Half Interest.
CLUBS FINANCIAL STATEMENT.
A Profit Of $2l00 Made on
An Investment of the
tog Guarantee.

There's an inside history to the ques-
grounds. Negotiations for a big deal
have been in progress, but whether
they will ever reach successful termi-
nation is doubtful
There hasn't been any necessity for
pipe dreams on base ball plans for the
coming year. Legitimate deals have
been under consideration. Frank G,
selee, principal owner Of the Worces-
ters. has tried to sell half interest in
the team. He has made and received
propositions for that end that are now
being considered, and he Will receive
his answer when he returns to Wor-
cester. That was the reason he secured
a two weeks option on the Maher-
Bigelow lot.
Paul ]. Henry and Michael A. Hen
nv are willing to buy outright one half
interest In the Worcester base ball
club If the present owners will consent

ownership in the team. They have
made him proposition Tor the same
end. The propositions are not similar
and the final answers will be made
when Mr.. selee again comes to Wor-
cester.
Mr.. Selee wants the Henry Brothers
to erect the grandstand, bleachers and
fence for the new grounds on the Ma

chase 4 half interest in the team which

LAST OPEN PRACTICE.
Harvard Students Practice
Songs to Celebrate Their
Coming Victory.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 15.-The Har-
ward foot ball practice today was open
for the last time before the Yale game.
Taking advantage of this, most of the
under graduates assembled by classes
and marched to Soldiers field. A light
rain was falling but about 1000 stu
dents did their best to make the team
feel the loyal undergraduate support.
The cheering was constant, and added
much to the spirit of the team. Sew
eral songs, including the new one,
'Harvard's day." had been prepared
to be rehearsed preparatory to Satur-
days game, but they We're not tried.
The playing of the team was good
showing steady improvement. Be
fore the afternoon was over, substi-
tutes had played in every position on
the eleven, except in the place of Bur-
den and J. Lawrence. There was con-
siderable team play and much more
life than usual. The substitute ends
were weak, but the center of the line
was impregnable. Time after time at
tacks were made on Burden and Ben
nett, but the opposing team could not
gain
After the usual preliminary practice,
the varsity played one half against
the second as usual and then lined up
against the freshman eleven. Four
touchdowns were scored against the
second, and one goal from the field
against the freshmen in the second
half.
AS most of the regular men played in
the first half, the second eleven had
little chance. The varsity line up was
as follows: Campbell, Ristine, left
end; Eaton, left tackle; Boa1, A. r.
Sargent. left guard; Burnett, c. Sar-
gent center; Burden, right guard; j.
Lawrence, right tackle; Hallowell,
Hawkins, right end; DAILY, Fincke,
quarter back Sawin, Parker, left half
back; Kendall, Warren, right half
back; Ellis fullback

DIXON TO RETIRE.
Little Chocolate" viii Leave Squared
Circle After Thirteen Years of Glory.

Little Chocolate" Will Leave Squared
Circle After Thirteen Years of Glory.
New York, Nov. 15.-After 10 years of
fighting, George Dixon, the colored
feather-weight, will retire from active
ring work. His fight with Terry Me-
Govern at New York city on Jan. will
be his last. This is the statement issued
by TON O'Rourke, Dixon's manager.
Besides meeting McGovern, Dixon is
scheduled to meet Eddie Lenny in %
round bout on the night of Nov. q. Ru-
NOR has it that he will follow in the
footsteps of John L. Sullivan and Jim
Corbett, and open cafe in Sixth av-
enue, New York.
In his own class the colored fighter
was stronger than any fighter that ever
milled in America. He won the feather
weight title over nine years ago, and,
although defeated in three or four linz
tied round goes, Dixon is still looked
upon as champion by many fight fol-
lowers, who do not take Santry's title
seriously. He has earned upward of
100000 during his ring career, but, like
John l. he spent the greater portion of
1t, and now when he is ready to retire,
the boxer has only his earnings of the
last year or two to show for his long
and hard campaign

