Text	“We have a team that entitles us to a percentage all around,” sayd President Stearns of Detroit. “Our salary list is $49,000. Chicago's is $29,000. While we are the greatest attraction that comes to Chicago, we have made $10,000 on the season and Chicago has made between $80,000 and $90,000. Still, Chicago has treated us fairly, and I don't care what anybody says. I think there is no squarer man than Spalding. What we want is to make the other fellows treat us squarely, and as sure as you live we are going to do it. The percentage system will be adopted by the League next season.
