Giants to Split $131,6S5- Tanks
 Share Is $87,756.67

New York Oct. Is. - The Giants worlds champions again after sixteen years of effort, planning and scheming by John McGraw, went to the Polo Grounds yesterday with the Yankees, but not to play baseball. Tho men on both teams had weighty financial mat ters on hand, and held meetings in executive session to decide on a divis- ion of the spells allotted to them from the first five games of the big event
 The Giants have s131,635 to split, the Yankees $S7,756.67. The differ ence between those two sums is prob ably what that stop and throw by Johnny Rawlings and Kelly's throw to F'risch in the ninth inning of Thurs days throbbing battle means to the two teams. A $43,000 double play! It will take rank with the $30,O00 huff of Fred Snodgrass, way back in 1912. which also robbed McGraw of a worlds title. .st
 'Splitting'' Their Shares.
 If the Giants and Yankees had agreed on a division on the basis of twenty-five players for each club, the winners would have received $5,365.40 and the losers $3,510.26. But num- Der of split shares will be given, men who were with their clubs only part of the season being allotted less than the regulars. These schemes of dis tribution were sent to Judge Landis. baseball commissioner, for his o. K. before the checks will be sent out There was quite a stormy time in the Yankee meeting. Frank Roth, the coach Al De Vormer, the big sub- stitute catcher; Bill Piercy and Tom Rogers left the club house in a huff over some decision, probably cutting them to less than they think they're entitled to. The Giants practically agreed on a scheme of division on the train coming coming home from St. Louis, so their labors were easy. They had their first group photograph as the worlds champs of 1922, and the only thing the matter with it is that George Burns wasn't present He's probably on his way to some quiet spot for a winters rest after the ex- citement.
 Can't Go Transforming.
 While the players were at their club houSea they received formal notice from Judge Landis that the men on both teams will be forbidden to barn storm" this year, and there were some wry faces, for team called Babe Ruth'S Stars had already been form ed with Ruth, Mays, Schang, Hoff- man, and other Yankees in the line up to play at Newark on Sunday. The Tanks had understood that only the team winning the wos3assessitl was affected by the ruling. Ruth told the promoter of the Jersey game, "I'll be there on Sunday, with the accent on the "I," but he probably will think better of it. The statement Is very plain in the new rules governing the | Worlds Series signed last year by Judge Landis and the club owners. Section 8, paragraph B, says:
 Both teams that contest in the Worlds Series are required to disband immediately after it's close. and the members thereof are forbidden to par ] ticipate as individuals or as a team in exhibition games during the year in which the worlds championship was decided"
 1 The actual division of the money will probably come next Tuesday, but many of the players have decided not l to wait until then. Rawlings, the in- dividual star of the <last game, said he'd take the first train he could get after the meeting yesterday.
