The net receipts [of the World Series], or the money left after the expenses of travel and hotels have been defrayed, will be divided between the management of the two clubs, the winner taking seventy-five per cent. and the loser twenty-five per cent., less the percentage which goes to the managers of the grounds on which the games are played. … Apart from the special arrangements made between Mr. Sterns and the Detroit players for the remuneration of the latter, the two presidents will deposit $600 each, and the total $1,200 will be given to the club winning the series, to be divided equally among them.
