in players.
Roger is not as popular here as
Murphy hoped he would be. Evers is
not very friendly to him, and the
fans cannot see him stacked beside
JIM Archer as receiver. Bresnahan
did wonderful work with the young
pitchers of the Cub staff during the
season of 1913, and was in large
measure responsible for the good
showing of Bert HUMPHREYS and
George Pierce.
Murphy may figure that these boys
have learned enough of the rudi-
ments of the game to get along with
out Bresnahan's help now. They can
turn in a good account of themselves
when pitching to Archer. Tom Need
ham is also around, and, though Tom
is through as a regular, he has seen
long experience, and carries an old
head on his shoulders. He can prep
kid pitchers.
The general belief that Bresnahan
was to become manager of the Cubs
has been killed by the signing of Ev-
ers for 1914. John made a decent
showing with the team last year, and
there is no reason to shift. He gave
satisfaction, and prospects are he will
do as good, if not better, in the future.
Young catchers are needed on the
West Side. All three members of last
years regular staff are veterans, and
Archer is the only one who can be
counted on for daily work. Bresna-
han still has excellent baseball left
in him, but he would be willing to
quit and take a bench job as man
ager.
The time has come to rebuild the
Cub backstop corps. At least one
veteran must go to make room for
the new blood. Bubbles Hargrove
joined the team late in the season,
and seems to have the groundwork
of good receiver. An effort will be
