The ictorious team would have to take five of the nine contests to win the world championship. Heretofore the championship was decided when one of the clubs won four of the seven contests. The players would divide t apportionment share of the five game receipts on a sixty and forty per cent basis, sixty per cent. going o the winning elub. August Hermann, chairman of the commission, explained that the rec- ommendation was made for no other reason than to benefit the public by permitting a larger number of per- sons 10 see at least one of the games. Although the Cincinnat! club has not clinched the National League pennant Chairman Hermann, who is president e Reds said that he had receiv- 000_applicataions for seats out- side of Cincinnati.
