Matches Played in Philadelphia Yield
IL $f55,6s5.56 for Widows and Or
phans-Annual Financial Report
! Issued

Il Phils9elphia, Jan. l.-NoSwith-
standing the fact that the University
Of Pennsylvania received 500 seats less
this wear than ever before, the Penn
syivania Committee has been able to
send the sum of S1S,S52.4S to the
Army and Navy charities. Checks for
his amount were sent to the treasur-
ers of the respective charities by DIR.
T. William White, the chairman of the
Pennsylvania Committee. This makes
a total of s155,66S.S6 which, these
two worthy charities have received
from the proceeds of the sale of tickets
allotted to the committee in charge OF
The grounds on which the games have
been played.
This, until this year. amounted TO
one-third of the entire number of tick
cts sold. This year, however, the Penn
Eylvania Committee received consdde
erably less than one-third of the total
number of tickets, $4,000 having been
uilotted to the Army and Navy Ath-
ietie Associations. Notwithstanding this
fact, the net proceeds are only $4,000
less than they were in 1912. The tick
cts are now sold at IS each.
The game was first played on Frank
lin Field in 1899: and in that year
and the three following years the tick
ets~allotted to the Pennsylvania Com
mittee were distributed free. In those
years about 5000 went TO the Army,
5000 to the Navy, and the balance TO
the University.
The demand for tickets became 50
great that in 1903 the Pennsylvania
Committee deeidedAto sell its share Of
tickets and divide the proceeds between
the societies which take care of widows
and orphans Of officers and men diving
in the two services.
All of the games since 1899 have
been played upon Franklin Field, with
the exception of 1905. when the game
was played at Princeton, and 1918,
when the game was played on the Polo
Grounds in New York City.
IN 1909 tine game was called off on
account of the death of one of the ca
diets as result Of an injury received
ON the football field. Within the last
seven wears the seating capacity of
franklin Field has been increased from
1924 to almost $4,000.

new YORK Giants MADE A
LARGE sum FOR owners
Net Profits Of the National League
Baseball Club for Three Seasons
Were $4t6,79I, According to Rec
ortis of Brush Estate

New York, Jsn. IA statement of
profits of the National Exhibition Com
psny, the corporation which Controls
the New York National League club anu
the Polo Grounds. is contained in the
report OF the appraiser of the estate
of the hate John L. Brush. chief stock
holder in the company, made public yes
terday. During the three seasons pre-
eeding Mr.. Brush S death-1s10, 1911
and 1s12-the total net profits of the
company are given as S416,Is1.
The appraiser puts Mr.. Brush 5 toSsl
estate at s4I0,102, and the net value
at S415,625. The share of Mrs. Elsie
Brush, the widow, is appraised at
S1S4,S15. and the same value is set
on the shares of her two daughters,
Eleanor Brush Hampstead and NStaiie
Lombard Brush.
Mr.. Brush owned 1906 shares of the
National Exhibition Company. The ex-
ecutors of the estate, Harry n. Hemp
stead and Nelson Ashley Lloyd, placed
their estimate of the value OF this
stock at S1S0,600, but Transfer Tax
Appraiser John 7. Martin, after hesg-
ing the testimony regarding the assets
of that corporation. raised the value
TO $S4S.702. Among other property.
Mr.. Brush owned 966 shares in an In
dianapolis clothing company, which are
appraised at SS9,49S.
The report shows that the Polo
Grounds are held under a lease. which
was made in 1911 and which runs for
twenty-one years from that date, at an
annual rental OF $4,000.
The lease is appraised as of no mar
ket value, and this is based by the ex.
pert real estate appraiser upon the
ground that the property could be used
for no other purpose and that its value
will depend entirely upon the popular
ity OF the sport OF baseball
