NOT FOR AMERICAN LEAGUE.
New York Subway Directors Reject
Plan to Lease Grounds

According to a base ball man connected
with the National League one plan of the
American League to get playing field on
Manhattan Island came to smash yesterday
when the directors of the Interborough
Rapid Transit Company rejected a PROPOSE
ton from the forces headed by Ban John
son to buy ground at 141st street and the
Harlem river and then lease them to the
American League, says the New York Sun.
This. the National League people contend,
is severe blow to the American League,
knocking the latter out of grounds which
they had banked all along on getting. The
National Leaguers also affirm that there is
now no available site on Manhattan Island
for the American League. AS for the
American Leaguers. there is not one of
them in New York city just at present,
but as they always have conducted their
affairs with shrewdness and foresight, it
remains to be seen whether they have been
baked in entering New York this season.
According to the Suns informant the
American League made a proposition to the
rapid transit subway construction folks
to the effect that the latter purchase the
property in question for $500. 900 and then
lease it to the American League. The propo-
sltion was laid before the rapid transit
directors at their meeting yesterday, and
was turned down absolutely.
The property said to be wanted by the
American League belongs to the Pinckney
| estate. 1t extends from 141st street to 1880
street Is DOuNCeQ on the north by the
Harlem river.
THE American League has been working
on this proposition for several months"
said Secretary Knowles Of the New York
| base ball club yesterday, land the action
| Of the directors means they won't be able
| to get on Manhattan Island. This was their
strongest card. their main reliance to get
into New York. and now there is nothing
on the island they can get"
When President Johnson was In town
three weeks ago he stated positively that
| the American League had secured two city
blocks on Manhattan Island. buying one OF
| them outright for. about 100000 and leasing
| the other for a period Of ten years. He de-
| MED cmphatically that the plot bounded by
141st and 143d streets. Lenox avenue and the
Harlem river was the location Of the new
park. Hector Clemes, a director of the
| Washington American League club and a
| close friend of Johnson when shown the
story at the Criterion Hotel. New York, last
night said:
Ban Johnson spoke the truth when he
| said he had purchased property on Manhat-
| tan Island and also leased a plot adjoining
| for ten years. The American League has
plenty Of money behind it,. without being
forced to ask anybody to buy property here
| in its behalf. johnson will be In New York
in few days to complete final arrange
ments for the new club
