NEW YORK, Dec. S. Up We
only saw the late Roger Bresnahar
once. That was a year or so age
when, stocky and gnarled and NOV
ing about stiffly on unbelievablJ
bowed legs, he put on his old uni
form and went on the field as c
member of an all-tine all stal
team.
Our hearsay memory of him goes
back more years than we care tt
count, however. When we were just
q kid and anyone with the desig'
nation major Lacquer" was only
slightly greater than the President
of the United States, Roger Bres'
nahan was an awe-inspirirg name
Attention had been focused on
him because he had come out with
those sissy things allie shin
guards, and that, combined with
the fact he was catcher for John
McGraw's great Giants and was
invariably linked with Christy
Msthewson, was enough to fix a
lasting srot for him in our minds.
His place among baseball celeb
rites is not due just to the fact
he was the first to wear the shin
bumpers and caught Mathewson
however. Eddie Brannick, the New
York Giant secretary who has seen
basebalPs great come and go down
through the years, rates Bresna-
han and Bill Dickey tops among
the receivers-high praise indeed
for Dickey, confirmed American
Lacquer.
"Bresnahan and Dickev were the
best" Eddie asserts fatty. "Bres-
nahan had a great arm, and was
fast. He was very good on the
bases for a catcher. He played in
the outfield, too you know. At the
plate he was smart. You couldn' t
fool him on bad pitches. He thought
there was no pitcher like Mathew
son. When Ma-ty would get down

the question of helping select a
successor to Commissioner K. nj.
Lands today, with most of the IL
operating circuits meeting behind
closed doors on the eve of their
43rd annual convention.
Although the three double "a
circuits, the International, Pacific
Coast and American Association,
met in joint session. it was evident
that no pressure would be applied
to force the majors to give them
direct vote in naming a new

President William C. Bramham,
of Durham. N. c., pointed out that
the automatic extension Of the ma

Jones had become attached to
football in the fifth grade at Abb

front yard there that he topped
from the tree.
What did Ellis do after the pain
and the surgery were just bitter
memories? Cheerfully. he went out
for more kid football.
Then, against the advice of the
coach, he reported for his first
high school grid work.
'Better not" cautioned III e
coach. This is tough game. You
might get hurt"
Warnings did not deter Ellis. He
kept at it, practicing hour after
hour running, blocking, tackling
and kicking.
That's how this smashing SYM

Giants We're Lucky

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-LP-
Sure, the New York Giants were
"a little lucky" in beating Wash

pertinent point.
That point, Jack Lavelle, Giant
Scout, said today is the one the

in the final period.
1t was nullified by penalty, and
the Giants missed their second try
for the extra point.

pound after-dinner speaker at the

Then the Redskins, instead of
having chance to tie the score by
field goal, would have been faced
with the much tougher task OF
