Short Says World Title Won’t Save Senators Solvency
Washington owner Bob Short told AL owners the Senators require vast funds to service debt and rent, with no buyer offers to keep the club in Washington. He said a Milwaukee lease could help, but current rents and a near term Oct 31 payment threaten the franchise. He estimated an $11.5 million sales price and urged possible partial sale only if the team stays, though bankruptcy is not desired.
