CORBETT WOULD
Fight nelson

New York, May 11.--"They never
come back" they used to say. Kid
Lavigne tried it and failed. Jim Cor
bett tried it and failed, so did Fitz-
simmons, so did Honey Melody in
Paris Saturday night when Willie
Lewis beat him in four rounds-but
what about Young Corbett? Here's
fellow who lost about five straight
three years ago. He dropped out of
the game for good. About six months
ago he thought he'd try again. He
looked over the field and saw none
who could beat him. He re-entered
the ring, and look at him now. Jim
Coffroth has wired Willie, offering him
date with Jimmy Britt and after
that promising him a go with the best
in the world at the lightweight limit,
and Willie feels that he will cop the
title as sure as Nelson is a Dane.
I'm keeping my nose to the grind
"and believe inside of year I'll have
that title that Nelson holds. Who are
the legitimate lightweights, anyway?
Why, there are only few. I'll be
down to that figure in month or SO
and il you'll show me a fellow who
can beat me I'll show you where you're
wrong. Mcfarland, Cross and bunch
of others are too big for the weight.
I'll make it. I'm right now and with
few more fights under my belt its a
cinch."
Well, we all hope that Willie is
right. When you can pick fellow out
like that and say there's fellow who
was champion of the world, and
there's fellow that never fought a
crooked go. you have to wish him well.
Every time he won it was on the
square. That's the kind of record
to have.

HOW THE BIG LEAGUE CLUBS
SPLIT THE MONEY,

The general idea that the visit
ing club gets half or the entire re-
ceipts of game is erroneous.
Before any division of the money
Is made at all, 10 per cent of the
. total receipts, be they $50 or IS, 600
go into the general fund, of which
President Johnson is custodian.
The visiting clubs are then credit
ed with one-half the amount re-
ceived from all 25 and 5O-cent
patrons. 1t is from the grand
stand and box patrons that the
nome club gets it's profits.
This arrangement applies to all
clubs in the American reague ex-
cept the athletics, aid TO ali clubs
in the National league except the
Phillies.
The Philadelphia Grub clings to
the old Quaker city custom of
settling with the visiting team on
the basis of a quarter general adj
mission. The same rule applies.
of course, when the athletics and
the Phillies are on the road.
Thus, if the athletics played in
Detroit to a crowd of 10000, their
share of the receipts would be
l,125, or 11A cents per spectator.
So, too, were the tigers to play
to 10000 people in Philadelphia,
even were 5000 of these grand
stand spectators, Detroit's check
would call for only $l,125. although
the total receipts would be $1,000
or more. Ea - &
For the same sized crowd in
New York the Detroit share would
be close to $4,000.
