HARRIS PAYS BIG PRICE.
New Stakeholder of Pittsburg Club
Secures Shares Held bv Moore.

PITTSBURG, December 23.-In order to
buy into the Pittsburg club, John p.
Harris who was publicly announced as
part owner of the former champions, was
required to pay $500 per share for his
stock. or just four times its face value
Alex. P. Moore. owner and editor of a
Pittsburg paper and former director Of
the Pittsburg club admitted that it was
he who had sold his holdings to Harris
through a third party.
Moore and the majority stockholders of
the club have not been friendly for some
years. and much embarrassment resulted
This has been eliminated by the taking
oyer of the stock by Harris, who will
become a director of the club, filling the
place once occupied by Moore. but which
has not been filled by the editor for some
years. The holdings of Harris will be
small. since Moore had only twenty five
shares of stock.
The Pittsburg base ball clubs stock has
been considered among the best i'm the
country. In the year preceding the win
ming of the last pennant by Pittsburg the
clear profits to holders of stock exceeded
20 per cent. Later Forbes Field was
taken on and immediate profits were not
so great though more than 500 600 was
cleared in 1899, when the worlds cham
pionShip was won. Last seasons profits
were not great.
1t is learned that Harris took an option
on the Moore stock more than six weeks
ago. while he was still chief owner of
the Boston club

the bidders that the point would not be
brought up by the government. but the

speak for the labor interests. In the event
the unions raise the question, 1t will be q
matter for judicial determination.
The lowest bidder for the New York
