CLUES LOSE MONEY


 New York. Oct. S-Some of the 40, 900 persons who trudged out of the Polo Grounds after the last game of the worlds series today had a vision before them as they walked-a picture of the two sets of club-owners sitting snugly in the counting room, snick- ering to themselves and calling nov ing van cart away their profits. They were in the counting room and no doubt they were sitting down, puff | fing on big. fat cigars, and listening to the music of adding machines | it was about as pleasant to them as a l Turkish melody is in a Greek restau- i rant It is stated unoffrcia1ly that | neither club company will get enough | sheckles to pay it's expense out of the series. one of the few times that it has happened.
 And this, despite the fact that on each of the five days that a game was played the record for total receipts of previous series was broken. Each 1 New York club will receive approxi mately $41.21S, which is generally be- | lieved to be less than it cost either club to meet it's world series over head. Compared to the $198,07 that each operating coTnbination took to it's coffers last year it looks like a bankrupt sale
 The chief reason is that last year eight games were played, in which the players took the major portion ot four. This year only five games were played, but only four had money value to anyone except disabled veter-
 ans of the World war, and various New York charities. All receipts o1 the second game, roughly one-fifth o1
 the total, were given away because the powers that be evidently though : the umpires had made mistake 1T
 calling the game on the suppositior
 that the sun was going down.
