not good captain.
But EVers wanted the management
and thought he was entitled to it.
He got the chance and responsibility
threw him off his stride.- Bresnahan
tried to help, but Johnny wouldn't let
him.
In the meantime, under both EVers
and O'Day, Bresnahan went on doing
the best he could to help the Cubs
win. He didn't get much encourage
ment from the baseball writers and
fans at. first because Jimmy Archer
was their idol as backstop. p.
1t was only during the past season
that the excellent work of Bresnahan
began to be appreciated. The real
Bresnahan stuck out all over the
team and made itself felt, in spite of
some half-hearted work by certain
athletes. Murphy knew of this ability
of Bresnahan before he signed him.
He knew that Roger had fighting
spirit and would impart it to his mates
if given chance.
Roger is one of the wisest men in
baseball, He doesn't lose his head.
He doesn't talk much and he isn't
newspaper player. When he first
went to st. Louis to manage the Car
dinals the newspapermen didn't cot
ton to him because he didn't talk
much and didn't have much news to
give out. But all this was forgotten
when he pulled a second division team
into the thick of a pennant fight.
Bresnahan lost out in ST. Louis be-
cause he wouldn't double-cross Mrs.
Britton. Some men close to Mrs.
Britton wanted to get the club away
from her and wanted Roger to be in
on the deal. He turned them down.
He was working for the club and not
for any particular faction.
Then the men who were turned
down poisoned Mrs. Britton's mind
against the manager and he lost out

management and advised against
making any change while the club
was up in. the race, with O'Day doing
the best he could.
Now Murphy's riginaI plan has
been carried through. Roger is man
ager and the Cubs have one of the
cleVerest and fightingest players and
managers in baseball.
The offer made by the Wards of
Brooklyn to tempt Bresnahan to the
Federal League was $4,000 a year,
cash bonus for signing and a block
of stock in the third league team. But
Roger had a year to go on his Cub
contract and didn't want to Jump
either a contract or organized base
ball r..
Long before Fielder Jones took the
management of the st. Louis Feds
the job was offered to Bresnahan and
he turned it down.
The prospects are good for old
time baseball right here on the West
Side. The fans like man who loves
the game well enough to fight for
victory, and Bresnahan has the vital
spark which infuses his mates with
determination to win or make a game
effort in losing. With such spirit on
tap the fans will undoubtedly again
rally to the support of the Cubs, just
as in the days when pennants and
worlds championships were being
COPIED.
Then Murphy will be given credit
for being wiser than a lot of people
thought he was. He picked the Cub
manager three years ago.
At a meeting of the stockholders of
the Chifeds yesterday the capitaliza-
ton of the club was increased to
100000. 1t was discovered that on
the original capitalization of $780,
900 an investment of $4,000 had
been made, and the extra $150,000 in
stock was voted to the men who had

Demonstration in Court.

From twenty-five to fifty years in
Sing Sing, the limit for kidnapping
was the sentence imposed yesterday on
Pasquale Milone by Judge Grain, in
General Sessions. The court charac-
terized the prisoner as the brains OF

Vincenzo Acena from twenty to thirty
years. Six others are in the Tombs
awaiting trial for the kidnapping of
the boy.
The District Attorneys Office be-
leves that when the cases are COM
pleted the largest band of kidnappers
in New York in years will be broken
up.
The court was filed with relatives
and friends of the three convicted men.
They made a Representation when the
sentences were imposed, and court at
tendants quickly pushed them into the
corridors.
All Of the men sentenced were mar
ried
Testimony showed that Milone was
the director Of the plot 10 make away
with the boy, that Acena kept him in
his house and Malacuso was the go
between in the negotiations for his re-
turn.

FAILS DELINQUENT
Man Goes to Jail Despite Tale
of How Trustee Ran Away
with Big Estate.

