called "base ball's stormy ,
may quit the game within a!
.-lion time.
An olTcr of $1,00.001) "ta 1 1 tor the,
Red Sox ilaj n franchise and real j
estate holdings, embracing Fenway
park, was inn'.; to Frazee a sho,rt i
lini'e ago. It came from a group of i
I'o-tuu sportsmen who arc anxious
1.1 have Ihe U-adi locally owned,
l-'r.ice 11 jcctci it and, although he
did not ti a price, it i said that he
umild li-ten vrty attentively 'o any
proposition which included such
ligurcs as ?1.2.i0.lMHt.
I'raee is in disfavor in lio;-to!i.
The fans have never forgiven him
lor the ale of liabc Ruth and other
-lai-N. Manv bate "boycotted' 'the
ox under the Frazee ownership,
'frazee ha antagonized newspaper
men in the Hub City and those who
are not openly hostile are careful
not to do anything that will help
hint.
A-. a' resul Frazee probably
would welcome a chance to get out
nf base ball, especially in view of
the fact that his lu21 team seems
mediocre and doesn't look as if it
' will be more than a second division
outfit. Last car. while the other
seven American league clubs were
playing to capacity at home the Sox
weren't drawing at all. And there
is no prospect of a .change in WJI.
Frazee declared at the time that
he purchased the team that th?
"whole outfit," which included real
estate. CiVt him "a little more than
1,000,00(1." Since assuming owner
ship Frazee has realized perhaps
$230,000 through the sale of players.
The Red Sox owner and' Ban
Johnson have been at loggerheads
iver since Frazee became a magnate.
Johnson is said to have opposed
Vrazec's entry in the American
league. 1 ut 'Frazee- by paying a
record price for the Red Sox, got in
anyway. Frazee sold Carl Mays
to the Yankees while Mays was on
Johnson's suspended list and there
fore, under league rules, ineligible
for sale or trade.
