H. L. Hach and A. H. Griffin on Saturday afternoon purchased a two-thirds interest in the Minneapolis Western Association team for $10,400. Mr. Hach already owned on-third of the stopck, so he and Griffin are sole owners of the team. Mr. Griffin was formerly chief clerk in the sporting goods house of S. G. Morton & Co., and, while new in the business, is an amateur athlete of prominence and a good business man. Sam. G. Morton and Fred Glade, the retiring stockholders, have secured an option on the St. Paul franchise from J. M. Pottgieser, its present owner. The price at which the team is held is $10,000. If the St. Paul Street Railway Company will put in quick electrical or cable service from St. Paul to the West Side Park the offer will probably be accepted and the St. Paul grounds enlarged or good grounds may be secured on the east side of the river.
