Chicago, Oct. 1.-THE war tax col
lected by the government from the
worlds series games amounted &c
$73,23s, Of which Chicago contributed
|$37,774 and Cincinnati $35,4sb.
The club owners share of the re-

the Chicago and Cincinnati clubs
were credited with s1s4,s11 each, but
more than half of that goes into the
treasures Of the American and Ma
tional leagues.
Leagues Get Slices.
Under the nine-game arrangement,
so per cent Of the clubs share OF the
receipts Of the first seven games and
Is per cent of the clubs share of the
eighth game go to the treasures of
the respective leagues. That reduces
the share retained by each club own
II approximately to $4,000.
Out Of that money each club own
er paid his players salaries and trav-
cling expenses and all the incidental
costs except the salaries of the UNI
pires and the expenses Of the national
commission.
Temporary Seats Costly.
For instance, it cost Comiskey over
$4,000 net to accommodate 1000 ex-
ira patrons on the temporary seats
erected at White Sox park. The ex-
pense of erecting and wrecking those
emergency stands was $4,000 in
round figures. but there Is a salvage
of something like $4,000 in the lumber
that a be used again by the wreck
ing company.
In return for that net cost of ap-
proximately 5000, the Chicago clubs
share Of the money paid by the fans
who occupied them was less than
$500. The rest OF the receipts went
to the ball players. the Cincinnati
club, the National commission and to
the government.
Owners of the two clubs which con-
tested the worlds series estimated
that their net profits amounted to ap-
proximately the sum collected by the
government, namely, $73,239.
