The Polo Grounds have been
put in shape to accommodate nearly <j
59,000 spectators, while Fenway
Park, the new home of the Bostofi
Americans, will take care of at least
40,000 and probably more. As the
priceB are more than doubled at these
games, the receipts for the pott-sea- j
son this year should greatly exceed
those of any like series fn the past. 's
and the winning players are pretty
sure of making a rake-off of from
$2,500 to $3,000 each. If the series
should go to the limit the profits of -1
the club owners should be enorm0UB.

As to what the series wtll bring
forth l M partisan fans have been
up to a high pitch trying to convince
Iheroaelrwe and others why their
Tavorite team cannot lose. In view
of the fact that tbe Giants are veterans.
even when it comese to contesting
for the world's flag, while tbe
Boston Red Sox might almost be
termed novices in comparison, it 1s
?omewhat surprising that so many
newspaper critics and others well
rersed in tbe national game should
pick the Hub players to win. Tbe
iverage New Yorker, of course, can
?ee nothing to it but McGraw's team,
but It is a noticeable and significant
lact that around the Broadway hotels
and other places where sporting
men congregate tber^appears to be
1 ready taker for every bet offered
>n the Giants. Whichever way tbe
series goes, there is already one
;hing that seems certain, and that is
that a larger amount of money will
hange hands cm tbe result than has
fvei been the case before.
