NEW YORK, March 10.--Practi-
cally all these men we have
read about recently as bidding
TO buy the Chicago Cubs from Charles
p. Taft, of Cincinnati. are going into
what is TO them blind proposition
II is known that one of the bidders
admitted he was taking simply a
gamblers chance. not knowing really
what he was buying or what the his
tory OF the Cubs was as a business
enterprise.
The figures on the Cubs profits oi
last season are not available. but il
can be stated with absolute authority
that the average earning of the cubs
IN the previous seven years was SS5,
900. Most close students Of the fihan
cial end of baseball rate the Cubs to-
tsl value at a million dollars. which
would make the annual net clearings
uf the years mentioned s IL per cent.
This may seem like a tremendous re
turn on an investment, but when the
various risks of baseball are taken
into consideration 1t is Just about the
proper interest on the money.
The information as TO these figures
comes from Harry ACkerlaud. OF
Pittsburg, minority stockholder in the
club, who purchased Frank Chance S
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 5000,
or at the ba sis Of only 81 900 q share
there are 100 shares altogether-al-
though the average value Of one share
now Is assessed at 10000 Chance
told Ackerland of his experiment in "A
money way with the club. Altogether,
in the eight years he led the club, he
collected 4 total Of SOS, 900 as diVi-
bends from his stock, aside from the
salary he received from the club.
CHANCES total earnings on 10 per
- cent being $6S,000, the total earn l.
ings OF the club were $3.50. 900 in those
eight years. This is an average OF
ss5 900 year But il must be re-
membered that the bulk OF this was
collected in the latter half Of the pc
riod, that the game had become big
ger money proposition. and Is stiI
growing in a general way all over
The country. Sull another important
fact is that when the cubs played In
the Worlds Series Of 1906, 1907 and
7 9OS they had only a small grand
stand that would not hold within
5000 Of what the new one will &C =
commodate. The 1905 series was a
bigger money proposition than either
of the two that followed Immediately
hut this was because the White SoX
we're the opponents, SO that a ire
mendous amount Of local rivalry en-
tered into the situation The two
clubs split up $50 1880 then. In 1907
and 1905 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 lam
med TO the guards, would not admit of
any record breaking attendance fig-
ures In 1907 the two clubs snllt SS6. =

these figures with the amount divided
in 1910. when the Cubs played the

Athletics. II was S7G5i00I. But. Of
course, these numbers do not com
pare with those Of the Giants Red
Sox series of 1872. when the record
was set at $293,S31.s2 to be divided
by the clubs, exclusive of players
and national commission shares, But
the Cubs now have an even larger
park and the next time they get in a
Worlds Series it will be possible for
them to more than double their for
mer Worlds Series returns
SEVERAL other facts must be
- taken into consideration In com
putting how much better the Cubs are
likely to be as an investment in flu
ture II must be remembered that
Charles w. Murphy, the last owner Of
the club. was immensely unpopular in
CsiCago, SO much so that the fans at
times even circulated boycott petit
tons against his club. Yet they did
collect large portions OF coin of the
realm. at that What. then, will be
the result If a popular administration
should get in?
Probably no other club in baseball
has had such a distinguished line of
presidents as the Chicago Nationals r.
this remark, of course, doesn't include
Murphy the 3S years of the
clubs life, II was a charter member
Of the National League in 1876, with
William A Hubert as president, Nor
gan G. Buckley. later Governor OF and
Senator from Connecticut, was the
original president of the league When
he retired in the following year 1871,
Hubert became head of the circuit,
serving as 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 the Cubs. He
continued in office until 1892. when
James A. Hart came In as president,
the club being owned then by John r.
Walsh. the banker Walsh sold out to
Murphy. who used money borrow ed
from {. T. Taft, in 1906, and the lat
ter stay ed in Office until a couple Of
weeks 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 So years, an average tenure OF
ONCE 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
certainty Just how much stock Taft
bought back from Murphy recently,
but II is said by reliable persons that
80 shares were involved in the trans
action. at price OF $4,000 share,
makng a total of S53o,oo0 paid over
by Taft Taft also is supposed TO
own all the rest OF the stock. with
the exception OF the ten shares held
by Ackerland or 90 shares in all al
though IL Is believed likely that few
shares are sprinkled around here and
there to a few small stockholders. who
may own anywhere from one 10 Ave
shares apiece, for maybe a total Of
about eight shares
