Piereman is the urn YIELDS $424,737 Winners' Share $178,389 And That Of Losers $118,926, Seventy Per Cent Of Total $31,855 TO OTHERS (By The Associated Press) New York, Oct. 4. The Giants and Yankees, together with players on other first division clubs in the two major leagues, will participate this year in the biggest world series financial "melon" on record. The aggregate players' pool, derived from receipts of the first four world series games only, amounts to $424,737.18, surpassing the previous high total of $149,736.60, set in 1328 when the Yankees beat the Cardinals. Seventy per cent of this total or $297,315.94 will be split on a 60-40 basis to the winning and losing club In the world series, with the winners' end figur to $178,389.56 and the losers' share amounting to Thus the Yankees, with the equivalent of 30 full shares to be distrib uted, will collect $5,946.31 each from the pool if they go on to victory.

Should they be on the losing end, each Yankee "cut" would amount to $3,964.21. The Giants, with only 27 full shares to be awarded, plus the equivalent of a half-share In awards to several club employes, would col lect $6,493.02 each for pulling the next three games out of the fire an achievement the Pittsburgh Pirates pulled against the Washington Senators in 1925. Each losing share, for the National leaguers, figures at $4,290.68. This estimated distribution does not take into account the share of $100,000 radio money to be divided among the players. The "cut" for the players in this sum, however, connot be determined definitely until the series is concluded It is to be pro-rated according to the ratio of the players' pool to the total series receipts.

The Individual player shares for last year's series winners, the Detroit Tigers, were the biggest on record, amounting to $6,544.76 each. The biggest losers' share, in any previous series, was $4,244.60, for the Chicago Cubs in 1932. The remaining 30 per cent, or $127,421.24, of the players' pool will be distributed among the other first division clubs. The division calls for fifty per cent to the second place teams, 33 1-3 per cent to the third place outfits, and 16 2-3 per cent to the fourth place clubs. On this basis, the Detroit Tigers, runners-up in the American league, will get $31,855.31 to be split up as they specify.

The Chicago Cubs and the St. Louis Cardinals, who tied for second place in the National league, get $26,546.09 each. Third place money for the Chicago White Sox amounts to $21,236.87. The fourth place teams. Pittsburgh and Washington, get $10,618.44 each.

They have now captured 15 of their last 16 contests in title play, over a stretch of ten seasons, includ ing four each against the Pirates in 1927, the Cardinals in 1928 and the Cubs in 1932. The Yankees will send their burly right-hander, Red Ruffing, after the clinching game at the Stadium tomorrow while the Giants will pin their fluttering chances on the right-handed "sinker" ball delivery of Hal Schumacher. Both were beaten in their first tsarts. Ruffing lost to Hubbell in the opener. Schumacher was routed in the second game as the tering attack.

Unless Schumacher has recovered his control, however, the Giants' bullpen likely will have another busy day. The all-New York battle assumed record-breaking proportions today from the money angle as well as from the standpoint of attendance. Today's crowd, including sevearl thousand standees, battered the high mark of 64,842 in paid attendance, set yesterday. The total receipts of $240,591 surpassed the one-day record of $235,108. Total Receipts $832,818 The aggregate for the first four games, as well as the players' pool, also set new world series records.

This surpasses the previous high of set when the Yankees took four straight from the Pirates in 1927. The aggregate "cut" to be split by the players of the contending olules, as well as by the second, third and fourth place outfits in each major league, soared to $424,737.18 with today's record gathering.

This wipes out the previous mark of $419,736.60 established when the Yankee steamroller of 1928 flattened the Cardinals. With their eyes on the "big end" of the world series money, the Yankees lost no time turning the tables on their erstwhile conqueror. An error by Travis Jackson on Jake Powell's hopper, in the second inning, paved the way for the first Yankee run, brought home on an infield out and George Selkirk's single to left through the infield. This was a bad "break" for the master of the screwball but he was slammed hard and solidly in the next frame. Started By Crosetti The lead-off man of the Yankees and bright star of the famous Italian triumvirate, Frankie Crosetti, doubled to right as the tumult and roar of the third inning began.

