On this day in 1915 New York Giants President Harry Hempstead
rejected the International League's request to put a team in the Bronx. The

the New York Yankees, was going to be a way to prop up a failing minor league
franchise. This was also attempted to try and keep the invasion of the Federal
League out of New York.
