Tooley, however, is a great ball
player, and Stallings will make no
mistake if he obtains him.

Stallings expects great things from

the youngster is lacking in experience

will be held for utility duty if STALL

the improved showing the Tigers

more double plays than any other
shortstop which the Tigers have had

PITTSBURGH RIDlcULES
BRESNAHAN'S SIGNING

PITTSBURGH, Nan. 9.-The story
to the effect that Roger Bresnahan
has agreed to become a catcher fer
the Chicago Cubs is given little cred
ence here. Roger is regarded as good
a press agent as Frank Chance.
Roger may sign a Chicago contract
eventually, but even this is doubted
here. Secretary Will H. Locke, of
the Pirates, says he knows nothing
of the Bresnahan affair. Barney
Dreyfuss will be home today and will
probably say something.
1t is reported here that Bresnahan
will meet Fred Clarke in st. Louis
next week. During the New York
meeting last month Bresnahan prac-
tically promised Clarke he would sign
with the Pirates immediately after
he had settled with the st. Louis
management. If he has changed his
mind he has not Informed the Pirate
manager.
But the belief here is that Roger
is keeping himself in the high-priced
zone as long as he can without any
cost to himself.
