baseball began in 1876. In his frs

lustrious American League manager
as Clark Griffith in 1901, Hughe.
Jennings In 1907, Jake Stahl in 1912
Bueky Harris in 1924, and Joe Cron
in in 1888. The Tigers got off to al
early start, lost the lead to New
York, took it again IN July, lost it or
the 9th, regained 1t the next day
and stayed on top thereafter.
The Tigers led the American
League in batting, in fielding, In
stolen bases, and its pitchers ranked
with the best that either league at
fords. With Rowe in the box, De-
troit boosted an entire team of 300
or-better hitters and while several
players sagged a bit towards the end
of the season, the batting average
for the team was about 800.
The amazing slump OF the New
York Giants, coupled with the startl-
ing offensive OF the St Louis Card
inals, enliyened a race that most ex-
perts considered settled. In a week
the Cardinals cut the Giants lead
by three games, and the New York
ers saw an apparently safe lead
blown to bits and Deans, Jerome and
Paul, performed in stellar fashion,
including a double-header In which
Jerome limited the foe to 3 hits and
no runs, and Paul, the younger, shut
them out without a hit.
Oul own guess for the world SER
les is that the Tigers will win. Bet
ter batting, fielding, and a faster
team, plus Mickey Cochrane's lead
ership. will come through. In pitch
ing, the contestants are about even
II one takes the trouble to look up
the years records. The Tigers gen
Jul vote although the margin is not
SO great and the outcome will de
pend upon the pitching form of the
boys who take the mound.
Fans who ask how the worlds
series money Is divided will have
the question answered now. The first
cut is that for the office of the high
commissioner, which gets fifteen per
cent of all receipts. After this, the
players pool gets so per cent of the
money taken In for the first four
games. After these two slices the
balance is divided four ways, with q
share to each major league and a
share to each ~contending club.
The players pool is divided be-
tween the players OF eight clubs.
The team winning the series gets AZ
per cent, the losing contender rs per
cent, and the rest, 80 per cent OF the
pool, is divided among the clubs
which finish second, third and
In the two major leagues.
This means that each second place
team divides ~ per cent, each
third place group cuts s per cent,
and each fourth place team shares
az per cent.
In addition to the money taken In
1t the gate, the radio rights have
been sold this year for the first
.ime. Henry Ford paid 100000 for
he exclusive privilege of broadcast
ng the series to the public. The
money will augment the shares in
he divisions outlined above.
