New Money Record Is Sci by the Big
 Series Just Ouer

New York. October 13-The 1921 Worlds Series, ended today. set new financial and attendance records. The total receipts for the eight games were $9Oo,2ss, contributed by 2e9,s7s spectators.
 This was s177,s19 more than the best previous gate collected during the 1919 series between Cincinnati and Chicago when s722,414 was paid by the fans of the two cities during attendance in the series just closed was also 1s,075 greater than the eight gatherings which witnessed the memorable Giants Boston American that post-season classic registered 251,901, which has stood as a record for nine years.
 As a result of the enormous gate re- ceipts all those who participated in the sharing of the funds will receive more than any of their predecessors in similar position. The Giant players, as winners. collect so per cent of 75 per cent of the receipts for the first five games, amounting to s131. .635, which, divided among some 25 eligible men. gives approxi- mately s5,265 to each Under the plan of distributing 25 per cent among the club players finishing second and third in both major leagues, the Cleveland Americans and the Pittsburg Nationals will divide S43,87S.34 equally, while the two St. I ,,Ia 61ithg share $29.252.22.
 The magnates also come in for a record division of the gate moneys. The advisory board. which scheduled the national commission in the reor- ganization of professional baseball, will take as it's 8 per cent share $195, ,0S4.95. The club owners share will amount to s472, 2,675.S2. This lat ter sum exceeds by sS2,853, the best previous club owners share made during the 1919 series, when $3S9,s22 was divided
 The owners of the two local clubs, however, are not permitted to re- tain and divide equally the close to half million dollars which appears at first sight to be theirs The rules governing the financial affairs of the world series specifically provide that 50 per cent of each clubs share for the first seven games shall be paid into their respective league treas uries and that in case an eighth game is necessary, as was the case today, then 75 per cent of the clubs share of receipts for that game must go to the league treasuries.
 Uncle sam Gets Cut
 Uncle Sam in the guise of war tax and income tax collector, will also share in the close to $1,o00,000 paid by New Workers and others to see the Giants and Yankees battle for the championship of the baseball world. The straight 10 per cent tax was deducted before the gate re- ceipts were made public but there are still experts of the government accounting department to work cut what each player. club owner and pire shall contribute In the form of income taxes.
 Still another group will do some figuring and announce the leagues in the shape of excess profits, surtaxes and other little Ge tails whi9h business enterprises, whether sport or commercial. are required to eventually pass into the treasury at Washington.

 The State Normal boys arrive here this morning. Reports from Jack . sonville have it that they are a husky bunch, and know football. but little Is known of their prowess here. Past performances. however, have the Normals doped to put up hard, determined battie, but the Bulldogs are expected to win the game.
 Coach Marshalls men have been put through week of hard work in cluding several scrimmages and much work with the tackling dummy and on signals.
 Cooper Ont of Game
 The Bulldogs VIII be minus the services of their star fullback this afternoon. as Cooper. who played such a nice game against Mlllsaps last Saturday. is still out of the game with an injured shoulder He will be unable to play at all this afternoon.
 Cooper's place at fullback will be filled by Ratliff, the big boy who has been going so good lately. Rat Tiff Is a big fellow, being close to six feet tall, and weighing around I75 pounds. He is fast and runs in- reference well. An injured shoul- der has hlndered him this season, but he seems to be rounding into form at last. and ought to go good against Jack sonville this afternoon.
 Ford At Quarter
 Lackey. who has played quarter back in all three games this season. has been shifted over to halfback, and Ford is running the team now Both are good open field runners, as well as hard line plungers. and their presence in the backfield is absolutely essential. Ford has had more experience than Lackey call ing signals. and Coach Marshall be- lieves he has strengthened the team in this department by shifting these two men.
 Dan Gaylord will start the game at the other halfback, but there is at least one man who is daad set on getting in at least part of the game at this half, and this is Clarke. who played such great game against

walloped By Hoodoo
 Probably the worst day ever experienced by q football coach happened in Birmingham laat saturday when S. P. U.. came down from the hills of Tennes- see to tackle Charlie Browns Partners. Ed Norton told me the story, and he also asserted that Southwestern's head coach left town, tearing his hair and curslns the fates.
 When the S P. U. boys got in town last Saturday morning there was cripple in the ranks. MT. Norton took charge of the bunch and the injured lad wanted medi- cal attention. Ed carried him to a, hospital, and the doctor told him that puss had formed on the knee and that he would have to lance 1t.
 Ed remonstrated, saying he didn't want to order an operation for an opposing prayer. He came back to town, got the s. P. U. coach and they journeved out to the infirmary. The coach gave his permission for the lancins, and one of his best stars was sheiNed for the game.
 When the coach got back to town and inquired about another star he was told the lad had gone to doctor with sore neck, and that the M. D. had lanced 1t to give him relief. Then, when the game was staged another star fell by the wayside in a heavy scrimmage, and it turned out he had broken a leg. s. P. U. suf- fered the loss of three good mon while here, and it's no wonder that the coach left town with a bad impression of Birmingham.

cording to Saxe, a couple of con- cession men from the State fair drifted into his place last week and decided to try a game of duck pins. Neither knew any thing of the art of bowling, They shucked their coats, while the most robust of the two picked up ball.
 Watch me knock the babies down" he yelled, and before Sake could stop him he had thrown the ball on a line into the mess of duck pins. The little negro pin setter lodged for his life, and then made a bee line for the main entrance. Sake hasn't seen his terrified employe since.
 As for the showmen, they pro- nounced the game too tame when they learned the ball should be rolled along the alley. Sake says they finished their first game in half-hearted fashion. and then trooped out, with strong odor of "roastnyear" wine emanating from their respective breaths.
