Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1913-10-24
BY J. ED GRILLo.

Because of the ill-feeling that has
developed In some instances over the
distribution of the worlds series money
among the Giants it is being advocated
that the commission pass a rule plac-
ing the matter In the hands Of the
managers of the contesting teams.
There is. however, little chance of the
commission taking such a stand, and
the managers. too. are sure to put in
an objection against having such an
unpleasant duty put up to them.
Under the present system the play
ers of the contending teams meet sew
eral days before the series begins and
come TO some understanding as to how
the money Is to be divided. The regu-
lars, of course, always share alike, but
there are other individuals to be taken
care of. No manager would want to
take this privilege from the players.
and while there have been numerous
instances when the players division
has caused dissatisfaction. the same
condition would probably exist II 1t
was left to the managers to cut up the
spoils.
The baseball rumor factory is working
overtime. Following on the heels OF the
tales that Bresnahan was going to man
age Brooklyn, and that Konetchy had
been traded to the Giants. comes the story
that McGraw had traded RUDE Marquard
for George Tyler, the Boston Braves
crack left-hander. All these deals are
being made while McGraw is touring the
world with the Giants and Sox, and he
may find himself with an entirely new
ball team when he returns.
Critics who have been discussing the
relative qualities of Schnag and Schalk,
the two catching sensations of the past
season, have overlooked young man
who compares favorably with either of
the two youngsters mentioned-Sam Ag-
new Of the st. Louis Browns. In some
respects Agnew, in fact, is given the
preference over either Schang or Schalk

criticize, might see where the income

the hens are II mixed lot. no attempt
has ever been made to increase the

income by making garden on the
