MACKMEN WILL GET
BONUSES WHEN THEY
DEFEAT THE GIANTS
Shibe and Connie Mack Plan
Distribution of Coin to
All Players.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 23.-Several
of the Athletic players and possibly all
OF the regulars who participate In the
worlds series against the Giants Will
be handsomely rewarded for their part
by the club owners and Manager Mack.
II they succeed in trailing the New
Workers. colors in the mud.
The $500 per man which each Of the
winners will receive will not be the
only reward of the Mackmen II they are
the fortunate ones. AS the club owners
will receive more money this year than
ever before. 1t is a certainty that virtue
will bring It's &wn reward in the case
OF the deserving Athletics.
Probably heading the list Of bone
ficiaries will be Iron Man John Coombs.
the pitching hero Of all modern world 8
series, the man who has q record of
four games won and none lost 1t is
not alone for his work against the
Giants that Mack will have Coombs in
mind. but also for his service during
the American League campaign.
When the Mackmen were fighting hard
to overcome the Tigers lead Coombs
was the pitcher who bore the brunt of
the work. Connie will not forget him.
and the chances are he will be rewarded
with check for $1,000 or 81 800 in ad-
ition to his worlds series share.
OF course, Frank Baker will run neck
and neck with Coombs for favor, for
the Trappe, Nd, lad has been big fac
tor in the two victories credited to the
Athletics against the National Leaguers.
He probably will receive big bonus
also. ..
There was once upon a time when
II was said that Connie Mack ran his
club on less money than any major
league manager in the business. That
may have been true In the early days
of the American League, but not In late
years. Right now the salaries OF the
Athletics run from S2,4O to $1,000 The
payroll for the twenty-one regulars Ia
said to exceed $4,000. This does not in.
clude the salary Of Manager Mack.
That's an average OF over $500 to
man.
The worlds series receipts. that is,
II the Athletics win the title. will boost
the average income Of each man to
$500 In addition the club will hand
| out the deserved bonuses.
With the fifth game of the series
scheduled for New York. the owners OF
the Athletics and Giants probably will
split $4,000 purse on that game alone
In addition each club will receive some
thing like s45.oo0 from the FIRST -four
| games.
The Washington times., 1911-10-23

1t caused considerable inroads in the
ranks Of the regulars and the middle
class raceeoers, who really are the bone
and sinew of a meeting.
The card this afternoon will be run
over heavy track. The first race calls
out a big field of two-year-olds, some
Of which have shown good form at this
meeting. Futurity and Belle Nelson
look good here. The batch from Captain
Presgrave's stable will be dangerous.
All Red should be the goods in the
second race. with Fantasque and Mon
Grief the dangerous ones.
Fer the Bowie, Zeus stands out. With
the present track conditions old Super
stition will hardly do. Soternia and
Al6rian lock like the place prospects.
The race for maiden two-year-olds is
open. with Chiffon Trance and Sunlike
as good as anything. Airey may be
dangerous.
Duffield should take the Consolation
Steeplechase, with l.. Navarro end
Meadow Boy the contenders,
In the last race Fantasque may win,
with Harvey F. and Fair Miss danger
Gus.
The program book for the first week
Of the Marlboro meeting, which opens

races a day. with purses of 500, SEQ,
and $500. The meeting will run In op-
position to Norfolk, bit there vii. be

ready applications have been made for

Richmond Planning to

Now that George Washington Univer-
