the eligible players of the teams con-
testing in the World Series 60 per cent

figures, while the players of the two
st. Louis teams, which finished third
n each pennant race, will split up

Cleveland Clubs and about 5000 to each
PLAYER Of the two st. Louis Clubs.
To date the two club owners have

uted among other club owners. so that

melon cutting.
