WILL LOSE MONEY
Ball Players Find Fault With
Post Season Pans
Special to The Globe

Special to The Globe
BOSTON, April ia careful study OF
the agreement drawn up to cover the
worlds championship series next fall has
convinced a number of the players that
there is going to be little financial re-
turn for the American and National
league team players that will battle for
the title next October. One man, in dis
cussing the arrangement, said recently:
AS ii is now, the most that one can
expect is about $500 for each player of
the winning team and about 5000 for the
losers. When the commission drew up
that system of dividing the receipts of
the first four games they did not over
look the club owners. Just think, only 40
per cent of the gross of the first four
games goes TO the players, rs per cent OF
that to go to the winner and 20 per cent
TO the loser. Any way that you may wish
to figure it out, the most that any player
can get is 500. What the National COM
mission should have done was to have
accepted the proposition of each league
taking $4,000 out of the league fund, max
ing purse of $4,000 for the two teams
TO battle for. That would have made it
an object for the players to play fast ball
all season. Another plan that would have
brought out the best in the players would
have been for the clubs to offer SO, 900 for
division among the team winning the
pennant and $4,000 for the players who
won the worlds championship.

left TO a committee from the two asso-
Citations, which will arrange the makeup

Keogh was his nearest opponent, finish

boy challenged De ORC to a match and the
latter accepted. Both deposited $1,50O
as a guarantee of good faith, and then De
ORC asked for a postponement of the
match, claiming that on account of an
accident to one of his children he could
not play for some time. Keogh refused
to accede to this, and a majority of the
sporting public thought he was right. He
then made a claim for the title and has
been awarded it, besides the forfeit money
of De ORC.

RESPESS HAS HOPES
Dick WeIles, Mile Champion, Is
Rounding Into Shape
Special to The Globe

Speclal 10 Inc GlODe
CINCINNATI, o., April I5.-Dick
Welles, holder of the worlds record at
one mile over a circular track is being
trained at ]. V. Respess' small private
track at Woodlawn. Thus far the great
son of King Eric has not been given any
thing more severe than a quarter mile
sallop, but the encouraging feature is
that he is going soundly and seems likely
to stand training.
Mr.. Respess realizes that the possibil-
ity of bringing his favorite back to the
races fit to compete in hard contests is
rather remote. and he does not intend to
waste any money i'm forfeits until the
horse gives promise that he will at least
be able to start.
So far no engagements have been made
in stake events, and, according to the
present plans the record holder will re-
main at the Woodlawn farm until June
l, and will not. therefore, be seen with
the colors up before July. The scene of
Dick Welles' first attempt after his long
retirement has not been decided upon.
The remainder Of the Respess horses have
been racing at City Park, New Orleans,
and will be shipped to Nashville Monday.
Respess has reserved stable room at the
Union track in St Louis and evidently
intends TO race there.
