The Bears were never the Cardinals they were the Decatur Staleys, later named Chicago Bears. The Chicago Cardinals were another Chicago owned team that moved around after the 50's and now reside in Arizona.

The Decatur Staleys suffered huge financial losses in the 1920 season, the first season of the NFL then known as the American Professional Football Association. Augustus Staley turned control of the team over to George Halas in 1921 who moved the team to Chicago. They kept the name Staleys for the 1921 season due to Augustus Staley paying $5000 to Halas.
