While this matter Of organized ball is
on, here is a nice bit Of a row conjured UP
by the Sporting News OF ST. Louis over the
case Of Pitcher Brown. Last summer the
Beard OF Control left Brown at Omaha,
pending q rehearing Of the claim of Terre
Haute II was admitted that Brown had
never signed a contract with Terre HRute.
and that the claim OF that club was based
on the fact that he had pitched there part
Of one season on trial. 1t was equally
admitted that William A. Rourke OF
Omaha had contracted with Brown in good
faith. and that he had paid him a higher
salary than Terre Haute. offered. II was
also established that Brown would not
sign a contract with Terre HRute, even II
he wore taken away from Omaha. While
President Sexton was acting as president
Of the Three-I league. he awarded Brown
to Terre Haute, and then as president OF
tho Western he decided that the pitcher
might stay with Omaha. Now that Brown
has gone to Chicago, the Sporting News is
worried as TO who will get him II he
doesn't make good. Mordeoai's friends in
Omaha are not worried about his making
good. but the point as TO who will be en-
titled to his services ought to be easily
settled. The Terre Huute claim wal too
diaphanous to attract attention from any
thing but n base ball board CT control.
Bill Rourke refused to be held up for the
$500 Terre Haute demanded for Browns
release. and that II where the whole mat
ter originated. It's outcome was another
victory for organized ball. and for a
wonder. Rourke didn't get the worst Of Il
that time.

Chieago's schedule for next season, says
the Chicago Tribune. is not likely to In
clude Minnesota, Chicago men would feel
no particular citation in beating Minneapolis,
which is not a natural geographical rival
while a defeat would be disappointing. But
tho real reason is that Chicago has hard
enough games now. Michigan. Wisconsin,
Northwestern and Illinois are natural rivals
and furnish the ground work for Stages
schedule. Nebraska wants n date, which Is
a hazardous experiment. considering the
chance Of injuries and with nothing to gain.
Many teams do not understand that vic
tori~s over elevens whose home university
is at Il great distance means nothing TO
Chicago. except perhaps a small quota OF
honor. while defeat Is humiliatinE, But
victories over long standing rivals Is OIL
cago's keynote now and should be the key
note OF western football instead Of an all
| absorbing ambition TO win a championship,
q place into which Michigan was forced by
It's schedule and the unexpected happenings
Of tho season.
The successful management Of n prom
inent football team through a season Is a
business of no little magnitude. A few
figures may serve to make plain the
amount Of business" connected with the
financial direction Of an eleven. Take Yale.
II has been estimated that the blue closed
the season with q net profit OF S25. 900. It's
share Of the gate in the Harvard game,
after oil expenses were paid, was about
S25, 900. The total amount netted from the
smaller games is figured at 10000, and
the Princeton game added $4,000 more
This makes q total OF about $50. 900, leaving
a neat balance Of $40. 900 to the credit of
tho athletic board Of the university.

ent-day football is made. according to the

Last summer Charles Frank, owner, and
Newt Fisher, manager OF the Memphis
club OF the Southern league, told the Amer
lean Association Of Minor Leagues to GO
take a Jump at itself, absolutely refused
to abide by a decision OF the board, and
dehed the authorities. At the close Of the
season they went to work, organized a
new league, and said the old one could 20
hang. In the meantime President Pat
Powers and his cohorts were breathing
forth the direst anathemas Of base ball
and that brand is a little bit the direst
that was ever. against Frank and
Fisher. and even the Hickeyites
withdrew the right hand Of fellowship from
the outlaws. They were accommodated
for fair, and don't you forget 1t. The
