Chuck resigned Monday in an
oficial statement that protested
an Inadequate" salary and q

perhaps 81 million) and 60 with
some other baseball organization.
Mother Is Real Boss.
Though Comiskey and his two
sisters, Oracle Lou and Mrs. John
Rigney, own between them two
thirds of White Sox stock, the
real boss Of the one-family enter
prise is their mother, Mrs. Grace
r. Comiskey. She is club presi-
dent and owns the other third of
the stock.
Chuck's salary for 1851 was
reported to be $4,000. plus pos
sibly $4,000 to $4,000 in divi-
dends. The Sox had a good year

In fourth place. ~

Comiskey complained that re-
peated confidential requests for
q bigger salary and q fixed con-
tract availed him nothing. He
then decided to put the matter
on q black-and-white basis. got
himself q lawyer, prepared his
demands In official form and sub
mitted them that way.
The matter rested there until
the official board Of directors

Besides Comiskey and his
mother the board is composed of
Mrs. Rigney, the club treasurer.
and two non -stockholding lawyers.
Thomas J. Sheehan and Roy J.
