NEW YORK, October 1S.-For each of
the twenty-three Giants who were eligible
for the worlds series. checks, on which
were written figures for opulent amounts
were ready yesterday. and the players
were paid their share Of the spoils. The
players share of the first four games
was $147.572-2S and Of this 10 per cent
went to the New York players. That
meant s.. AZ for each player, and none
was so downcast yesterday over defeat
as to fail to call for his share of the
largess. The checks We're distributed in
the office of the New York club. Manager
McGraw collected the money in lump
sum, taking check for the amount from
the national commission. and Secretary
OBrien gave each player a check for his
individual portion.
The players also received five days adj
ditional pay on their seasons contracts.
Their contracts expired October IL, and
they were paid for October l., 13. II. IL
and 16 as well. SO that they are not at all
without material balm in the hour of de-
feat.

izing that the last game was thrown
away by them when they had it in their
hands. However. they took the matter
philosophically and already are looking
forward to evening up matters next year.
AT the same time they want to forget
base ball for while. and the exodus to
winter homes has begun.
