WHEN President Soden, of the Boston
League club. was asked if he had heard any
thing about the proposition to buy out the Ma
tional League clubs for 81, 900 000 he replied
that all he knew about it was what he had seen
in the papers. He ridiculed the idea that the ten
League clubs would sell out for any such sum.
He dId not believe The offer, if made at all, was
made IN good faith, and if it was it was an ad-
Vertising dodge. Not a League club would seri-
ously consider such proposition, he said, for a
moment. IF anyone should offer the Boston
League club 81, ,00V 900 for Its property alone it
might be considered perhaps, and under the
circumstances of the present year we would
not consider sum any less than that" were
the parting words of the Boston President.
