BIG BASEBALL DEAL
New Owners of Philadelphia Nation

New Owners OF Philadelphia Nation
ais Consider Team Worth $3.50 900
Philadelphia, Nov. 28.-The big
gest deal in the baseball history of
1909 was consummated in the an
nouncement that the franchise of the
Philadelphia National league team had
changed hands and that the new own
ers of the club had purchased the re-
lease of John King from President
Murphy of the Chicago Cubs for SIS. :
900.
In spite of denials by Murphy, it is
pretty generally believed here that a
part of the $3.50, 900, the price paid
for the club, comes from his own
bank account or that of Charles P.
Taft of Cincinnati, a brother of
President Taft, and the reported
chief owner of the Chicago National
league franchise.
