One of the most masterly prices of base ball generalship in the history of the game was revealed to the public last Monday, when it was telegraphed all over the country that President Soden, of the Boston Club, had, personally, bought out the Providence Club bag and baggage. This startling piece of news proved true enough. The amount paid for the franchise was $6,600, which enables the Providence stockholders to get out whole and gives Mr. Soden sole control of the franchise and players, enabling him to take the pick for himself and to dispose of the rest in such manner as to reimburse him for his original outlay. The whole affair was mostly cleverly managed and carried out without a slip, by the diplomatic and strategic president of the Boston Club.
