amount was almost doubled the fol-
lowing year when 1881 persons
contributed S342,l64 to see the
Philadelphia and New York series
of six games. Thi. was Il mighty
jump but it was eclpsed in 1912. the
banner year for attendance and fin
ancial results. The Boston Ameri=
cans and New York Nationals played
eight games. one of them resulting
in a tie, that year. and II was estim-
atCd that Il quarter of a million spec
tators saw the protractcd series,
which drew $i9O,ii9. This cnor-
nous increase was. of course, due to
the extra games that were required
but last year when only five games
were needed to settle the questioning
supremacy between the Giants and
Athletics $325,9S0 was paid in with
an attendance of 151 ,000o. The a,-
cragc receipts per game in 1ol2
was SCI ,3OG. while the average last
year was increased to s65.
Each of the winning players on
the winning side in 1903, the first
year that the series was played un-
der the conditions which now pre-
vail, received $l,3lG.25 and each OF
the New York losers were handed
s'.5e6 each. Last year each player
of the Athletics got winning por-
tion of $3,246.36 and the losing
share frr each New York player was
S2,l6i..c.
The basis upon which the Worlds
Series receipts are divided is as fol-
lows: The National Commission re
ceives 10 per cent of the receipts OF
each and every game. The players
of the two competing clubs receive
GO per cent of the remaining 30 per
cent of the first four games played.
The sum is divided 60 per cent to
the winners and 40 per cent to the
losers The remaining 10 per cent
VI the 80 per cent of the first four
sames goes to the club owners; 80
per cent of the receipts of every
game after the first four becomes tho
property of the stockholders of the
two contesting clubs

New York, Oct. G.-No clearer or
more positive Illustration of the ex-
traordinary interest taken by the
public in the annual Worlds Cham
pionship Series OF baseball games
can be desired than that furnished
by glance at the financial results,
a statement of which is officially
announced at the end of caclI post
season competition for the coveted
title and flag. Through the box Of
flee its popularity can easily be
measured. Compared with the
mcagre returns at the initial series
in 1884 the enormous crowds reg
istered by the clicking turnstilcs
show that by leaps and bounds the
attendance in recent years has as
sumcd such gigantic proportions that
there is no telling what it may
amount to in years to come.
The first championship games be-
tween the Providence "Grays" and
the Metrorolitans may have been On
ly lightly attended and there is
nothing on record TO show what the
lSSSiDto dHoaHlSu W loi th' isl tS
games tlren played, as Providence
won three straight. The following
year. however, when seven games
were played in four different cities,
Chicago. st. Louis. Pittsburgh and
Cincinnati, the financial result was
about $4,000. That year the fight
was a hot one between the Chicago
Nationals and the American Associa-
tion Club of st. Louis, and one can
hardly imagine what would be the
yield just now II. such series were
possible over similar circuit.
OF course in those days seats in
the bleachers could be had for two
bits and the best seats in the grand
stand brought the top price of half
q dollar. Even at those rates there
could not have been much enthus
iasm judging from the results. To-
day, however. prices have scared so
that single admission costs dol
lar, or rather that is the face value
of the little card board and the hold
er of one of these is considered lucky
If it has not cost him more than
thrice that amount.
In the early days OF the World s
Series tickets were easily obtained at
the regular prices and no one had to
worry as to whether he would get
his favorite seat for one or all of the
games. This easy method of salts
flying ones baseball appetite disap-
reared years ago and fabulous prices
are offered for ordinary seats in the
stands, not to speak Of the immense
prices demanded for the exclusive
coupons which entitle the possessor

Commencing at the very bottom of the

application advanced steadily, first Sc
curing an education through his own
efforts and then reaching the top Of
his profession by the same hard work
and steady application.
He has successfully filled the office
of deputy district attorney, was select

the Willamette university, established
fine practice, and although of oppo-
site politics to Governor West, was Sc
lected by him for position on he su-
premc bench, for which office he now
seeks reelection. His opinions are
clearly and foreibly written, and he
seeks rather TO do justice and to inter-
pret the law to accomplish that end
than to follow blindIy the ancient prec-
edents that have grown shop-worn.
He is an. energetic citizen, putting
his money into Salem and Marion
county businesses and always ready to
do full man s part for whatever
helps his nome city andeounty. He is
past exalted ruled of the EIks and in
that order is known as the "father of

versation was secret.
At Vera Cruz it was said President
Huerta would be driven from Mexico
City in about 80 days and planned to
make a last stand against his Mexican
enemies at Puebla, his idea being to
hold out until the Americans rescued
him, because he was convinced the
Americans would spare his life and the
Mexieans would not.
The cabinet session today was the
longest since the Atlantic fleet sailed
for Mexican waters The secretaries
were not communicative concerning its
details but it was understood Bryan
made n full report on the Mexican sit
uation to date and that Secretary of
War Garrison told Of the condition OF
the transports and the possibilities of
the militia. He was said to have stat
ed that half ,of the national guards
entire strength, well equipped and in
fighting trim, could be put into the

Get an ounce of mercolized wax at

Some Bio Pecan Trees.

Like the Persian walnut the pecan
long has been grown in this country,
but it's commercial possibilities We're
neglected. Some of the trees are of
enormous size and known to be very
old. In Milledgeville, Ga, an old Pc
can tree stands which is known to
have been planted by the Indians over
100 years ago. The owner values it
so highly that he has recently taken
out $500 fire insurance on it because
it has been so closely surrounded by
buildings that it is endangered. The
largest pecan tree on record is near
Little Falls, Okla. 1t has an altitude
of 100 feet, spread of 40 feet and
trunk circumference of % feet
taken four feet from the ground. In
Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas and
other sections pecan trees may be
found in forests, reaching ITO feet in
height.
