MAN
is T STOCK
OF CUBS

Pittsburg. Oct. 3O.-It is no alto.
gether unlikely that Harry Ackerland,
the wealthy Pittsburger. who recently
acquired Frank Chances holdings in
III Chicago baseball club. will soon
take over President Charles w. MUIR
phys stock and become sole owne of
the Cubs. Mr.. Ackerland admitted
that he was in a receptive mood and
would buy Murphy's holdings if he
can get them at his figure.
From Chicago came the story that
Ackerland was dickering with Murphy
and had obtained an option on Muir
phys interests and that he would soon
take over enough of the stock to give
him controlling interest. And fur.
Their that he would retain Frank
chance as manager of the team.
Said Mr.. Ackerland: The Chicago
story is not altogether straight. 1t is
true that have purchased Chances
stock. and 1t is also true that 1 will buy.
Murphy's stock If I am able to get it
at a reasonable figure. But as We /
have not obtained an option on it.
IF Murphy will set a price for n
ten-day or tifteen-day option on his
stock. ! will pay that price-if it is
within reason. I will not have the
slightest difficulty in swinging the deal
II Mr.. Murphy and l can come to an
agreement"
A strong report is in circulation
here that Barney Dreyfuss and the
Fleischmanns of Cincinnati are be.
hind Ackerland in his attempt to Sc
cure control of the Chicago team.
Ackerland refused to either affirm or
deny the story. Dreyfuss says II is not
true.

A CHANCE TO BUY
WOOD

Washington. Oct. 30.-Where would
the Washington team he today. with
Walter johnson and Joe Wood. the
greatest two pitchers in the game.
both working on Grifith's pitching
staff? .
1t was fate. or rather fate in the
disguise Of poor business ability, that
prevented these two twirling stars
from being teammates on the WASH
ington club.
In the spring Of 1908 the Nationals
played an exhibition game in Kansas
City and Joe Cantillon watched a
young pitcher strike out seven of the
nine batsmen that faced him in the
last three innings. The name of this
young player was Joe Wood. Cantil-
Ion made arrangements to secure
Wood right then and there. The Wash
ington manager was given to UNDER
stand that when the time came to dis
pose Of Wood the National club would
he given first chance.
Cantillon allowed the prospective
deal to go at that and during the sum
lner Boston purchased Wood without
Cantillon ever being consulted or given
Il chance to hid for Wood.
With Wood and johnson on the
pitching staff. the Washington club.
with it's present field and batting
strength. would probably have won
the penrlant.

The backs might, or might not, shift
