doesn't appear to be any question ~

talkative as to the result Of It.
Current reports have James e. Gaff-
ney. former owner OF the Braves.
agreeing to an extension of the mort
gage he holds against the team. which
comes due November l. This extern
sion. coupled with the Curley-Stal-
lings conference, strengthens popular
belief that the Boston National team
ownership will shortly change hands
Peace Outlook Brightens.
AS peace indications brighten in the
war zone interest in the coming base
ball season noticeably increases. This
increased interest, with every likeli-
hood of the 1919 season going through
on regular schedule. is understood to
be quite factor in the pending deal
for the Braves.
At club headquarters they declare
there is nothing new in the situation.
Apparently little is thought of any
foreclosure danger, and the impress
sion is given, though not in SO many
words. that the present owners will
continue to control the team through
the coming season.
AS far as Mr.. Gaffney is concerned
about renewing his ownership of the
club, 1t has come to be an accepted
fact that he has given up the idea. He
makes no secret of his love for the
game and intention of getting back
into one of the big leagues, but be-
yond that he will say little. There
are many who expect him to show up
in control of the Brooklyn club. not
withstanding the rather high figure
Ebbets sets on his team.
