Bid 10 Purchase


SAN FRANCISCO, July 10 (P),
Refusal by owner Paul I. Pagan
to extend the present lease on
Seals Stadium has squelched
plans of Oscar Salenger and
Rogers Hornsby to buy the Pa
cif1c Coast League club.
Salenger, Beverly Hills busi-
nessman who talked to Pagan in
a telephone call to Hawaii, told
local newsmen:
IF Pagan is unwilling to ex-
tend the lease on the park fol
another five years, then the
whole deal is off,"
The present lease to the Little
Corporation" owner of the Seals
has three years to run. Fagar
says he plans to dispose of the
stadium grounds for industrial
property after the expiration oi
the present contract.
san francisco, once called the
queen of minor league cities,
hardly acknowledges that it has
a ball club these days. The fans
who boosted the gate to almost
half a million in 1946 now stay
away in droves.
Pagan has called the stadium
a white elephant for baseball
because of cold weather and in
adequate parking.
