fNOT A SUCCESSi1 From a Financial Standpoint Was theFootball Season.X The football season which opened; ti r with a blaze of glory in this city; viI'i about two months ago while ending in victory for the Canton team in the 1 final game was not a financial success * by any means. The so-called exposurelt;3IImade by several Massillon officials; ft had its effect in keeping down the attendance on Thursday to such an ex-tlt;3tent that Manager Wallace has lost ; d1I about $4000 on the season. The La-trobe management which was guaranteed $1500 for the Thanksgiving day game, will in all probability not receive a dollar for making their trip to this city. It was learned last night j tc1Vtthat many of the players have not re-j i reived th»*ir salaries in full as Man-Idi)ager Wallace is left without a dollar, j a i Much sympathy is expressed among t ) the sporting fraternity for him as it isje , j believed that be has been the victimL Iof a conspiracy. An effort was made; yesterday by the members of tin* Massillon Tigers to arrange a benefit, game between the Bull Dogs and thej | Massillon team for next Sunday at Meyers lake. The entire proceeds of; jI the game to go to the members ofI the Canton team Among the players . of the Massillon team much regret was j expressed at the action of the Massillon officials in waiting until after theIftwo Canton Massillon games had been j J played and then come out with a; statement that knocked the attendiance on Thursday sk\ high. Several! Vii*R*ltHtof the Massillon players were loud in proclaiming their disapproval of such tactics and claim, that they were will-i ing to do anything within their power to see the Canton players receive their salaries. The Canton Athletic Club Co., who were to receive l't per cent of the gross receipts of all the games * played In Canton, are fully protected * as Business Manager Williams held ^ that portion from tie* receipts of ! Thursday’s game, so that no financial! loss would fall upon Canton no matter what the outcome would be. Manv rumors were afloat yesterday that} Manager Wallace had left town, rufthese were without foundation, as Manager Wallace is still in the oltv,* F |and strongly maintained in a conversation last night, that he had no intention of leaving, but on the other! hand, said that he inteuded to re main a resident of Canton and that the libel suits Instituted against the Mas , sillon parties would be pushed and fought to the bitter end.Chase's Barley Malt Whisky—absolutely pure, t '’use’s Barley Malt Whisky rich andexcellent.Chase’s Barley Malt Whisky—strengthens the lungs.Chase’s Barley Malt Whisky—aids di- ' gestlon.Marshal X- r,*nvis sole agents for\ Can tom j
