Negotiations are being conducted by certain leading Directors of the Buffalo Base Ball Club for the purchase of the franchise of the Detroit Base Ball Club, with very fair chances of success. Detroit has become a very poor ball town, now that the Wolverines can’t play for the chmapionship, and the Directors are losing money, and some are reported as being anxious to sell out to the highest bidder. Buffalo is finely situated for a League city, and the League magnates look with favor upon the scheme. Buffalo is a great ball town, as witness the large crowds at Olympic Park with a losing team., quoting the Buffalo Express
