them To more than double their for

SEVERAL other facts must be
- taken into consideration in com
putting how much better the Cubs are
likely to be as an investment in fu-'
ture. 1t must be remembered that
Charles w. Murphy. the last owner Of
the club. was immensely unpopular in
Chicago. so much SO that the fans at
times even circulated boycott petit
tions against his club. Yet they did
collect large portions of coin of the
realm, at that. What, then will be
the result il popular administration
should get in?
Probably no other club in baseball
has had such a distinguished line of
presidents as the Chicago Nationals
this remark, of course, doesn't include

clubs life, IT was charter member
of the National League in 1876, with
William A. Hubert as president Nor

Senator from Connecticut was the
original president of the league. When
he retired in the following year 1877,
Hubert became head of the circuit,
serving rs president both of league
and Of club until he died in 1881.
That is the only case in history where
a club president also has headed the
league Then. in 1882, A. G. Spalding,
whose name is known to every fan,
became president of hte Cubs. He
continued in office until 1892, when
James A. Hart came I'm as president,

Murphy, who used money borrowed
from G. p Taft, in 1906. and the lat

ceks ago he was forced to sell
back to Taft the stock he had bought
from Taft gradually With his annual
earnings This makes only four club
presidents for the Chicago Nation
ais in 3S years, an average tenure Of
office of over nine years The club
now is without an official head, or
president, though Taft owns big
controlling interest.
TT can not be stated with absolute
Z certainty just how much stock Taft
bought back from Murphy recently,
but il is said by reliable persons that
80 shares were involved in the trans
action, at "a price Of $4,000 share,
