 Late last nig1E, however. it was aatd that Ruppert and Farrell dined 4oRether and that they had finally come to terms on the purchase price for the Highlanders At the ColonePs house last night it was said that MT Ruppert had gone out to dine with several of his friends. It was said the price that Ruppert will pay for the team is somewhere in the neighbor- hood of SAYS. .00O.
 On his arrival from Chicago, where he had arranged preliminary details with Presi dent Johnson for 4he purchase of the club, Col. Rup- pert declared that the deal had not officiany been closed, but intimated that he had hopes of becoming 9 big league club owner before many hours had elapsed.
 ssThere are a few details to be transacted before the deal Is official ny consun mated .' said Ruppert, @a,nd kas soon as these are completed, which hope will be soon, Capt. Illus ton and will take over the club. As to who the manager and new players will be that the New York club, will receive from the other seven teams in the American League, I cannot state until all details for the purchase of the club are completed.
 MT. Ruppert and Capt. Huston were asked if Bill Donovan was to sbe made manager, or already had been selected to manage the team during the coming baseball season Both evaded this question by decIar- ing they would give 4out nothing un- til the deal had been officially closed
 Early in the day Frank Farrell gave out statement in which he de- cIared that the sale of the club had been taken out of Ban Johnson's s hands and that if Col. Ruppert and Capt. Huston wanted to buy the club they would have to meet his demand, which is said to be $5OO.OOO.

From present indications Water bury will not be on the baseball. map next season. Mike Finn. the old Southern league manager, hes called off negotiations for the purchase of the team and it is said that the Cleveland American league club, which owns the franchise, hassdeter@ mined to make all the players free agents. sf t

Cleveland cannot carry all these youngsters on the pay roll and the owners want to give them chances to hunt new jobs. The only player to be retained will be Pitcher Ed Hovlik. who will probably catch on with the American association.
