Bidder Not Able To Get Brooklyn Club At His Price
New York Oct 19 Charles H Ebbs and associates did not sell the Brooklyn club of the National league yesterday to Jacob Marks and his secret syndicate. Marks visited Ebbets Field and said a price would be placed on the holdings for his syndicate. Ebbs declined to deal with a broker and asked who was in the syndicate. Marks said he would return with the men he represented. He later announced the syndicate planned to bid for the Robins tomorrow at 11 oclock. Ebbs emphasized the club is for sale at their price and warned against sacrifices. He noted Brooklyn owns valuable Flatbush property with value rising as the subway comes, and estimated the team could be strengthened to contend for the pennant. ADVERTISE IN THE FARMER.
