Mclean Unfairly Dealt With in
Division Of the World Series
Money.


Tho N~s York World.
THE row among the New York ,
players over the division Of the
q worlds series spoils will lead
TO the National Commission taking
hand In tae matter. When the series
was inauguratcd IL was the general
understanding that all the eligible
players of "a team would receive equal
shares. When Larry Mclean made his
protest the public learned for tho frst
tame that this was not the rule. Mclean
was entitled TO a full share. IL ever u
player Was. Iie came TO the Giants at
. time when the team had to have the
services Of q good emergency man. We
won't say that his appearance In Now
York won the ponnant, but n one
wants 20 look back over tho scores
from the timo Mclean Joined tho team,
and emergency work made II rather
easy calling for tho Giants in the clos
ing days Of the pennant fight
Mclean was tho only classy catcher
available after tho frt game OF the
series Meyers could not have done
better work than did Mclean. II
wasn't Larry's '"rlt that the Giants
won only one game Had . few Of hts
teammates done a. well with tho bat.
several thousand New York fans would
not be 80 poor to-day. Wonder what
Mclean would have received II tho
Giants had won the worlds series,
aided by the timely stick work Of Larry.
Maybe Meyers and the rest Of the team
would have consented to contribute
eso.5O each 30 that the catcher could
have . tribe over 5000 for his work.

In this instance he concluded that he

isn't going to wreck the A. A. ". II
can stop him. and am almost positive
that he won't get away with anythtng

'"To me It Is an astonishing propo-
sltion: the most astonishing that 'hai

will not be taken seriously by any onS

sullivan says. Kirby will be swampeC
when he tries to advance HIS ideas
This would indicate that the so-callsC
ruler OF amateur athletics has alread,
received assurances from the outsld,
that he will be ably supported In h!
night against Kirby
Instead of giving amateurs lseway
the rules should be strengthened, is IN,
idea that sullivan advances. Our den
