ON WINNING CLUB WILL
Get MORE THAN $4,000 FROM DIvvY

New York, Oct. 12.-BasebalI statis-
ticians fighue out today that S162,927,
the players share of the receipts from
the present worlds SERIES is the larg-
est sum ever divided among the mem
bers of two clubs in any worlds series.
! Sixty per cent of it goes to the win
ners and 40 per cent to the losers.
If Boston wins the series each of the
twenty-six members of that club will
received s3.332.94 and each of the
Brooklyns s2,715.41. If Brooklyn
should win each of the twenty-four
players of that club will pocket
S4,O73.1O, which would set a new rec
ord for the amount won by individual
players in any worlds series. Should
Boston lose. the players of that club
would receive s2,506.53 each.
Attendance Less.
Altho the attendance at the first
four games this year has been nearly
1900 less than last year, the receipts
er than in 1915. the total for four days
this year being s301,717. The best
previous mark of four games was in
the series between the New York Ma
tionals and the Boston Americans in
1912, when the total receipts were
s273,282.
The attendance was almost 1900
more than this year but higher prices
for seats have prevailed in 1915. For
the remaining games of the series the
players will have nc share in the re-
ceiptS.
Ebbets Wants to Quit
Charles H. Ebbets, president of the
Brooklyn club, in discussing his offer
to sell his club. said today that he had
several offers for his stock, believed t.
be 81 per cent of the total. He would
not say what price he set upon It, nor
whether any of the offers were near
mis- demand He said he was still en-
thusiastic over the game but tired aft
er thirty-four years in the executive
end of the sport.

time the Ichabod backs were thrown
for loss, because of the success of
the fast and heavy Friends line n
breaking thru and getting the man
carrying the ball before the Wash
burn plays were well on their way.
Several times the Friends ends skirted
the ends of the Washburn team and
touched the man carrying the ball be-
fore he could get past the line OF
scrimmage- Such defense will carry
the Wichita team thru to the title I'M
less some team in the conference is
much stronger than it Las shown up to
the present time or Friends is unfor-
tunate enough TO have injuries that
will weaken the line.
Friends used both the old style and
aerial attacks successfully. Severa!
forward passes were made for long
gains. They have a criss cross play
that is battling and it was used for
long gains around the Washburn
play successful.
WashburE tried everything and
could make first down but a few
times. The forward pass of the Ken
nedy team, a long pass down the field
to the advancing ends, was broken up
In straight football the Washburn
men were often downed in their
tracks. This also occurred when they
tried to run back punts.
QuaIers Veterans.
The Friends U. machine is not a new
one. Banbury's boys have been play
ing together for long time, some of
them having been varsity material for
two or three years. For this reason
they are a finished machine now. Tho
only danger that confronts them is
that they may possibly Ego stale" be-
fore their annual Turkey Day battle

There hasn't been a better ground
gamer in the Kansas conference in
years than Captain Parr, the star
tackle of Friends. He is used in the
back field en- offense and he waded
thru the Washburn line and skirted
the ends for long gains. In running

passes and tackling opposing runners

.258 last year, but came right back
this season with something like 1920.
Hobby and Cheney Lucky.
Another brace of lucky guys" are
Dick HoblitZel. first baser for the Sox,
and Larry Cheney, the spitban per
former for the Dodgers. Both were
considered "all in by their former
club owners. No one wanted to bu;,
EN- So waivers were asked.
The Sox needed first baseman Just
about the time the Reds wanted to
get rid of Hoblitzel and they took him
for $1,000. The next season-1915-
Hoblitzel busted into the world series
and took unto himself large portion
of the world series spondulics And
now he's in for another big share
Cheney failed miserably with the
Cubs during his last year or two in
Chicago 1t looked like the minors for
him but, at the last minute, Ebbets
picked him up for $1,000. And now
Larry is going to have the pleasure of
spending-or saving-a nice big sum
of money for his share of the world
series spoils.

Quarterbacking.


The quarterback must. above all
else, nave good head and be leader
of men. He runs the team on the
field even more than the CAPTAIN. for
1t is up to the quarterback to choose
the plays. A boy, to become a good
quarterback, must study up the vari-
Gus kind of plays. He must know he
peculiarities of his backfield and his
line men. He must decide in a mo-
Inent Just what play to use, he must
know the rules, he must decide in an
instant what the weak points of the
defense are-in a word, he is constant
iy studying and thinking, both while
he is on the field ard off it.
The quarterback must be able TO
catch punts, for he has to handle a
great part of the balls in the back
field. A popular idea is that the quar-
terback should be a small. man If
a big man is fast on rs Sect and clev-
or in handling his feet and hands, in
addition to having a good head, there
is no reason why he should not make
a good quarterback. Alec Wilson of
Yale, who weighed 1876 pounds, was
one OF the games best quarterbacks
during his sophomore year. His next
two years he was not SO good. In the
last two years he was played a lot at
halfback. 1 always thought that quar-
terback was his place.
1t takes more hard work to become
a real quarterback than it does to be
a halfback. for the former it means
continual studying of men and condi-
tons of play besides being able to per-
form the physical feats of the game.
Most boys starting out like to play in
the back field because they think that
there is more chance to shine in the
way of carrying the ball for long runs.
OF course, this is true to a certain ex-
tent, but in college football the line
men have prominence and are just as
well thought of as the back field men.

The foot ball teams now in the proc

thought that Virginia will be able to

WRIGHT CONFIRMS REPORT.
Admits Giving Patent Rights in
Britain to Government.

DAYTON, Ohio, October 1.-THE
story that I have turned over to the
British government our patent rights
in Great Britain is substantially cor
rect" said Orville Wright, at the flying
field east of Dayton yesterday after
noon, in referring to an English mag
azine- article which says that the
Wright patents are to be turned over
to the government.
Our patent rights in England expire
next spring" explained Mr.. Wright,
land we will not have them extended.
This naturally means that the rights
may, under the English law. be taken
up by machine makers there. How
ever" he added, machines made under
such right cannot be marketed outside
of England"
Mr. Wright stated that patent rights
in several other countries would expire
later, and that it was not the intention
to have them renewed, and for this
reason partly the English rights will
be allowed to revert to the govern
ment.
When seen Mr.. Wright was flying at
the station near Simms.
