Gaffney Considers
Moving Braves Grounds

BOSTON, Dec. T.-President Gaffney,
of the Boston Nationals. is very much
discouraged over the inability of the
directors of the club TO secure a larger
seating and playing grounds in the
New England city. Efforts have been
made to secure several grounds, but the
owners of these parks realizing the need
the BRAVES" had for a suitable play
ing field. raised their terms to aImos:
unbelievable prices. Consequently Pres
ident Gaffney was nonpalsed when he
heard that no playing field could be
secured" Gaffney then decided that
as he had an option on land near the
Harvard Stadium in Cambridge, he
would remove his team there il tie
necessity should arise
