The score remained that way for nearly eight minutes until Nashville ' s William Gaines recorded a safety , seemingly awakening the Kats and beginning a furious comeback . Kelly threw for two touchdowns in the final minute of the first half , pulling the Kats within six at halftime , and took a 30 - 29 lead by opening the second half with a touchdown pass to lineman James Baron .

Games that conflicted with the Boston Red Sox schedule were held at the Manning Bowl in Lynn , Massachusetts . Team owner Ted Collins , who managed singer Kate Smith , picked the name " Yanks " because he originally wanted to run a team that played at New York City ' s Yankee Stadium . Unfortunately , the Yanks could only manage a 2 - 8 record during its first regular season . Because of a shortage of players caused by World War II , the Yanks were merged with the Brooklyn Tigers for the 1945 season , and styled as the Boston Yanks . The merged team played four home games in Boston and one in New York . But fans from neither city cared as they finished with a 3 - 6 - 1 record .

After three continuous losing seasons , Collins finally was allowed to move to New York . He asked the league to fold his Boston franchise and give a new franchise ( for a tax write off ) .

After drawing very few fans to four games in the Cotton Bowl , the Dallas owners gave up and the NFL took the team over for the rest of the season , during which the Texans had to play all their games on the road . At the end of the season the franchise was disbanded . Finally , in January 1953 , the holdings of the defunct Dallas Texans were sold to Carroll Rosenbloom and the franchise was moved to Baltimore , Maryland as the Colts . Years later , the Colts moved to Indianapolis , Indiana . Baltimore later created the Ravens . Both Colts , and Ravens , are now NFL teams .
