NEW YORK, March 2O.-ls there
any money in baseball? Oh,
not much for the stockholders
of a winning club-that is, not more
than dividends ranging from 300 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
100000 that he can run up into
million in few years by careful in
vestment under the guidance of bust
ness men who know an opportunity
when they see it and who gladly slip
tips to star ball players
The National Exhibition Company
Is the corporate name of the New
York Giants. It's incorporated under
the laws Of New Jersey, which laws
do not compel a corporation to pub
fish or even file list showing earn
ings. Therefore, tine exact profits
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
ries receipts, of course, have cleared
close to 100000 a year. The club is
capitalized at $4,000, which means
that the club has paid dividends each
year of $4,000 on every 500 invested.
THE Chicago Cubs, next to the
1 Giants, have been regarded as
the biggest money makers in the old
league. According to Charles Webb
Murphy, denoted prexy Of the outfit,
he started in baseball in 1905 with
one cotton shoe string and emerged
with "over a million" That means
that Murphy alone cleaned up" an
average Of close to $150,000 year,
which includes the marvellous in
crease in the price of the stock which
he sold
Murphy got nearly $4,000 for every
800 share of stock he had in the
Cubs--showing that his stock had in
creased 100 times in value in some
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 $4,000 according to reports.
The Athletics in 1910, 1911 and 1913
are said to have cleared over $1.500,
000-an average of 100000 a season,
and in 1912. when they failed TO grab
the pennant. they earned something
over 100000.
livery time anyone intimates to a
IL baseball magnate that there's a
fortune in baseball the said magnate
released a wall of anguish and as
sures the populace that there amt
no money to be made On baseball;
baseball is a losing proposition unless
you have a pennant winner each
year"
Isn't It odd then, in face Of this
statement, that even the magnates Of

Mike Finn, Hit by
Ball, Now in Fear
Of Blood Poison

MEMPHIS, TENN, March 2O.-M. j.
Finn. manager OF the Memphis base
ball team, is in a serious condition to-
day as the result of blow he received
on the foot at the ball park Tuesday.
The foot is badly swollen and discol-
ored and blood poisoning is feared.
There is possibility, even though blood
poison fails to develop, that Finn will
be kept off the field for a month.
While sitting on the bench Tuesday
Finn was struck on the foot by ball
from Dunckels bat, and the foot badly
bruised. Finn limped around Wednes-
day and Thursday. neglecting to give
the injured member attention. To-day
1t became worse and the manager was
confined to his bed, Captain Jim Null
len will look after the Turtles in Finn
absence.

Grafton of millionaires there will be

CHRISTY MATHEWSON, of the
Giants. started In baseball thir-
teen years ago with a wise head, a
good arm and a pair of shoe strings.
To-day Matty is worth between 5000, =
900 and 100000, and the money is
coming in so fast that he needs a
wheelbarrow to cart 1t off to the
bank.
Matty hasn't made his fortune sim
ply as player. But the game gave
him the start-and 1t gave him the
fame that he is coming into dollars
now. Matty's income for the past
few years has been something be-
tween 100000 and $4,000 Some of
1t has come from the exchequer of
the Giants. He has made a large pile
writing" articles for the newspa pers.
He has written" book that brings
him a nice royalty. He is co-author
of play that brings him nice re-
turns. But one OF his biggest sources
of income is from his investments.
Matty, during his years as the idol
of New York fandom, has gained the
friendship of many of New York's
business men. and many of the Wall
Street brokers. Whenever these men
learn OF a good thing" by the way
Of investment they slip the tip" to
Matty, and Matty gets in"-and
usually he gets out with a nice big
profit.
Frank Chance. manager OF the Yam
KEGS, is worth about 100000.
Larry Lajoie, of the Maps, who was
a Woonsocket hack driver about
eighteen years ago and mighty happy
when he earned 50 a day, is worth in
the neighborhood Of 800, 900 to $3.50, =
900.
Mordecai Brown, once Of the
Cubs and now of the Feds, has about
$4,000 stored away in the cooler.
Edjie Collins, the Athletics second
sacker. is worth around $4,000 to-
day. according to reports.
