DIVISION OF
GATE RECEIPTS
BIG QUESTION
No Material Changes in Con-
duct of Game are Brought
About.

Chicago, Dec. 15.-Division Of
world series gate receipts is the only
question pertaining to the war poll
cies Of the American and National
leagues which remains to be settled
following yesterdays Joint conference
between the representatives of the
two organizations. The sixteen club
johnson Of the American league and
Garry Hermann, chairman of the
National commission, a committee to
work out a plan whereby clubs other
than the league champions will share
in tho receipts.
At the close of the meeting there
seemed to be a probability that in the
clubs in each league will share the
receipts from the world series.
Contrary to expectations, the Joint
session of the owners brought about
no material changes in conduct Of the
game. 1t vas decided to start the sea-
son April 16. a week later than usual,
but to play the customary 1874 games.
Club owners will be allowed to send
their cams on as long training trips
as they wish and there will be no re-
duction in the 25-men player limit.
There will be no curtailment Of the
playing season. no slashing of the
player limit nor Limitation OF the
training reason in the major leagues
next year. The clubowners of the Ma
tional and American leagues decided
at their joint meeting here yesterday.
that there was no cause for alarm in
baseball at present. They agreed that
il the war forces them to retrench 1t
will be time enough to adopt a war
policy when they actually face con-
ditions next spring.
The National league agreed to the
American league plan for the collec-
ton of the federal war tax. It was
decided to collect only what the gov
eminent imposes-three cents on
bleacher seats. five cents on pavilion
seats. eight cents on grandstand. and
ten cents OF box seats. The leagues
also decided to collect a ten cent tax
on every free admission.
Player Limit Maintained.
The fight for a 14o:game schedule
next season came principally from
the American leaguers. as its adoption
had been advocated by President
johnson. The junior organization,
; however, was strongly opposed to
any reduction in the player limit. The
present limit Of twenty-five players in
the American league and twenty-five
in the National were maintained.
President johnson said the subject
