Scries Will Be Between Two Worn, Tired Teams, and May Drag Out to Fuif Limit of Seven Games; How Classic Has Grown. By RALPI1 DAVIS. HE CURTAIN goes down today on the major league baseball season of 1928, but the world series remains to be disposed of during the next 10 days. WILL IT be another million-dollar series? THERE HAVE already been four of them battles be tween the two pennant winners which attracted more than a million dollars of the fans' money at the gate. LAST YEAR was an exception, only because the Yankees won out over the Pirates in straight games.

HAD THE series of 1927 lasted six or seven games, the chances are that a new record would have been set. As it was, the four games drew $783,217, an average of $195,804. MULTIPLY THAT average by seven, and it gives a total of $1,370,628. That tHySg? signalized by increased activity I 1. Vl' gg i the gymnasium of the Downtown I k' i ipW Ak Branch Y.

The players' pot that year mounted to $368,783.04, more than 30,000 undr the pool of 1327, end yet earn of the players got larger shares than did those of last year. THAT 13 accounted for by the fact that the spoils wpre not split so manv ways. The Yanks each received a check for $6,143.43. and each of the Giants was rewarded with a check for $4,112.89.

THAT IS the only time that n. winning player has received more than $6,000, and a losing player more than $4,000. I MILLION-DOLLAR SERIES. I IN 1924, when the New York Giants played the Washington Ameri- cans, the series went seven games, the Senators winning four i of them.

Chuck Wiggins, Indianapolis heavyweight, and Garfield Johnson, local Negro, who suffered his only setback at the hands of the slashing Maxie Rosenbloom, will be the principals in the feature number of a five-bout card that has been builb from the best available material, according to John L.

Hernon, Garden manager and matchmaker. Wiggins, with 12 j-ears of the fight game behind him. boasts a record that rivals that of the late Harry Greb, in that he has fought virtually every good man of the ring. He is hailed in the fight world as hopping, slashing fighter of the Greb type, always active and never letting up on an opponent even though the tide of battle may be going against him. His record includes a number of fights with Gene Tunney, for whom he acted in recent years as chief sparring partner, preparing Tunney for both his battles with Jack Demp-sey and also for the bout with Heeney.

He fought Harry Greb eight times and was always looked upon by Greb as his hardest opponent. Wiggins has never fought in Pittsburgh, but be has hosts of friends here who have followed his career for the past several years. He is tin only fighter boasting a knockout over Johnny Risko. A CLASSY CARD. The other bouts are: First bout, four rounds Tony Ar-zara of East Liberty vs.

Frankie Lana of Sharpsburg. Weight 126 pound3. Azzara, a Green Cab driver, hai fought once before at the Garden, last year winning. Lanz is making his professional appearance, he has been fighting amateur for three years, attached to the Willow club. Second bout, four rounds Georgia Peck of the North Side vs.

Tom Har ris of Lawrenceville. Weight 148. Neither boy has appeared at the Garden before. Peck has been fight ing about a year and Harris had four professional fights. Third bout, six rounds Joe Lau der of the South Hills vs.

Leo Ky-bursky of Swissvale. Weight 149. Lauder is former Pennsylvania railroad champion and has made a good impression on the fight fans in the few professional bouts he has fought. He met Kybursky at Duquesne about a month ago and lost the decision. He asked for a return match to even things.

Kybursky is a wild swinging fighter and has been labeled the Swissvale wild man of the ring. Semi-final, six rounds Tony La- rose of Cincinnati vs. Bobby Richardson of Johnstown. Weight 152. Larose is the Italian champion of Cincinnati and recently was.

awarded a decision over Larry Brignolia of Erie. He defeated Jack Katkisch in 12 rounds at Marietta two months ago. It will be his first appearance here. Richardson recently knocked out Linn Jordan at Johnstown and fought Rudy Cedar a great battle in Johnstown a month ago.

The. contenders that year were the. New York Giants and the Boston Redsox, and the series went eight games, a tie contest figuring it.

THAT WAS also the first year; that the receipts went over the 1 mark, the intake being and the attendance 252.037. The winning players each received $4,024.68, that being the first time their checks had ever amounted to more than $3,654. THE ATTENDANCE record set in 1912 was not broken until 1921, when the series between the Giants and the Yankees attracted a total of 269.976 to eight games. THAT YEAR the moguls decided try lengthening the series to nine games, with five wins necessary for championship. The plan was not popular, the fans arguing that it i smacked even more of commercial- ism iimn mat naa pre- i a world series al their own.

I THAT MARK was not beaten until 1326. when the Yankee-Cardinal seven-same engagement attracted a 'total throng of 328.051. I can league game between the Yan- bees and the Athletics.

IT IS AN indication ot what may be expected of baseball crowds when incentive is great enougn. MAY CO SEVEN GAMES, HPHE SERIES which starts on Thursday is by no means like-' lv ,0 DP decided in four games, If is extraordinary for any club to i takp 101jr straight from another, and is not to be expected often. WHEN two teams win the championship in their respective leagues, they are always highclass aggregations, and for another club to beat either nf them four times running is more than any reasonable fan should expect. IT HAS been accomplished very srlrinm. Last fall it came about be-cause the Yankees were fresh as daisies and the Pirates were worn to frazzle after the hectic cam-paian through which they had come.

