eTlng an offer TO manage the Brooklyn
Federal league club.
There is little question but that Stahl
would have accepted the job had it not
been for the car. Johnson is reported
IS saying that If StahI cast his lot with
the Feds he would attack him and have
things to say that would not be pleas
ing to the ears of the athletes. Immedi-
ately following this, StahI announced
that he would not accept the Brooklyn
offer, but would stick to the banking
business in Chicago.
We do not know just what Johnson
would have said, but the expectation of
an outburst from the pOrtly pilot of the
American league was sufficient to keep
the opposition from signing a capable
leader, which is evidence enough of the
power Of the individual who drove c..
Webb Murphy out of baseball.
Walker shows Well.
Title Walker, former gardener for
the Blues, appears to be up to his old
tricks this spring. Clarence was one
of the first to go to the Browns south

he got six blows out of nine times at

all these men we have read
about recently as bidding 10 buy
the Chicago Cubs from Charles P. Taft
or Cincinnati are going into what is to
them a blind proposition. It is known
that one Of the bidders admitted he
was taking simply a gamblers chance,
not knowing really what he was buy
ing or what the history OF the Cubs
was as a business enterprise
The figures on the Cubs profits OF
last season are not available, but 1t can
be stated with absolute authority that
the average earning Of the Cubs in the
previous seven years was $4,000 Most
close students Of the financial end Of
baseball rate the CUBS total value at
S1,00O,0O0 which would make the an
nual net clearings Of the years men
toned eight and half percent. This
may seem like q tremendous return on
an investment, but when the various
risks of baseball are taken into con-
sideratiOn, it is just about the proper
interest on the money.
The information as to these figures
comes from Harry Ackerland Of Pitts
burg, minority stockhOlder in the club,
who purchased Frank Chances ten
shares of stock when the latter was
taken from the managership Of the
team a year ago this winter Chance
sold to Ackerland for $4,000, OF at the
basis Of only $4,000 a share-there are
average value Of one share is assessed
at $4,000. Chance told Ackerland or
his experience in a money way with
the club Altogether, in the eight years
he led the club, he collected total Of
S6S,O00 as dividends from his stock,
aside from the salary he received from
the club.
ChHnce's Earnings S6S,OOO.
Chances total earnings on ten per
cent being S6S,OOO. the total earnings
OF the club were $3.50. 600 in those eight
years. This is an average of $4,000
year. But it must be remembered that
the bulk Of this was collected in the
latter half Of the period, that the game
had become a bigger money proposition
and is still growing in a general way
all over the country. Still another I'm
portant fact is that. when the Cubs
played in the worlds series of 1906,
1907 and 1908, they had only a small
grandstand that would not hold within
10 600 OF what the new one will &C
commodate. The 1906 series was a big
ger money proposition than either of
the two that followed Immediately, but
reasOns-this series went to a tie and
then to an extra game and the White
SOX were the opponents, so that a
tremendous amount Of local rivalry en-
tered into the situation. The two
clubs split up s62, 1880 then. In 1907
and 1903 the receipts also were kept
low by the fact that Detroit was the
opposing club and the Tigers had a
very small park which, though damned
to the guards, would not admit of any
record breaking attendance figures. IN
1907 the two clubs split $36,622.26; in
1903, S39,363.O3. Compare these figures
