lazy drifting OF a lew torn neWSp'
where the autumn breezes ran the
Behind the centertieId bieachers
there was buzz Of conversation where
the Yankee ard Giant players Were
lodging In and out of the clubhouses,
clearing out the lockers, arguing over
mislaid sweater shirts and decrepit
spiked shoes. Arthur Nehf steamed
into port behind rolling smoke bar
rage furnished by thick, long and
wicked looking black cigar. Cozy
Dolan, Johnnie Rawlings, Bancroft and
the other regulars on the roster OF the
Stoneham Brigade were on hand. not
bit perturbed over the predictions that
hard winter was approaching and coai
retailing at a dollar a. lump. why
should they be discouraged with
little matter Of about s4,aoo standlhg
between them and the yawnang door Oh
che nearest poorhouse?
That is approximately the amount
that each regular member of the
worlds champions will receive fer
knocking Messrs. Rupert and Huston's
upright young men into horizontal
position. Arthur Nehf was little
tonscious-stricken about taking the
money. Not that he didn't deserve his
share for the two victories Zone with
che assistance of Ryan) he threw into
the McGraw market basket, but ms
idea was that it was entirely a matter
of pleasure to him. The portsider ar
gued that most people have to pay for
their fun, even when they sometimes
fail to get it. Beating the Yankees
was the most enjoyable thing he mad
done this season. He felt that he
should pay somebody something Tor
having had this pleasure, SO ne is gong
70 take his money, when he gets the
check from the Commission, and give
It all away---to Mrs. Nehf.
Dividing the Swag
Eighteen of those athletes who were
familiar figures to Polo Ground fans
came in for full share of the swag.
The other seven shares were split up,
with something here for Henry Fabian,
little there for the trainer, and ap-
propriate sums for MCGUIRE, MacPhee,
Blume and the other youngsters OF the
McGraw School of Applied Baseball
Science.
The Yankees divided their melon into
twenty-six slices. Every regular on the
club drew full share. This took care OF
ali those who wore the Yankee uniform
through the season, including Frank
Roth and Charlie O'Leary. There were
twenty-five athletes on this list, and
their purse for playing "Tut Jackson"
opposite the Harry Wills" perform
ance of the Giants will be over $2,SOo.
A lot of INDECENT gents would take a
worse licking for half the money. The
extra share was divided between Mark
Roth, the Yankee secretary for foreign
affairs: Phil Schenek, the formerly
groundless groundkeeper, who recently
fell heir to new park; Doc Woods,
the chiropractical trainer, and Eddie
Bennett, the Yankee mascot. Doc drew
half share, Schenck and Roth re-
ceived $500 each, Eddie Bennett will
have $500 to spend on lollipops this
winter, and the odd money left over,
amounting to more than $f00, was
voted to Manly Llewellyn.
There was much speculation outside
the Yankee family as to the fate of
Chick Fewster, Elmer Miller and John
ME Mitchell, who were sentenced to
Boston in the trade that brought Du-
gan and Elmer Smith to this fair city.
Ostensibly, Elmer Smith gets full
share for playing second base during
infield practice and striking out twice
in the worlds series. 1t sounds too
good to be true. However, any ar
rangements that might have been made
to alleviate the boys in confinement at
Boston are strictly "sub rosa" II the

Most of the players on both teams
were getting ready to storm all the
barns between here and the broad
Pacific, not to mention the optimistic
gentlemen who are to start for Japan
In few short days. These last-named
aristocrats will carefully avoid all
barns on their journey. They are going
to play at the Japanese universities
and travel in style. The agreement the
Z players signed calls for the manage
ment to furnish them travelling condi-
tions known as "de luxe" 1t Is whis-
pered that Ping Bode refused to Join
the expedition when this clause was
read to him. Ping said he wanted to
ride both ways on any trip he took.