THIS FALL both teams have been through mad chases for the bunting. Neither will have an advantage that respect. They both stag- unuun iu incii league yic- miershipi and it hardly be sur. prising if they should stagger through the autumnal classic. THE RIVAL pitching staffs have been under a terrific strain, and neither of them will be at its best.

The veteran members have found the strain terrific, and it is upon the veterans that managers place most of their dependence in important crises like a world series. UNDER THE circumstances, it need occasion no surprise if the full limit of seven games is needed this year to decide the question of the world premiership. OF COURSE, on the other hand, there is the possibility that one club will rise to the heights, as the Yankees did last fall, and that the other will fail to come anywhere near its standard. But that possibility is small, considering what both of them have been through. IT MAY be that the coming series win be marked by more fielding foozles and fewer spectacular bits of work than most series of the pas' IT IS a pity that both teams go into me series iresn ana.

sui mat cannot De, ana the team which shows the most stamina will be the winner. Spencers Ruled. For six consecutive years, Arthur and Willie Spencer, brothers, and Freddy Spencer, who is no relation to them, kept the bicycle sprinting championship among them.

With the Westminster game erased from the football calendar, Carnegie Tech will turn its attention to the contest with Ashland college, of Ashland, Saturday at Forbes Field in its opening home battle of the season. Gridiron followers as well as students who were unable to make the trip to Youngstown to size up the 1928 Tartan machine will be afforded an opportunity when it engages the Ohioans. It is likely that the Plaid coaches will spend a major portion of the coming week correcting the mistakes which occurred in the Westminster tussle. Although the Skibo tutors consider the games with Ashland and Thiel frankly as practice games, they are naturally looking ahead to the games against Pitt.

It Ls also likely that some re-casting of players is slated before the Tartans take the field in their next game. The loss of Saul Mielziner, regular center, made necessary some unforeseen changes in the line and the coaches were frankly worried before the Westminster game whether some of the changes would work out to the team's advantage. According to word from the Ohio city, Ashland views the Carnegie encounter as one of the high spots on its schedule. The Ohioans coming here for the first time, feel it is their duty to make an impressive showing. Ashland boasts one of the best teams in the history of the school.

It is the first big game on Ashland's schedule and they want to make the best of it. IN PECULIAR POSITION. The memory of what little Center college did under Uncle Charley Mo-ran is spurring on the young valiant of Ashland. Ashland hold a peculiar position in Ohio football. It is next to impossible to book games with the same size student body.

Ashland is not the Ohio conference, and conference schools with nearly the same enrollment as Ashland refuse to meet the Purple on the gridiron. Too tough, is the reason. It has only been within the. past few years that Ashland came forward in athletics. At one time, the little Ashland teams were "door mats" for other teams in Ohio.

Ashland's advance has been rapid and within the past three years its teams have been the best non-conference outfits in Ohio. For seven years Ashland provided Wooster with the opening game. This season will be the last. After Ashland's opening game with Slippery Rock, L. C.

Boles, Wooster coach, announced that gridiron relations would end. Boles said, Ashland has grown too strong to provide an easy opener for Wooster. Fred C. Schmuck, a graduate of Ashland, is director of athletics and football coach. He has guided the destinies of the Purple for the past two years.

A J. to Baker, AND LIKEWISE, a new attendance record will probably be estab lished if seven games are played. The fans are keyed up as they have seldom been before. THEIR INTEREST has had no chance to lag, for the teams in both leagues which have been contending for the honor of representing their organizations in the annual classic have been battling right down to the wire. i THERE HAVE been races rust as close in one of the Ira cues the past, hut never have both of them, presented such a spectacle of in- tense fighting and nerve-straining closeness as has been offered the fan? this vrar.

THE BANNER attendance at a world series was recorded in 1926, when the Cardinals and the Yankees played before a total of 328,51, or an a vera re of THOSE ARE Iarse figures, but thev are not unbeatable, with the present-day stadiums "stretched'' to the. utmost to let in all the fans who want to see these all-important games. BIG AVERAGE IN 192T. LAST YEAR'S total attendance at the four games between the Pirates and the Yankees was 201,705, or an average of 50,341, or more than 10.000 that of 1926. Der ame above' per t.ame aooe IF THE Buccos could have extended the Yanks last fall and forced the series to the limit, and had the average of the first four games been maintained, the total for the series would have been more than 352.000.

EVERY SEASON, when the hot midsummer days come and interest lags for a time in the diamond struggles, pessimists arise to tell us that baseball enthusiasm is not what it used to be. BUT THEY are all wrong. That is shown by the monster throngs that jam the world series fields, and the huge amount of money they spend to gratify their desires to witness the struggles. THE GROWTH oi the world series has been spectacular in the extreme. The first authorized series under the supervision of the national commission was played in 1905, between the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Athletics.

IT ENDED in the Giants' favor in five games, Christy Mathewson being the bright and shining star of the classic. The total attendance was 91,723, and the gross receipts were only $63,435. The players' pool amounted to $27,394,20, of which each Giant received $1,142 and each Mackman drew down $832. THOSE figures all represented big money in their day. In 1906 was staged the first series in which two clubs in the same city figured.

It will be recalled that the Chicago Whitesox, known as the "hitless wonders," sprang a real surprise by trimming the Cubs hat 'all in six games. THE TOTAL attendance was just 155 shy of 100.000. and the total re-reipts amounted to $106,550. It was not until 1909. when the Pirates downed the Detroit Tigers in seven games, that the attendance passed ffce 100.000 mark, it being 145.296 that falL FIRST QUARTER.
