bic for him 10 earn $4,000 for one sea-

creased the chutes so that he could
slide easily into the soft position as
owner OF a minor league club at a bar

Quite frequently Of late some of our
sob producing brothers have painted q
sad. sad picture Of "Rajah one that
depicted him as an innocent victim Of
tho cruel" war. But those who wept
for Rresnahan have wasted their tears.
Here are the facts i'm the Bresnahan
case.
when the 1914 season ended ''Rajah'
merely was a player drawing $4,000
year Had there been no war, il is like
ly that his salary for 1915 and 1915
would have been shaved down As to
l9l7-well by that time "Rajah" would
have been nearing his 3Sth year and
The chances are he would have been
headed toward the minors.
"RHiah" Got His Price.
However Bresnahan's salary for 1915.
1916 and 1917 probably would not have
averaged over $4,000 total OF $4,000
for three years labor. That's what he'd
have gathered i'm had there been no
war But there was a war. And
"Rajah' was 'victimiZed' in this way:
The Feds flirted with him but i'm the
end "ka1ah" remained faithful" to or
ganized baseball-for a price. The price
was the management of the Cubs and a
three year contract-said TO have been
dictated bV Bresnahan-calling FOR a
salary Of $4,000 per year.
Got $1,000 Cash.
"Rajah' got his $4,000 last season
and then came peace. Joe Tinker de-
posed Brcsnahan as manager Of the
cubs but "Rajah' isn't worrying, be

Bresnahan is one Of the real veterans

been generally overlooked The 1915

that ne sun retains two or three years

"RaJah's' history is unique. He was
born in ireland in 1880 and came here
when boy. He mastered baseball at a
very tender age and showed such great
promise as an amateur pitcher that he
was given tryout in 1S96-when 16
years old-With the Lima, O.. team.
The following season he Joined the
Washington club. then in the National
league. He pitched for that outfit i'm

and at the end Of '9S he was turned
over to Minnea polls. In 1900 he was re-
called by the Cubs and from then on NE

The Cub manager. however wasn't
impressed with "Rajah's' pitching pow

die Of 1902 when he joined John Nc
Graw in the Zeppelin to the New York

In 1908 and 1904 Bresnahan played

"H0ME Run Baker Hitting Ball

line in a New York paper from the
training camp of the Yankees. But
Baker is merely hitting the ball in
the practice games. What he viii do
in league contests has yet to be
seen.
PALERM0, the young Cuban
pitcher who had a real fuss with
the Giants last year and was finally
sent to the Rochester club of the
International league, is reported to
be "the real goods" in the Giants
training camp this year. He is
dubbed "the real sub for Marquard."

WARREN CONFIRMS
POSTSCRIPT CHARGE
Declares a Member of Wilson's
Official Family Said There
Was Addition to Note.

NEW YORK. Oct. 31-George G.
! Warren. Jr., n we'll known resident
of Jersey City. one of the Republican
candidates for presidential elector in
New Jersey, declares that he is in
position positively to confirm the
statement by Senator Lodge regard
ing the so-called postscript to the
Lusitanin note" Mr Warren SAYS
that he has his information directly
from member OF Wilson's official
family. whose name. for obvious. rea-
sons. he is not at liberty to give.
The story as Mr. Warren has II. is
that the postscript was not in the
form OF an addition to the note for
transmission to the German govern
ment. but in the form of supple
mental instruction to Ambassador
Gerard. who was to convey the Ger
man government the information
that the note had been written for
American consumption.
Mr.. Warren's story Is that the man
who prevented this instruction being
sent TO Ambassador Gerard was
Joseph P. Tumulty. secretary to the
president. According to Mr.. War
ren's informant. Mr.. Tumulty real
lied the political danger TO his chief
of sending such n message and went
to Lindley NJ. Garrison. then secre-
tary OF war, and urged Mr.. Garrison
to exert his influence to prevent this
instrument being sent. Mr.. Garrison
replied that he had no influence with
the president, aud that it was not
worth while tor him to attempt to in
.terfere; that Postmaster General Bur
Lesson was the man whom Mr.
Tumulty should endeavor to interest
Mr.. Warren's Informant saws that
Mr., Tumulty did go to Postmaster
General Burlescn and succeeded in
rnusing Mr. Burleson to the import
ance OF stopping the telegram Mr.
Burleson having agreed that the mes
sage should be stopped. Mr.. Tumulty
took the responsibility Of having the
supplemental message held UP 10
await further orders Mr. Tumulty
and Mr.. Burleson thcreupon went to
the president and laid the case before
him. The president did not agree
! with their presentation of the mat
I ter. He argued that the American
/ people did not want war. were on
Z posed Of getting into war and that
2
tons 10 Ambassador Gerard was in
accordance with the feeling Of the
country. This argument satisfied
Postmaster General Burleson. VINO
Withdrew his objection Mr.. Tum-
ulty. however. continued to object
very streuuously upon the ground
that TO send such instruction would
be fatal political error. Mr..
Tumulty then sought Mr.. Lansing.
who At that time was counselor Of tina
state department. Mr.. Lansing saw
Mr.. Tumulty's point at once and
agreed with him. and Lansing and
/ Tumulty went back to the president
and succeeded in convincing the
president Of the importance of with
drawing the supplemental instruc-
ton 10 Ambassador Gerard. II was
when Mr.. Bryan was informed def
nitely that this instruction To Mr..
( Gerard had been withheld that he
( resigned as secretary OF state.
Mr.. Warren declares that the source
OF his information is such that there
can be absolutely no question as to
it, reliability.

result of non-partisan poll Of

reveals that 429 Princeton alumni
who voted for Wilson in 1912 are
going to vote for Hughes this year:
whereas 81 is the total of the Taft

Wilson. Equally significant Is the
fact that $50 men who voted for

for Hughes and only thirty-seven for
Wilson. In other words over ninety
