So Declares Chicago Writer,
Who Asserts Chubby" Is Still
Power In Baseball
HAS CLAIM ON BOTH
CUBS AND PHILLIES
"Murph" Said To Control Sites
In Both Cities-Seems To Be
Magnates' Banker
BY w. s. FoRMAN.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2S.-President Ten
er OF the National league has givel
out a statement In which he declared
that Charles w. Murphy really is "oui
of baseball"
Mr.. Tener intimated that in discuss.
Ing baseball affairs for publication, Mr..
Murphy is imposing on the newspa-
pers, assuming an authority which he
does not possess.
At the very moment Mr.. Tener
was making these statements,
there reposed in Charles w. Muir
phys strong box In Chicago the
majority stock OF the two base
ball teams-one fourth OF the en-
tire league presided over by Mr..
Tener.
Just TO demonstrate concluslvely
how far Mr.. Murphy is out OF baseball
at present, here is what he has locked
up in his safe In this city
ID The majority stock Of the
Philadelphia National league club,
which is in his hands as security
for 100000 owed by the club TO
Mr.. Murphy. The next payment on
this loan is due in January. II is
fair to assume that IL Mr.. Murphy
fails TO collect his money he Will
foreclose and take possession OF
the Philadelphia club.
90 The controlling stock Of
the Chicago Cubs. placed in his
hands as collateral when Charles
Taft took over Murphy's stock
In the club, This stock is security
for large indebtedness, and as
in the case previously cited. II 10
fair TO assume that unless Mr..
Taft meets his payments prompt
ly Mr.. Murphy will foreclose and
take possession OF the Chicago
Cubs.
For a man who Is "out OF baseball
Mr. Murphy seems TO be. nearly as &C.
tive in the sport as some men who are
known to be definitely, not TO say deep.
~. in" the game. Here is a dispatch
that came through from Philadelphia
yesterday:
There. was recorded last Mon
day In the Office Of the recorder OF
deeds OF transfer by Anna Sinton
Taft to Charles w. Murphy, OF
Chicago. OF one-half of the undi-
vided parcel OF real estate on
which is located the ball field OF
lub ANaiAOhai
club. II is understood that the
club has an option for the pur-
chase OF this ground AT price OF
100000.
So, In spite OF President Tener's
statement Saturday, Mr.. Murphy is
power in the National league
through the fact that he controls the
sites On which two OF the clubs play
ball, holds the mapority stock Of those
two clubs as security for a large
Indebtedness and stands so high in
the esteem OF the owner OF at least
one OF these teams that the club Will
make move or no kind without con
sulting Charles w. Murphy, OF Chi
cago.
Incidentally, Mr.. Tener president OF
the National league and the man who
says Murphy is "out OF baseball" is a
stakeholder in the Philadelphia club!
