A., Bftlilowc, M4L WORLD'S SERIES PirS LARGE DIVIDENDS; Prices For Seats Have Also Soared Since the Big Game Started Thirty Years Ago By Associated Press New York, Oct. s.—No clearer or more positive illustration of the ex traordinary interest taken by the pub lic in the annual world's champion ship series of baseball games can be desired than that furnished by a glance at the financial results, a state ment of which is oflicially announced [at the end of each post-season com ! petition for the coveted title and flag. I Through tjje box office its popularity can easily be measured. Compared' , with the meager returns at the ini tial series in 1884 the enormous ! crowds registered by the clicking | turnstiles show that by leaps and i bounds the attendance in recent years jhas assumed such gigantic propor tions that there is no telling what it !may amount to in years trf come. | The first championship game be jtween the Providence Grays and thu i Metropolitans may have been only lightly attended and there is nothing |on record to show what the receipts amounted to for the three games then | played, -as Providence won three straight. The following year, however, 1 when seven games were played in four different cities, Chicago, St. Louis, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, the financial result was about $2,000. :That year the fight was a hot one be tween the Chicago Nationals and the | American Association club of St. and one can hardly imagine I what would be the yield just now if j such a series were possible over a j similar circuit. In the early days of the world's series tickets tickets were easily ob tained at the regular prices and no i ! one had to worry as to whether he I i would get to his favorite seat for one or all of the games. This easy method ! iof satisfying one's baseball appetite disappeared years ago and fabulous prices are offered for ordinary seats in ' the stands, not to speak of the inir mense prices demanded for the ex clusive coupons which entitle the pos sessor to view the games from a com | fortably upholstered chair in one of I the boxes, of which there are several ; rows in the newly built stands. First Big Haul j In 1887 when Detroit and St. Louis plafed fourteen games in nearly a i dozen cities, the receipts amounted to [542,000, about $3,000 a game, which | was then considered a large amount. I The following year $24,362 was taken jin for the ten games played by New I York and St. Louis. The first year of Year. Attendance Receipts. Clubs. Players. Nat.

