Bresnahan Goes to Cubs.

Chicago. Jan. Roger Bresnahan will
wear a Chicago National baseball uniform
next season, it was announced here by
Charles w. Murphy, president of the club.
Murphy was so much pleased with the
fact he said Roger would add 10 per cent
to the Strenth of the team. He is a great
acquisition said Murphy. Il won't say
what salary Bresnahan is going to get,
but 1 had to outbid Dreyfuss, of Pitts
burg, and that shows what others think of
Bresnahan.''
Roger will come to the Cubs with his
pockets lined with the cash compromise
he received to throw up his contract with
the St. Louis club.

office, made an incision just below his

WH0FkNNED MOST
White Elephants Strike Out
FeWest Number of Times.
Red SOX HitterS Missed Third
Strike on $50 Occasions.

Had Hugh Chalmers offered an
automobile to the American League
player of 1912 who struck out the
least frequently, the man who would
have won the car would in all prob
ability have been a member of the
White Elephants. 1t is a certainty
that neither the St. Louis club, wllic h
finished next to the bottom or the
Washingt on team, = which finished next
to the top, would have claimed the
winner, for these two combinations
possessed the ablest missers in the
Junior organization. The Browns
struck out 1888 times in ISL games and
the Senators did the Gus Hill act on
151 occasions in 154 contests.
The White SoX were the third cas-
lest team to fan, they whiting on 645
occasions. The Tigers were retired on
strikes 604 times; the HighlanderS and
the Red SoX, 5S5 times; the Maps, 571
times and the White Elephants, 562
times. The club records of strike outs
We're kept last season, but the individ-
ual records were not though they will
be in the coming campaign, and then
fans will be able to learn who was
the hardest man to retire on strikes.
When Napoleon Lajoie was in his
prime he seldom struck out more than
ten times season and last year he
wasn't Whitfield very often. Harry Da-
Wis, who led the American League in
home runs for several seasons, was
on the contrary, frequently striking
out. Russell Ford of New York once
made Connie Mack's once first lieu
tenant hit nothing but the air. four
times in one game.
Ty Cobb does not strike out very
frequently, and when he does miss
three in a row more than once in a
game, it generally will be found that
some left handler is opposing the Tig-
ers. Back in 1910 Jim Vaughn famed
the Dixie Demon, who had mono
poly on winning the Chalmers Trophy
until last season, three times in one
game.
The greatest number of strike outs
registered in an American League
contest last season was Is, Coombs
Brown and Penneck of the White Fle-
plants claiming this number of VIC
Tins among the Detroit Strike Break
ers on May IS. In this contest the
Michigan team was routed, "a to 2

but he was poorly supported and lost
his game, to 2. Thirteen strike outs
were claimed by Scott of Chicago in
a Is inning game against St. Louis on
April 20, and by Walter johnson of
Washington against Boston on Nav 80.
Mcconnell of New York set down a
dozen of the Browns on strikes on
July 10.

number of times the American League
teams were retired on strikes last sea

Hartman Lines Place Big LO-
connective Order.
GROSS EARNINGS ARE HIGH
Santa Fe Exceeds $1O,OOO,OOO
for Three Months.
Other Items of Interest in the
Traffic World.

Further evidence of the prosperity
of the western railroads and the pre-
parations being made for even greater
prosperity and increasing business is
given in the placing by the Hartman
lines last week of order for about
S5,00O,000 worth of locomotives, de-
liveries to be begun in April.
The order comprises 246 locomotives
of various types, the average cost of
which. will be about $4,000. Of this
number, 20 locomotives are to be used
on the Union Pacific and oregon snort
Line. The Union Pacific and other
Hartman lines have placed large or
months, the total cost of which, in
Guiding the order placed last week.
will be above s10,000,000.
Reports being filed monthly with
the interstate commerce commission
show that all the western roads are
showing large gains in business ham
died and in earnings over correspond
ing months of last year, and most OF
them are showing larger earnings than
ever before. The Santa Fe's gross
earnings have been above $10'000,00O
for three separate months since the
beginning of the present fiscal year
and have made new high records for
four months. The total gross earnings
of the road for the first six months
of the f Il year are about $1,000, 900
in excess of the gross for the cor
responding months of 1911.
The earnings of the Burlington,
Rock Island, Missouri Pacific and the
Hartman lines have also been far in
excess of those of the previous year.
The amount of freight business
moving in the west at the present time
IS greater than it has been at this
season of the year since 1905 and in
MANY cases the greatest on record

Chicago, Jan. An early edition of
an afternoon paper prints an extended
interview with Frank Chance in which
not appear in baseball this season and
that his purpose in coming to Chicago
was to explain fully his attitude to
Frank Farrell who wants the former
leader of the Chicago Nationals to
manage the New York club of the
American League.

ment train which is bringing him to
Chicago. The train was reported sew
eral hours late, having been DELAYED
by the storm.

for a year to care for his California
orange ranch, about which he is very
enthusiastic.
Chance Says He Has Quit.
Frank Chance arrived here this af-
ternoon and confirmed the statement
that he will not engage in baseball
next season. The killing frost on the
coast yesterday, he said, made if all
the more necessary for him to snend a
year on his fruit ranch at Glendora,
Cal.
Frank Farrell, owner of the New
York League club, preceded Chance
by an hour but declined to discuss
the affair until he had talked with the
latter.
