Marshall Henderson Sells Pittsburgh Franchise

PITTSBURGH, PA. February 2, 1917 - Pittsburgh owner Marshall Henderson announced the sale of the Pittsburgh Keystones franchise yesterday to a New York City based theater-owner, Gustav Amark.

Amark, a Swedish immigrant who has lived in the United States for the last ten years, openly admits that baseball is not his forte, but he will have other team officials running the baseball operations.

Amark has already announced that the team will move to New York. The move should form a great rivalry between the new team and the Gothams.
