CBS Buys Yankees

NEW YORK (UPI) — The Columbia Broadcasting System ended the question of whether baseball is a business or a sport today by purchasing the New York Yankees for an estimated $lO million. The deal, which was two years in the making, immediately was assailed by two American League owners who openly wondered at the motivating reasons behind it. While neither CBS nor Yankee officials were commenting on the transaction yet because of certain legalities still to be ironed out, it was learned reliably that the purchase warmade primarily to give CBS a foot in the door for the television rights to baseball’s projected new game-of-the-week on Monday nights. As one baseball man put it: Otners May Join “It wouldn’t surprise me in the least to see the National Broadcasting Company go out now and buy a ball club of its own.” Under terms of the sale, CBS purchased 80 per cent of the Yankees while the former owners, Dan Topping and Del Webb, retained 20 per cent. CBS also has an option to buy the remaining 20 per cent within the next five years. American League President Joe Cronin said in Boston the sale had been approved by three-quarters of the 10 league club owners. The two who attacked the deal openly were Arthur Allyn of the Chicago White Sox and Charles O. Finley of the Kansas City Athletics. Allyn was upset by “the highhanded manner in which it was conducted.” “It’s a hell of away to run a league,” said the White Sox president. “I don’t like to be called at 11:45 about something and be asked to approve it in three hours.” Allyn voted against the sale;

Yanks Stop White Sox 5-2; Cubs Drop Philadelphia 3-1

By CURT BLOCK UPI Sports Writer Sounds like the Yankees of old. Elston Howard wasn’t trying to hit a home run — but did, and lefty Al Downing wasn’t sharp — but won. Howard came to bat with two out, two on and the score knotted at 2-2 in the eighth inning Thursday night and drilled a Gary Peters’ curve ball 410 feet into the left - center field bullpen at Yankee Stadium to give the Yankees a 5-2 victory over the White Sox. “You don’t go for a homer in that situation,” the American League’s most valuable player of 1963 said afterward. “I just wanted a base hit to win it but I knew it was gone when I hit it.” Pitches Complete Game Downing went all the way, as Peters did, and was reached for 10 hits, the most he has allowed in any game this season.

Finley said he never had a chance to do so, but made it clear he would have. Finley said this was “just another perfect example of the shenanigans of the American League President, Joe Cronin, and the New York Yankees... I can’t understand the stupidity of some of the other owners in voting for this. It isn’t right.” Topping and Webb apparently thought it was, for the sale enables them to more than double their original investment. The two of them, along with Larry MacPhail, bought the Yankees in 1945 for $2.8 million, and two years later Topping and Webb bought out MacPhail’s one-third share for $2million. Since then, the Yankees have won 14 pennants and 10 world championships but even so, they’ve been having their troubles the past two seasons. Fans Prefer Mets Overall, they showed a profit of less than $300,000 last year when their attendance skidded to 1,308,920, the Yankees’ lowest since World War 11. To make matters worse, New York fans seemed to show a preference for the Mets, who drew 1,080,104 last season in the smaller and more antiquated Polo Grounds. This year, the Mets are even outdrawing the Yankees at spanking new Shea Stadium right across from the World’s Fair. Quietly and without fanfare, the Yankees have been trying te- eut expenses and although they 1 don’t publicize the fact, they stand to lose money this year. Topping and Webb will split the $lO-million right down the middle, 50-50. For the purchasej price, CBS not only obtains the franchise, but also the Yankee players’ contracts; the lease on Yankee Stadium; the concession con-

