home there and doesn't want to
move: the people back of the
Browns think that in time they
can put their enterprise over sue
ceSSfully.
What's going to come out of this
stalemate? Off hand it would seem
to be a tug of war of finances.
Can Breadon outlast the other fell
lows in a plural losing advent?
How much more money can Brea-
don afford to lose in trying to
force the Browns to surrender?
How far can the people back of
the Browns afford to go?
My guess and it's strictly a
guests that when the final an
swer is written the American
league will dominate st. Louis
baseball. First, because it's ira
ditionally an American League
city Second, 1 have reason to be-
lieve that the group back of the
Browns has received assurances
from the American league directors
that thy are in their corner.
Why do l say that? Well, what
do you think is back of the Browns
refusal to put out any more to
install lights in their ball park?
Mind you, they own the park; the
Cards are merely paying guests. II
any baseball city in the country
needs night baseball, it is ST. Louis
Night baseball saved Cincinnati
at least pulled it out of big, ugly
financial hole, and it has helped
Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Cleveland
etc. With night baseball maybe
Breadon and the Cards could make
go of it; without night baseball
they are definitely licked. The
Cards are still very much in the
pennant fight In their league and
vet aren't drawing peanuts, as the
boys say, and of course you can't
blame people from staying away
from the Browns, considering the
shape they are in.
Well, my thought on this is that
the directors of the American
league are encouraging the Browns
to lay off night baseball and thus
make it tougher for Breadon and
the Cards.
I think this part of studied
strategy to force Breadon to cry
Enough" and move.
OF course, Breadon could take
his Cards to Columbus, where he
owns franchise, and maybe in
the end he will. But Kansas City
seems to be more of a major league
prospect, and potentially it pro-
misses greater financial returns. In
short, it seems to be a better in
vestment-and Breadon, like all
business men, is keenly interested
in investment returns
What would happen to the Am
erican Association if Kansas City
became a major league unit? To

NEW YORK, Aug. 3. (UP)-All
l know about the report that the
Yankee baseball empire is going
to be sold is that it can be had
for a price. The asking price
would be around s10,O0000O but if
anybody came along and laid $8,-
900 900 on the line in ready money
the heirs would wrap the whole
thing up in tinfoil and say, Take
it, mister
You must keep in mind that
when Jake Rupert was alive the
Yankees were his pride and JOY
and about the only hobby he knew
in his late years. Today the Yam
KEGS may be a pride and JOY TO
the heirs but they are no hobby,
and if the heirs are to get any
substantial dough out of the es-
tate of the late brewer it must
come from the sale of property.
and the Yankees with their far
flung chain system represent
very rich property indeed.
Now where are you going to find
anybody around today with suf-
ficient money and sufficient in
terest in baseball to lay 100000
on the line? Don't wear your eyes
out looking because there isn't any
such animal If the Yankees are
sold-and some day they will be
it will be piece by piece, club by
club, and perhaps, in the end,
even player by player.
This brings me UP TO what l
think may be eventually the So
luton to the messy baseball sit
uation which exists in st. Louis,
which is strictly a one club city
but which tries with commercial
futility to support two major
league clubSthe Cards and the
Browns.
/ happen to know that the Yam
KEGS would not mind selling their
Kansas City club. which is in the
process of building UP an enyiable
attendance and artistic record.
What's more Kansas City itself
has major league aspirations. The
team as it stands today probably
could perform creditably in either
of the big leagues. 1t wouldn't win
any pennants but 1t would do all
right.
I happen to know that if Sam
Breadon, who owns the Cards
wants to buy the Kansas City club
he will not have the door slammed
in his face. And this goes for the
bunch of ST. Louis business men
who are behind the Browns. What
I'm trying to say is that If either
Breadon or the Browns group
wants to move, the Yankees will
listen TO a proposition concerning
Kansas City.
Everybody in baseball knows the
st. Louis situation has reached
such state that something must
be done and that something a.
mounts to moving one of the clubs
either the Browns or the Cards,
out of town, Breadon has his

1t was the third loss of the sea-
