Prank Chance makes more than $2S.- . 000 every year, not every two years, with the Cubs "This may surprise fans, but It is the truth. Chance makes more than $25,000 early, and I don't think he h apt to accept any outlaw offers white he has such sums coming his way. "Chance has accomplished more In three years with the Cubs than nn oiner manager ever did." continued Murphy. "His financial earnings have probably been more than twice those of any other manager. His contract waf. written by himself and runs for four years from the time It was written, writ-ten, which was last September. He has always lived up to his contracts and I have no doubt that he will continue con-tinue to do so. I hope that he will Lattle for many, years to come for tho glory of baseball and of Chicago." |
