AMERICANS GENEROUS
IN SUPPORTING SPORTS

In no country in the world are the
patrons Of sport so generous with
their athletes as in the United States
The reports of the post-season series
in base ball this year show that the
sum of s77S,9s6 was paid out lin ad-
missions for these post-season games
throughout the country. This total
includes the big world series. the lit
tie world series and all the other
series
A large percentage of this amount
went direct to the individual players
as a gift for their ability to win the
pennants of their respective leagues.
Winners and losers of the poSt-Season
series shared in the division, SO that
no championship team which entered
into 4 series of this kind was without
a financial reward.
The sums which were distributed
to the players individually ranged
from nearly $500 per man to about
5000. All of this was in the nature
of Il bonus. There is no real cham
pionship involved in any of the post
season series. the primary intent be-
ing to reward the players and to Eaiu
an annual distinction as being better
series.
Add to the three-quarters of Il mil
lion of dollars which were paid for
admissions to the games at least an
other half million which was ex-
pended in one way and another for
travel and for entertainment by the
fans and an idea may be had as to
how Uncle Sam blows himself on his
national game.
This is only the item of post-season
series and hasn't a thing to do with
the regular games which are sched-
uled between April and the end Of
September. The total number Of
games played did not exceed thirty
and for this comparatively small num-
ber the base ball fans were willing
to give sum that totaled far moro
than a million dollars.
