McGinnity Is Known to Have

Llu0 Tor newark holdings.
Now we have it that Joe McGinnity
will purchase the Terre Haute, Ind,
club of the Central League. 1t is
known that II. Clay Smith, the Iron
Mans partner here, has been through
the Central League several times this
season and is sweet on many of he
players there.
The report is to the effect that two
Terre Hause business men will close
the deal for the purchase of the club
with the present owners of the club in
a few days.
The story is that big Mac will take
charge of the club at once. This is not
likely, however, for his interests here
will require his personal supervision
for the balance of the season. He may,
however, take a trip to the Indiana
Prior to the departure of the Tigers
for Montreal. McGinnity and Charles
Wagner a wealthy citizen and baseball
man of Terre Haute, were in confer
ence here and Wagner made an OFFER
for the Newark franchise. Manager
Mccinnity stated that the price was
$50, 900, and that it was turned down.
I'VE will not sell our holdings. said
IRENE, n II we need o very
badly we will sell a third perhaps and
still control the situation"
The Iron Man at the time was going
to tell more about Wagner. but appar-
entity figured that It was too soon.
The opinion now prevails that Wagner
was instructed to get control Of Terre
Haute and a swap of stock would be
made. Thus the same STOCKHOLDERS,
own the two clubs. and the Central
League club would be used as a farm
to train new Tigers.
While Terre Haute is considered a
good baseball town, II is at present
place, having won but 20 games and
lost Sc.
o
II will be the Tigers VS.. Royals at
Montreal tomorrow.
