President Joseph J. Lannir
Sells World Champion
Boston Club.

Boston. Nov. 1.-The Red Sox, cham
pion baseball club Of the world, was sold
tonight by Joseph ]. Lannin, of Garden
City, to a syndicate composed of Harry
H. Frazee, George NJ. Anderson and
Hugh Ward. The deal was closed here
The amount involved was not announced.
The purchasers are theatrical men.
Frazee and Anderson are partners and
prominent in the world of drama. They
own the Longacre Theater in New York
and the Cort Theater in Chicago. Both
are wellknown producers. Ward is man.
aging director Of the ]. c. Williamson
Company, Ltd, OF London. one of the
most famous international theatrical or
ganizations. Ward is an Australian, but
when in this country makes Philadelphia
his home.
The new owners have been dickering
for the Boston club since the laS game
Of the worlds series, when Lannin made
the announcement that he was to re-
tire from baseball. Frazee has long been
anxious to purchase a major league fran
chise having been an ardent fan for
years. With Sam Harris and George NJ
Cohan Frazee made several Intellectual
attempts to purchase the Giants. The
sale included the franchise players and
Fenway Park. Frazee declared tonight
the new owners would make no changes
IN the poncy or the CLUB.
Although Bill Carrigan, the man
ager OF the team, has announced that
he is through with baseball, Frazee
intends to make Carrigan such an Of
fer to remain at the helm of the cham
DIons that Bill probably will change
his mind about retiring to his farm in
Lewiston, Maine.
Frazee will be president of the club,
Ward secretary and treasurer. and
Anderson a member OF the board OF
directors. They have assumed all con-
tracts OF the players.
Frazee first became prominent in
1.-THE sporting world when associated
with Lawrence Weber he financially
backed the promoters OF the willard
johnson heavyweight championship
battle in Havana. which was staged
on April Z, 1915.
Although the battle did not add any
money to the bank roll of Frazee. he has
often said he was more than satisfied
with the outcome. He didn't expect to
make any money, but was so anxious to
see Willard win the title that he didn't
care about the receipts. He Is a true
sportsman.
Il have long wanted to own a baseball
team" said Frazee. I'VE have bought
rive from It, II Carrigan sticks as mana
demands. II he still insists on retiring g
then we will get the best man possible
for the managerial job. The Red SoX
club was by far the best team in either
the American or National Leagues last
season and don't see how they can be
stopped from winning the worlds title
again next season."

Berlin, March 17.-German officials
warfare will go on in the limits set

Admiral Won Tirpitz, says that it is
shaken by the news Of the admirars

There will be universal regret that
