The reason for the slight decrease from a year ago is that Pirate players voted more than $64.000 in partial shares and cash awards to others involved in helping them beat Baltimore in a thrilling seven-game series. Each losing Oriole will get $13,906.46. Baseball Commissioner Bowie Kuhn announced Monday that the total purse from the series amounted to a record more than last vear.
