Red Sox May Lose Fenway Park to Auction Over Debt
Henry Frazee and Hugh Ward face a court ordered sale of 3000 Fenway Realty Trust shares to settle a $262,000 note due from the 1916 Red Sox sale. Lannin's lawyers state mortgage bonds totaling $125,000 remain, with $15,000 maturing annually, while a yearly rent of $30,000 continues on Fenway Park. The action concerns land rights, not the team, and Frazee’s absence from Chicago delays comment.
