 The division of the prize moneys Is hgured on an equal division basis. The twenty-five Giant players, however, will not share their earnings equally, but will split up the purse on a slid ing scale. The White Sox will divide the winners share in the same way. The total receipts are the second largest in the history of the worlds series, the 1s12 Red Sox-Giants series alone bettering this years figures. Just as the defeat meant a loss of 1 $3O,613.70 to the Giant players the victory gained that amount for the ] White Sox men. Through the triumph i each White Sox player Is $1,124.55 ! richer. For winning the Sox players averaged $3.673.64 per man. Had they lost they would have had to be i content with an average of $2,449.os. 1912 Best for Players.

 The series of 1912, in which onl, twenty-two Red Sox players figured in the spells, netted each Boston play CT $4,022. So 1912 can be considered the record year for the players ever though larger totals were won ir 1916 and 1917. -....
