American Loop Owners Favor Shifting A's CHICAGO (INS) ■- Arnold Johnson, 47-year-old Chicago industrialist, was in the driver’4 seat today regarding ownership of the Philadelphia Athletics, whose transfer to Kansas City was approved unanimously by the American League. The transfer, granted at a' Chicago meeting Tuesday, was conditional on the sale of controlling stock in the club by next Monday by Roy and Earle Mack, sons of Connie Mack, who founded the team 53 years ago. Johnson’s offer of $3,750,000 was regarded as the best of five considered by club owners and their representatives at an eight-hour meeting which saw the 1955 location of the A’s teetered dangerously at times between Philadelphia and the Missouri metropolis. Roy Mack fought a desperate delaying action in an all-out effort to keep the A s’ in Philadelphia. But Johnson's ammunition was presented in a barrage of solvent facts and figures. He showed a notarized record of advance box and reserved tickets orders totaling 811,109 and representing $1,897,252 in money. Theorders were from banks, big industrial firms, clubs and cities covering a wide area. Johnson presented builders' plans which established that he could enlarge the seating capacity of the stadium where the Kansas City Blues now play from 16,000 to 35,000 by opening day next spring. Probably a clinching fact was that he owns the stadium and has the full backing of Kansas City interests in his plan to bring big league baseball to a new scene. Johnson expressed complete confidence in his ability to make it worth while for the league to approve the transfer. He said: "Kansas City. Mo., and Kansas City. Kas., have a population of 700,000. They are in a center of a population of six million people. “Everyone in the area is enthusiastic concerning our prospects. We are getting complete cooperation. The Kansas City board of education is helping us arrange for parking facilities for between 4,000 and 5,000 cars. "The only thing we are fighting is time. I must know spon that we can the A's because even now we will have to work on an overtime basis to enlarge the park.” — Johnson said he and Bob Carpenter, owner of the Philadelphia Phillies who have been leasing the A's park, already have agreed to terms on the sale of Connie Mack stadium for $1,675,000. Johnson added that the deal probably will be closed as soon as he acquires the Mack stock. -■ Roy Mack. 64-ybar-old son of the retired 91-year-old Connie, presented Johnson's principal opposition. Roy held out stubbornly for Philadelphia and Philadelphia interests, although his brother, Earle, 67, and his father, Connie, were willing to sell. At one time at the meeting — : which was delayed three hours by the lateness of Roy s train in arrhing from the east because of heavy rains—he had strong backing. He had a deal working with Charles Finley, Chicago insurance broker. Tommy Richardson of the Eastern League and Philadelphia ! backers, which might have kept him in control of the A’s. But league officials insistence in transferring the club to Kansas City if the A's continued to lose money in Philadelphia — checked this combine. League President Will Harridge 'leclinerf to say what might happen if ißoy refused to -sell his stock by Monday. But if his father and brother sen. lie will he in the position -of a minority stockholder. Roy s and Earle's share in the sale after heavy club indebtedness is paid—is estimated at $450,noo each. Their father's cut was figured at about s6"f',ooo. Connie, who will be 92 next Dec. 23. is known to be anxious to uve the money to establish a trust fund for his three daughters. —» —■ Johnson, who served as a lieutenant commander In the Navy during World War 11, Is a memher of the board of directors, of the hicago Blackhawks ho< key team. He is vice chairman of the board of directors of the Automatic Canteen Company of America—with a seventy million dollar annual business. He said he plans to continue to all the team the Athletics—or the A’s for short. Last season the A's drew only 305,362 fans in home gamea—the climax of a series of lean, losing years for the Mack clan. Trailer Resident Dies Os Gas Blast EVANSVILLE.

Wiley Lawrence Chester was born in the Jeffersonville hospital. His heart was enclosed in a “plastic bag” outside his body.

A surgeon, who refused to be identified, said: "In eight or 10 hours, the membranes around the heart would have become like old parchment. By that time, it probably would have been too late.” ’ An hour-long operation forced the heart back into its normal cavIty;—.—.t . ■ . ~ Wiley is'home now' with his mother, Mrs. Palmer Chester, and his sister, fouryear-old Linda Kay, with nothing more to show for having been a medical rarity than a small scar on his chest.
