Cash For Players
in Worlds Series

New York. Oct. 12.-Baseball sta
tisticians figured out to-day that
S162,921, the players share of the
receipts from the present worlds
series, is the largest sum ever di-
vided among the members of two
clubs in any worlds series. Sixty
per cent of Ii goes to the winners
and forty per cent. to the lovers. II
Boston wins the series, each of the
26 members OF that club will receive
S3,SS2.94 and each of the Brooklyns
s2,715.I. If Brooklyn should win
each of the "a players of that club
will pocket s4,07S.10. which would
set new record for the amount
won by individual players in any
worlds series. Should Boston lose
the players of that club would re-
ceive s2.506.5S each.
Although the attendance at the
first four games this year has been
nearly 5000 less than last year. the
receipts in 1916 were more than
$500 higher than in 1915, the total
for four days this year being $780,

on this country, and that, however we'll

able to stop it, but I believe the army

even IL a raid comes, it will be prac-
tically imperative. and that those who
come will be wiped out"
Discussing tho air men, Lord Derby
appealed to the newspapers not to UNI
duly agitate the public mind regarding
air raids, because Of the effect such
agitation was likely to have on the
British air men.
"It is not true hat the British aero
plane commanders have sent up their
men under atmospheric or other con-
ditions of the greatest danger" Lord
Derby declared, but if the newspapers
are not careful, public opinion will
force these commanders. for fear that
it might be said that they were doing
nothing to take action they would not
otherwise take. Moreover, if the pub
lie Is always decrying our aeroplanes
