Victory Over Cubs.

Chicago. The championship Of

clinched the big pennant fast by a
score of runs to for the Chicago

not won it fairly and squarely.

their progress with one defeat, 1t

While the series was not the most
profitable ever played, it helps to sim

Philadelphias, to say nothing OF the
Chicagos, with winter coming on.
The players share of the money
amounts to s79,071.93. OF this 10
per cent, or $47.443.15. goes to the
winners, and $3l, G2S.77 to the los

pate each of the Philadelphia is en-
titled in round numbers TO $2,O62,

The players shared in Sundays
receipts by courtesy of the manage

that if Sundays recei"ts should be
larger than those Of any previous day
the smallest receipts should be con-
sidered as accruing to the fifth game
and the Sunday receipts accredited to
the fourth contest, the last in which
the players had a financial share.
