Retention Ot A's May Lead To Phils' Move By JOHN BARRINGTON (INS Sports Editor) NEW YORK (INS)—Wrong Way Corrigan had nothing oin the Philadelphia philanthropist*-— they can’t be termed anything else—who are willing, apparently In an outburst ot misguided civic pride, to sink $4,000,000 into the Athletic*. That’s their initial ante to keep th® A’s—the most threadbare franchise in baseball—in Philadelphia Contrast that with the 13,500,000 reported to have been offered two weeks ago tor the Cleveland Indians. who only won a record 111 games in the same league in 1954. Roy Mack’s eight angels are ignoring the fact that the average Philadelphian last season didn’t even feel life civic pride respond to the extent of the price of a bleacher ticket—despite an impassioned plea for help by the city’s mayor. The total attendance for the year was a meager 383,000; and there Is little reaeon to believe the citizenry can be “aroused" to champion the A’s cause any better If they come up a tail-ender again in ’ss—as they almost inevitably must. When International News Service sampled man-in-the-street reaction in Philadelphia last Wednesday, after the switch to Kansas City apparently had gone through, it wTis an apathetic “so what.” But if the local people don’t care, there are a few other folks w'ho do. Arnold Johnson, who spent an estimated ,75.000 on the Kansas City preliminaries, is one. Others are the majority of American League clubowners, saddled with 22 more profitless Philadelphia dates annually. And that goes double for the New York Yankees, who are willing to move their American Association franchise out of Kansas City to give fans there major league ball. Hqw many will turn out now to see the tripleAAA Blues play* The bottom hae fallep out of the Yankee InvestmentJn f. C. Then there irttimtMtau named Bob Carpenter, who owns the Phillies, the other club in what by now has been proved over and over to be a one-team city. The new A’s syndicate most certainly took money right out of Carpenter’s pocket when they elected to stay in Philadelphia. Out of it all. there are grounds for three predictions: 1. 'fhe American League will be ... split now into acrimonious factions. Present friction between the progressives and the old guard, will be immeasurably increased. Will Harridge, on the brink of retirement as president, probably will t>e hastened 1 in going through with that action. The real -fireworks will start when clubowners try to agree on a successor; ** 2. Now that the A s are staging. Carpenter may give very serious thought to moving the Phillies out of Philadelphia. The city will wind up a one-club town, anyway, and it will be stuck with the Worst of Its two representatives. And the National League may as a resu’t, win the vital race to rhe west eoact. 3.

revived .with renewed vigor. And. in its vanguard will be Arnold Johnson and present Yankee coowner Del Webb, the latter doubtlessly in a behind-the-scenes role, along with Jim Norrie, the (hockey and boxing impressario, who is one of the world’s richest men and reportedly was one of Johnson’s Kansas City partners. Dreyer Winner On Ist Round Knockout NEW YORK (INS) — Strange things happened Monday night when Gerry Dreyer of South Africa stopped Mexico's Ramon Tiscareno in the first round of a scheduled ten-round welterweight bout at St. Nicholas arena. The fight had a weird ending with Willie Ketchum, who manages Dreyer as well as former lightweight king Jim Carter, being suspended by boxing commissioner Robert Christenberry after his fighter won the, bout on New York State's three - knockdowns •in- around technicality. “ . Dreyer had sent Tiscareno to the canvas three times—but the third trip came right at the bell, and referee Petey Scalzo apparently ruled the fight over under New York State rules. Tiscareno’s handlers stormed into the center of the ring and protested that the Mexican youngster had been pushed. Christenberry called over Scalzo, Ketchum got in on the discussion. In the meantime. Dreyer’s right glove was removed by his seconds. It was for thia action that Ketchum later was suspended by Christenberry and ordered to appear before the commission Friday. The commissioner apparently decided the fight should continue because the bell suddenly rang for the second round. Eventually, when the confusion subsided, Dreyer was declared the winner.

New Owners Os Athletics Wait League's Okay PHILADELPHIA (INS) — Legal papers are expected to be completed today transferring the ownership of the Philadelphia Athletics from the family of Connie Mack to the team's eight new "angels." However, the new owners are still awaiting approval of the transaction by the American League. League president Will Harridge was slated to make a statement Monday concerning the $4,000,000 deal, but an aide reported he would have nothing to say "until final papers are drawn.” Meanwhile, there was no question that all parties involved are bound by the sale, which paid Connie Mack $604,000 for his 302 shares ot stock and his son, Earlei $450’,000 for his 163 shares. Another son, Roy, who bucked the efforts of Chicago realtor Arnold Johnson to move the club’s franchise to Kansas City, received $200,000 and a one-ninth interest in the new organization. The delay In the league's approval is regarded by the eight new sports executives as a mere formality. Harridge reportedly has the names of the owners in addition to information concerning their backgrounds and occupations. Generally, however, it is not league policy to object to changes in club ownership except for serious reasons. Studies Report CHICAGO <INS) — The approval by the American League of the sale of the Philadelphia A’s to an eight-man syndicate was expected momentarily today. W’ill Harridge. league president went over all the reports from the parties concerned but refused to issue a statement until after the final papers in the club’s sale have been signed. The American League official delayed his announcement Monday until he has had time to get in touch with the other league owners. The club owners, by a margin of 7 to 1. must approve the sale or else it can not become valid. Should the league uphold the sale to the Philadelphia syndicate, all hopes, at least temporarily, would die for Kansas City becoming the new home of the Athletics.

Much unnecessary waste can be saved by dusting flour on meats, fish and patties from a large salt shaker. SERVUS — INSULATED HUNTING BOOTS Red or 0. D. STULTS CIGAR STORE
