WOULD
BE BACK ON CARDS

CHICAGO, June 6.-Roger Bresnahan
admits that he made one of the biggest
mistakes any player ever turned In
baseball, and wishes that he was back
IN St Louis and managing the Cardin-
ais Having a five-year contract at a
salary OF $1,000 per season, together
with an additional clause Of pulling
down 10 per cent of the annual profits.
Roger lad what many players say was
the best job in baseball.
And now a mere second string catch
er for the Chicago Cubs. Roger is be-
ginning TO realize what he tossed aside.
Yesterday the ex-boss of the Cardinals
and several OF the players dined and
chatted The Cards were telling him
how good the team was going, and
d. ring the course OF the conversation
Bresnahan openly stated that he would
rather be back in St. Louis with the
Cardinals.
One of the players who was in the
session gave out the news that Roger
expressed the wish OF being again man
ager of the Cards. Apparently Rog S
icl. with the Cubs and taking instruc-
tions from Johnny Evers is not the hap
ptest in the game.
When Bresnahan Joined the Cubs
after settling with the Cards, il was
reported all around that by July he
would step into John Eyers' shoes as
manager Of the Cubs. In fact, il was
rumored around the circuit that Muir
ply secured Roger for this purpose IL

Raymond Cutie CarviIle Morgan is
due to return to the line of battle to-
day. relieving "Dstch" Schaefer at sec
and base, and adding considerable TO
the offensive strength of the team.
Now only "Fateem'' Foster remains to
get into the game and aid in the uplift
movement.
When injured in Philadelphia Morgan
was averaging a percentage of 800 in
reaching first base safely, and this is
bound TO be felt in the future work OF
the Griffmen. The Baltimo' boy has
more speed in the field and on the
bases than the veteran Schaefer. and.
too, his aggressiveness is certain to be
felt. His wounded wrist has recovered
sufficiently now for him to attempt to
play again, and Manager Griffith is
wasting no time in sending him in.

So far Archer has been doing pretty

Spick Hall in the Philadelphia Times:
In the past Ty Cobb has been

trailed along the floor like a kings
train; and on this cloak was en-
broidered, in gold letters, which every
one read and repeated aloud, Don't

Then one, greatly daring. did try to
touch him but skeleton
hand shot out OF a crimson sleeve
and violently seized the rash ones
wrist; and he, feeling the clutch OF
the knucklebones, the furious grasp
of Death, uttered a cry of pain and
terror. When Red Death released him
at last, he ran away like very mad
man, pursued by the jeers OF the by
ISLANDERS.
It was at this moment that Raoui

exclaimed:

He had recognized him. He
wanted to dart forward, forgetting
Christine; but the black domino, who
also seemed prey to some strange
excitement, caught him by the arm
and dragged him from the crush-room,
far from the mad crowd through which
Red Death was stalking.
The black domino kept on turning
back and, apparently, on two occa-
sions saw something that startled
her, for she hurried her pace and

pursued.
They went up two floors. Here, the

REALLY A SOUND INVESTMENT
Sanatorium Where the tuberculosis
May Be Cured Is Worth Much to
Any State or City.

DR.. II. L. Barnes, superintendent of
the Rhode Island State sanatorium.
has recently demonstrated by some in
teresting studies of patients discharg-
ed as apparently cured" from that in
stltution. that a sanatorium is a sound
investment for any state or city. The
gross earnings of ITO ex-patients OBJ
tanned in 1911 amounted to S102,752,
and those of 211 cases in 1912 to S112,-
OIL. By applying the same average
earning to all ex-patients of the sana-
forum living in 1911 and 1912, DIR.
Barnes concludes that their income in
these two years was 1851, 600 This
sum is more than three times the cost
of maintenance of the sanatorium in
Guiding interest at 4 per cent. on the
original investment and depreciation
charges. DR.. Barnes concludes, how
ever, while institutions for the cure
of tuberculosis are good investments,
there is good reason for thinking that
institutions for the isolation of far ad-
vanced cases would be still better in
vestmeGts.'

also called to see a plumber who
was rendered helpless and almost I'M

amount Of the fumes is necessary to
cause helplessness and that there is
little or no warning Of danger in the
feeling Of the one affected.
