AGE SIX y ___ BISMARCK DAILY. TRIRONE AUUNUEDDUEROUONCnaaobOND SERIES MONEY IS SPLIT MANY WAYS ANNUALLY Almost Takes Expert to Figure Out Just Where Money from Big Games Goes REGULATIONS STRICT New York, Oct. 2.—Division of the thousands’ of dollars paid by baseball fans to witness the world’s series games is annually the topic of curi- os interest as is the division of any large sum of money. The regulations under which the money of the world’s series is at present divided has be- come so involved that the average fan “has lost interest in trying to solve, while the games are being played, just how much the winning and losing teams will receive. And it is no easy task to ar at this conclusion be- cause the money is divided in several different ways. 10 Per Cent to Commission. 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 players’ pool, which consists of 60 percent of the balance (after the Commission’s ten percent has been taken out) ‘of the receipts of the first five games. The other 40 per cent of this balance goés into the pool to be divided equally he’ tween the owners of the clubs. Then if more than five games be necessary to decide the championship, the receipts of those games are divid- ed, 10 per cent to the National Com- mission and the other 90 percent to the club owners’ pool. Certain Regulations. There are certain 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 rep- resented the receipts of a game. First of all 10 per cent or $10,000 would be set.aside for the National Commis- sion. That would leave a balance ot $90,000. Sixty per cent of this, or $5. 4 would go into the players’ pool and fhe 40 percent of this balance or $36,000 would go to the club owners’ 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 the following manner: Of the $54,000 mentioned asof a single game, 75 percent or $40,- 500 would go to the players partici- pating in the world’s series to be di- vided on the basis of 60 per cent to the winning team and 40 per cent to the losing team. The other 25 per cent would go to a fund to be ‘divided among the players of the'teams of both leagues finishing second and third on the basis of 60 and 40 per- cent ,or $8,100 for the second teams and $5,400 for the third place teams. There is another provision in the regulations which makes it: possible to increase the amounts for each indi- vidual player taking part in the world’s series. Since the regulations provide for a slice of the “melon” go- ing to the second and third teams, it also has been provided that if these teams engage in any post-season ser- ies, 50 percent of the players’ share of the receipts shall be divided on the basis of 60 percent to the winner and 40 percent to the loser, and the bal- ance shall go into the players’ pool of the world series to be divided among the players of. the contesting teams in the—world’s-series and the players of the teams finishing second | and third as explained before. These régulations 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 ishing second in their respecti leagues to ‘play a serigs that would add almost as much to the players’ pool as the big games themselves. Where Owners Come In, The owners of clubs. taking part in the world’s series do not get all the money from the receipts even after | the shares of the National Commis-| sion and the players are deducted. The regulations provide that after these have been subtracted the: bal- ance of the gross receipts shall be di- vided equally between the two clubs. The club owners, however, are obliged to pay into the treasuries of their respective leagues 50 percent of their gross receipts up to seven games and if it be necessary to-play the eighth and ninth games, then 75 percent ‘of the gross receipts receiv- ed by the two clubs under this division shall be paid into the league treas- uries. As‘outlined above a game with re- ceipts of $100,000 after five had been played, would give $10,000 to the Na- tional Commission and $90,000 to both club owners or $45,000 for each. Of this $45,000 each club for the sixth and seventh games would be obliged to turn back $22;500 to their respec- tive league treasuries, and if they re- EAGLE Tailoring and: Hat Works Suits dry cleaned and pressed, repairing neatly done.

BEST SOX CAN DO IS TO GET TIE: New York, Oct. 2—Cleveland can clinch the American League pen- nant by winning one of the two re- maining games, or* by Chicago los- ing one of its two, games. The gap between the two rivals widened to two full games yesterday when the Indians’ broke even in a doubleheader with. Detrait, and the White Sox lost to St. Louis? The best Chicago can do-now is to ATTENDANCE RECORDS WON’T BE BROKEN AT 1920 WORLD SERIES The-largest crowd “that éver wit- nessed a single game in a world’s series was 42,620, which, was the . announced official attendance for the final contest of the 1916 séries between the Boston Red: Sox of the American League and Brook- lyn of the National League, play- ed at Boston. The best record for total attendance at a séries was made in 1912, when the Bos- ton team of the American League and the New York team of the Na- tional League played to 251,901 persons in eight games. ' reat New York, Oct. 2.-Notwith- ‘standing the general increase in baseball throughout the country it is-unlikely that in the coming series to decide the world’s cham- pionship that new records will be made in attendance fer,a single game or for the series. |The rea- son for this is that the capatity of the pawks where the games are to be played is insufficient to erase from the record hgoks the top notch figures that have been established in previous years.