“I’ve had better stuff. I wasn’t as sharp as I’ve been in some other games,” the 24year -old southpaw explained while making it clear he was pleased with the victory. “I didn’t have my good fast ball and I couldn’t get the ball where I wanted it at times.” The defeat dropped the White Sox three games behind the pennant - hopeful Baltimore Orioles. Baltimore crushed Boston 7-1, Minnesota defeated Detroit 6-3, and the National League Ifeading Philadelphia FthilHes suffered a 3-1 setback at the hands of the Chicago Cubs in Wrestling Beatle To Open Tour . CHICAGO (UPI)—It had to happen. George Ringo, born in Liverpool (New York, not England), let his black hair grow long, then got a clip, and now he’s taking to the road as “The Wrestling Beatle.” His “advisor,” Bob Luce, said he would appear “three days ahead -or three days behind” the musical Beatles from England on United States tour open-, ing next month. • His manager, of course, might be Jayne Mansfield, who claims credit for discovering him as a guitar-playing singer, and an ex-wrestler, appearing in a California night club. At least Luce said he was committed to ride with him in a “one-car parade” prior to his first wrestling engagement in Los Angeles Aug. 24. But a guitar-playing singer who can wrestle ought to be able to wrestle. “He’s not gredt,” Luce said, “but neither was Gorgeous George. And he made a fortune.” Berlin Wall Is Now In Its Fourth Year ' BERLIN (UPI) — The Berlin wall, which many hoped; would be temporary, entered its fourth year of existence today. The. Communists began build- ( ing the wall on Aug. 13, 1961, ' to block a flow of refugees to the West that was draining the Eastern zone of its best workers and technicians. To commemorate Thursday’s anniversary, West Berlin officials designated an hour of silence. But except for halted transportation, life went on as usual. One East German escaped to the West. He was a 21-year old railway policeman who took advantage of his assignment near the wall, but his flight was not disclosed by West Berlin police until today. Minor demonstrations broke out along the wall despite efforts to avert them. Z About 1,000 youths gathered : at checkpoint Charlie, jeering ■ police, stoning neutsmen and' chanting “the wall must go.” ~ The crowd attacked a Soviet ; military car on its way back to East Berlin. The car was j dented and its license plate torn off but none of four Rus-J sians inside were injured. z S= tracts; the Yankees’ minor Z league holdings and the existing = radio and television contracts. -

Thursday’s only other major league action. Take Quick Lead The Orioles jumped on Boston starter Bill Monbouquette for five runs in the first inning and then coasted to victory behind the combined five-hit pitching of Robin Roberts and Stu Miller. Brooks Robinson *'♦ belted his 17th homer of the campaign to highlight the five run uprising. The final two Baltimore runs scored in the fourth on an infield grounder with the bases loaded as the Red Sox were caught napping. The Twins scored all their runs in the first two innings as Camilo Pascual picked up his 12th victory in 21 decisions. Rookie Tony Oliva had two . hits, including his 27th homer, to hike his league - leading batting average to .335. Cub righthander Ernie Broglio stopped the Phils on three hits for his fourth consecutive win. Ernie Banks had a homer for Chicago in the second and the Cubs, added two- more in the third on three singles, an error and a double play. The loss cut Philadelphia’s lead to 3ti games over idle San Francisco.

Record August Cold Snap Is In Third Day By United Press International A record - breaking earlyAugust cold snap stretched into its’ third day in Indiana today after setting new low temperature marks for the second night in a row. It was even colder over the northern half of the state this . morning than it was 24 hours earlier, when new records for Aug. 13 were established from one end of Hoosierland to the other and temperatures never before reached so early in the month were chalked up. A low of 40 at Lafayette was only eight degrees above freezing, and temperatures in the 40s were common through the northern two-thirds of the state. It was the coldest reading ever at Lafayette so early in August. Early risers could “see their breath” in the chill, dewy morning air. Thermostats on heating systems kicked on. Car heaters, blankets, sweaters and other autumn paraphernalia got a workout. Other overnight lows included 41 at Fort Wayne, 44 at South Bend, 45 at Terre Haute and 48 at Indianapolis. The Indianapolis low set a new record for Aug. 14, breaking by one degree the old record established last year on the first day of a fiveday cool wave almost identical to the one now in progress. The low-40s readings upstate were well below those of Thursday, when temperatures in the low 50s kept that area comparatively warm while downstaters shivered. It was a turnabout, for the Evansville area which was among the state's cool spots Thursday had a relatively warm overnight low of 59 today. White a slight warmup was due to put the mercury back nearer normal today, forecasters indicated sub-normal temperatures will continue through the middle of next week, at least. Highs today will range from the low to upper 70s, lows tonight from the mid 50s to the low 60s, and highs Saturday : from the upper 70s to near 80. No important changes were predicted for Sunday, and the five-day outlook said temperatures will average 5 to 8 degrees below normal with only minor day-to-day changes in temperatures through next Wednesday. Occasional light rain and a chance of isolated thundershowers was seen for today and tonight 'in the southern two-thirds of the state, and possible showers in the southwest Saturday. A little light rain was expected Sunday over the state. The five-day outlook said precipitation will total about threefourths of an inch with showers ( most likely over the weekend.

