Chicago. Oct. THE first clash i'll
the battle for the worlds baseball
championship will come off in Chicago
tomorrow. if the weather man does not
prevent. The first two games of the
series will be played on the west side
grounds, then three in Detroit, and a
| sixth in this city if necessary. The
rival teams will divide the players
share of the receipts 60 per cent TO tle
winner and 40 per cent to the loser,
| and there will be no admissions sold
under 81.
These were the most important of
the many details settled by the national
of the worlds series yesterday during
Its special meeting at the Annex, the
Chicago champions being represented
| by President c. W. Murphy and the
Detroit champions by Secretary Frank
| J. Navin.
| These dates are subject to automatic
change, with one exception, in case
rain or other causes interfere with car
rying out the schedule as prepared. If
either of the first two games scheduled
| in Chicago is postponed the teams will
remain here and play it off before 60
ing to Detroit In the same way, il
any of the games scheduled for Detroit
lare prevented they will be played off
on the Tigers grounds, except that If
the series lasts that long, the game of
Sunday will be played in Chicago, on
account of the inferior size of the De
troit plant which will be swamped un-
der week day crowds, without taking
chances of handling a Sunday crush.
Change Division of Pool.
Hitherto the rules governing the
worlds series called for a division of
the players pool 70 per cent to the
winner and % per cent to the loser.
This has been changed to award 60
per cent to the winner and 40 per cent
to the loser. ..
| This players pool is made up of .
portion of the receipts of the first four
games only, insuring a decision of the
series in four straight games if posi-
BILE. After deducting 10 per cent of the
gross receipts of the first four games
for the national commissions expenses
in conducting the series, go per cent
of the balance is set aside for the play
ers and 40 per cent for the club own
ers, who divide their shares of the re-
lceipts equally. If more han four games
are played the players get no share in
the receipts from them, the club own
ers dividing them half and half after
the national commissions 10 per cent
is deducted.

Western Roads Must Make
Terms With Employees.
Uliimatum Issued By Repre-.
ssntatives Of the Unions.
Railroads Waiting to See What the
Government will Do.

Chicago, March 28.-"The controversy
over a wage scale between the gener-
al managers of the Western railroads
and their employees in the train service
cannot be arbitrated and the only way
in which a strike can be averted is for
the officials of the roads to make terms
with the men,"
This is the ultimatum issued by the
representatives, of the two unions in
voIved in the difficulty after meeting
tonight to consider the action of the
railroads in asking the federal govern
ment to endeavor to bring about a set
Element by mediation, along the lines
provided by the Erdmann act. The
move by the general managers was
considerable length by union represen-
tatives, but the proposition was re-
jected and resolution passed refus-
ing to arbitrate the wage scale with
anybody.
The general manager tonight, for the
first time, admitted that the situation
is grave. The crisis is intensified by
the fact that no compromise had been
effected with the representatives of
Is 600 locomotive firemen, who are here
negotiating for wages and an eight
hour day. A conference was held to-
day between the General Managers
Association and a committee repr esent-
ing the firemen, but nothing in the
way of settlement was accomplished.
Secretary Slason Thompson, of the
General Managers Association said TO-
night:
I'VE. are awaiting to see what the
government will do. We don't expect
to hear directly IL answer to our re-
quest that the whole difficulty should
be arbitrated along the lines suggested
by the Erdm&nn act, but we believe
that when the labor leaders receive
word from Washington that the gov
ernment has been asked to take hand.
the representatives of the unions will
look at the matter in a different light.
We are not looking for trouble, but we
have made all the concessions that we
can afford under present conditions and
the sooner the men become reconciied
to this the better it will be for every
one concerned
