PENNSY LOST Big MONEY
Cancelling of Boston A. A. Football
Game Cost Nearly $4 900.
Giants President Sued the Red and
Blue and the Case Was Sub
mitt ed to Arbitration.

The canceling of the football game with
the Boston Athletic Association at Man.
haitian Field last fall has cost the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania Just So, $50 80 in cash,
to say nothing of the Red and Blue reputa-
ton for meeting all Comers, which was
without biemish up to that time. The
game was ordered Cancelled on the eve Of
the scheduled date by the faculty advisory
committee because several of the players
were in unfit physical condition to play.
President Andrew Freeman of the New
York Baseball Club, with whom Pennsyl-
vania made the contract for the playing OF
the game upon Ma mia ttan Field, sued Penn-
sylvania and the case was submitted TO
arbitration. The ar5itrators originally were
Bainbridge Colby for Freedman and Frank
B. Ellis for Pennsylvania. They met sew
eral times, and, failing 10 agree, called in
Caspar W. Whitney. These three. at a re-
cent meeting, reached a conclusion and
awarded Freedman Sl71I.
After great deal of discussion and the
drawing of many parallels to arrive at
what the COX office receipts would have
been iIaG the game been played. the arbi-
traitors decided on $4,000, considered
very low figure by Coach Woodruff and
others who were present at the grounds
the day the game was to have been pla yed.
From the $4,000, according to the con-
tract, are deducted Freedmans expenses
for printing and advertising, which were
$195. or the balance Freedman was to
receive 40 per cent and each of the com
peting teams 80. This meant TO Freedman
81 ,522 and for each team 81 ,191 so,
had the game been played. Penn
sylvania has sent check to Freedman
for $1,717, paid the arbitrators S219,
paid the Boston Athletic Association $500
and spent S225 for taking the scrub team
10 New York on the day the game was
scheduled for. An additional loss was in
rredby the failure to play the game in that
had there been 81 1900 in the box, the low
estimate of the arbitrators, PENIS re-
ceipts would have been $1,191.5O. A
summary then of the loss to the Pennsyl-
vania treasury reads like this:
Paid Freedman for costs.... S195 90
Paid Freedman for percentage. ,522 90
Paid for nrbitr ton. ......... 219 90
Paid Boston A. A.. 500 90

commissioner. The brother OF the sui
eide is the surveyor for the county.
They are not at all the sort OF people to
repudiate a relation in distress. and this
