With a purse Of $4,000 to fight for, the
players in the two leagues will have quite
q plum dangled before their eyes. Each
league will put up 5000. or half the
purse and the league which wins the
series will capture the entire purse, which
Is to be divided between the eight clubs
Of the winning league.
The fact that players salaries will be
going on as in the regular season makes
the purse money pure velvet for the win
ming leaguers, and with the big series to
look forward to, every club In both
leagues will be on its toes throughout
the regular schedule Of 112 games.
