MANAGER BRESNAHAN DISCHARED | St. Louis Club Management Breaks Five Year Contract—De- posed Leader to Make Every Effort to Force Officials to | | Live Up to Agreement—Received $10,000 a Year and Ten Per Cent. of Profits. St. Louis, Oct. 22.—The formal notice has been served on Roger Bresnahan, manager of the St. Louis National league team, that his contract has been | terminated by the club manegement, though it still has four vears to run was admitted tonight by J. C. Jones, president of the club. Bresnahan sald he would take every means to force the club management to live up to the contract. No specified reasons for the action were given. “I can now confirm the statement that notice of the termination of the comtract has been served on Mr. Bres; nahan,” said Jones, after refusing all day to discuss the matter. “I have a contract with the club which has four years to run,” Bresna- han said. “I will make every effort to force the club owners to live up io their end of it. I have fulfilled all my obligations to the club and will expect the club to fulfill its obligeitions to me.” Bresnahan refused to say whether “making every effort” meant an appeal to the national commission. ! A_man close to those in control of the team declared Bresnahan wouid make a fight in the courts to compel the club to respect his contract, which calls for a salary of $10,000 a year and 10 per cent. of the net profits. 1t is said the club’s officials offered to make any reasonable settlement with him, but the meeting, it was reported, virtually broke up in a row, and there ‘will be another conference to determine what course shall be pursued. Mrs. Britton and her advisers are said to be sanguine of success in de- posing Bresnahan should the case reach the courts, but should they fail, it i learned that they plan to keep the manager on the bench. SCRUBS BECOME VARSITY ELEVEN AT CORNELL Second Team Defeats Regulars and Coach Sharpe Reverses Positions. Ithaca, N. Y., Oct. 22.—A revolution occurred in the Cornell university football camp today when Coach Sharpe, who, after watching the var- #ity team defeated 28 to 7 by the scrub eleven, relegated the first team to the second table at the training quarters and informed the scrubs that they might consider themselves the varsity team. Coach Sharpe said he intends to round out the best scoring combination possible or lose every game this year in the attempt, so that he can at least know what material he will have to work with next season.

WO00D NEVER EQUALED. Nap Lajoie Says Red ;ox Pitcher Has Everything. Napoleon Lajoie, who has faced ail kinds of pitchers since he made his bow in major league company, back in 1896, says that Joe Wood of the Boston Red Sox never has heen equaled. La- Jjole, one of the biggest batsmen in the American league this year, when asked the other day to tell just why the Red Sox star is in a class by himself, re- plied: “He’s got everything combined: physical development, stamina, iron nerve and brains: also natural pitch- ing skill. Wood excels in knowing how to pitch to different batsmen. His headwork s one of the reasons why he is at the head of the class. He be- lieves in mixing 'em up, which, in my opinion, is the most effective method employed to deceive batters. Look over the records and you'll find that the most suceessful pitchers in any kind of company have learnefi the knack of mixing the fast ones with the slow ones without altering their de- livery. * “Wood looks like the swiflest pitches I've ever faced. He seems to have more speed tham Amos Rusfe, Rub. ‘Waddell, Rulie Marquard, Walter John- son, and others I could name, Yet he develops this wonderful speed with an easy overhand motion which enables him to keep his balance and control the course of the ball.” Gavigan Knocks Out Stanton.

