TWO ~POST-SEASON
SERIES THIS YEAR

CHICAGO, Sept. 1a.-President Ban
Johnson, of the American League, re-
turned to Chicago last night from
Cincinnati with the announcements
that there would be only three post
season series between league teams.
The n of greatest interest probably
will be the series between the Boston
Americans n the New York Na-
tionals for the worlds championship.
The other series will be between the
two st. Louis league teams and the
two Chicago teams.
In making the announcement Presi-
dent Johnson made the provision that
these games would take place in the
event that the Cubs fail to win the
National pennant.
Johnson said it was evident that
Pittsburgh did not want TO meet
either the Philadelphia or Washing
ton Americans and that there was no
prospect of a meeting between the
Cincinnati and Cleveland teams fon
the Ohio championship.

ronto, with the same attraction,
would not draw flies.
The Newark Club will make money
this season. 1t is estimated hat the
club will have a nice profit, though
there has beer no official announce
ment of the amount. President
George l.. Solomon said more than
a month ago that the club was
ahead of the game. Newark had five
rainy Sundays, which took sat least
s 5000 out of the clubs Golfers. Then,
too, this season there were not as
many sales as last year., when Cady,
Agler, Louden and Smith were solu.
The Newark club did not have to
resort TO this method of making
money this season.
Skeeters Break Even.
The Jersey City club by the process
of selling its stars will get at least
an even break financially and will
probably come out several hundred
dollars to the good. President James
J.. Lillis in discussing the attendance
at Jersey City recently stated that
the Skeeters were never up in the
race last year as they were this sea
son, and still the paid admissions
for 1911 far exceeded the gate re-
ceipts for this season. though
the Insects were in the first
division for more than two months
and held the lead for some time,
From that n might infer" said
Lillis, that the fans prefer a second
division team to a first division or
g~anization; but l think a new ball
park in the centre of the town will
solve our problems"
Montreal Ahead.
The Montreal club will make money
for its owner. perhaps, for the first
time in its history, but the clubs
hat have to travel there are the los
ers. Baltimore had a successful sea
son., though the attendance fell off
during the last month, when the
Orioles were put out of the race by
accidents and trades.
If any club lost money it was Provi.
