not much for the stockholders
of a winning club-that is. not more
than dividends ranging from 900 to
1000 per cent each year. That's all
And as far as the ball player is
cOncerned-well, there isn't much IN
1t for him; not more than 100000 or
$200,0 900 that he can run up into a
million in a few years by careful in

when they see it and who gladly slip
tips to star ball players.
The National Exhibition Company
is the corporate name of the New

the laws Of New Jersey, which laws
do not compel a corporation to pub

garnered each year by the Giants are
a matter of speculation.
But those on the inside of baseball
declare that the Giants for the past
three years, including the world Sc

that the club has paid dividends each
year of $4,000 on every 500 invested.
THE Chicago Cubs, next to the

the biggest money makers in the old
league. According to Charles Webb
Murphy denoted prexy OF the outfit

that Murphy alone CLEANED up" an

Murphy got nearly $4,000 for every
800 share of stock he had In the
Cubs-showing that his stock had in

thing like seven years.
The Boston Red Sox in 1912-when
they won the worlds championship
are said to have cleared nearly $780,
600. The Cleveland Maps last year,
although they finished third and were
practically out Of the pennant race
during the last six months, cleared
about $150,000. according to reports.
The Athletics In 1910, 1911 and 1918
are said to have cleared over $1,000