War in the Balkans Again Proves a Paramount Influence. New York, Oct: 22.—The war in the Balkans was again a paramount influ- ence in the stock market today, even though there was an utter lack of vesterday’s heavy liquidation for for- eign account. On the contrary, London bought moderately here of TUnited States Steel, Amalgamated Copper and a few other speculative favorites. Nevertheless all European markets continued to manifest uneasiness, London taking more stocks from Paris and Berlin. The latter exchanges were weak, Canadian Pacific declining six points in Berlin on what appeared to be urgent selling. The nervousness was accentuated by fears regarding the outcome of next week's settlement. And private cables from Paris stated that a syndicate of French bankers had been formed to assume the liabili- ties of several brokerage firms which had sustained heavy losses in the re- cent depreciation of Russian and Turk- ish securities. The opening here was rather a sur- prise, general declines having been looked for. Instead the market simply displayed some irregularity, followed by general improvement, and by mid- day a number of substantial gains were recorded, chisfly in the coalers, Undon Pacific, Steel and Amalgamated Copper. In the latter part of the session the trading fell away until it failed to possess any significance, the only fear being the activiigg in Chino Copper at a new higher record. Towards the end prices fell steadlly until little remained of early gains, Union Pacific and Le- high Valley being especially heavy. For the first time in some days call loans opened at 5 per cent, and the greater part of the day’s offerings were at that figure. Local banks suffered another heavy drain to the sub-treas- ury, their total loss since last Friday approximating $6.000,000. The marke; for time money was dull, but steady, with some offerings by out of town in- stitutions. The bond list in its heaviness follow. ed the course of stocks. Total sales, par value, aggregated $1.700,000. United States government ‘were unchanged on call. 8TOCKS. High Sales 20900 Amal.

Prince Albert brought the first notable im days of Walter Raleigh. provement in pipe tobacco since the It has done more in two years to make the pipe popular than all other smoking tobaccos in a generation. Now, men, we want you to know why Prince Albert is different, why it's in a class of its own. The reason is the Prince Albert process. This is what makes P. A. what it is. This process was discovered by a well-known German scientist who dearly loved a pipe and experimented with smoking tobaccos as a side line. in this process. So did we when this company acquired it. perfecting it. He knew he had hit upon a big thing Expérts were put on the job of The work took three years and cost a bunch of money. But we knew it would make a wonderful smoking tobacco and we had the faith to back it. The United Statc;s Patent on this process was granted July 30, 1907. Now, men, this is the showdown.

Westgard Laying Out “Midland Trail”’—Gasoline High " in New York City. The formation of the club of New York—when that organ- {zation comes into being—may have its effect on the gasoline price situation, inasmuch as that is a matter which properly may come within the range of affairs of an active automobile or- ganization. The matter is, of course, hard to handle, because there seems 0 be no way to make a business con- lern reduce prices for a commodity when it has found these flgures easy to get. The garage men are working through their organization to cope with the new conditions. An odd thing is that gasoline is cheaper iz | many other sections than it is in New | York. In Detroit, Kansas City and many other towns of the middle west gasoline sells anywhere from 14 1-2 to 16 cents a gallon retail. In New York, the price is from 22 cents up. Why there should he these differences puzzles motorists, and, what is more, pains them grievously. The automo- bile dealers’ association and the Au- tomobile Club of America have not yvet tackled this problem, or if either has, the work has been conducted with complete secrecy. All that moforists know is that New York is getting the worst end of the gasoline problem. With the convening of the legislature in man® states this fall, there is wide- spread interest among automoblle us- ers as to what new legislation affect- ing the operation of motor vehicles upon the public highways will be pro- posed and enacted. It is the opinion of motorists as well as state and mu- nicipal = officlals that every effort should be made to secure greater uni- formity In automobile regulations, es- pecially as concerns the speed limits, so that touris in passing from one state to another will not be met by the town fathers on the village streets, holding them up with a red flag in order to derive a source of revenue. As a general rules the rank and file of automobilists upon entering small communities, drive cautiously, re- specting the rights of pedestrians and other users of the road, carefully ob- serving the local traffic rules. The war in Mexico is demonstrating the possibilities of the automobile as a valuable adjunct to fleld service. Hostilities recently have “centered along the Arizona border near the American city of Douglas. The other day the insurrectos had a mining camp surrounded and a lively battle resulted. Automobiles were despatched at once by Douglas citizens to the scene of ac- tivities to bring out the women and children. Even though ventilators generally are supplied to add to the comfort of those who drive cars equipped with front doors, the front compartment of this type of vehicla sometimes becomes “stuffy.” The condition can be con- siderably relleved, where a rain vision | windshield figures in the equipment of the car, by tilting the top of the shield outward, 8o that it directs a current of air downward inte the compartment.

