New York, Oct. 2-While it is un-
likely that new records will be es-
tablished for either attendance or re-
ceipts in the coming worlds series
it is certain that both players and
magnates will profit to a consider
able extent when the books are bal
anced at the end of the conflict. TAX
ing the attendance of the past few
years and striking an average on the
basis of six games, it will be seen
that close to II SO .c0Oatrposet
that close to $4,000 spectators can
be counted upon to witness the play.
In the eleven series to date under
the control of the National Baseball
Commission, c the total attendance has
reached the remarkable figure of
1,53S,91S and the total gate receipts
$2,4SS,634, which gives an average
charge of admission of about $1.60
per head Assuming that the at
tendance at the coming series will
reach an aggregate of something
like 10000 the gross receipts Will
total $3.50, 900 Should the title be
won in four games straight or even
in a five-game series the gate re-
ceipts would necessarily be smaller.
Under the rules of the National
Commission the gross gate receipts
are divided in the following manner:
The National Commission receives 10
per cent of the receipts of every
epr cent, the players reveive GO per
cent for the first four games and the
lclub owners 40 per cent After four
games have been contested the play
ers cease to participate in the finan-
cial rewards and the magnates take
fthe entire gate less the ten per cent
paid to the Commission.
Under comparatively recent rul-
ing of the major leagues, the club
owners of the teams competing in
the worlds series are obliged to di-
vide twenty-five per cent of their
profits among the other clubs of

The record attendance and re-
ceipts of the worlds series is held at
present by the 1912 contest when
the New York Nationals and the
Boston American played an eight
game series in which the Red Sox

New York. Oct. 2.-The tWenty-hfth
struggle for Worlds Series baseball
honors and the twelfth under the con-
troll of the National Baseball Commits
sion will bring together two Eastern
clubs as has been the case each year
since 1911. With Boston, winners of
the American League League pennant,
and Brooklyn the victors in the Ma
tional League race as contenders, the
battles for the premier honors of the
professional diamond will revive mem.
cries of similar contest in which these
clubs have figured in the past.
The Boston Americans since their
entry into the junior league in 1901
have won the pennant four times, not
including the present season. and have
competed for the Worlds title three
times. In 1903 the team captured its
first pennant and then defeated the
Pittsburgh Nationals in an eight game
series by five games to three. The fol-
lowing year the team repeated its
league victory but the New York Club.
winner of the National League pen
nant, would not permit it's players to
contend for the Worlds Championship,
which action eventually led to the Ma
tional Commission taking charge of
the Worlds Series. In 1912 and 1915
the Boston Americans again won the
right to play in the Series and de-
feated the New York Nationals and
the Philadelphia Nationals respective
ly by scores of four to three, with one
lite contest; and four games to one.
Although Brooklyn has figured in
major league baseball for twenty-six
years as against Boston's fifteen, the
Superbas have won but three pennants
and have never played in Worlds
Series under the modern meaning of
that term. Brooklyn entered the Ma
tional League in 1890 and signaled it's
debut by straightway capturing the
| fig At the end of the season the team
met the Louisville Club, champions Of
the American Association in the
Worlds Series of those days and the
contest ended in a seven game tie;
each club winning three games with
another tied when darkness put an
end to the play. In 1899 and 1890
Brooklyn was the National League
champion but as the Temple Cup Sc
ries had been abandoned and the pres
ent series not yet established, the Sup
erbas were unable to find opponents
for a titular combat.
While Brooklyn was deprived of the
opportunity to compete for the cham
|pionship in past years the present Sc
ries offers the club a chance to bring
the National League back on an equal
footing with the American League in
the matter of Worlds Series won. At
the present time the record shows that
the junior league clubs have won six
out of the eleven series played since
the National Commission assumed
control of the basebtll classic. The
score stands as follows: American
League: Philadelphia Athletics, 3;
Boston Red Sox. 2; Chicago White
Sox, 1: National League: Chicago
Cubs. 2; New York Giants, Boston
Braves and Pittsburgh, one each.

Frances that and what they were going

impressed by the girl, for she rseldom
put herself out for people she did not
care about.
Helen wondered vaguely why Fran

1t be for an Interior motive. And then
she realized that she was actually
thinking things about Frances. the girl
who had been her best friend. 1t
wasn't fair and surely she, Helen, was
not jealous

You spoiled baby" Helen laughed.

was the fact that Frances was fasci-
