Captains Hanion and Ward Arrange for
an Equal Division of the Receipts

captains haniOn anu ward arrange LOT
an Equal Division of the Receipts.
PITTsBuRd, Pa, Oct. 1.-Captain
Ward of the New Yorks arrived in the
city tonight on his way East. He said:
II have just come from Chicago,
where had conference with Manager
Hanlon about the cup series. The ques.
ton of receipts was fully discussed.
Mr.. Hanlon and Captain Robinson said
that they would play on no conditions
other than an even division of the re-
ceipts. They said: There are other con-
siderations for the winner besides the
cash, and we don't think we oughtto give
in anything more to you besides. If we
go into series on the 65 and 30 per
cent basis it may turn into battle royal
instead of a bali game, and somebody
may be hurt
"And," continued Ward, 81 decided
that they had good argument, and
rather than see the series fall through,
| decided to accept on the even split. l
think | could convince Mr.. Temple in
few minutes talk that we took the
best step possible. The League may
object, but | feel certain it will with
draw any objections when they learn
the situation.
"The winners of the series will be
champions de facto, and think we will
win easily. We give them the advan-
tage by playing the first games on Bal
timore's grounds"
Mr.. Temple, the donor Of the cup,
when informed about the arrangements
made, said: "They cannot do that. The
rules, as laid down by the League com.
mittce, declares that the receipts must
be divided as follows: Sixty-tive pei
cent to the winner and IS per cent to the
loser. They will make farce of the
thing if they adopt any tactics of ignor'
ing the League. don't think they are
acting right in the matter.
