BROOKLYN, NY. October 10, 1915 - In a press conference held yesterday at Washington Park in Brooklyn, Robert B. Ward, a key financier of the Columbia League and owner of the Tip-Tops announced the sale of the team to Gus Duke, a 35-year-old real estate mogul.
The sale was reportedly for $313,000. One thing to look forward to is a name change from the Brooklyn Squad. Robert Ward owns the Tip-Top Bakery, and used the team to promote his business. It is unlikely that Duke will keep the name.
