A new record for world scries receipts was made today when the grand total to date reached 5804,781. This is $82,367 more than the previ- . ous high mark in the series between the Cincinnati Na tionals and the Chicago Am ericans in 1919. Should the Yankees win tomorrow's same and force the series Into the ninth and .final game, the total receipts undoubtedly will pass the the million dollar mark. As tho receipts stand, tonight, th3 total for tho eoven games Is almost 12 times the eggre gate total receipts in the 1915 series between the Gi ants and Philadelphia Ath letics, the first series played under the rules of the old National commission. Another capacity crowd witnessed today's game. The official attendance was giyen as 36,503 and the gate re ceipts as $118,974. Of this sum the advisory board, which succeeded the national commission appro priates 15 per cent, or $17, 846.10 while the balance goes to the club owners. The attendance and gate receipts fell a trifle short of Friday's record for the series, there being six paid admissions less and a difference of $33. the board having attracted 36,503 spectators who paid $119,007 to see the Giants score their initial victory over the Yankees.
