“McPhee has more money saved than any man in the Cincinnati team,” said one local player. “He has $2,000 or $3,000 ready cash and $7,000 or $8,000 invested in mortgages. Long John Reilly is fairly well heeled and is next to McPhee. It is supposed that John has saved $7,000 or $8,000. Mullane has been a good saver, but he has lost considerable in his investments. Tony must have saved $5,000 or $6,000, but the Fidelity Bank failure and his Vine street saloon put a crimp in his pile. Jim Keenan used to be one of the spenders, but the last two or three years he has held them close to his breast. Jim is a good man in a quiet game, and, beside, he has raked in good money on investments. He has about $5,000 stowed away for a rainy day. St., quoting the Cincinnati Enquirer