Neil J5. Saisich, 18. was third with a net score of 78. Saturday the annual match play tournament for the Board of Gover nors' trophy, won by Robert MeCreath last year, will begin and run for two weeks, closing October 24. The en tries for the trophy tournament will close Thu*»4ai night and the drawings [the Temple cup series, 1894, four 1 ( games were played and average per ! game was $4,500 at Baltimore and New York. There was a falling oft a year later when the Cleveland-Balti more series of five games realized only $14,750. In 1903, when the first scries was I played be'wen the pennant-winning I teams of the National and American j Leagues, eight games brought a little lover $50,000. There was no contest J in 1904, but a year later there was an advance In the prices of admission and $68,405 was taken in for five games at Philadelphia and New York, but the attendance fell to 91,723 as compared with over 100,000 two years previously. Tli,c attendance dropped to 63,000 in 1908 for the Chicago- Detroit series, but the receipts jumped to nearly $95,000. A marked increase In attendance and receipts was registered in 1909, when 145,295 persons paid $188,302 to see the seven-game series between Pittsburgh and Detroit. Philadelphia and Chicago played five games in 1910, before 124.222 persons with gate re ceipts of $173,980, and this amount was almost doubled the following year, when 179,851 persons contributed ! $342,1 64 to see the Philadelphia and New York series of six games. This was a mighty jump, but it was eclipsed i in 1912, the banner year for attend ance and financial results. The Bos-1 ton Americans and New York Na-i tionals played eight games, one of them resulting in a tie, that year, and| it was estimated that a quarter of a million spectators saw the protracted series, which drew $490,449. This enormous increase was, of course, due to the extra games that were required, but last year, when only five games were needed to settle the question of supremacy between the Giants and Athletics. $325,980 was paid in, with an attendhnce of 151,000. The average receipts per game in 1912 was sfil,- 306, while the average last year was increased to $65,196. Present Conditions Start Each of the winning players on the winning side in 1903. the first year that the series was played under the con ditions which now prevail, received $1,316.25 and each of the losing, play ers got $1,182. In 1912 the Boston winners received $4,022 each and the New York losers were handed $2,566 j each. Last year each player of the | Athletics got a winning portion of I $3,246.36 and the losing share for leach New York played was $2,164.22. The basis upon which the world's iseries receipts are divided is as fol lows: Tho National Commission re ceives 10 per cent of the receipts of each and every game. The players of the two competing clubs receive 60 per cent, of the. remaining 90 per cent, of the first four guinea played. The sum is divided 60 per cent, to the winners and 40 per cent to the losers. The remaining 40 per cent, of the 90 per cent, of the first four games goes to the club owners. Ninety per cent, of the receipts of every game after the first four becomes the property of the. stockholders of the two contesting clubs. Details of attendance and di vision of the receipts each year since 1903 are appended: will- be made Friday afternoon and announced immediately. This event is for men and every member of the club is eligible. AI'TOS FOR STAR PLAYERS Sfecial to The Telegraph Chicago. 111., Oct. s.—Eddie Collins, of the Athletics, of the American League, and John Evers, of the Bos ton team of the National League, to day were declared winners of the 1914 trophy presented by a Detroit manu facturer to the player whose services! were the most valuable to their re- i spectlve clubs. Each will receive an J automobile as a prize as a result of i the competition. The vote of the trophy commission j was canvassed here to-day with the l result that Collins received 68 out of ai possible 64 points, while Evers re- I celved 60 out of a possible 64 points. 1 TRI-STATE AVERAGES SHOW INY STARS Harrisburg Lands Flag Through Timely Hits and Fast Field ing; Some Figures ' Official Tri-State averages made public to-day by George M. Graham, president of the league, give very little information that is new. Fig ures show that timely hits and fast fielding and team work brought the answer for Harrisburg. "Pop" Foster is credited with leading the batting list with .380. He was in 87 games. Murray, of Allentown, in 110 games, had .356, and Crist, of Harrisburg, .340. i In number of games played. 102, Charley Miller has an average of .974. He Is last in the list of hackstops, but , the others played less games. Boelzle ■ I was in 57, Mowe 77, Cassell 26, and | Nagle 57. Cockill leads first basemen with .902; McCarthy made .935 as a second baseman, and Crist leads as third baseman with .942. As a shortstop Whalen was second with .932. Keyes leads the outfielders with .979. Cruik shank had .979 and Emerson .976. As hitters the Tri-State champions showed these averages: Crist. .340; Cockill. .313; Cruik shank. .307; Emerson. .304; Miller. .301; Whalen, .279; McCarthy, .272. I To Allentown, which club finished I as runner-up to Harrisburg, the Tri- I State champions, goes the honors for I club batting with a percentage of .293. | The same club stands first in long hits by clubs with 616 extra base clouts. "Danny" McGeehan, fo the Teutons, was tlje leading extra base slugger with .101 to his credit. Standing out prominently among the list of pitchers is the name of Chabek, the Harrisburg wonder, who set a new record for the league by his phenomenal work on the mound. Chabek started in thirty-one games and lost but three, his percentage be ing .903. Next season will see this twirler wearing the uniform of the Brooklyn team in the National League.

Carmel Gridiron enthusiasts were given much to ponder over in the results of Saturday games. Mt, Carmel, herald ed as a dangerous foe, bowed to Cen tral high, score 55 to 0. In the work of the local team, patrons witnessed an aggregation of new men playing like oldtimerß. In Rote, Bingham, Eddie Roth, By ers and Smeltzer, Central had men who will be prominent this season, and In Smueker, a young mail who showed remarkable football ability. Central needs only enthusiastic school spirit to keep the team up to the standard. The jjrowd on Saturday was very discouraging. In Wilson, Duvorick and Dormack, Mt. Carmel had stars. Tech high trimmed the Bucknell Reserves, score fi to 0. This game gave an opportunity for Tech to show whether they have a one-man team BITS OF SPORTS Some surprises on Saturday. The Navy eleven showed a weak ness that was alarming. Hockersvllle defeated West End in the final baseball game Saturday; score. 10 to 8. Duncannon defeated an all-star team Saturday; score, 7 to 3. Hamilton All-Scholastics won a hard-fought game from the Progress Tigers by the score of 1 to 0. Mauch amer. E. Waltz, H. Waltz and Stutz man played a star game for Hamilton, while Beam, W. Porter and Strine i featured for Progress. BEAK SOUP AT McCLURE Special to The Telegraph Lewlstown, Pa., Oct. 5.

Pottsville lost to Steelton high, scpi.to 12 to 7. Tech defeated Pottsville one week ago by a score of 19 Elliott was the Pottsville star who crossed the Steelton goal line. In collegiate circles the big surprise was the defeat of University of Penn sylvania by Franklin and Marshall. The Lehigh-Indian game was also a surprise. Carlisle last season defeated Lehigh by a score almost similar to that of this season when Lehigh won. The Navy showed a weakness. Gettys burg and Albright had a battle royal and Dickinson was snowed under by Washington and Jefferson. Indica tions are that next Saturday will bring still more surprises.
