FOLWELL NOT SIGNED
Successful Coach May Not Agree
to Pennsy's Terms.

PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 24-Bob Fol-
well may not coach the University of
Pennsylvania football team next fail
Folwell coached the Penn eleven
to a victory over Cornell last season,
and somewhat because of this he has
requested a salary of $4,000 from his
alma mater. 1t is understood that
FoIweIl would ask at least $1,000 more
from any other college than his own.
The Penn athletic authorities differ
with Folwell as to his worth as a
coach. and in the meantime other
coaching appointments are being held
up. Sentiment also figures in these
as the men involved are
former Penn men.
1t is known that Folwelrs salary
last year called for considerably less
than $4,000.

WEEGHMAN LEARNS
TRUTH ABOUT GAME
Finds That Players Are Not
Slaves and That Salaries
Must Come Down.
~ JOE villa.

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-"our salary
list in 1915 was t145.ooo." says Presi-
dent Charles weeghman. of the ChIca-
60 Cubs mo major league club
should pay more than SIS, 1000 a year
to its players. Expenses must be re-
duced II responsible business men are
expected to remain interested In the
national pastime"
Weeghman went with the late Fed
eral League In Chicago laboring un-
der the delusion that baseball PLAYERS
were slaves. He had been Informed
that the major league magnates had
treated their players unfairly and de-
served to be driven out Of the game
But Weeghman as q National
League club owner has learned a
great lesson. He was responsible for
the $145.000 salary list of last year,
yet in return for this big outlay he
saw the Cubs finish in the second di-
vision for the FIRST time In many
years.
Got Normal saIaries-
Weeghman. doubtless. has learned
too that when the Cubs under the
leadership of Frank Chance won PEN
nants and worlds championships they
received normal salaries. In those
days the Chicago club payroll did not
exceed $4,000, II is said. yet the Chi
cago players gave splendid exhibitions
of the national pastime and earned a
fortune for Charles Webb Murphy.
For that reason Weeghman feels
justified in reducing the Cubs sal
aries to a figure that will enable the
h. ~ 70
thing on their investment OF $500 900
which was paid to Charles p. Taft
and Murphy for the franchise year
ago.
As weeghman will not be permitted
to carry more than twenty lone men
during the coming playing season,
the average salary of each players
will be about $4,000, IL Weeghman
cuts the payroll to $4,000.
VIII Draw 100000.
But the chances are that the Cubs
will draw nearly 100000 for their
services this year, in spite Of the fact
that they do not figure among the
strongest teams in the circuit Fred
Mitchell, the new manager OF the
Cubs, declares that II will take st
least two years to build up q winner
so that Weeghman and the other
stockholders cannot expect q real
financial harvest until the season Of
1919.
weeghman sensibly argues that
the players will run no risks after
they have signed their contracts. He
says that the owners of the Cubs
must stand the losses II there are
any, and he frankly admits that the
club last year had to make up q de-
felt as q result Of the poor work Of
the team. The case of the Chicago
club well illustrates the conditions
that prevail throughout the major
leagues.
Players Get Receipts.
: The magnates with few exceptions
have been paying a large percentage
of the gate receipts to the players. In
several instances the club owners
have sustained heavy losses, but they
have lived up to their contractual
obligations. Ironclad contracts which
avaricious players obtained during
the war with the Federal League
have been respected by the magnates,
regardless of work on the ball neld.
The players, therefore, have been
fairly dealt with, and under the ex-
listing circumstances they should md
no fault with the new policy OF
retrenchment.
