Speaking of Sports Lo aaaaaadad s s ol ol Inquiries today revealed that Frank McCarthy, captain of the New Britain High school in 1924, hasn’t recelved any mone: from the benetif game supposedly | played for him between the regu- lar High school team and the alumni eleven at Memorlal Fleld Thanks- giving morning. Whether it is contemplated - by those who were in charge of the game, to make some effort to turn the fund to the source for which it | was intended, seems doubtful in the | light of information reaching this office. It is sald that the total receipts of the game amounted to $235. The net proceeds after the expenses were taken out, are said to have amount- od to $177. According to the agree ment arrived at before the game and published in the advance notices of the contest, McCarthy was to have revelved 60 per cent of the gross. Comparatively speaking, 60 per cent of the receipts at the gate would nrot amount to a great sum, but, nevertheless, the principle of the thing must be upheld. We have heard ugly rumors connection wwith the receipts have heard that each pl two teams and the managers hangers-on, received $5 as t share of the procceds. If this is truc, we just can't figure out how Frank McCarthy is to benefit by this di- vision of the profits, We have ascertained that McCa thy or the members of the family are not particularly anxlous to re- ceive any money from this or any other source, but when the subject was first announced, there was a lcnely heart out on Stanley street that was gladdened by the thought that, forgetting him. Tt may be that those in the game figured that the amount received was too small to offcr to the beneficiary and we hope with all others who have urged us to speak about the matter, that this is the reason for the failure of those conducting the game to carry out the plans as they were announced, There have heen over 100 people who have urged us to mention the subject of this benefit game ana when we hesitated, hoping that some action would be taken in the right direction, we were accused of “be- ing in on the deal.” We are still loathe to belleve that the two teams of players, had no intention of carrying out the pro- gram of playing a benefit game but instead had planned to perpetrate a hoax on the public. Some have ex- pressed indignation over the matter, but until we have some definite proof of the fact that the game and attendant publicity was a hoax, we cannot begin to condemn. There might be an added attrac- tion for the fans who attend the se- cond game between the All-New Bri- tain and the Hartford Blues in the! Jast Hartford Veledrome on De- cember 12, They might have the op- portunity of eecing Sammy Gross, wheel Jake Jennings around the cyele track in a wheel barrow in payment for a debt contracted over the game. CGiross bet Jennings that New Bri- tain would heat Hartford. Jennings took the Hartford end and the pro- vision of the bet was that the loser would wheel the winner fn a wheel larrow around the cycle track before | the second game. Gross, who fs known as| velvet-fingered artist on the fid- | has left the city on an orchestra it is be Sammy the dle, tour which will last all week, said, and no information could ed from him as to the proba- | hility of the bet being paid.
