Chicago, Oct. 24-The baseball
championship of the world belongs to
the Philadelphia club of the American
league. They clinched the big pennant
| fast Sunday, seven runs to two for the
Chicago Nationals, and it was a big
overflow crowd that saw it,
Five games have been played, and
the fasteners took four of them by
outbatting, outfelding and outrushing
the veteran Chicagoans. They got the
"jump" at the start, and although Chi
cago punctuated their program with a
defeat yesterday, it really did not
| change the situation bit
The Philadelphians were due. They
won the American league banner in
1902, but there was no world s series
that year. Five years ago the New
York Nationals were too strong for
them. So in this year of grace it was
not on the cards that they were to be
denied.
Big Money for Players.
While the series was not the most
profitable ever played, it helps to SIM
plify the high cost of living problem
confronting even such heroes as the
Philadelphians, to say nothing of the
Chicagoans, with winter coming on.
The players share of the money
amounted to $79,O71. Of this 60 per
cent, or $47,4 goes to the winners,
and $31 ,62S to the losers. As. there are
% players on each team eligible to par
ticipate, each of thu Philadelphians is
entitled in round numbers to $1,000, and
each Chicagoan to 1875.
The players shared in today's re-
ceipts by courtesy of the management
of the two clubs, who conceded that if
today's receipts should be larger than
those of any previous day the smallest
receipts should be credited as accruing
to the fifth day, and the Sunday receipts
accredited to the fourth contest, the
last in which the players had financial
share.
The total receipts for the series were
$173,9S0. The two clubs get $3S,755
apiece, while $17,39S goes to the ma
tional commission. The total attend
ohSO was I%OJS1S poIoOuS.
Coombs the Hero.
The performance of Coombs in pitch
ing and winning three of a fve-game
series is probably unique. He had but
one days rest between the second and
third games and but three days inter
Yened between the third contest and
today S exhibition. He had better con- |
troll today than in the previous con
tests and fooled the opposition batters
when hits meant runs.
Brown, for Chicago, pitched excellent |
ball, except in the locally disastrous
eighth, and the holocaust of that INNING |
was by no means entirely his fault.
The day was bright and the weather
OF the Indian summer variety. Ground
rules, as usual, were necessary.
Chlcago's failure in the series can he |
laid to one cause.-the weakness of the |
pitchers.
