Another of Those Deals"
His latest sell out" was effected
yesterday morning by The Boston Post
According to the story Of this paper
Captain Joseph r. Conway, pres Fdcnt
e the Horace Partridge Company "a
sporting goods house,. and Major
Frank Cavanaugh. head coach Of Bos-
ton College. had "practicallv" closed a
deal for Fcrwav Park and the Boston
American League clubs franchise. Jo-
seph T. Kennedy. Of the we'll known
banking firm of Hayden. Stone Co., was
tire financial sponsor and champion Of
the two.
Cavanauch was to act as president
and Conway as secretary and treas
urer: Hughie Duffy was to be retained
IS manager TO assure to the ciannish
Bostonians 4 closed corporation Of ma
tive son talent in the clubs admins
tration.
Everything, according to this story,
was settled except the price-a minor
detail. OF course. but a detail upon
which Mr.. Frazee for some reason lays
particular stress.

afternoon. "the Red Sox always have
been for sale; have made that clear
repeatedly. | own nothing | wouldn t

trouble IS no one has approached my
terms. Every business man that ever
bought anything would sell it for some
sideration.
But this thing Of having the Red
Sox sold every DAY or two is becoming
annoying. see in It personal an
tagonism in some quarter. It certainly
i unfair at this time Of the season.

I may have something to say further
on the subj ect a little later on
Aside from the petty annovances
this "selllng Of the Red Sox' is becom-
ing a financial nuisance as we'll.
Frazee is spending so much money
talking to his Boston Office and to the
Boston newspaper men that he'll be
lucky enough to have anything left for
the income tax man. Frazee admits
that he knows Joe Conway but he de-
clares he hasn't seen him since the
close OF the baseball season, and that
Mr.. Conway never made even the mild
est suggestion as 20 MS putting a price
on his baseball holdings.
