$3,7O0 Each For
 Winners Of Series
Victors in Worlds Games Will Pull Down Nice Piece
 of Change

No matter where the title finally rests, this is the greatest money ser- ies'' in the history of baseball. AL ready the prize money that is to be 79S.S3, which is many thousands more than was ever divided by participants in any other worlds. series. And the players still have one more drag.
 Interest being at fever heat in Phil- adelphia, attendance at Shibe Park ought to equal that of Mondays, when the total receipts were 2,962.50. of which $23, ,190,75 goes to the players. Figuring on that basis the ball play CTS will cut up between $125,000 and $1S0,000 as their share of the first four games, this amount being only 54 per cent. of the gross receipts.
 When some of the Giants a month ago figured the "gate" for the first four games to total $200, GOO their esti- mate was laughed to scorn. But now their fondest anticipations are more have netted s195. .s14.50 in cash receipts. and to-day's game in Philadelphia should raise, that to t235,00 at least. Think of it! Nearly quarter of a million dollars spent for admission and seats to four ball games. The game has never seen anything like it, and these figures may not be ap- PAOdCAOd as Sdll years II tie NTldlIS do not figure in, battles for the big title.
 If the series unfolds to seven games the club owners will realize fortunes. Already each club has dipped in to the extent of 35.264.61, and after to- days game the players are left out and the clubs get 90 per cent Of the income. If it is to be a seven-game series conservative estimate is that each club will be enriched to the ex- tent of $150,00O.
 The National Commission has al- ready been staked to $19,59145, which certainly is enough to pay all expen- ses and salaries of officials and still leave something to pay the wine bills.
 Figuring twenty-one men 'in on the split" for each team, members of the winning crew will take down about $3,700 apiece if the jackpot totals close to '$130,000. The winners get SO per cent. of the prize money. The losers will each get about $2,6O0, which will be soothing balm for their disappoint- ment.
 The total attendance for the three games is 101.7S3, and if seven games are played those figures will be en- larged to something like 2500O0 if the deciding game is played in New York That record has never been approach ed. Many big cities in Class A lea gues cannot touch that attendance by Jumping crowds for season.

To Stay In Air
 Without Motor Orville Wright's Experiments Lead Him to Believe That
 Feat Gan be Done
MAKES TWO NEW RECORDS
Breaks Old Gliding Mark-HaS Fall, But Is Not Hurt-Machine
 Smashed.

Manatoe, N C., Oct 19-Orville Wright twice broke the worlds glid- ing record, yesterday, remaining aloft in his machine on each occasion one minute and fifteen seconds. On the last of his five flights in the teeth of the glider distance of fourteen feet, but was unhurt The machine was smashed
 Despite the damage to the machine Mir. Wright was delighted. He felt that these experiments demonstrated his ability to remain in the air with out the aid of a motor just as soon as certain alterations are made in the construction of the supporting agency.
 'T am particularly pleased to have broken the worlds record by three seconds" he said. t"The main trouble was that the vertical rudder in front was too much for the rudder behind and this interfered with the control. This. defect will be remedied when the glider is repaired and the work will be done in time for the next blow."
 The final flight was sensational. Wright lost control of the aeroplane with the result that the fall complete ly wrecked both wings on the right side. When the machine struck the ground it turned turtle and the avia- tor was hurled a considerable dis tance.
 When the Wright party arose fn the morning a heavy rain was driving across the sand dunes and it was not until late in the afternoon that flights were attempted.
 In the second flight the glider for the first time since the trials began, stood horizontal and stationary for five seconds at an elevation of sixty feet. Finally it moved forward and downward and came to the ground 200 feet to the north. This was the best flight of the day.

 The Giants haven't made any friends by blaming their Tuesday de- feat upon Umpire Connolly. They zp- parently forget the errors of Herzoa, Merkle and Fletcher. Connie Mack is quoted as saying that he might have made roar about Umpire Brennan's decision in calling Barry out at the plate but he doesn't believe in umpire batting. No matter if you are not an Athletic rooter you have to give them credit for attending strictly to busi- ness and not squealing when defeated
 The defeat of the Cubs by the White Sox in four straight gan4es wasJ one of the biggest surprises of the season And yet when you come to think of 1t there was no reason why the Cubs should have been favorites. Unless you figure the great showing of Chances men in the past, which does not win games today It sinners right down to the fact that the White Sox had the pitchers and the Cubs didn't Ed Walsh and Doc White are two of the best boxmen in the game today and they stood the Cubs on their heads.
 Pat Dougherty is pretty lucky. The former Bridgeport star got part of the worlds series money in 1903 when he was with the. Boston Americans. He was shifted to Chicago in 1906 in tims to get part of the coin when the White Sox beat the Cubs for the worlds championship. He also got part of the change when the Sox and Cubs played for the Chicago championship in 1909 and now he gets his share of the recent series between the two clubs.

YALE TEAM PRACTICES
 ON MUD COVERED FIELD Players do Not Tumble in Spite of Slippery Condition
 of Ball

New Haven, Oct. 19-In pouring rain and on a muddy field the Yale varsity football squad had it's hardest practice of the season, yesterday De- spite the conditions none of the play CTS was injured. Capt. Arthur Howe was not on the field and Merritt ran the varsity. The varsity's work was running down punts, catching punts and blocking drop kicks. The practice was satisfactory.

tumble. If he could get over his fault of fumbling punts he would be one of the best backs Yale has hao III years, many think.
 There were plenty of excuses for fumbling yesterday on account of the slippery grass and the fact that the pigskin was covered with water every time it reached player. 1t was easy to see that the coaches were pleased when the practice was finished and there was no criticism of any member of the team Anderson was absent from practice.
