iectiyely nor as individuals appeared
to get going in the manner shown in
previous world series.
To crush completely and deeisively
the great combination which had rep
resented Philadelphia in the Ameri.
can league in recent years is nonor
enough for any rival baseball club,
but the Braves in their youthful ar.
dor and speed did even better, for
they established a new worlds series
record by winning in succession the
four games necessary to cdnch the
title.
Not since the national commission
assumed charge of these annual inter
league contests in 1905 has this feat
been achieved until today. Several
clubs nave won four out of five games
however, and in the early days of
the Temple cup and National league
versus American Association straight
victories were chronicled.
The Athletics fought doggedly I'M
til the end and even late in the game
today their adherents, who had made
| them two to one favorites in the
| wagering before the opening contest,
confidently believed they would start
batting rally that would bring about
momentary stop in the braves runs.
The Mackmen's famous punch, how
ever. appeared to be gone. The new
| champions were first to score and ex-
cept for half an inning, when the
score was tied, held the lead until
the emu.
To Captain Johnny Evers fell the
| honor of scoring the initial run of the
final game of the 1914 series. He
opened the fourth session by working
Shawkey for pass; advanced to sec
ond on Connolly's infield out, moved
to third on Whitted's single, and scor-
ed on Schmidt's infield out.
The Athletics tied the score in tle
fifth inning when Barry singled, took
second on Schang's out, and scored Oh
Shawkey's double. Nothing daunted,
the Braves came right back in their
| half of the same inning and won the
| game with additional runs, bota made
after two were out. Rudolph singled
| to center, took third on Moran's dou-
BILE to left and both came home when
Evers singled over second. The Ath-
| letics appeared to lose heart and
never seriously threatened in the re-
naming sessions at bat.
Because of the shortness of the Sc
ries, the club owners and National
commission divide smaller sum taan
in any world series since 1910. The
attendance at today's game was 34,-
1868, and the receipts $62,653. Of this
sum the players received 33,S32.62,
the club owners $22, 555OS and the Ma
| tional commission $6.265.30.
The total attendance for the series
was 111,000; receipts, 1926, 739; play
ers' share, 1921, 900.94; each clubs
share, $40,G325S, and the National
commissions portion. $22,673. AS
winners, the Boston players receive
60 per cent of $121,90O.94, or $73,-
14O.56, while the Atlietics, as losers,
get s4S, 1900.
OF the Boston club 26 players are
eligible to share in the prize money,
giving each man $2,S13,10, should the
money be divided equally. OF the
Athletics, "a players are entitled to
divide the losers and, which would
give each Mack man $2,031,6S on a
share and snare alike basis.
The players of neither club have as
vet notified the National commission
commission just how the money Will
be divided. The players receive less
money than has fallen to their lots
since the series of 1910. Each of the
four umpires receives $1,000, the
money coming from the National com
MISSIONS percentage of the profits.
The worlds series of 1914 was the
tenth between the pennant winners oil
the two major leagues since the Ma
tional commission, the highest court
of baseball. took charge of the annual
| autumn championship battle in 1905.
Today's victory of the Braves brings
about a tie for inter-league honors,
| since American league and National
league clubs each have won five cham
pionship pennants.
The American league victories and
the clubs that won them follows:

Connie Mack, the Athletics leader
makes the only manager who has won
