The average receipts per thousand
spectators at the Polo Grounds, home
OF the Giants, probably will be around
$4,000. The Polo Grounds has not
as many high-priced box seats as the
STADIUM has to bring the average up
$4,000 and a packed attendance OF
about $4,000 would mean S165,00O
Four Games the Minimum.
At least two games are certain at
each park, as the series cannot be
decided until one team has won four
games. Supposing. which is reasona-
BILE, that the Yankees have two ca
gross receipts for just two games
would be s4s0.oO0 Should the Polo
Grounds be equally well patronized
the receipts there for two DAYS
would be around 100000 total of
sS20,000. And. as it is practically
certain that the series will not be
decided in four straight games, a
mllllon-dollar gate appears to be a
reasonable enough estimate Should
the series go the limit the takines
million
But. assuming that $500, 600 is all
that falls into the Yankee-Giant cof-
fers. the tidy sum OF S123,000 would
nrst be deducted for the national
commission. That will pay Kenesaw
handily.

ably with the s247,3Os.71 which they

AS the players participate only in

In vague way the public realizes
the magnitude of the sum at stake in

Club in Montgomery county. For the

play on temporary fairways and tenn

to play golf on their own course
something they have not been able to
do since the middle of summer. when
building operations on the old course
off Georgia avenue took away the golf
facilities of the club.
Members were requested in a letter
sent out by the club to remain off
the new fairways and greens. For
the present the permanent rough will
be used as a temporary fairway and
temporary greens have been built for
early play.
The course of the Argyle Country
Club has been completed in so far as
architectural work is concerned and
by next spring should be in such
shape that the entire course can be
used. The site of the clubhouse is
less than a half mile from the Coles
willie pike, just across the road from
the Indian Spring Club. -

It is essential that the drop kick
be made in less than two seconds
after the ball is put in play. The
kicker ordinarily stands eight to
twelve yards behind the center.
After receiving the ball he quickly
adjusts it in his hands so that the
long axis is vertical or tipped
slightly to the rear, lacings to the
front. He then drops the ball care
fully, so that it will reach the ground
in this position. AS it touches the
ground and starts to rebound, his
kicking toe drives into the lower
quarter of the ball and lifts it up
and forward. In order to obtain
the necessary power, the kicker or
dinarily takes one or two steps for
ward while adjusting the ball in his
hands.
