GAFFNEY NOT AFTER PIRATES;
DREYFUSS ANXIOUS TO SELL
Former Boston Owner Denies Trying
to Purchase Pittsburgh Club

NEW YORK. April Thames f.
Gaffney, the New York contractor who
owned the Boston Braves when they won
the worlds series in 1914. has denied
that he was negotiating to purchase the
Pittsburgh Club from Barney Dreyfuss.
Gaffney admitted that he had talked with
the owner of the Pirates when he was
here Wednesday, but declared nothing
was said about buying out the latter's
interest in the Pirates.
Gaffney said that he was still deeply
interested In baseball and would like to
get back into the game. but that the only
cities in which he would invest in club
were New York and Boston.
1t Is understood however, that Drey-
fuss is anxious to sell the controlling
interest in the Pittsburgh Club. With
the retirement of Fred Clarke as manager,
Dreyfuss' interest in the game has di-
minished. In another season or two his
other old standby, Hans Wagner. will
retire, so the sentiment which has kept
the Pirate owner in the game is fast
disappearing.