Milwauke, Wis., and Sept. 27 at Trenton, N.J. Promoter and car owner J. C. Agajanian said here Thursday night that Jones will drive the same car which world grand prix champion Jimmy Clark of Duns, Scotland, drove in the “500” this year. “If he likes it,” Agajanian said, “I’ll negotiate with Ford Motor Co. for him to drive it in the Indianapolis ‘500’.” Agajanian is the owner of the conventional Speedway roadster which Jones drove at Indianapolis in 1963 and again this year. A new real-engine Offenhauser built for them was wrecked recently at' Trenton while Jones was running tire tests. Jones will take his first ride in the Monday at Trenton. "Agajanian ’ IndirtitMl ‘Jones made the switch because of the wreck at Trenton and because of the showings made by Clark and Bobby Marshman in LotusFords this year at Indianapolis. Agajanian said that except for mechanical troubles the race would have been between Clark and Marshman at the finish. A fire in the pits took Jones out of this year’s Memorial Day classic. Jones was unhappy when the lighter Lotus-Fords were introduced at Indianapolis in 1963, Ma And Pa League To Hold Meeting A reorganization meeting for the Ma and Pa mixed doubles bowling league has been scheduled for 8:30 p.m. Saturday August 15 at Eddie’s Recreation.

Four Pro Grid Matches Scheduled For Tonight

By JOE GERGEN UH Sporte Writer Four professional football games kick off the second . weekend of pre - season contests tonight, with teams in both leagues seeing action. In the National League tuneups, the Pittsburgh Steelers open their exhibition season at Allentown, Pa. against the Philadelphia Eagles (0-1)' and the Baltimore Colts (1-0) travel to Detroit to take on the Lions, also undefeated. Undefeated Kansas City meets the Bills at Buffalo and the Oakland Raiders and Denver Broncos, both looking for their first win, play at Denver, in American League tilts. All other pro teams with the exception of the AFL’s New York Jets and Boston Patriots see action Saturday night with the feature attraction being at Green Bay where the Packers host the New York Giants, their opposition in the NFL’s title game in 1961 and 1962. Tied Two Times The Eagles, whipped by the Steelers last year in a pre-sea-son contest, spoiled Pittsburgh's run for the Eastern Division pennant by tying them twice. Ed Brown, an 11 yeair NFL veteran, will quarterback the Steelers, who will have one rookie, halfback Paul Martha of Pitt, in their lineup. The Eagles will miss the services of quarterback Norm Snead, halfback Timmy Brown and flanker Red Mack, who are injured. The Colts - Lions game will pit two teams who provided NFL fans with some thrilling football last wek. Baltimore’s second string quarterback Gary Cuozzo came off the bench with the score tied to spark a Colts victory and the Lions nipped the Redskins in the closing moments erf play. Buffalo’s rookie place-kicker Pete Gogolak should help draw fans on the strength of his record 57 - yard field goal last week against the Jets. Gogolak, from Cornell, kicks his field goals soccer style. Giants Seek Revenge But, the most interesting ■game this weekend will involve the Giants and Packers. Allie Sherman’s— injury ridden crew will be seeking- to avenge last year’s exhibition loss as well as the two defeats in the NFL title game. Although veteran Y. A. Tittle will be calling the signals for New York, it will be a tough battle ail the way for the Giants since Frank Gifford, Aaron Thomas, Del Shofner and Joe Walton are suffering minor injuries and will be out of action. The world champion Chicago Bears engage the Washington Redskins at Richmond in their first NFL exhibition game since defeating the College All-Stars. In other games Saturday night, Two Bowling Leagues Schedule Meetings Meetings of the Major and Classic bowling leagues have been scheduled for Monday evening, August 17 at the Villa Lanes. The major league meeting will begin at 7:30, followed by the Classic league meeting at 8:30. All team captains, officers, and other interested bowlers have been asked to attend.
