EIGHT CLUBS SHARE

First Division Teams in Both
Big Leagues to Get Cut of
Annual Fall Melon.

CHICAGO, January 1.-Teams finishing
in the first division in the National and
American League pennant races will here
after share in the players receipts of the
world series This decision was reached
at a conference here yesterday between
August Hermann. chairman of the ma
tional base ball commission. representing
the National League. and President Ban
Johnson of the American League.
The new plan of dividing the annual
base ball prize means that eight clubs
will share in the money instead of only
the winners of the two league champion
ships Under the new scheme. players on
the club winning the world championship
will receive $4,000 each. while the losers
will be awarded S1,400 each. What amount
the other six clubs in the two leagues VIII
get has not been definitely decided upon.
but it will be figured out according to a
basis, Chairman Hermann
said.
The present plan will be given a trial
next fall and will be made permanent II
it proves satisfactory
after awarding the winning players
$4,000 each, and the S1,400 each, We
will divide the remainder of the prize
money among the players on the teams
which finish second, third and fourth,
Chairman Hermann said. Originally.
we intended to place all of the sixteen
clubs on percentage basis, but decided
to make a fiat sum for those who par
ticipated in the series.

The new arrangement is the out
growth of an agitation which has been
on for several years. When the world
series was conceived it was not
thought that it would ever reach pres
ent day proportions. Those who drafted
the early plans of the base ball classic
believed the winning players might
receive as much as $4,000 in some years
but they never thought the individual
players prize would reach $4,000 or
$4,000
There will be no change in the meth
cd of deducting the players share from
the series receipts. They will continue
to share in the first four games. The
series between Chicago and New York
last fall netted the players $152.88S. The
White Sox's share was s91.733. and the
