wheelbarrow to cart it off to the

Matty hasn't made his fortune sim
ply as player. But the game gave
him the start-and It gave him the
fame that he is coming into dollars
now. Matty's income for the past
few years has been something be-
tween $4,000 and 100000. Some of
it las come from the eXchequer Of
the Giants. He has made a large pile

He has written a book that brings
him a nice royalty. He is co-author
OF a play that brings him nice re-
turns. But one of his biggest sources
of income is from his investments.

of New York fandom, has gained the

business men, and many OF the Wall

NEW YORK, March 2O.-Is there
~ any money in baseball? Oh
not much for the stockholders
of 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
it for him; not more than 100000 or
100000 that he can run up into a
million in q 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. Its incorporated under
the laws Of New Jersey, which laws
do not compel a corporation TO pub
fish or even file a list showing earn
ings. Therefore. the exact profits
garnered each year by the Giants are
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 81 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
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 million" That means
that Murphy alone cleaned up an
average Of close to $4,000 a year,
which includes the marvellous in
crease in the price of the stock which
he sold.
Murphy got nearly 10000 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 19l2-when
they won the worlds championship
are said to have cleared nearly $500,
900. 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 1919
are said to have cleared over 81 500,
O00-an average OF $500, 600 q sea son
and in 1912 when they failed to grab
the pennant they earned something
over 5000, 900.
LIVERY time anyone intimates to a
L 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 in baseball,
baseball is q losing proposition unless
you have a pennant winner each
year"
Isn't II odd, then. in face Of this
statement, that even the magnates OF

Old John L. Sullivan repeated the
question had explained to him that
so per cent Of the latter-day pugilis-

the other 80 per cent are equally pos

America.
I'VE get a barrel of queries every

which way we answer, we get rise
out of somebody. So we've put it up
to you. What's the answer"
Wen, now, listen to me, young fell

And now, l ask you, what would
you call a man that had done all
those things?'
Gee whiz! Id hate to call him

I answered, but, then, Mr.. Sullivan,
your decision is that you were the

I'm still the champion of the world

he looked about as II TO cnailenSe
