Four thousand boys enrolled in the “Knot- hol: Gang.” That may scund like a lot of free transportation to other club owners, but to Sam Breadon and his asso- ciates in the St. Louls Cardinal man- agement it's sweet music. They have found that it pays— in dollars and cents. Male escorts of the bargain hunting women must buy their way into the park, while even those. who come unattended usually leave a little change with the vendors of peanuts, pop and ice cream, As for the boys, they create and maintain interest in the home team through their discussions. arguments and. most of all, their loyalty. The result has been a gain in actual paid admissions since the plan was inaugurated hete and a success- ful tryout of the ssme scheme in Chicago.

EW YORK, August 13.—Roger Bresnahan will succeed Stanley Harrls as manager of the Detroit Tigers for the 1932 season, according to & report current in American League circles | here today. Harris is finishing his third year as manager of the Tigers, who are occupying the cellar position in the American League at present. They finished sixth in 1929 and fifth in 1930. Harris went to Detroit from Wl.hlnm:, where he starred at second and in 1924 became the youngest manager of a major league | team and piloted the Senators to a | vietory in the world series. He was | then 28 years old. | Rumors have been current for some time that Harris' contract at Detroit would not be renewed. To- day’s report here indicated strongl that his successor would be Bresna- han, who is at present coach of the Tigers. Bresnahan is one of the veterans of the game and as catcher for the New York Giants for many years gained a reputation second to that of the immortal Buck Ew] After leaving the Giants he managed the St. Louis Cardinals, but without marked success.
