Show LEAGUE IN ROW i OVER JACK POT Hj New York, Oct. 2S. Baseball men 1 i are predicting that tho Fogel trial H t; tv-111 cause only a ripple on National H , league waters in comparison with the H fight the club owners will mako to H compel John T. Brush, president of M tho Giants, to hand over 25 per cent H of his world's series spoils to the leaguo for distribution acmng the 1 other seven clubs. The magnates contend that whon the rulo was passed last winter hi 4 Brush did not. know the Giants would Hl -win the pennant, and that tho rule H was not aimed at the New York club, H as ever' ctub in the league was tak- m ing the same chance. They say H Brush would not have made a kick Hj - or discovered the rliLe was unconstl- H . tutional if the Giants had been tfc- H feated for tho pennant this rear. H It Is understood that the members H of the board of arbitration to settle H this matter will not appoint a third H man, but vill try to come to an M V agreement between themselves. Cor- H nelius Sullivan, representing tho New I York club, and Barney York of Brooklyn are tho referees. Baseball men who sympathize with the New York club's stand on this matter point to tho caso of Murphy of the Culm. Thoy say Murphy had world's series crowds at his games with tho White Sox for tho championship cham-pionship of Chicago, and cannot see why Brush should dlrldo his po6t season money with Murphy when Murphy was hauling in a big pot himself. One baseball man said tf Brush should havo to hand over 25 per cent of his world's serico money to the other seven clubs, Murphy also should bo made to turn over 25 per cont of his share of the Chicago receipts. |
