 It was Kahn's money, you know. He knew The Miracle would not make money. He cheerfully promised to make up. the deficit, just as for years he footed the bills for the Metropolitan opera. So far as can see, he did it because he thought The Miracle was worth producing, just as he believed that sooner or later New York would learn to like opera.

BRESNAHAN HAS
LOST CHANCE
FOR CAREER
Was Aimed at Big Success,
But Played Cards Wrong
In ST. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. S.-The ragged
career Of Roger Bresnahan has
been jagged again. The Dock Of
Tralee, one of the leading idols OF
the National League circuit when he
wore the shin guards and mask
and caught flies in the outfield.
has taken another flop.
Graduating from a player to a
manager Bresnahan was expected
to grow to be one of the most
influential figures in the National
League. He was destined to be.
come q magnate, apparently, and
he would have been right here in
st. Louis had he played the cards
with a bit Of tact and judgment.
After clearing a fortune for the
Britton interests with the Cardinals
In 1911, Bresnahan was fired after
serving one year on a five.year con-
tract.
That was Bresnahan's chance to
become a magnate.
Compare Bresnahan's career with
that Of others.
There is Miller Huggins, the
Docks successor here, still in the
game and plotting a world series
winner. Look at the advance made
by Bob Quinn-never higher than
q minor league catcher, and now
a club owner.
Bresnahan went from st. Louis
to Chicago. He remained there
several years and then branched
out to the minor league territory
as owner Of the Toledo club in the
American Association.
Toledo is considered mint by
experienced baseball officials, but
Bresnahan could not make go
Of It. It has been reported around
the circuit that of recent years the
Toledo club has been controlled by
the Giants. And 1t now passes into
the hands Of Joseph OBrien, who
served term as secretary for the
Giants.
The passing of Bresnahan is re.
gretted. He should be swimming in
wealth today and one Of the big
guns Of the profession.

HIGH CLASS KID
PLAY|NGFOR
CUBANS
Charley Dresser Performs for
American Association in
Regular Season.

There is a mighty clever Amer
ican ball player playing third base
for the Almendares Club of Havana
in Charley Dresser. During the
American baseball season Dresser
is the third baseman of the St.
Paul Club.
Dresser is the leading ball player
Of the Cuban season, leading the
Cuban players in both batting and
fielding. Despite the fact he is
not much bigger than Denny Gea-
rim, the pony giant lefthander. he
smacks ball very hard, and gets
many extra base hits. His speed
also comes in good stead in stretch
ing out hits.
Before Judge Landis stopped
Luque from pitching in Havana,
Dresser met the only player able to
hit him. He smacked Adolfo for
three hits in one game and for two
in another.
Neither the Cuban writer's nor
fans can understand why Dresser
is not in the big leagues. They say
he is far better than many of the
big leaguers who have played ex.
hibition games in Havana.
Dresser himself thinks that he is
being Disseminated against be.
cause Of his size. He hit over $50
for st. Paul last season, and ranked
high as a batsmanl and baserunner.

in the American Association to get
a chance in the big leagues" Dres-
sen says.

ahead in his game. l do not care
to seem boastful, but think am

men who get into the big leagues,
and feel l would have no Difficult.

RING FANS
WANT WILLS
AND JACK

In spite Of the fact that Jack
Dempsey is inclined to hold Harry
Wills cheaply. there is a consider.
able portion of the boxing public
anxious to see Wills get his chance
at the title.
Kearns, who manages Dempsey,
was the manager of Wills at one
time out on the coast and Kearns
processes to know Willis fighting
ability.
He is not at all backward in saying
that he does not think Wills would
have a chance against the cham.
pion.
That attitude, however, Is regard.
ed by the fans as inconsistent with
Kearns' apparent stand against the
Wills.Dempsey bout.
If Kearns and the champion both
believe that Wills would be easy
picking. their reluctance to Oncour-
age the match may be prompted by
the lukewarm attitude Of the New
York boxing officials.

ASKS MONEY
UNEARNED
Star Shortstop Would Take
Coin for Months He Was
Absent in 1923.

CHICAGO, Feb. S.-Charlie Hol
locher, the Cubs brilliant short
stop, insists on being paid for the
complete season of 1923. although
he deserted the club in August.
This is the hitch between him and
President Veeck, it became known
today.
THE club, to be entirely fair to
Hollocher, is willing to grant his
demands" said President VeeciI, but
insists on giving him one-half this
year and one.half next year, thus
insuring itself of his services for
the coming two seasons"
Hollocher, without notice, went
home to st. Louis last August. He
left the Cubs without a capable sub
stitute and refused to play any
more baseball, claiming he was i'll.
President Veeck had the player
examined by several physicians and
specialists, but none could find any.
ordered to rejoin the Cubs, but he
refused, insisting he was sick.
When he left the team Hollocher
applied for voluntary suspension
and Judge Lands granted it.
Frequently Hollocher has been
reported as possible figure in a
trade. His friends in st. Louis have
said that he wanted to play with
the Cardinals in order to be home
more. However, President Veeck
denies that he will be traded.
Unless Hollocher signs the con.
tract we have sent him, he will be
placed on the suspended list and
will be ineligible to play any more
baseball in organized cIrcles," said
President Veeck today.

Sisler Says He Will
Take Fling At
Pitching

George Sisler, new manager
of the Browns, announces that
he will do bit of pitching next
season in an effort to bolster up
the Browns rather weak hurting
staff. That's a laudable pur-
pose-and Sisler probably will
get away with it. He was a
pitcher at the University of
Michigan long before he ever
discovered the gentle art of first
basing.
Just the same a lot of fans
would rather see George out
there cavorting around the in
itial sack-doing his stuff every
day. And when you come right
down to it, the chances are
George would win just as many
games for the Browns as a first
baseman as he possibly could
win as a pitcher.
