L. Huston, for mer half owner of thie world's. base- ball champions. Cincinnati interests, according to Colonel Huston, attempted to buy cut his stock, as well as that of his partner, Colonel Jacob Ruppert, in March, 1923, advancing a plan for the formation of a company with Governor Smith as titular head. No tangible progress was ever made, however, Colonel Huston said he believed, nor were efforts to inter- st Governor Smith apparentiy successful, and the move was aban- doned after the Yankee Colonels re- fused to set a price for their hold- ings.
