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.

George W. Reily Wins
in Golf Handicap J
The big silver loving cup offered by
Governor John K. Tener for a handi
cap medal play trophy at the Country
Club of Harrisburg was won by George
W. Reily from a field of forty-one en
tries. Mr. Reily caoie through with
a net score of 76. He had a handi
cap of 8. Carl B. Ely, handicap 6, and
William MeCreath, 8, came next with
net scores of 77. 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.

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

Washington and Jefferson. Indica
tions are that next Saturday will bring
still more surprises.
