BRESNAHAN FREE AGENT,
Roger Will Purchase Toledo Club or
Bid for Job on Big League Team.

Roger Bresnahan will be free agent.
For many weeks the former Giant
catcher did not know where to lay his
head. Every club in organized baseball
has waived on the former manager and
star catcher of the Cubs. He will
either purchase and manage the To-
ledo club in the American association
or negotiate with a club in the major
league to work at smaller salary
than under his Chicago contract.
Roger Deposed.
Bresnahan was deposed as manager
when the former Federal Lacquer
bought the club recently for Charles
p. Taft Joe Tinker, who won the
Federal league pennnant last year for
Weeghman. has succeeded him.
Rogers contract had two more years
to take action to force its fulfillment,
but Weeghman evidently negotiated a
settlement that quieted him. 1t is
thought the silencer employed was a
promise of financial aid in purchasing
the Toledo club.
Starred With Giants.
Bresnahan was for many years a
member of the Giants. He was an
outfielder and general utility man at
first. McGraw developed him into one
of the greatest catchers. He went to
St. Louis six years ago to manage the
Cardinals. McGraw accepted Jack
Murray, Bugs Raymond and Admiral
Schlei in exchange for him.
Rogers Fall.
Bresnahan did we'll for two seasons,
but finally had a row with Mrs. Schuy-
Ter Britton that resulted in his being
removed from the management of the
club, although his contract still had a
year to run. Bresnahan made Mrs.
Britton pay dearly for replacing him
with Miller Higgins as manager. He
received his ST. Louis salary in full
and was allowed to sign with the Cubs,
a team of his own selection.
He played one year under Hank
O'Day in Chicago and then assumed
the managership of the club. He did
well with the material he had last
year.
Bresnahan's Brains.
Bresnahan is one of the headiest
players that ever lived. He developed
Lee Magee when he managed the
Cardinals. Although well over 80, he
is still a competent backstop. 1t will
be surprising if he is permitted to go
to the minors, even as a manager. The
Giants could use him to advantage. So
could the Yankees. 1t is possible that
either club will obtain his services.

MURRAY TO BE REWARDED
FOR LONG SERVICE.
May Become Free Agent Instead of
Going to Kansas City.

Jack Murray, who for years has been
regarded as one of the ranking out
fielders of the National League and
who was sold to the Kansas City team
of the American Association last week,
may not step down to the minors for a
while yet
Jack has appealed to the National
Commission for his unconditional re-
lease. and while his case has not been
considered officially it was learned
the other day that two members of
that body are in sympathy with him.
Murray has been in the National
League for ten years, and, according
to a rule promulgated at a joint meet
ing of the Baseball Players Fraterniay
and the National commission about a
year ago, is entitled to unconditional
release.

SUES c. p. TAFT
Charles Schmalstig Claims He Owned
100 Shares of Cubs Stock.

Cincinnati, Feb. Is. - Charles
Schmalstig, who acted as agent for
Charles P Taft in the final negotia-
tions for the sale of the Chicago Ma
tional League club to Charles Weegh-
man, of Chicago, filed suit today in
common pleas court against Taft for
$50, $50, which he claimed is due him
for stock which he owned in the club.
In his petition he alleges he owned
100 shares of the stock of the Chicago
club and that he turned it over to
Taft. This, ne said, Taft later sold
to Weeghman, together with 500 other
shares.
Schmalstig further alleges that Taft
received 100000 for the 900 shares
and that he refused to turn over $50
555, which SChmalstig says was re-
ceived for his shares.
Schmalstig was formerly employed
in Taft's office here.
Charles Weegham, president of the
Chicago National league baseball club,
when informed tonight of the suit
brought by Charles Schmalstig against
Charles Taft for S55,555 said that
when he closed the deal for the trans
fer of the club he did not know that
SChmaIstig owned any stock. He pU--
chased the club from Mr.. Taft, he said.

THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY.
TROUBLE AND DON'T KNOW IT

Weak and unhealthy kidneys cause
so much sickness and suffering and
when through neglect or other causes
kidney trouble is permitted to continue
serious results may be expected.
Your other organs may need attention
but your kidneys should have atten-
ton first because their work is most
important.
If you feel that your kidneys are the
cause of your sickness or run down
condition commence taking Dr.kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney, liver
and bladder remedy, because if it
proves to be the remedy you need and
your kidneys begin to improve, they
will help all the other organs to health,
PreVaIency of Kidney Disease.
Most people do not realize the alarm
ing increase and remarkable prevalency
of kidney disease. While kidney dis
orders are among the most common
diseases that prevail, they are almost
the last recognized by patients, who
usually content themselves with doc
torinq the effects, while the original
disease constantly undermines the sys-
tenn.
