged
Hebert conducted.
It is expected that Hebert will be
brought back to South Carolina anc
that he will be placed on trial in the
Richland county court at the mex
session.

Washington, Jan. 26.-Representa-

aiming to prohibit gambling in fu-

ducts, by restricting the Interstate
transmission of messages relating to
such transactions under heavy penal
ties. Similar bills were introduced
the same day by Representatives
Mays, of Florida; Goodwin, of North
Carolina, and Oldield, of Arkansas.
A measure of this kind passed the
house at the last session, but did
not get through the senate. The de-
