PROFITS OF FOOTBALL
HOW COLLEGE ATHLETIC ASSOCIA-
TIONS USE THEIR MONEY.
Business Machine Which Handles the
Finances of Harvard Athletics
-Watchful Oversight.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. 2.-The Har-
ward and Yale football game to-day left
about $4,000 to be divided between the
treasures of the athletic associations of
the two universities after paying such extra
expenses as the printing of tickets and the
construction of the special seats used only
for this game.
1t is a matter of interest what becomes
of such an enormous sum as the big games
net Harvard and Yale each year. SO far
as Harvard is concerned the answer is
easy After years of undergraduate con-
troll of each branch of athletics, separately
and independently, SO that while the eleven
had money TO spare and waxed extrava-
CANT as it became prosperous, the crew. for
example, was a. drag on the college, sup
ported solely by subscriptions and never
free from debt, in 1892 the university
stepped in and systematized the manage
ment of athletics at Harvard. To-day the
system has grown into the perfection Of a
business machine as perfect in its way as
bank or great insurance company.
The proceeds of the Harvard Yale game
always constitute the largest amount re-
ceived by Harvard from a single game dur
ing the year. But while large amount
Of money is received from the several
football games it is not enough to cover
more than the running expenses connected
with the various branches of athletics at
Harvard, and Soldiers Field, the athletic
grounds, the new boathouse dedicated ten
days and the gift of the New York Har-
ward Club, the Carey building, with its
rowing tank and baseball cage, and the
locker building were all due to the gen.
erous contributors of the graduates.
The entire supervision and control of all
athletic exercise within and without the
precincts of Harvard University are in
charge of the committee on the regulation
of athletic sports. This committee, COM
consists of three members of the univer-
sity's faculty, three graduates of the col
lege, and three undergraduates, who ap-
point a graduate manager of athletics.
whose duties are to exercise a general
oversight OF all the accounts OF the vari-
Gus athletic organizations of the uniVer-
sity. and to have charge of all the athletic
grounds and buildings. All money made
b. any OF the teams is turned over to him.
and all expenses of the varsity teams
are met by him. During the year a very
large sum of money passes through his
hands

An Up-TOwn Wedding.

1t is not often that the laity have an
opportunity to celebrate a clergyman S
wedding. The proportion of men of
the cloth being very small ITO other
mortals and the connubial events
anon gthis class accordingly in the
majority of cases being comparatively
rare it is an opportunity, TO miss
which would be crime, to throw
shoes, rice and ether articles at the
clergyman without any such gifts be-
ing attributed by the latter to any
| lurking feeling of resentment, on ac-
count of long and tedious sermons
which have been patiently endured by
| the churchgoer. Whether or not this
| feeling predominated among the
crowd of young people, large major
| ity of whom were girls, a humble
newspaper man would not presume to
say, but this much is certain, that last
nights bride and groom were given
solos, duets and quartets on every sort
of an instrument, and all these COM
bined at once for several hours.
The OCCASION of so much musical
display was the wedding of Rev. w. E.
Brinkman, pastor of St. Lukes Evan
gelical Lutheran church, and Miss
Frieda Strauss, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. d. Strauss. The wedding oc-
Cured at the home of the
bride, 306 Washington street and
was witnessed by thirty-five friends
and relatives of the contracting part
| les.
The color scheme of the decorations
was white and green, the tables and
chandeliers being covered with smilax
and other vines.
The ceremony took place in one cor
ner of the room, which at this place
was filled with a profusion of potted
plants, palms, etc. Mendollsohn' 5
wedding march was played on the
piano by Miss Marietta Strauss. The
ring service was used and the words of
the marriage ceremony were pro-
nounced by Rev. Roe.
The bride presented "a charming ap-
pearance in a dress of white Paris
muslin with point lace trimmings. The
bridesmaids were Misses Louise Lang
and Flora Strauss, who were becom-
| lingly gowned.
Refreshments were served during
the course of the evening.
Mr.. and Mrs Brinkman were the re-
cipients Of many beautiful and costly
presents.
The bridesmaids and the pianist
were presented with very pretty opal
rings by the groom.
Rev. and Mrs. Brinkman left on the
11:40 train Monday evening for an ex-
tended visit of three weeks duration
through Illinois and the southern part
of Wisconsin.
May unruffled peace and unstinted
prosperity visit the hearthstone of
Rev. and Mrs. Brinkman is the wish
of the Leader.

SHARKEY FAILS TO APPEAR.
Fitzsimmons Declares Fight on and Offers 10
Fight Kid Mccoy.

New York, March 20.-The proposed
fight between Bob FitZsimmons and
Tom Sharkey is off. Promptly at l
o'clock this afternoon, FitZsimmons
appeared at the Delevan house, as
agreed upon. last night. He was soon
followed by Al Smith, who acted as re-
ceiver of bids, Tom ORouke, repre-
senting the Seaside Sporting Club of
Coney Island and Sharkey, Martin
Julian. for the Westchester A. c. of
Tuckahoe, n. Y. and George Tucker
of the same club. All repaired to a
private room. where O'Rourke and
Julian handed AL Smith certified checks
for $4,000 each. Then there was a wait
for Sharkey. who had agreed to appear
with his forfeit of $4,000.
During the wait there was some ar
gument between Julian and O'Rourkc
as to the details of the proposed fight
O'Rourke stood by his proposition of
last night. offering GO per cent. of the
gross receipts Of the club, while Julian
still offered G7 per cent. on behalf OF
the Westchester A. e. O'Rourke tried
to show that 80 per cent. at the Sea-
side was better than g. per cent. at
Tuckahoe. He claimed that the seat
ing capacity OF the seaside A. I. was
the greater. Julian said he was famil-
lar with the Seaside A. c. and knew
that the Westchester a. c. could ac-
commodate as many. if not more pat
rons than the former organization. on
behalf of the Westchester Club Julian
offered 80 per cent. Of what might be
received from the picture privilege.
O'Rourke did not make any offer on
that line.
At 130 O'Clock, FitZsimmons said that
as Sharkey had not appeared with his
forfeit the fight was off. Julian then
said that the offer of his club stood
good with FitZsimmons and any other
man he might select who would agree
to fight him. FitZ said that was ac-
ceptable to him and that he would Sc
lect Kid Mccoy. The party then
broke up. F'itz. Julian, Al Smith and
George Tucker adjourning to McCoy's
cafe.
When Mccoy heard the proposition
he said he was agreeable and Fitzsim-
mons and he agreed to meet at Me
Coy's place. at noon, next Saturday.
