Hermann Figures Out Where Players Will Get Lions Share

Cincinnati, Sept. 23.-Acording to Reds, nine games for the world S championship will benefit the players more than their employers. In fact, Hermann declares that under certain money. He explains the situation in this manner
 From a ticket costing s6.60 the distribution is as follows: Sixty cents goes to the government as the war tax; 10 per cent. of the remaining s6 goes to the national commission, leaving $5.40 Sixty per cent. of this amount goes to the ball players, which leaves $2.16. Fifty per cent. of this amount goes to the other clubs n the two leagues for division, leaving exactly $1.08 to be divided equally be- tween the two pennant winning clubs. It will be seen that the share of the Cincinnati club from the highest priced seat on the grounds is only 54 cents, or less than the war tax. That doesn't look as if the club was profit eering.
 We have already received more than 100000 applications for seats, and we cannot accommodate at the park more than 35,00O people at the outside. With this tremendous inter- est, it seemed best to us to give the players who brought the pennant here as much reward as possible, and it is mainly for them that the prices have been fixed at the figures announced. They will be the ones to reap the larg- est percentage of the receipts from the series.
 'The Cincinnati club will get just 9 per cent. of the receipts from the first five games and only 22 per cent. from the receipts of any subsequent games. We are building extra boxes and bleacher seats at an expense of about $15,00 and our return from the sale 1 of these seats will not begin to pay 1 for their erection. .y
 We are doing this in order that as 1 many fans as possible may see the ! games and we are not doing 1t for 1 profit, but at an actual loss to the 1 club.
 When we have taken in $100,000 at the gate the Cincinnati club will re- ! ceive for it's share of that amount just $9,000."
