NEW GATE RECEIPTS MARK
 EXPECTED IN WORLD SERIES

paid s77,359.OO to witness the con- test.
 It is certain the players and stock holders of the two contending clubs in the coming series will not have cause for complaint regarding the financial returns and division of the same. The rivalry of the players and the interest of the fans assures big gate receipts and the national agreement and the national commission rulings provide for the distribution of the same along the following lines: The national commission receives ten per cent of the receipts of each and every game: of the remaining ninety per cent the players take sixty per cent and the club owners forty per cent Of the first four games. After four games have been played the players cease to share in the receipts and the club owners take the full ninety per cent remaining after the National com mission has levied it's assessment
 Since the worlds series came under the official control of organized base ball the total receipts have amounted to s2,163,273. Of this huge sum the twenty clubs participating in the games between 1903 and 1914 have divided $1,003,517 while the players who won and lost the championships in these years split sS73, ,09S on basis of sixty per cent to the winning team and forty per cent to the losing com bination. The national commission has received s211,546 and the coming share of the Red Sox-Phillies series will be welcome for the large reserve of the commission has melted away in the past two years owing to heavy expenses incurred in the struggle be- tween organized and independent base ball interests.
 The official figures for the eleven series under the national commission control are appended:

Boston Games Will Be Played in Braves New National League Park Which Seats 5O,O00 - Phillies' Park Smaller

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-The Philadel- phia Nationals and the Boston Ameri- cans respective pennant winners in financial rewards of their season long efforts in the coming world s series Owners and players are ex- pected to divide more than s300,000 paid in at the gates by the baseball fans of the two cities most interested
 in the series. With the immense seat ing capacity of the Boston Nationals new stadium, which will be used for the games in that city, the receipts should be larger than in any previous contests in one park.
 The Braves stadium will seat more than 50,000 and the receipts should exceed sS0, 900 per game. In PhiladeI- phia the Phillies park will not hold under these conditions the players and magnates will split the major more than 10000 and the gate is not likely to be more than s40,000. Even portion of s24O,O00, in case the series title is won in four games straight and more than double that sum should the series go six or seven games. In any event it appears probable that new gate receipts records will be established, since the present high figures are $490,449 collected in the eight game series between the New York Giants and Boston Red Sox in 1912, while the individual game record is held by the opening contest of the Athletic Giants series of 1911 played at New York when 3s,281 spectators
