HAS EXPERTS WORRIED Brooklyn Club Appears as Best Buy, as No Ground Is Owned by Philadelphians. Third Leéague Talk Foolish. BY JOHN B. FOSTER. EORGE M. COHAN, aspiring to be a base ball owner, according to his own confession, has all the experts guessing as to what club he sceks. When the subject was first broached, the Boston Amer- icans were suggested because the New York actor-manager always has 2 lot of admiration for the Red Sox. Not only does he like them, but he likes Boston. However, he went far enough to say that he was not after that clup and assured the boys that he was not trying to fool them in that respect. Y Then it was Cincinnati that was suggested as the goal of the Cohan ambition. but he does not want that club, and Garry Herrmann says he can’t have it anyway. Ii Garry were to get out of base ball what would become of him. 1t's his hobby. He likes it better shan politics, and that is saying a great deal.
