Braves Face Loss as Park Leased to Dog Racing Syndicate
Boston Braves risk losing their National League home after their park was leased to a dog racing syndicate. Judge Fuchs has been dispossessed and the site will host dog racing, triggering an emergency league directors meeting called by President Ford Frick. Fenway Park remains a potential alternative but owner Tom Yawkey opposes the move. The lease reportedly runs through 1946, complicating the franchise situation and league rules against gambling in small parks.
