world series receipts. ALI Of which is
very distressing. as the division falls
several thusand dollars below those Of
last year. when the Brooklyns and Bos-

1t is a SAD commentary on world
series procedure that tho receipts at
Ebbets Field last year were greater
than those at the Polo Grounds. with
all of the latter's traditions for having
the second largest seating capacity in
the country and catering to the big
ger crowds during the season.

days this year was 1858. and the
receipts 3283,44s.60. as against 100, ,239
and s3o1,7175o a year ago Much
criticism was hurled at the Brooklyn
management last fall because the
stands were not filled. many blaming II
on the mercenary instincts OF Boss Eb-
bets. This year, with the admission
prices reduced. the stands at the Polo
