Fact That Four Clubs Have Monopo- lized All of Money in Post-Season Gold Mine for Four Years Causes Dissatisfaction. With half a million dolars of easy money for one week's play, the world's championship series is each year becoming more and more difficult to handle, and this season threatens to ruffle the long and well establish- ed peace of organized baseball. To begin with, the fact that four clubs have monopolized all of the money in this post-season gold mine for the last four years has stirred up a feeling of dissatisfaction among the other 12 clubs forming the two big circuits Last season an effort was made to al- leviate this growing feeling a little by ordering that a certain per cent. of the receipts from the big should be turned over for a fund for the two leagues, but failed, since the and York clubs refused to give money. The greed for gold that over this situation has excited in con gldering this New Boston up the enormous ceived from the half-a-dozena or games of this short geems have entered the blood of ed with baseball, with money that can be the games has become portance than anything else, not excepting the is proven by the val gories {to all connect: that out of the result made of greater im tt tae winning series readiness managers to permit st write or pret: nd to of the g g8 of the seri to write Another thing that is general public ods of the clubs in dis games.

No one can buy more than two seats and all call for the so those who plan to see only two games must with other person who one or two games and buy a partner ship ticket calling for three games While very unzatisfactor many baseball patrons, this system is a very good thing for the ball club. In the first place it insures a big crowd for each of ree games ir city. The crowds are sure to be lim ited only by the size of the grounds the first game, and by ar rangement must be equally as large for the two succeeding games in each city, no matter one-sided the se- may prove.