F. ]. Leonard as manager at a salary
Of 1920 year.
The Henry brothers are willing to
purchase a half interest In the team
and then stand half share of the ex-
penses of building new ball grounds
at East Worcester.
They think if they purchase a half
interest in the club there will be no
necessity of manager. With Mr.. Selee
to look out for securing players and M,
A. Henry to look after the financial end
of the team, they can't see where the
necessity of a manager comes in.
These are the points on which the
parties to the proposed deal differ
The Henry brothers would of course
desire that the grounds be built on the
Henry McGuire- buckingham lot. Their
purpose in desiring the selection of that
lot is not so much for the valuation it
would give the property, for they think
the selection of the Meher- Bigelow lot
would enhance their land just as much
as if it was the lot selected But if they
invest about $4,000 in stands and fences
they desire those buildings to be on
their own land. for they would be of
no value whatsoever to the Henry bro
Tiers on the Maher- Bigelow. lott
It looks as if the Henry brothers hold
the 18th trump if they want to force
the play. Unless they agree to build the
stands and fences, the chances are the
club will play at the oval, for the man
agement Of the club is averse to put
ting in $4,000 for building grounds.
The Henry brothers and other owners
are seriously contemplating the build
ing of ball grounds and bicycle track
on their land In case the management OF
the Worcesters decides to play ITS
games at the oval. That suggestion was
made to them and It was shown to be
a feasible plan. A bicycle track would
be a money maker. 1t was also suggest
ed to one Of the other lot owners and he
thought well of 1t.
A park there with the Worcesters
playing at the oval would be a power
full weapon against the club. Counter
attractions such as a big bicycle meet
on holidays would mean very small
crowds at the oval.
A strong sentiment would arise
against the club If it played at the
oval, with a suitable ground so near
the city. People would remain away
and insist that the club offer some
inducements for them to attend the
games. 1t is almost certain that the
club would be compelled to play on the
grounds at East worcester, and it
would be only natural for the owners
of the grounds, recognizing the neces-
sity, to charge the management pref
ty stiff figure for rent. 1t would be
cheaper for the management to get in
out of the rain in the first place.
The Henry brothers maintain the
cost of filing the land Of the Henry
Mcguire Buckingham lots would not
be anywhere near as great as Mr.. Selee
figures. He placed the figures at $1,000.
one of the Henry brothers said yester-
dav If the management of the club
will put up $3.50. he will agree to fill

In view Of selecting the first backs for
the Harvard game. An open half of 10
minutes was played later in which
Sharpe and Richards were the backs,
working we'll together on line pIunges
as we'll as end runs. Sharpe's clean
handling of the ball on punts was en-
couraging after his long lay off.
Although the coachers deny that the
center problem is definitely settled, yet
all indications point to Hale as the
man for that position in the big game.
He was in on the varsity side against
Cunha in the secret practice and in
the open work faced Richardson, Cum
ha going to the side lines. Hale was
coached by Cutten, last years center,
during the interval between secret and
open work. Hales work today was on
the line of his playing at tackle, fast
and fierce, but admittedly not alto
gether satisfactory, because the posi-
ton is new to him. He is better than
Cunha, however, on the aggressive.

the land without the cost of another
cent to the club. They had experience
In filling land west of the old car barn
in East Worcester, and think they
know about what it would cost to fill
the proposed Henry Mcclure Bucking-
ham lots.
Worcester people have never known
what success attended the club in a
financial way. Manager Leonard was
always reticent about the money the
club made. He said the club made
money, and that was all he did saw
The Spy is able to give figures of the
money made for the first time they
We're ever given in Worcester.
The attendance at the home games Of
the club last season was about $4,000
people. At SO championship games, an
average of nearly 1000 a game. There
We're 2S00 people at four exhibition
games.
The Worcester club cleared S210O last
season. Manager Leonard received a
salary of $1,000. which makes the earn
ings of the club $4,000. This wasn't bad
on the investment that Charles A.
Marston of Fall River made. He put
UP $500 with President P. T. Powers
Of the Eastern league as. a guarantee
that he would finish the season, which
makes the real base ball investment
5000. That $500 made a net earning of
S21O0, something like 425 per cent. Had
Mr.. Marston conducted the club instead
Of giving it up to manage "a hotel. his
original intention being to run the club,
the salary of the manager would have
gone into the net earning and he would
have realized 675 per cent. That isn't
so bad 1t is better than some of the
much desired stocks and government
bonds bring, just a little
The franchise and property were
valued last season at $1,000 The man
agement undertook to dispose of half
the stock, dividing it into 100 shares at
$25 a share.
The Henry brothers will purchase a
half-interest If the other owners will
consent to building grounds at East
Worcester.

THE ENVY oF EUROPE.

European railroad companies have for
many years conceded the superior service
given by American roads, and within the
last few years they have been patterning
their trains after American models. Their
envy has been stirred to the limit by the
sumptuousness of the Lake Shore Limit
ed, the palatial train running daily be-
tween Boston, New York, Buffalo and
Chicago. No hotel is more luxuriously
furnished. Everything passenger wants
is at his call. A competent stenographer
whose services are free to passengers, Is
on the train. A ladies' waiting maid Is
always ready to be Of service to ladies
and children. An elegant barber shop
and perfectly appointed bath rooms are
also provided. Three libraries, containing
list of standard works. popular novels
and books of reference are distributed
throughout the train. The sleeping cars
are arranged to insure absolute privacy,
while the dining car Is supplied with
everything that the most capricious pal
ate could desire. The train makes the
distance between New York and Chicago
In "a hours maintaining an almost I'M
heard of rate of speed. while perfect
safety is assured. Those who have trav-
