Johnson Still Confident Os As Purchase CHICAGO (INS) — Arnold Johnson, Chicago industrialist, was back in his home city today—still confident that he will eventually buy the Philadelphia Athletics baseball club and transfer it to Kansas City. Johnson also for the first time revealed the Identity of all of, his partners in the bid for controi of the A’s and said he was ready to "spend another million dollars for players.” The 47-year-old viee chairman of the Automatic Canteen company had been in Philadelphia for over a week, following closely the futile attempts of an eight-man Quakertown Syndicate to win American League approval of a deal which would keep the A’s in the Pennsylvania city. Johnson already had disclosed that one of his partners in a $3,375.000 bid for the club was Nathaniel Leverone, chairman of the board of the Automatic Canteen Co. He said other partners were J. Patrick Lanuan, senior partner of Kneeland & Co., investment firm, and Joseph H. Briggs, president of H- M. Bvllesby & Co., another investment concern. Johnson has been dickering with Roy Mack; executive director of the A’s, who has been striving to keep the club in Philadelphia with the help Os the eight-man syndii cate. Roy Mack, nts brother Earle, and their father. Connie .Mack, controi the stock of the clnh. Johnson said of his latest negotiations wipi Roy Mack: “The deal has to jell a little while, but I believe my chances are excellent.” A league spokesman said that another circuit .meeting would be, necessary if the Kansas City deal were revived, "because so much has happened” since the franchise shift was approved on Oct. 12 in Chicago.
