Senators Will Not Move To Minneapolis
Washington owner Calvin Griffith announced the Washington Senators will stay in the capital this year amid Minnesota's bid to attract the franchise. He cited opposition from some American League owners and noted a three-vote block could block a transfer. The Minneapolis offer projected $430,000 yearly net for five years, while the club drew 615,000 in attendance this season and Griffith said the club lost money. De Orsey advised options to sell or accept Minneapolis terms with amendments, but Griffith said his stock is not for sale and he intends to remain in baseball.
