Since 1905 fourteen series have drawn about 1.9 million spectators and $3.43 million in receipts, with owners, leagues, and players sharing about $3.17 million overall. The piece notes per-game attendance around 25,060 and estimates player earnings over the period.
About 700 players have shared in the world series pool in past seasons with winners typically receiving 69 percent and losers 40 percent. Roughly 330 players have earned about 2360 dollars as winners and an equal number 1500 dollars as losers. The national commission's average per game is about 4380 dollars. A possible new record in gate receipts may occur in the present nine game series, though players' shares may not beat the 1922 record due to a 25 percent pool deduction for the fifth game receipts. Club owners also face higher distribution, sharing half of their receipts with clubs that traded them in 1919 pennant races.
