by ChriSty MatheWSon. on the treatment
they receive in the division of the world :
series receipts may bring about change
in the present system. which allows every
player in each major league to get a
slice of the money.
MathewsOn in statement published

are not satisfied with the recent arrange
ment. He says that a tie game should
not count part of one of the four in
which the players share in the receipts,
and that there should be other conces-
sionS made by the owners.
1t was announced that the players were
to have a meeting while EN- route from
Boston to New York last night to frame
up some sort of protest against the
present system. and the threat has been
made that unless these concessions are
granted the players will refuse to take
part in any worlds series games in the
future.

per cent of the gross receipts. after 10

Chances Greatly Favor Georgetown.

The chances are much in favor of
Georgetown winning. The Blue and Gray
eleven is composed of much more exp
rienced players than is the Washington
and Lee combination, and. by all ac-
counts, is working fairly we'll George
town will present a team which will be
as heavy, almos., that which rep
resented ii last fall The Blue and Gray
eleven should average somewhere i'm the
ne ghborhood of 10 pounds Washington
and Lee will average about the same.
Georgetown expects Washington and
Lee to uncover "A lot of forward passes
and has built its defense accordingly.
The Lexington eleven will be heavy,
though. and maybe il will present uneX-
pected strength in line-smashing. What
ever the style of game to be encountered
by Georgetown the chances are that it
will not have the easy time winning that
is generally expected.
Both elevens have played two games n
