Proposed retrenchment that would

at protracted meeting. President
Chivington said 1t was unlikely that
the player limit would be cut to sixteen
but admitted that 1t might be reduced
from the twenty now allowed each
team in the playing season.
1t was decided finally not to go back
TO the one umpire system, which was
proposed some time ago as measure
OF economy. Most of the club owners
fought the reduction, viewing it as a
sign of weakness, while others thought
the game would be hurt in the eyes O,

NEW YORK. Feb. 23-Although Pat

floating Kansas City franchise Of the
Federal League. has repeatedly stated
that he had not yet decided on either
Newark or the Bronx for the location
of the club. those close to Federal

Wisconsin Eleven Has
Richest Year in History

MADISON. Wis. Feb. 22.-Football re-
for the season of 1914 aggregated s4I.-
6l9.07. according to the report given
out at athletic headquarters by Director
George w. Ehler This is the largest
sum that has ever been realized from
football here. In 1913 the receipts were
s33.21s.41. a difference of $s.40O.66.
The only reason for this gain, accord
ing to Director Ehler is increased inter-
est in the gridiron sport. The fact that
Illinois was added to the Wisconsin
schedule also tended to boost the attend
ance by giving the Badgers two homo
games instead of one.
Expenses for the season were approxi-
mately $21 ,9SS.50. giving the athletic de-
partment surplus Of s19.630.57, al
against 4,604.7S in 1913.
