Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1914-11-10


surprised to see anything happen in
baseball these days. It is known for
a certainty that Charley Weeghman,
of the Chicago Feds, is ready to take
over the Chicago Cubs, and there are
other peace offerings ready to be
bestowed upon those outlaws who
desire to come into the fold. That
Ebbets would sell his Brooklyn fran
chise is news, but it may be so at that
q
One thing we do know the senior
Ebbets is more than anxious to
dispose of his Newark holdings. 1t
is said that he has a purchaser for
the team. provided he is able to
show the prospective buyer that
baseball is to be on a sound footing
next year. We know of one man in
Newark who would make an ideal
magnate. He has lots of money and
lots of time ON his hands and he
would give Newark the best ever If he
would only go into the game. He is
single and is his own boss, so it Is
strictly UP to him. Once upon
time Frank Million had ambitions 20
be a magnate and he negotiated for
the Newark Club last year. He was
lucky, as usual, the deal fell through,
and now, after observing the losses
he escaped, he wouldn't pay thirty
cents for the Boston Braves.
