bers of the strife-torn Mack
family can reach one of their
rare agreements the 54-year-

shifted to Kansas City no later
than Monday morning.
American League club owners
agreed unanimously to switch
the Athletics to Kansas City at
q nine-hour meeting which
ended here late last night, but
there's a confusing condition
which prevents the move from
being regarded as sealed at this
time.

gesture. since Roy reportedly
told the meeting he wanted the
sale to johnson completed. but
Roy was an emotional, pathetic
figure when he hurried from the
meeting room an hour before
the session ended and headed
back for Philadelphia.
Only Solid Offer.

$3.375, 900 was the only solic
one presented at the meeting

what will happen in the event
