NEW YORK, Oct. 12.
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.
