Mets Offer $500,000 In Seeking Big Name

* TBED DOWN UH Spuria Writer NEW YORK (UPD—The New York Mets offered the Loa Angeles Dodgers $500,088 far outfielder Willie Davis and will make the same offer to obtain any one of four other National' League stars, the United Press International learned today. The four other stars for whom the Mets will pay a king's ransom are outfielder Billy Williams of the Chicago Cubs, outfielder Willie Mays of the San Francisco Giants, outfielder Hank Aaron of the Milwaukee Braves and pitcher Sandy Kbufax of the Dodgers. A source close to the Mets said that the $500,000 offers either have been made or will be made in the near future by M. Donald Grant, chairman of the board of the Mets. The source said the decision to make the huge offers was based on the belief that acquiring a super star is all that the Mets need to cement their popularity with New York fans. ■Die last-place Mets outdre-w the American League champion New York Yankees in home attendance last season. “Far Davis Alone” Dodger owner Walter O’Malley said in Los Angeles Wednesday night that Grant had offered him $500,000 for W. Davis and slugger Frank Howard. Grant, who is in Hobes Sound, Fla., countered with the statement that the offer was “for'’ Davis atone.” Grant said the offer was made in Houston, Tex., during the recent major league meetings and that O’Malley asked the Met board chairman whether he would put the offer in writing. Grant said he told O’Malley, “in our business we don’t have to put it in writing.'” Davis, 24, is a lithe, lefthanded speedster who is considered one of the best defensive center fielders jn baseball. He batted .294 with 23 doubles, seven triples and 12 homers in 1964. Williams is the youngest of the four other super stars. Only 26 years old, he hit .312 with 39 doubles, two triples and 33 homers while driving in 98 runs

Eskew said most tourney sites have worked out seating problems to comply with state' fire marshal regulations but that some gymnasiums could be down “100 seats or so” because of the regulations. Eskew said his principal concern with the tourney is that it will not interfere with school time. “I want to cut out all sessions A. C. Adding Exits IHSAA Commissioner Phil N. Eskew has said there will be "no drastic” changes when the sectional tournament sites are announced next month. Thus, Adams Central will more than likely again be the site of the Adams County meet—with the same seating capacity as last year. The state fire marshal's office had ordered Adams Central’s seating capacity reduced from 2,300 to 1,750 in October, cutting out some 550 seats. Principal Carl Honaker vowed at that time that the school would make the “necessary adjustments.” which, according to a statement from Honaker today, is being done. The principal explained that blueprints for additional exit space have been drawn and a contract awarded to builder E. D. Schrock. The blueprints have been annroved bv the fire marshal's office, and Schrock is exoected to begin making the adjustments sometime after the Christmas vacation. Two doors will be added to the west exit at 1 the south end off the gym, and two more to the east exit nt th" same end, giving the building the reouinwl inches of exit space tn seat 2 300 persons. Th»*oo a re the only changes that wi’l be made. Each gvmnasium is requered ‘o have 22 inrhes of exit space for everv 100 persons. Bv ‘do"b l in < ’ the evttg at the south end of the building, the Monrne cchnol will meet; the required inches of space. consisting of three games,” he said, "but there will be at least one sectional tourney with 14 teams.” He added that it is impossible to go on a two-game per session plan with that many contenders. Eventually, however, he said he hopes the IHSAA will have a tourney with the same number of teams at every sectional. He said the tourney layout, to be announced early next month, will have "no drastic” changes from last year.
