repeated the Lords prayer in con
cert Many of these children were
tots and some of them went to sleep
in their chairs while the exercises

added a large roll of bills to the play.
ers' share of the worlds series receipts
and the golden plum for which the two
teams are battling now can be figured
to a cent.
The sum which will be divided
among the players at the end of the
series amounts To $33, 401.70. which is
NEARLY $4,000 more than the New York
Giants and Philadelphia Athletics re-
ceived from the worlds series of 1908.
This showing, despite the wretched
weather for the first two games of the
1906 series. is remarkable and indi-
Gates there is greater interest than if
two clubs from different cities had
been competing for the worlds pen
nant.
Players DivVy en- Four.
| Tie players get no financial benefits
from any except the first four games
! played. the object being to remove from
the minds of a doubling public any
| suspicion that the championship is not
determined as soon as possible. Con
lsequently the Cubs and SoX can figure
up now what sum they will cut up at
the finish, winning or losing.
To the winner of the pennant will go
80 per cent of the $50 .05I.S6. The club
which loses the series will divide up the
remainder, or SS.35O.G2. The Cubs have
fewer men eligible TO the series than
have the SoX, but on a basis of 20 men
To a team each player of the winning
side would receive for his share around
$1,000. and each player of the losing
team nearly $3.50.
Gross Receipts SI9-9S9-3O.
The gross receipts yesterday were
S19.9S9.50. which comes pretty near
being the largest sum ever taken i'll at
a baseball game. The players share
of this was $1O,794.33, nearly half the
players share of the three previous
games played here.
The receipts of the remaining three
games will be divided equally between

PREAMBLE TO New
FOOTBALL RULINGS
Roughness Must Be Eliminated
by Closer Observation by
officials.

NEW YORK. May 1s.-Dr. James A.
Babbtt, Of Havcrford, the secretary
OF the American Intercollegiate Foot
ball Rules committee. has just made
public the preamble to the new rules
for the coming season on the gridiron.
The preamble, as It now stands, was
suggested at the sixth meeting held by
the committee. and with perhaps ono
or two minor changes in the wording
Will be at the opening OF the rule book
for 1906
Particular stress Is laid on the point
that rule-makers cannot expurgate the
element of roughness and unfair play,
but the committee suggests the rem
edy in a closer observation by the Of
fcials on the field of penalties for in
fractions, and in addition advises tho
officers OF football playing colleges to
metc out severe punishment for Of
tenders.
Preamble to Rules.
The preamble to the rules follows:
Tho committee believes that football,
like all games involving personal con-
tact OF players. must be dependent for
It's equality and continuance upon the
spirit In which the game is played.
Improvement In this spirit Is measured
by the degree TO which unnecessary
roughness and unfair play are elm
mated. This elimination cannot be ef
fected by rule e-makers but II can be
accomplished by a strict enforcement
of the rules and by the drastic pun
ishment OF habitual offenders by the In
stitutions which they represent.
Committees Appointed.
The committee has appointed a SUBJ
committee TO aid in the more intelligent
and efficient enforcement of the rules
This sub committee does not intend or
desire to force upon the several inSti-
tutions undesired jurisdiction, nor does
II plan to interfere with their official
action. 1t stands ready. however, to
aid in every way in It's power in the
Improvement of the quality or the Of
flclals. and will furnish explanation and
Interpretation of the rules whenever re-
quested to do 30
The committee has increased the pen
alties for offenses OF n brutal nature
and formally urges that all instltu-
tions playing under these rules shall
bar from the game for a year any
player disqualified twice during a sea-
son for such play,
