COBS'GO AL TO REMAIN SAME Chicago, .Tan. 27 —(U.R) —The goal of the Chicago Cubs will remain the same as it was when \\ illiam | Wrigley. Jr., was alive —the world championshipUnder the ownership ot Philip| K. Wrigley, the Cubs will be' coii-j ducted in the same high plum-] that they were during the regime of his father who died yesterday in Phoenix, Ariz.. without realiz-; ing his life’s ambition of owning | a team supreme in the baseball i world. In his 16 yeara i.t connection with the Cubs, Wrigley spent more' money than all except one mac , nate-—Col. Jake Ruppert of thej New York Yankees to build up a! world championship team. The, sum is estimated at fl.iKHi.mm bull any sum is guess. Wrigley often, paid baseball expenses out of his' ow n pocket ll'causs- baseball has I a hobby witli him a million dollar hobby. Even though he was identified ■ with professional sports he was! one of the greatest amateur I sportsmen in the world. It wasn’t' his desire to have the Cubs m:ik money for him although they did during the last four years. That, however, was because of the clever direction of the team's affairs by William Veeck. president of the club and a former newspaper man, who once made the- remark: “Well. I wish 1 was running the Cubs; I'd show you how to get a winner and make money." The remark was repeated • to Wrigley and it wasn’t long . I hat until he hired Veeck as business manager, and a year later made him president. The Cubs have prospered under Veeck's direction. but it wasn't prosperity i that Wrigley wanted—it was a I world championship team. That was the reason he fired ! Joe McCarthy as manager, and

Wrigley lmd| him. “When I am displeased with your work I'll hire a new man ■ ft ger." The time did come for him to get a new manager. He hired ' Hornsby and bucked him to the, last ditc h He was convinced | Hornsby would enable him io: realize his life's ambition of own-: ing a world championship team. I It was Wrigley's opinion that: Hornsby was the greatest player he ever saw in action. He thought that HI years ago. and) made an effort to gel Hornshy i from the St. Isntis Cardinals seven! years before he finally bought him 1 from the Boston Braves. Wrigley spent big money on I baseball. He paid $200.00(1 and I tossed in five players for HornsIby He spent $60.0(1(1 for a diam ’ ( ond for the Cubs to train on at ■ Catalina Island. He spent $75.(Mm - for Alexander and Bill Killeferl and then sacrificed Alexander for the waiver price of $7,500. He! i paid the highest salaries of any! magnate In the game, not includ-i ing Col. Jake Ruppert. if Babe! Ruth had played for the Cubs in ! stead of the Yankees he might: have been a SIOO,OOO a year plav-( er. Once he spent $18,500 in four!