William H. FOLKS excuse that he was
unable TO pay alimony to Mrs. Viola
Folz because the trustee of his fathers
estate had Incorporated 100000
was not accepted by Justice Seabury
yesterday. The justice committed Folz
to Ludlow st. Jail until he should pay
$500 slimony now due his wife.
Mrs. Folz obtained a separation about
two years ago, the court awarding her
Si5 a week alimony. The late Frederick
Folz, father of the defendant, left him
an income Of $1,000 a year, out of
which he paid the alimony, until
Frederick P. Forster. trustee of the
estate, disappeared. Folz then learned,
he said, that the trustee had walked
away with the entire property.
Folz also made the point that his
wife could not have authorized the mo-
tion for his punishment for contempt
since, Notwithstanding the separation
decree, he was living in her apartment,
and had been paying her as much ALI
mony as he could spare.

TAMMANY AROUSED
BY HENNESSY MOVE
Tiger Fears His Entering
Race Means Stiff Fight
for Glynn.
MAY ASK M'COMBS
TO HEAD TICKET
U. S. Senatorship May Be
Offered to Gerard, Accord
ing to Report.

Announcement Of the candidacy OF
John A. Hennessy for the nomination
for Governor and of Franklin d.
Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of State,
for the nomination for United States
Senator in the Democratic primaries
has aroused Charles f. Murphy and
other Tammany men. They had in
tended to back Glynn for denomination.
but the impression seems to prevail
that the Governor will enter the prim-
aries in the face of formidable oppo-
sition.
IL is understood that a call has gone
out for a conference within a few days
between Murphy and his upstate lieu
tenants. AT that time, il is said, con-
sideration will be given 20 the posi-
biliity of getting William f. McCOmbs
and Ambassador James ". Gerard to
enter the primaries for Governor and
United States Senator, respectively.
Murphy realizes that he will have
to have some one who will stand be-
fore the people as having the approval
of President Wilson. McCombs, hav-
ing been the manager of the Wilson
boom before and in the Baltimore
convention, is generally conceded to
have the confidence of the President
The fact that the President appointed
Mr.. Gerard as Ambassador to Berlin
is thought to be sufficient evidence
that he has the stamp Of approval of
the administration.
1t was said yesterday by man be-
lieved to be in the confidence of the
President that if Hennessy, Gibboney
and Antisdale made too open declara-
ton that the President was backing
their fight in the primaries here, de-
NAL would come from the White House.
However, there is every evidence TO
show that Secretary McAdoo of the
Treasury Department is largely re-
sponsible for the fight.
As an indication that this combina-
ton have really the support Of the ad-
ministration, man friendly 10 the
movement pointed to the appointment
of Henry p. Keith as Collector of In
ternal Revenue for the Long Island
District and Of Thomas +. Rush as
Surveyor of the Port. They also claim
credit for the appointment of a num-
Der of postmasters throughout the
state.
II is known that earlier in the year
Mr.. McCombs seriously considered be-
coming a candidate for the Senate
nomination, but decided that it was
not a good Democratic year. However
he has been told that the European
war is likely TO help the Democratic
ticket. 1t is argued that the people
will say that in view of possible in
ternational complications and the f.
nancial uncertainty the Democratic
administration in Washington should
be upheld in this state

Entering the Gatun locks at 9 o'clock,
the eleven-hour run would bring the
Ancon TO the end Of the deep water
channel in the Pacific at o'clock in the
evening. The passage of the Cucaracha
slide in Culabra Cut will be made
shortly before noon. The canal regu-
lations provide a speed limit of ilt-
teen knots in the wider and deeper
channels of Gatun Lake, but in the
Culebra Cut not more than six knots an
hour will be allowed. Every move
which the ship makes tomorrow Will
be recorded on plotting charts In the
port captains offices at either end OF
the waterway. The ships location will
be reported at every turn by telegraph.
In order that the Ancon's journey
may be wholly unimpeded, all the traf-
fic on the canal will be suspended be-
tween and o'clock tomorrow. Even
the dredges, tugboats and barges VIII
be hauled away from their work in the
Culebra Cut and tied up at Paraiso.
Those aboard the Ancon will include
Governor Goethals, other officials, and
President BeIisario Porras of the Re-
public Of Panama. and members Of his
Cabinet. Most of the officials will be
accompanied by their ladies, and dur
ing the passage of the canal buffet
luncheon will be served, but without
wine, as the Canal Zone is "dry" ter
ritory.
The Ancon has a complement Of

officer being Captain G.. Z. Sukeforth.
