Follansbee Mondny night and told him he was acting as agent for a group which will put up more than $9,000,000 for Che corporation stock. Mahan asked the board of directors to present his offer of s2l-a---share fpr the 464,331 shares to the stockholders meeting scheduled for Wednesday in Pittsburgh. Mahan said the offer, if accepted, would mean the steel firm will continue operations in the West Virginia town located along the Ohio River, southwest of Pittsburgh. •It employs about 800 workers and is the town’s chief economic support. A New York financier previously offered to buy the firm's assets with the intent of selling them to Republic Steel Corp, which would move them to Alabama. Follansbe said of Mahan's offer: "It is indeed strange that this still masked group, contacting us by telegramfrom West —Virginia and signed by a person identifying himself as an agent, feels it must resort at such impersonal contact when Pittsburgh is less than two hours drive from Wheeling."

American Loop Prexy Studies Sale Contract CHICAGO (INS) —A copy of a eale contract wQiih transferred ownership of the Philadelphia Athletics from the Mack family to an eight-man home city syndicate was In tbe hands of American League counsel today. p, (League President Will Harridge received copies Monday from attorney Albert Luongo, who visited Chicago league headquarters in behalf of Ulf Quackertown interest. Harridge immediately turned over a copy to league counsel Ben Fiery for study, preliminary to a meeting of circuit owners later this week for a vote on the transaction. Approval of at least six of the other seven legaue club owners is necessary before the deal to keep the team in Philadelphia can be regarded as completed in a baseball Sense. Reports from Philadelphia Indicated that Roy Mack, who with his brother Earle and his father. Connie. controlled the A's stock prior to the syndicate sale, had struck a snag in final meeting with the new purchasers. ** One possibility suggested was that Roy was seeking to avoid a law suit threatened by Arnold Johnson, 47-year-old Chicago industrialist. who offered $3,750,000 for transfer of the A's to Kansas City at the Oct. 12th meeting of the league in Chicago. The league approved the Kansas City transfer and Roy tentatively agreed, only to back out a week later when he contacted the Philadelphia interests. Johnson said in Chicago: "I am waiting to see what happens. I have never given up hope of acquiring the A's and moving them to Kansas City. I made the deal in good faith. My architects and engineers still are working on plans.” Johnson, owner of the Kansas City Blues stadium, had planned to enlarge the 16,000 stadium capacity to 35,000 in anticipation of switching the team to the Misouri city. The league statement, 'with reference to Luongo's visit, read: "Albert Luongo, representing the Philadelphit group, met with Mr. Harridge today (Monday) and turned over copies of the sale agreement. ■"They ( the copies) will *be referred to the league counsel. “If necessary, a meeting will be held toward the end of the week,” i i , . £ • ■ MF J i *, 1 nJ ■ - tin triiiam »■ ...Um. .

Notre Dame, Navy Will Meet Saturday NEW YORK (INS) — The calendar. of all things, will be in Navy’s corner Saturday when the future Admirals skirmish with Notre Dame in the east’s game of the day. Not that dates and past history will make a bucket of difference when these traditional rivals take the field at Baltimore for their annual to-do. But the underdog Middies can bolster their hopes with a lobk at the grid log. It shows that Navy beat Notre Dame in 1934, ten years later in 1944—and this is . . . The Middies also won in 1936 and tied the Irish in 1945, but the psychological lift comes from those '34 and '44 wins. Ralph Guglielmo, Joe Heap and other stalwarts on Terry Brennan’s fifth-ranking South Bend juggernaut are not likely to be swayed by history—unless someone mentions the fact that Notre Dame has won 22, Navy 4. and there has been one tie since the two teams began their series in 1927. The teams go into this year's, battle sporting one loss apiece and that old devil comparative score crops up here with a loud vote for the Irish. While Notre Dame's loss came at the pitching arm of Len Dawson and Purdue, the Middies were beaten by a Pitt team which was smothered by ND, 33 to 0. But Brennan, an interested spectator last Saturday when the Tars walloped Penn. 52 to 6. at Philadelphia's Franklin Field, said Monday that .this was the best Navyteam in ten years. "Navy is small but fast,” the 26-year-old Irish coach declared, “they run the wide stuff well.” Brennan praised halfback Phil Monahan as a tremendous ball carrier and field leader who "sparks" the Navy attack and he also lauded end Ron Beagle and tackle Jim Royer. Navy coach Eddie Erdelatz disclosed that left halfback Billy Hepworth will miss the Notre DaUie fracas because of a damaged hip. "We're a small team physically,” the coach moaned, “and injuries are catching up «with us.” Cows Test High On Milk Production Averaging 23 quarts daily, Chattdale Burke Pontiac Pet, a register-ed-Holstein owned by Vernon Caffee, Willshire, 0., recently com-, pleted the official herd improvement registry production totalling 18,297:. pounds of milk and 615 pounds of butterfat In 365 days. Milked twice daily, Chattdale Burke Pontiac Pet was 2 years, 2 months of age when her test began. Her total was about 3t4 times that of the average U.S. cow. An Ohio City man, Lester F. Week, had a registered Holstein in the same test which produced four times the average cow’s production for one year. Week's Heilo Canary Ormsby Inka produced 726 pounds of butterfat and 21.663 pounds of milk when milked three JJjBSS .far a. y.e»c .The cow was seven yehrs of age when the tests started, and averaged 28' quarts of milk a day. Testing was supervised by Ohio State University. ih cooperation with the Hol-stein-Frisian association of America. Evaporated milk will make better whipped cream if the bowl and beater are thoroughly chilled before using.

Large Crowd At Wrestling Card Monday Night The tag match featuring Chief Lone Eagle and Bill Parks against Chico Garda and King Kong Kox stole the show at the wrestling match sponsored by the Decatur Lions club in cooperation with Bruff Cleary Sports enterprizes at the high school gym Monday night. The spectators who tilled all of the bleachers except the far corners, and part of the floor ringside seats, screamed their approval as the chief and his partner knocked their opponents’ heads together in the final minutes of the third fall to win two out of three. Parks and the chief won the second fall with a flying mare and drop kick, after losing the first to the very unpopular King Kong and Garcia. The main event with Yukon Eric, in his Alaskan blue jeans, against Ray Gunkel, former Purdue AllAmerican, ended in a draw when Gunkel was seriously injured with a shoulder block. The referee tried to award the fight to Yukon Eric, who had met the onrushing Gunkel with his shoulder, sending him flying, but Yukon refused to accept the verdict. Each fighter had won a fall. In the preliminary fight, Rodeo Red Ryder, of Tulsa, Okla., who was certainly not tha crowd’s favorite, whipped Frank Taylor of Toledo, O„ in one fall. The proud Podeo Red was soundly booed by an enthusiastic audience. The substitute match was * necessary because Bull Montana, originally scheduled, was stallbed seriously Saturday night in Flint. Mich., during his match there by a spectator. A total of 52 stitches were taken. A number of police were on hand to prevent any possible violence from a too-enthu.«iastic crowd. The Lions club was well pleased with the turnout and ran out of tickets several times during the evening. When the gates opened at 6:36 o'clock, two hours before the first match, a crowd of chil-
