Our International Leaguers.

Just about one year ago at this time
the New York newspapers were filled
with glowing accounts of the recruits
from the International League who were
going to help make baseball history in
and about Manhattan Island. The
Yankees had a world beater in Pitcher
George Mcconnell, of Rochester: the
Giants were going to sweep everything
before them with Big jeff Tesreau, for
merly of Toronto, while in Moran the
speedy outfielder of the Rochester 1911
Grub, Brooklyn had picked up a sure
enough find.
OF this bunch Mcconnell was very
much of a frost. Moran had only a fair
season with Brooklyn, but Tesreau did
come through in good shape for the
Giants.
These same New York papers had moth
ing to say about the Nationals recruits,
Moeller and Foster, except to mention
that both had been up once and sent
back. At that time Chick Gandil was
still the property of the Montreal club.
having escaped the draft by some hook
or crook.
Foster and Moeller made coed right
from the jump, and when Chick Gandil
was purchased after the season had run
a month the Nationals had a ball club
that made the entire United States wake
up and take notice.
Some class to our former International
League recruits, Ell fans?
Just watch this trio shine during the
coming season.

How Bresnahan Finished.

Bresnahan's troubles at st. Louis have
furnished fund of novel tales pertain
ing to baseball.
His finish as manager of the st. Louis
team was no less shocking than spec
tacular.
The Cardinals had won the last game
of the series with the Browns. Grimy
with perspiration and dust, Roger was
strolfing toward the bench with head
down. but much joy written on his face.
Nudged by one of his team mates he
looked up to see Mrs. Britton beckoning
him to approach her box. He approached
and her white kid-gloved hand grasped
his soied mitt. She congratulated him
prUfusely.
A couple of days later he was called
TO the office. His opinion regarding
spring training plans, salaries that
should be offered, &c, was asked That
matter finished, he was gently informed
that his career as manager of the team
was ended.
Roger gasped. That was all. II took
him several hours to draw a comfortable
breath.

In discussing Acosta, the Havana news

Chance to Be an Author.

Without divulging any state secrets,
it may be stated on good authority that
just as soon as Frank Chance gets into
New York this spring he will join the
Christy Mathewson school of journalism.
Hitherto the Peerless Leader has been
content to manage ball clubs and make
two oranges more or less grow where
but one grew before. That went all
right while he was in Chicago. but now
as he moves into the effete East, the de-
sire to be in vogue and stylish, so to
speak, has him by the throttle. In an
announcement from the Cub Ranch in
Glendora, the home of the Yank leader.
he heralds himself as a coming scribe,
full of the fire of the Cub" so to speak,
and ready to devote his trenchant pen
to the more or less lucrative business
of inside baseball secrets. Frank will
manage the New Yorks with one hand.
II is to be supposed, and write his ar
ticles with the other.
Welcome to our midst Francois. One

parture proves or disproves the rumor
that too many bean balls had done their

FEW BETS MADE ON FILLY

Special to The Washington Herald.
Juarez. Mex, Feb. Little Bit. a two
year-old bay filly owned by w. H. Fizer
& Co. furnished a genuine surprise this
afternoon when she defeated big band
of maiden youngsters in the opening ash
with the remunerativc odds of 100 to /
against her chances. This was the flly's
first start at the meeting and only a few
who were aware of her first workouts
wagered on her. As it was. there were
only a few scattering 81 bets to win.
while a few others bet on the filly TO
show. Owner Fizer was one of the lat
ter, as he didn't believe his filly could
beat Estrella, the hot favorite.

shot there was little to characterize the
rather ordinary card. which was given
