Officers of the Montana Typo

with the Board of Examiners and
representatives from the Highway De-

but said it had been confirmed
by baseball officials in both major
leagues.
He quoted one unnamed base
ball executive as saying. Busch
wants to get out, because base
ball is such a controversial busi-
ness. You can't run a ball club
like you do an industry. It's
everybody's business. /. That's
why the Cardinals want out"
In Controversy From Start
Controversy has surrounded
the Cardinals owners since the
brewery stepped into buy the
club from Saigh as a civic ges-
ture. With the purchase of the
ball club, Sportsman's Park first
was changed to 'Budweiser
Stadium"-but it then was
named Busch Stadium as a con-
Icession to critics who viewed the
first choice as an invasion of the
game.
The Cards recently fired Man

liked in st. Louis. and called in

NEW YORK, June IA B.-
The st. Louis Cardinals were re-
ported up for sale today because
the baseball club has not pro-
vided a profitable return for its
brewery bosses.
However, the club president,
August A. (Gussie) Busch, jr.,
vigorously denied the report,
which was published in a copy
righted story under the byline of
Sports Editor Bob Cooke in to-
days editions of the New York
Herald Tribune.
Cooke said the Cardinals were
on the block because the poor
showing of the club, and GER
tain deals which the club has
made. are believed not to have
been an asset to the sale of Bud
weiser beer"
The beer is the major product
Of Anheuser-Busch, Inc. one of
the Nations largest breweries,
which has its main plant in st,
Louis.
Cooke said Busch and other
brewery officials are willing to
sell the ball club and the ball
park for what they put into it or,
failing that, even to take loss. y
Annheuser Busch purchased
the National League club and its
extensive minor league holdings
for $3.75 million in 1858 from
Fred Saigh. who was forced to
sell after being convicted of in
come tax evasion. The ball park
formerly Sportsman's Park,
but rechriStened Busch Stadium
was purchased for 100000
from Bill Veeck. then owner of
the old st. Louis Browns.
Busch termed the report per
fectly ridiculous" and added:
There's no more truth to it
than there is a man in the moon. ="
Cooke also reported that the
Cardinals, who stated they lost
100000 in 1858. "had operated
at a loss of 81 million last
season."
That was denied by a Cardinals
spokesman, who said, "We prac-
tically broke even. We did spend
some money for players-nothing
like a million dollars-but you
can hardly consider that a loss. "
Cooke did not reveal his source
