This was Charles P. Taft's answer
tonight to a question concerning his
attitude toward the peace agreement
between organized baseball and the
Federal League, which is said to in
clude the purchase of the Chicago Ma
tionals by Charles Weeghman. Mr..
Taft is on hunting trip on his ranch
near here and was reached by long
distance telephone.
There is absolutely nothing to the
report that President Weeghman of
the Chicago Federals will buy the Chi
cago Cubs" he declared. mo propo-
sition for the purchase of the Cubs
has been made nor have | made any
proposals to sell, trade, or otherwise
dispose of my holdings. The Cubs are
not for sale"
Mr.. Taft added that baseball mat
tiers would not engage his attention
until his return to Cincinnati in jan.
uary.
