Cost of Staging Games.

VEN without the expense Of
railroad trips and hotel bills
the cost of staging a big
world series in New York is
enormous. In the first place all
the players on both clubs get two
weeks extra salary in addition
to their cuts of prize money.
The salary list of both clubs is
heavy, and half a months pay for
each man will amount to about
Sic, 900 for each club. The cx-
pense of having tickets printed
and handled on short notice, the
employment of much extra help
to handle the crowds, the opera
ton of headquarters for several
hundred newspaper men covering
the series, to say nothing of Of
flcial entertainment, will cost each
club not less than $4,000 apiece.
Last year, with the receipts Of
only four games to draw from,
the clubs lost money on the series.
When all these things are consid-
cred, there seems to be some
justification for the prices
charged.
The second and third place
clubs in each league will not only
divide more money than the
White Sox and Cubs, who actually
played a series, but a certain por-
ton Of the players end of the
Chicago games goes into the pool
which pays off Detroit, Cincin-
natl, Cleveland and Pittsburgh
teams. The Giants and Yankees
contributed most of this money,
but the rules provide that similar
toll must be taken from all post
season series played under the
management of the National
Commission.

ABEL KIVIAT TO TRAIN
FOR LONGER DISTANCES

Abel Kiviat, the former cham
pion miller, who attempted a como
back on the boards last winter
with fair. success. is going to train
for the longer distance races this
winter in the hops Of making the
American Olympic team next sum-
mer, as he realizes this is the
weakest department, and his
chances will be better than in the
mile with runners like Joie Ray
Ray Watson, Fay Buker. Eddie
Kirby, and Jimmy Connolly to
compete against.
He will start his training cam
paign today when he takes his
first workout at Columbia Unlver-
sity. He plans to train three
times a week for month and
will be ready to start in the first
indoor meet, the games of the
106th Infantry A. A. in Brooklyn
early in December.
The Washington times., 1923-10-19

In the first four games the
clubs got only Is per cent of
what was left, the remainder
going into the players pool. In
the last two games the clubs split
30 per cent.
The share of each club was
$685., 720.86, but the rules provide
that half of this sum must go
into the treasures of the respec-
tive leagues.
This whites, the share Of the
clubs down to $133,S64.93 each.
The expenses Of the series easily
cost each club $4,000, so after
everything is settled Uncle Sam
will get 9 better share than either.
In Mree-handed split he prob
ably will be few thousand to
the good.

Stribling was a football player

HAMMOND OPERA HOUSE
DESTROYED BY FIRE

The Hammond Opera House block,
erected in 1904, and one of the best
buildings in the village was destroyed
by fire last Wednesday evening. The
Gardner Hotel, across the street was
saved only through the heroic efforts
of the volunteer fire department.
The burned building was owned by
John H. Schieven, and besides the
auditorium on the main floor was oc-
cupied by the City Garage in the base
ment and the upper floor was occu-
pied by the Woodmen, Yoemen and
Royal Neighbors lodges.
The greater portion of the loss was
covered by insurance, according to
the Hammond News. The fire is
thought to have started from de-
fective stove on the auditorium
stage.
The News states that committee
is already working out the PROPOSE
ton of securing village hall. Bust
ness men are also considering an idea
concerning new garage there.
