tional League had given him and Mr..
Byrne full authority to provide the
regulations governing a contest for the
Temple Cup, the regulations made must
stand.
He decides that the agreement made
by Capts. Hanlon and Ward to divide
the receipts equally was in conflict with
the regulations, and any games played
exhibition games, and not for the cup.
Mr.. Young thinks. however, that the
decision OF the Committee will not inter
fere with the series OF games scheduled
to begin tomorrow. He said the cap
tains OF the two teams will simply be
forced to agree to the 65 and IS percent
age arrangement.

divide the gate receipts of the games to
be played for the trophy. He says he
understood that last week Hanlon and
Ward agreed upon a 65 and IS per cent.

sharing equally.
Mr.. Temple says this will detract FROM
the baseball public's interest. in the

Chairman OF the Committee having the

vent the games from being played under