With the appointment of H. C. Brad- field as chairman of the press com- mittee, the working organization of the Indianapolis Speedway for the next big contest, May 30-31, has been made complete. Speedway Manager C. W. Sedwick now has what is sald to be a hard working crew, consisting of Ho- mer McKee, one of the best advertis- ing experts in the country, who will have supervision over the general pub- licity plans; Theodore Myers, who has grown up with the Speedway, in charge of the financial and clerical work, and Capt. W. P. Carpenter, In- diana national guard, in charge of pub- lic safety. Manager Sedwick is now working with Mr. McKee on plans for the big two days’ contest that will bring to this country foreign race drivers and make for the Indianapolis Speedway contest next year, what is said wil' be the greatest international automo- bile contest the world has ever wit- nessed. Highly interesting and exhaustive experiments involving for the first time the use of the automobile in wireless telephony have recently been made by E. C. Hanson of Los Ange- les. The results obtained have creat- ed sensation among the followers of this line oféscience on the coast, where Mr. Hanson is regarded as one of the gmlst capable amateurs in the wireless eld. One of the most recent experiments was receipt on Lookout mountain of a message sent over the ranges from Long Beach, 35 miles away, the current being supplied by the lighting storage battery with which the car s equip- ped. So excellent were the results obtain- ed and so pleased was Mr. Hanson that on the return to Los Angeles he predicted that it would not be long before wireless telephones would Be | regular equipment on automobiles. Pronounced impetus has been given to the proposal for the construction of a system of national highways by the enthusiasm with which good roads advocates throughout the country have welcomeq the action of the American Road congress in endorsing the federal ald proposition generally, as well as the recent project for the constru tion of a great ocean-to-ocean high- way, in part following the old trails of the early pioneers, and to be built with funds, much of which wifl be provided by the automobile and allled industries, general leading concerns having already agreed to contribute one-third of one per cent. of their 'gross earnings for the next three years toward this great national road. That the national government should continue the policy of federal aid in highways construction adopted by the rrecent conaress, without waiting for vately constructed transcontinental roads, was the opinion of the congress, express in its first and most import- ant resolution. In'this it endorsed the attitude of the A. A, A, which has consistenly been that before any par- ticular route for a national road or system of roads can be_intelligently selected, there must be adopted a def- inite policy of appropriations and ex- penditures and the proper administra- tive machinery providing for the eco- nomical distribution of avallable funds. The action of the congress of the United States in appropriating $500,000 for experimental road construction and appointing a joint committee to report upon a comprehensive plan for fur- ther federal aid, was endorsed by the road congress, as well as the proposal to create a national department of good roads as a separate branch of the federal government. MIGHT HAVE BEEN TEAMMATES. Wood Was Onm for Washing- ton Instead of Boston. Where would the Washington team be today with Walter Johnson and Joe Wood, the two greatest pitchers In the game, both working on Griffith's pitching Staff? Tt’was fate, or rather fate in the disguise of poor business ability, that prevented the twe twirl- ing stars from being teammates on the Waghington club. Tn the nrlnf of 1908 Washington plaved an exhfbition game in Kansas City, and Jos Cantil- lon watched a young pitcher strike out seven of the nine batsmen that faced him in the last three innings. The name of this young player was Joe Wood. Cantillon made arrangements to secure Wood right then and there. The Washinigton manager was given to understand that when the time came to dispose of Wood the National club would be given first chance. Cantillon al|ow¢-dd lflhai prtt);:e:‘}:;e deal to go at that and during g mer Boston purchased Wood without Cantillon ever being consulted or given a chance to bid for Wood.
