are now owned by 144 stock
holders.
The San Francisco attorney ap

Piece of World Series Pie
Goes to All Top Players
new YORK UP — The World
Series jackpot has been cut up,
and quite a jackpot it was. Record
payoffs went to both the winning
Los Angeles Dodgers and losing
New York Yankees. Each Dodger
share of the World Series receipts
was worth $12,794. Each Yankee
share came to $7,884.
The payoffs were announced in
New York by Baseball Commis
sioner Ford Frick. The commis
sioner said that, in addition to the
record payoffs, the series produced
the first million dollar pool for the
players, and the gate receipts were
a record for a four game senes.
That figure was $1,995,189. Of this
amount, more than $222,000 went
for taxes — city, state and federal.
Other first division teams in
both leagues also benefited by the
million dollar player pool. Players
on the second place teams, the
Cardinals and White Sox, each
received about $2,200. Those of the
third place Giants and Twins each
received about $1,400.
Each member of the fourth place

In Colonial days, rough waters often
capsized the double "canoes" or dug
outs in which tobacco leaf was shipped.
But the roads were even rougher.
Pirates and Indians were among the
hazards to the Mississippi barges and
keelboafs of the late 1700’s. Tough
crews guarded tobacco cargoes with
rifles and cannon.
Today, tobacco is back on
the roads. Trailer trucks
carry as many as twenty
1,000-pound hogsheads
to storage sheds and fac
tories. Most finished prod
ucts also are shipped to
market by truck.
