NAP FUCKER QUITS ' BASEBALL AS HE
 TAKES BIG CHECK

New York. Oct. 14-Nap Fucker, Brooklyn's grand old man. who pitch ed two successful worlds series in nings last Thursday, announced his retirement yesterday. tRucker. in his day the greatest left-hander of the National League, Is only 31 years old, but he worked his arm out with second division club. During the past three seasons he pitched only after long intervals. Napoleon served just 10 years in Ebbets' service.
 "I know when I am through" said Fucker yesterday. While I have been pitching off and on for the last few years 1t Is too big a strain. After pitch a game my arm just hangs for 15 days"
 Rucker says he has no baseball plans ahead. He says he is sorry to leave Ebbets and the club and extends his thanks to the Brooklyn fans for their kindness to him. Rucker was drafted by Ebbets in the fall of 1905 from the August South Atlantic League club. Connie Mack had an option on the Augusta club that year for any player he should care to se-t lect. His choice rested between Rucker and another pitcher. Holmes. Mack selected Holmes. Had he se- lected Fucker. Maps career might have been vastly different.

KID GLEASON FORCED PING EDDIE TO LEAVE
 BED AT EARLY HOUR
Sporting News)

Players do not dare take liberties with Kid Gleason. On the 1913 training trip of the White Sox' the veteran made it rule that all hands had to be up at o'clock in the morn ing. The day after he posted this rule the Kid made the rounds of the players apartments in a Pasadena Ho- tel. All were up except Ping Bodie.
 As Ping lay sleeping soundly Glea- son approached armed with a stout razor strap. The ponderous form of the Italian fence buster was covered only by single sheet. Down came the strop and up bounced Bodie. It was the last time he slept late on that jaunt.
 On the same trip the White Sox management decided Reb Russell wouldn't do as a big leaguer. Glea- son insisted the Texan would make good. The Kids pleadings were heard. The Rebel remained with the Sox. N

RECEIPTS FOR BIG
 SERIES MAY HAVE REACHED THE LIMIT

New York, Oct. 14-World's series receipts have been advancing steadily for some years, but it is apparent that the limit has been reached. Braves Field in Boston. the largest of all baseball parks, costs more than base ball receipts justify. The experience of the Brooklyn owners in regard to the $5 tickets shows that the end has been reached irr regard to prices of admission. There can be no larger parks and. no advance in prices over those which now prevail. At this years series the average attendance was 32,000 and the average receipts per game $76. 900. IT
 What "a difference few years have made. When the Pirates and Boston Americans battled in the first worlds ! series back in 1903 he total receipts 4 amounted to a little more than $50,- 900 for eight games. The fans paid \ a little more than $6S,0O0 to see the Athletics and Giants in their five ghmes in I19O5. When the receipts for the Cubs-w White sox series in 1906 reached $106.000. it was held up as showing the great interest being talk en in the sport. Yet the average re- ceipts were less than $1S,000 per game, as compared with $76,o00 this year,
 Recalling this years figures sas.-, 600 for the winning team and $65,ooo' for the losers sonSs curious angles of past series are brought to view. The players shares in the series of 1905 and 1906 did not amount to as much as the losing team gets this year. In 1907 and again in, 1903 the two teams got less money, less by many thous- ands, than the losers draw dowi. now. It Is only asfew years since the Tigers and Pirates played their series, 1909 to be exact. and the players money then amounted N to about the sum which the losers alone drew down in the 1916 series. The Red Sox, win- uers this year. get $so.oo0 more than both teams got in 1909. In 1910 when the Cubs and White Sox played their Worlds Series the two teams got $1s.000 less than the Red Sox alone will divide up this year.
 For the last five years tho players shares have averaged from $120,000a to s150,000, the figures varying to a great extent according to the capaci- ties of the various parks. This year Q new mark has been set up, the play iers drawing down the big sum of $162.S27. As said before. it is not likely to go higher. Before another series is played there may be read jpstment Of certain. features in regard to prices. If there Is a revision 1t will be downward, mot upward.
 The one chance of greater receipts from a series would be in a series in svolving New York and Boston teams. Playing at Braves Field and at the Polo Grounds some records could be get up while prices remained down. With teams from other cities involved ldt Is not likely that any series forI many years to come will average more, money per game and make more for the players than has the series which ] ended at Boston yesterday.

DIVIDE MONEY AND
 SCATTER ITO THEIR HOMES
Report That Neither Merkle Nor McCarty Got
 Share of Brooklyn Coin.

New York. Oct. .14.-Players of the Boston. and Brooklyn baseball teams sliced a juicy melon yesterday, when nearly s1ss.0oO was divided among the n1en who took part in the worlds series won by the Red Sox.. Accord ing to the official figures. the wear CTS of the Red Sox shared $97, 7,756.47, while the Dodgers, because of the in- ability to cope successfully with the American League and worlds series champions, had to be content with $65, ,170.96. tSi 4 There were no absentees at Ebbets Field yesterday, afternoon, when those entitled to a share of the spells were required to put in an appearance and relieve the Brooklyn management of the superfluous cash. The, division was made in secret and Wilbert Rob- inson,j who was intrusted with. the task of, disbursing the small fortune. was rather chary of giving details as to the exact way in which the money was split.
 He stated that twenty-two players received $2,645 each, but that scarcely accounts for all. thel money, and the probability is that several who did not actually take part in the series were reimbursed in a measure for their ad- herence tc the club owned by Charles HI. Ebbets and, Stephen McKeever. Under the rules fof the NationaltCom mission the players are supposed to share and share alike. but 1t Is likely that the real owners of the bonus gen orally let in some of their less for tunate clubmates.
 A rumor that neither Merkle no McCarty shared in the profits could not be verified; neither could the SUD- position be confirmed that Wheezer Dell, Ed Appleton, Gus Getz and 0l- lie OMara were less fortunate than the others. N

HAGEN BEATEN IN
 SEMI-FINALs BY
 JOCK HUTCHINSON

New York, Oct. 14-Braw Jock Hutchinson, the fiery laddie from the land of the heather. Pittsburgh's hope and Scotland's pride in the first annual tournament for the championship or the Professional Golfers association at Siwanoy, tumbled Walter Hagen, metropolitan, and Western open cham pion, into defeat in the semi-nnal round of the title contest yesterday, winning 2 up on the home green, in match during which the young home bred seemed a probable winner until the last few holes were played. Long Jim Barnes of Whttemarsh Valley was the opponent of the doughty Scot in the final match for the professional title today, and the lion of England will endeavor to make a wholesome meal of the missiles of Scotland.
 Hagen found to his sorrow, and lions have been known to develop cases Of indigestion on much less provocation than a diet of Scotland's favortte flower. From the manner in which Hutchinson overcame Hagen's lead and won out in a driving finish yes- terday, the 1anky Englishnan must beware lest the thistle of Scotland be more of a thorn in the side than a meal in his maw.
 With the defeat of Hagen, the flow CT of the homebred flock. goes the last chance of a victory for native son. and, much as the eager gallery desired to see America first. the fine fighting finish of the Scot was we'll appreciat- ed and. literally applauded.
