John McGraw's crew ran down the line
of possibilities ad infinitum Guessers
had this much to start with. however:
Secretary John B. Foster of the Giants,
denied the club would be sold and eN-
posed an offer of 81, $50, 900 by Sinclair
for sixy-two shares of stock, which, he
said. was turned down by Owners

Though Sinclair is reported to have
