et f LOSS OF SERIES P ———— . OVES COSTLY T e NEW BRI TAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, GIANTS’ CLUB AND PLAYERS—GO NEW YORK ROOTERS | HOPEFUL TO THE END, >- Crowds at Tickers and Bulletin Boards Hope Against Fate New York, Oct. 16—Wherever base- | ball fans gathered in these parts last ' night Old Man Gloom was master of ceremonies. The unwelcome but ir- repressible joy killer hovered every- ‘where. He even shot his darts of sadness into places where fans were hitherto unknown. Held in check since the series began by an optimisin | that would not be downed,. he un- shackled himself at the Polo Grounds * with Heinle Zimmerman’s bone plays in the fourth inning and never stop- " ped his joyless rampage until he had ‘dejected and depressed millions of | New Yorkers and their friends. He did more than depress Broad- | way. He staggered it; fairly knocked | 1t out of its happy senses and left it ' as jubllant and enthusiastic as Phil- . adelphia’s Broad street on a Sunday night—and that's going some. Depres- ion and dejection were all over this itown. Gloom early filled the hotels ‘and restaurants of the white light \district and then flittered in all di- rections to other centers where ordi- marily joy reigns supreme at this sea- mson of the year. And then into the homes he glided \and remained in each long enough to lcast his evil influence over families twhich had never known depression [before. He worked on father, son ‘and brother, and through them on the ‘entire family until all New York and its environs sought relief from his ‘ugly weapons in sweet dreams. The Old Joy Killer did not score his ~victory without & battle though. From fthe time Fleinle Zim got into his bril- Jant brain that he could give Eddie Collins a handicap and beat him in dash from third base to home plate the crowd on the scene made only {feeble efforts to banish him. But around the bulletin boards and tick- ' .ers which abound in the city it was i different. The rooters who watched the Giant- Sox battle from the boards or tickers could not believe that the Bronx boy or any other Giant, could pull such a bone. Even newspaper acocounts of Heinie’'s play were thrown aside with gcorn. Heinie might have made an error, they conceded, but an error in such a heart stirring battle was par- donable, in their opinion, and almost as one they continued their rooting for a New York rally that would win the game and the championship. And they had plenty of opportunity to enthuse. In the Giants’ half of the fifth inniug pandemonium reignea in every section of the city where score boards gave the progress of the game to the fans. It was in that frame that the Glants scored two runs. Yells and whoops and cheers ac- companied frantic and fanatical dances, while hats, papers and even ! _valuable bundles were tossed high in the air. The two runs had cut down the big handicap to a mere run and to the “outside” fans this could easily be | overcome by the heavy hitting Giants. Ailmost each succeeding inning gave the faithful hopes, for Robertson got on in the sixth; Pol Perrit renched‘ third in the seventh, and Robby was perched on second in the ninth. Bull ‘all of their rooting availed them noth- Ing, for the necessary punch was; missing, and when Lew McCarty, the last batter for the Giants, went out on & tiny roller Mr. Joy Killer became their master.

On an average the de- feat cost each Giant player $1,224.56, the difference between the per man spoils of $8,673.64 that would have been theirs had they won and the $2,449.08 the twenty-five Giant play- ers each averaged on the loser's end. The division of the prize moneys is figured on an equal division basis. The twenty-five Giant players, however, will not share their earnings equally, but will split up the purse on a slid- ing scale.” The White Sox will divide the winner's share in the same way. The total receipts are the second largest in the history of the world’s series, the 1912 Red Sox-Giants serles alone bettering this year's figures. Just as the defeat meant a loss of $30,618.70 to the Giant players the victory gained that amount for the éach White Sox player is $1,124.56 richer. For winning the Sox players averaged $3,673.64 per man. Haa they lost they would have had to be content with an average of $2,449.09. 1912 Best for Players. There' has begn only one world's series in which the winners split a greater sum of money. In the Red Sox vs. Dodgers series last year thc Red Sox divided $97,756.47, or §$6,- ‘White Sox Crack Slabman Wabbled Only Once During Orucial Game, and Giants Score Twice Thereby. New York, Oct. 16.—Steadiness was the quality that enabled Urban Faber to trlumph in the decisive game of the world’s series. . Analysis of the pitching shows that he was not much more effective than Benton and Perritt, but he wabbled only once in the game, the fifth in- ning, when two runs were scored be- cause of his inability to find the plate. The fact that he won the game was due to the fact that his support was nearly faultless, while Benton’'s treat- ment by his club mates was scandalous. In the matter of called balls. Faber had only four less than the total of Benton and Perritt, while in strikes called the Giant pitchers excelled the Chicagoan by nine. As to the balls hit to infield and outfield, the opposing pitchers were practically on an even basis, but in the matter of balls served, Benton, by using twenty-six in the fateful fourth, made the Giant total considerably more than that of Faber. Faber served twenty balls in the fifth, when the Giants scored twice, and twenty-two in the seventh, when the Giants had him in an anxious frame of mind. The pitching statistics by innings are as follows: 916.39 more than the White Sox re- ceived for the present series. Each Red Sox player last' year obtained $3,332.94. The series of 1912, in which only twenty-two Red Sox players figured in the spoils, netted each Boston play- er $4,022. So 1912 can be considered the record year for the players even though larger totals were won ir 1916 and 1917. In no former world’s series with the sole exception of 1912 have the club owners profited so richly as in the present one. For the six game series this season the owners of each of the two clubs received $115,262.77, or a total of $230,405.64. This is the highest amount ever received by the club owners, with the exception of 1912, in which the series went the full eight games and netted the club owners $295,143.40. The 1912 series and the 1917 series are the only two in which the club owners profited to a greater extent than $200,000. Leagues Also Share. Last vear Messrs. Lannin and Eb- bets equally divided $184,104. Of that sum 25 per cent or $46,026 was equal- ly divided between the two leagues, the American league receiving $28,- 013 and the National league a like amount. Of the $115,252.88 that each club owner receives for the present serjes Mr. Comiskey later will turn over $28,813.19 to American league, and Mr. Hemp$stead will hand the National lepgue a check for a like amount. s The attendance for the six games totalled 186,815, or an average of 31,- 136 per game. The record average attendance was made in the Red Sox vs. Dodger series last year, when each game’s attendance averaged 32,671. The 1912 series, which went the full eight games, drew an average daily attendance of 31,5604. With the ex- ception of 1912 and 1916 the series Benny is to get $2,600 a week, Sanl- ley says. just brought to a close was better attended than any of the last worid's geries tilts. 4.0 0 0o —T2 . 1316 1414—57 129 92012221012—113 23; Perritt, Benton.. 91013261 [P erTit e 'F‘nber 10 711 { Called Balls—Benton, ! 22; Faber, 41. , _ Strikes—Benton, | ¥aver, 25.
