NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-Who is
this man Arnold Johnson who
talks glibly of millions and
moving Philadelphia Athletics
to Kansas City?
It's the same Mr.. Johnson who
dreamed up the idea of buying
Yankee Stadium for Sc million
last winter, selling the land
under the park to the knights
of Columbus for $2.5 million
and then leasing the ball park
back to the Yankees.
President of the Arnold
Johnson Corp, chairman of the
board of five companies and a
member of the board of direc-
tors of Is or 20 others, the At
year-old Chicago University
graduate is a new face on the
baseball scene.
Connected with Black Hawks.
The only connection john
son ever had with sports was
when he and Bill Tobin ran
the Chicago Black Hawks of
the National Hockey League.
He still is a vice president and
director of the Hawks. who just
incidentally, of course, happen
to be part of Jim Norris hockey
empire.
John Carmichael's story in the
Chicago Daily News yesterday
said Norris, president of the In
ternational Boxing Club and Art
Wirtz, his associate who is head
of the Chicago Stadium, would
be affiliated with johnson in the
deal.
johnson wouldn't confirm or
deny that yesterday, but it

CHICAGO. Aug. "A we'll

A stroke behind were George
Fazio of Clementon, N. j., and
Smiley Quick of Los Angeles.
Both shot 34-33-67.
It appeared that at least a

ify for the tourney proper. That
figure was tied or beaten by IS
swingers yesterday.
The play yesterday also pro-
duced nine qualiflers from a
field of AZ, who will participate
along with a group of exempted
players in the women's amateur
division of the All-American,
also starting Thursday. Men
amateurs qualified Monday.
The feminine qualifiers were
headed by Marilyn Klumb Of

Real Interests in Kansas City.
Johnson'S interest in Kansas
City isn't exactly unselfish. He
bought the Kansas City ball park
when he got Yankee Stadium
and nobody came along to buy
the land under that park. He
expects to sell the park to the
city and then lease it back to
operate the franchise. Accord
ing to Johnson, the park can be
enlarged to seat $4,000 by next
season.
They are great baseball fans
in Kansas City," he said last
night in his hotel suite. Give
them a winner and they'll come
out. The Yankees did very well
there. especially in the early
years when they had fine ball
clubs"
When reminded that the AS,
at present value, could hardly be
called a winning ball club, John
son has ready answer.

them that a few million dollars

League) has approved of it (the
sale) and also approved of Mr..
johnson and his partners. I
want to sell, Earle does. but ]
can't understand why Roy
doesn't. The club is through in
Philadelphia. There is no more
interest in the team there"
When Roy announced his plans
to buy out the family. brother
Earle gave him an option on
his stock, estimated at about %
per cent, but asked wryly:
where is he going to get the
money!"
A Philadelphia source in q posi-
ton to know the inner workings
of the club said the Board of
Directors probably would give
Roy go or 30 days extra time
beyond August II in his search
for cash if he needed or asked
for it.
After that, the source said the
johnson offer would be acted
upon.
Although no one was speaking
for publication, there were indi-
cations the American League
owners would urge a shift of
the franchise out of Philadel-
phia If the deal looked practical.
President Harridge called re-
ports of the deal premature. {"
The first concrete details of the
johnson offer were disclosed yes
terday by Sports Editor John P.
Carmichael of the Chicago Daily
News. Harridge pointed out that
franchises can be shifted only
between October and Deem
Der l. The 60-and- 90-day delay
In Philadelphia would take care
Of that angle.
One of the last major
obstacles in Kansas City was
cleared up when voters yester-
day approved a So million bond
issue to buy Blues Stadium, now
owned by johnson. The money
would be used for the purchase
and improvements which would
increase the capacity from
1900 to $4,000 by the start of
next season. Johnson plans to
lease the park back from the
city.
Kansas City was mentioned a
year ago. when 1.-THE st. Louis
Browns moved to Baltimore, but
lack OF a suitable. ball park
Killed any chance for the move.

kansas City will be a red
hot major league town. john
son said. "It outdrew Mil

ISOLATION the year before the
Braves moved to Milwaukee. It's

in my power to bring them big

The present Kansas City team
Is owned by the New York Yam
KEGS. johnson said he has an
understanding with Del Webb
and Dan Topping, owners of the
Yankees. regarding the shift.
They told me they would do
nothing to stand in the way of
bringing major league ball to
Kansas City. They agreed to
move out. I don't know where"
Moving a major league fran
chise, unthought of for years
until the Boston Braves suddenly
turned up in Milwaukee. still is
a complicated process. The shift
must be approved by six IF the
eight clubs in the major league
involved. The minor league in
volved also must approve, and
damages must be paid to the
minor league and any other
minor leagues whose alignment
