NEW Y6kK. Oct, 13— Division |
of the thousands of dollars paid by
baseball fans to witness the world’s
series games is annually the topic of
curious interest as is the division of
any large sum of money. The regula
tions under which the money of the
world’s series is at present divided
has become so involved that the aver
age fan has lost interest in trying to
solve, while the games are being play
ed. just how much winning and los
ing teams will receive. And it is no
easy task to arrive at this conclusion
because the money is divided in sever
al different ways.
The principal interest of the base
ball fans centers in the amount the
players who take part in the big
games will receive.
The first provision in the cutting of
the big baseball “melon” is that ten
percent of the gross receipts of all
games goes to the National Commis
sion. Next comes the Player’s pool,
which consists of 60 percent of the
balat.ce (after the Commission's ten
percent has been taken out) of the re
ceipts of the first five games. The
other 40 peicent of this balance goes
into tiie pool to be divided equally be
tween the owners of the clubs.
Then if rao?e than five games be
. •
necessary to decide the championship, \
the lcceipts of those games are divid
ed, 10 percent to the National Com-1
mission and the other 90 percent to!
the club owner's pool.
There are certain regulations for
the division of the players’ pool and
the club owners* pool which are not
generally understood and which can
be illustrated better by figures than
by words.
Take for example that $100,000 re
presented the receipts of a game. First
of all 10 percent or $10,000 would have
to be set aside for the National Com
mission. That would leave a balance of
$90,000. Sixty percent of this balance
. or $36,000 would go to the club own
er’s pool. This division would be the
same for the first five games
The money in the players' pool
... would be divided as per the example
before mentioned, in thp following
manner: Of the $54,000 mentioned as
of a single game, 75 percent or $40,
500 would got to the players partici
patiag in the world's series to be di
vided on the basis of 60 percent to the
winning team and 40 percent to the
losing team. The other 25 percent
would go to a fund to be divided
among the players of the teams of
both leagues finishing second and
giird on the basis of 60 and 40 percent
or .$8400 for the second place teams
and $5,400 for the third place teams.
There another provision in the
regulations which makes it possible to
increase the amounts for each individ
ual player taking part in the world's
Series. Since tlfe regulations provide
Ibr a slice of the “melon” going to the
second and third teams, it also has
been provided that if these teams en
gage in any post-season series, 50
percent of the player's share of the
receipts shall be divided on the basis
of go percent to the winner and 40
percent to the loser, and the balance
Jtemcaibf the Straw Tele Oaateat
? * , »
shall go into the players’ pool of the
world’s series to be divided among the
players contesting teams in the world
series and the players of the teams
finishing second and third as explain
ed before.
These regulations do not apply to
post-season series between clubs fin
ishing lower than third place.
Thus, it would be possible in the
event of the two New York clubs fin
ishing second in their respective lea
gues to play a series that would add
almost as much to the player’s pool as
the big games themselves.
The owners of clubs taking part in
die world’s series do not get all the
m ney from the receipts even after
the shares of the National Commis
sion and the placers are deducted. The
icguiations provide that after thes*.
nave been subtracted the balance oi
the gross receipts shall be divideti
equally between the two clubs. The
club owners, however, are obliged to
pay into the treasuries of .their res
pective leagues 50 percent or their
gn>ss receipts up to seven games and
if ;t be necessary to play the eighth
and ninth games, then 75 percent of
the gross receipts received by the two j
clubs under this division shall bo paid j
i.)io tlie league treasuries.
As outlined above a game with*»e- ■
etipts of $100,000 after five had been
played, would give $10,000 to the Na
tional Commission and $00,000 to both |
club owners or $45,000 for each. Of j
this $45,000 each club for the sixth
and seventh games would be obliged
to turn back $22,500 to their respect
ive league treasuries, and if they re
ceived a like amount from an eighth
or ninth game they each would have
to pay to the league treasurers 75 per
cent or $33,750, leaving $11,250 for
each of the clubs.

AFLOAT EIGHT DAYS
HONOLULU, T. H., Oct., 13—

tender Kukui after they had drifted on
their waterlogged schooner, Annie E.,
for eight days, the last four of which
they were without food.
To add to their mental anguish,
three large sharks followed the slow
ly-drifting schooner, with its decks
awash, evidently awaiting the moment
when the craft would go to pieces and
throw the survivors into the sea.
T—he wreck of the AnnieE., which
was on her way from Honolulu to the
Mahukona coast of the Island of Ha

years ort waterlogged craft.
The schooner, according to her
skipper, started leaking at midnight of
'August 9, the pumps refused to work
and within a few hours her decks were
awash. Twenty-four hours later she
had drifted opposite the entrance to
Honolulu harbor, but it was night and
her plight was nol noticed. The ocean
currents carried her westward and
the captain sent three of his crew
ashore in a small boat to seek help,

German airship authorities are con