Rolfe poked a single through the infield, scoring the shortstop. Joe DiMaggio fouled out but Hubbell suddenly lost his usual calm and control while pitching to Gehrig. With the count two and one, Hubbell let loose a low-breaking screwball that squirted past Mancuso. The wild pitch enabled Rolfe to run all the way to third. There ensued a long conference in the box between Hubbell and Manager Bill Terry.

It appeared Gehrig would be walked but it developed afterward that all Terry said, in effect, was "Don't give hicn anything fit to hit" Opinions differed on just what Hubbell pitched, in the crisis, but there was no doubt as to what Gehrig did with the ball. Whether it was a "hook" as Gehrig said, or whether it was simply a high fast ball, the result was the same. The Yankee captain took a full swing, caught the pitch solidly and smashed it half-way up among the $1.10 customers in the open right-field stands. Gehrig's Ninth Series Homer It was Gehrig's second home run of the series, his ninth in world cham pionship competition, and it was the ball game. The Yankees didn't score again off Hubbell, although they threatened in the seventh when Pear son doubles and Crosetti singled.

The southpaw pitched himself out of this hole by retiring Rolfe on a pop fly and forcing DiMaggio to ground into a double play. The fifth and final Yankee run was manufactured off the relief pitching of Frank Gabler, in the eighth, when' Gehrig doubled down the right field foul line, went to third on an infield out and scored on Powell's single. Meantime the erstwhile invalid, Pearson, dazzled the Giants with his curves and a fast ball that had most of the National leaguers popping harmlessly into the balmy air. Monte, pitching his first game in two weeks, didn't show the slightest trace of his recent ailment. He scattered the seven Giant safeties and fanned seven bats men, including Manager Terry twice, In five of the nine frames the first man up for the Giants got on.

In the fourth and eighth, the first two bats men reached base but the best the National leaguers could do was push across one run on each of these prom ising occasions. Otherwise they lacked anything resembling a clean-up wallop, failed to produce a single extra-base hit, and looked very feeble indeed at the plate. Pearson held the two big threats of the Giants, Terry and Mel Ott, hitless in their combined eight appearances at the plate. That was the payoff, for both had chances to do damage in the scoring innings. Giants' First Score Aiter finding it fruitless in the first two frames to try stealing second base, with Bill Dickey's throwing arm in accurate form, the Giants finally broke into the scoring column in the fourth.

Dick Bartell led off with a single. Terry walked but Ott hit into a force play at second base. Bartell ran to third and trotted home on Jimmy Ripple's single through the infield to left. Gus Mancuso forced Ripple on a harmless roller to Tony Lazzeri and Burgess Whitehead popped to Crosetti. Pearson yielded only one base hit, Jackson's single, in the next three in nings but the Giants' rooters jumped yelling to their feet in the eighth when Sambo Leslie, pinch-hitting for Hubbell, poked a single to left-center, and Joe Moore broke out of his batting slump by drilling a basehit down the left field line.

George Davis ran for Leslie. The big end of the batting order was coming up and there was a quick consultation of Yankee inifleld-ers around Pearson. Monte's back began to ache, it developed later, but the right-hander still had all the stuff he needed to keep the Giants from getting out of hand. Rally Soons Ends Bartell, after missing a pretty bunt by inches along the third base line, grounded sharply to Lazzeri. Pearson came over to take the ball for the putout, on a pretty play, but the Giants now had runners on third and second.

Davis scored and Moore ran to third as Lazzeri threw out Terry but the rally ended abruptly when Rolfe picked up Ott's easy grounder and and (By The Associated Prens) Chicago, Oct. 4. Backing up Bill Dietrich's six-hit pitching with a seventeen-hit attack on five hurlers, Chicago's scrappy White Sox won their third straight city championship today by trouncing the Chicago Cubs 8 to 2 for a four-game sweep of the 1936 event. A throng of 33,906 fans watched the Jimmy Dykes crew take its ninth straight victory over their National league rivals in city series competition. In 1931 the Sox won the title in the seventh game and in 19SJ they won four They took the first three games of this series to 1, 11 to 3 and 4 to 2.
