CHICAGO AMERICANS, 6; BROOKLYN NATIONALS, 5.
BOSTON, Oct. 7.—Forty two thousand people saw the(
Boston American defeat the Brooklyn Nationals here this after ;
noon in the first game of the world’s series. It was a close and !
exciting contest, the fans going wild with joy when the game j
ended with a score of t» to in favor of Boston.
The victors fielded brilliantly, while Brooklyn’s defence [
was weak. Manpiard started to pitch for Brooklyn, but his do
fense crumbled completely in the seventh inning, when two
errors and a hit gave Boston three runs and a safe lead. I’fef
for replaced Manpiard and pitched an uphill game, but the* lead, 1
gained was too much for him to overcome.
Boston’s victory was threatened in the ninth inning when
pitcher Shore weakened and was taken from the box, Mays re
placing him. Three of the Brooklyn players were on bases
when Danbert was thrown out, ending the game.
Boston secured but seven hits, while Brooklyn has ten to
its credit. Boston had one error and Brooklyn four.
NEW YORK, Oct 6. — In the eleven
series to date under the control of
the National Baseball Commission,
the total attendance has reached the
remarkable figure of 1,538,918, and
the total gate receipts $2,488,634, ,
which gives an average charge of ad
mission of about $1.60 per head As
gaming that the attendance at the
present series will reach an aggregate
of something like 175,000, the gross j
receipts will total $280,000. Should j
the title be won in four games straight
or even In a five game series, the gate
receipts would necessarily he smaller.
ITnder the rules of the National
Commission the gross gate receipts
are divided in the following manner
The National Commission receives 10
per cent of the receipts of every game
played; of the remaining 90 per cent
the players receive 60 per cent for
the first four games and the club own
ers 40 per cent. After four games
have been contested the players cease
to participate In the financial rewards
and the magnates take the entire gate
less the 10 per cent paid to the com
mission.
