|Text=<p>[from the Boston correspondent] John C. Haynes is to-day the head and front of the biggest music publishing house in the country, the Oliver Ditson Company, of Boston.  Mr. Haynes is in this thing for something besides the money he may possibly get out of it.  He was one of the so-called “frozen out” stockholders of the Boston Base Ball Club Association.  He finally sold his stock and got a good price for it, because it was utterly impossible for him and the other majority [sic] stockholders who held the minority stock to figure at all in Boston's base ball interests.  And although he and the others who disposed of their stock to the triumvirs made tremendous money by the investment, they were sore on account of the “freeze-out.'  it is for that reason Mr. Haynes is more particularly anxious to see the present move succeed.  The same is true of two or three of his associates.  The Sporting Life November 20, 1889</p>
