ALL SHARE ALIKE
IN FUTURE GAMES
All Eligibles to Be Given Equal
Portion of Series Is Orders
from Commission.

All players eligible to participate in
post-season contests under the control
of the national commission, whether
worlds or any other series, will re-
ceive equal shares OF the money
awarded 10 their teams. The national
commission will see TO that hereafter.
The practice inaugurated by the
Chicago Cubs in 1908. and followed by
them ever since. of splitting up the
coin to suit themselves and voting half
shares 10 some players. has resul'ed
in several protests TO the national com
mission.
The latest complaint was filed this
fall by three Cub pitchers, Jim
Vaughn. Earl Moore and Eddie Stack.
When the Cubs split the losers share
OF the receipts of the recent cityseries'
these three pitchers were voted half
A share apiece. Another half share
was voted 10 the widow OF the late
Jimmy Doyle. Two players, watson
and stuart. we're given 800 apiece.
This action was taken in spite OF
the fact all players were equally
eligible TO play in the series. The rea-
son given out by the players was that
the men were not entitled TO a full
share as they had been with the Cubs
less than the full season. No consid-
Grafton was taken OF the players who
had been with the Cubs part of the
season. but were sold or traded to
other clubs
Vaughn. Moore and Stack appealed 4
TO the national commission to be I
awarded an equal share with the other .
Cubs. Tae commissioners refused the
petition, but decided no to let il occur
again.

DROP KICK COUNT
MAY DECIDE tilt
Coach Stagg Grooms Maroon
Field Goal Experts to Off
set Work of Bellows.

Airline goals will play an important
part in tomorrows cago-Wisconsin
football game at Marshall field, &C
cording to an eleventh-hour bulletin
from the opposing camps. Three Mid
way goal artists starred in the last
hard practice yesterday at the maroon
camp. while Coach Stagg was prepar-
ing his line to stop the drop kicking
propensities of Quarterback Bellows of
the visiting eleven.
The Chicago director, who has been
working overtime 10 prevent overcon-
fidence at the Midway, urged the play
ers and rooters not to forget that the
badgers would make strong effort
TO score on Bellows drops, and the IN
dustry OF Russell. Harris and Hunting
ton before the goal posts indicated
that the maroons would attempt to
count by a similar method. Aside
from the speciality exhibition, the ma
room practice brought out another
highly polished signal drill.
Bellows toe has been overlooked
by the majority of the maroon sup
porters. according TO Coach Stagg
The badger scored on a drop kick in
the Wisconsin, Minnesota game, and
just missed another attempt, the bail
striking the cross bars on try from
the forty-yard line. Bellows punting
is no, feared in view of Norgren's gilt
edged displays all season.
Russell dropped two goals in the
Chicagc-Purdue game, but has not
spent much time projecting himself in
the stunt. 1t is more than likely, how
ever. that Harris or Huntington of the
plaCe-kicking- staff will attempt to
score by the air route Harris has
been accurate in booting goals after
and Huntington has star
red in practice.
Maroon opinion gives Wisconsin's
line an even show with the maroon
forwards on the basis of past perform
ances. Butler and Buck at the |
tackles are considered superior TO |
Shull and Goettler and Keller and &C. |
lein are regarded as fully the equals !!
of Harris and Scanlon. Des Jardien !
is conceded the advantage over Powell i
at center, but Huntington and Baum !
gartner, the maroon ends, are expect
ed to have theid hands full to equal |
the work of Oftsie and Langley. The
badger forwards are all veterans, and !
he maroons hear that they have got
ten together for a brilliant rally since
