CHANCE is WEALTHY.
CHICAGO Leader is One of the Richest
Men in Baseball.

Nobody knows what Frank Chance
draws as manager Of the Chicago Cubs.
but President Murphy has stated for
publication that he gets more money
than any other player ever did in the
big leagues. and that means in the
country.
His salary as a player is large. for
he is one of the stars of the game.
Added to that is his salary as manager
of the club. and besides this are the
dividends he receives for the 100 shares
of stock he holds in the club. presented
to him by Charles T. Taft when the
club was originally purchased from
James \. Hart.
Frank Chance doesn't have to work
during the winter for Il living. His
parents .wor" wealthy his father nav
ing been Il banker at Fresno, Cal. and
at his death he left Frank something
over $2h.00n to begin life with. Chance
is liberal spirited, but never is waste
full and the result is that today he IS
one Of the wealthieSt ball players in
the country. He is stakeholder in a
number Of large corporations in this
