Enter ToIkinq,
Exit Talking

CLEVELAND, July 9. - Next to Casey
Stengel, who Immediately became part of
1t, the Senators seven-game winning streak
was easily the No. conversation piece at
this years All-Star encampment.
IF it amt for me-" the crusty Nets
spokesman protested, you don't get Gil
Hodges, and where would Washington be
without him who has already cost me three
games because he is the most graceful
fielding first baseman on double plays
ever saw even If he is righthanded which is
awkward for first basement"
Stengel, holding court in center lobby
inhaled deeply, took cognizance Of his
gathering audience and was off and run
ming again.
"All know is don't want to let Hodges
60 and he amt playing for me yet with that
bum knee, but when they came to me and
asked If would stand in the way of OPP
portunity I said no because If it amt for
opportunity where would be today?
1.-THE other day when Hodges team
wins its fourth game somebody in Pitts
burgh asked me how come Selkirk selected
him to be the manager and I ask you the
same question because on the Nets we only
got one manager at the time and that's me
because the owners said so when they
formed this team and Hodges is a first
basemen and not manager when he's with
the Nets
NOW YOU TAKE my ball club" Casey
continued. I'VE amt won a game in the
last 10, but them other owners keep telling
me how many good players got, but when
offer to sell them any they say no, which
means maybe the fellows they think are
good amt so hot because know we amt
won since we beat the Yankees in the ex-
hibition. Maybe we ought to be in the Amer
lean League, where did pretty good before
the owners thought wasn't.
MY ballplayers got all kinds of COM
plants Like that scoreboard sign we got in
centerfield, which has got that Rheingold
sign on 1t. They complain 1t is not good
hitting background, but all know is that
In the Polo Grounds we're playing three
games over 500 but on the road we got q
record of something like 5 and SIS, which is
not good even for the Nets.
I'VE get to Pittsburgh and see that
big, beautiful, green background which is
Just dandy for hitters, but my men can't
hit there so think maybe we ought to take
the sign on the road. The Rheingold peo-
pie paid more than a million dollars to
broadcast our games and they're entitled
10 something.

CLEVELAND, July 8. - The
players, virtually ignored thus
far, took over in the saith ALI
Star Game this afternoon,
putting aside for a couple of
hours such related matters as
the prospects of $4,000 empty
seats and the question of where
are some Of the All-Stars.
Partly because Mickey Man.
tie is unavailable and Whitley
Ford was not selected, the Ma
tonal League was a slight IA
vorite to win for the 10th time
against II defeats. There was
one tie.
The size of the crowd was
a bigger issue here than the
outcome of the game. Fewer
than $4,000 were expected in
the same stadium that housed
69,812 for the All-Star Game
in 1895.
People in Cleveland, some
what apprehensive because
there has been some talk that
their baseball franchise may
be moved, belittled the i'm
portance of the empty seats.
They pointed out that the
four years of two All-Star
Games will take years to over
come in point of interest; that
the 1885 game was not tele-
vised; that prices have more
than trebled; and that 1885
was one of the peak years of
the Superstars.
CIamOr for Change
There is added clamor to
/
again change the manner of
voting, which has been in the
hands of the players since Gin
cinnati fans stuffed the bal
lot box in 1856. Those in favor
of a change say the selecting
by the players does not create
enough interest.
In this charter city Of the
American League, the National
League had the biggest names
today in Willie Mays and Hank
Aaron in the outfield, plus the
Incompatible Stan Musial, Sc
lected for the oath time, and
Maury Wills. Plus their pitch
ers, headed by Don DrySdale
and Sandy Koufax.
There was hardly a real box

so is with the compliance of the
San Francisco club and the Ma
tional League" he added.
Several American League
owners said privately a Kansas
City-to- Oakland move would
be welcomed because it would
create a second Pacific Coast
team to match the Los An

plify travel arrangements, re-
duce costs for everyone and
create a strong intra-state ri
valry.
Such rivalry exists in the
National League between the
Giants and Dodgers.

Cronn Confirms As Interest in Oakland
CIuboWners
Given Jolt
By Finley

CLEVELAND, July 8 (AP).--
American League President Joe
Cronin confirmed today that
Charles o. Finley, owner Of
the Kansas City Athletics, had
expressed interest at an execu-
tive session on the eve of the
All-Star Game in moving his
club to Oakland, Calf.
However, Cronin emphasized
that Finley had made mo for
NAL request" to move the AS
franchise. If such a request
were made, it would need at
least eight affirmative ballots
of the 10 owners to switch the
franchise.
The Associated Press had
learned yesterday that Finley,
rebuffed a year ago in his effort
to move the AS to Dallas, was
seeking a new home in Cali
fornia.
Bonds Authorized
The Oakland City Council
and the Alameda County Board
of Supervisors recently ap-
proved issuing $25 million in
revenue bonds to build a 4S, 500
seat, all-purpose stadium in
Oakland. The park is not ex-
pected to be completed before
1865.
Horace Stoneham, president
Of the San Francisco Giants,
confirmed that Finley had ap-
preached him in an effort to
secure the use of the Giants
Candlestick Park until the
Oakland stadium is finished.
Mr.. Finley was in to see me
10 days or two weeks ago."
Stoneham said in San Fran
cisco. He asked me if his club
could play in Candlestick Park
as a Starter-until Oakland
finished a proposed stadium.
But I told him it would
be better for him to establish
himself directly in Oakland.
AS I understand it, Mr..
Finley had talked to and re-
ceived backing of certain in
terests in Oakland"
Problems Discussed
While denying that Finley
had formally requested move,
Cronin said:
''Mr. Finley discussed with
US his problems in Kansas
City, as he did a year ago,
and expressed an interest in
moving to Oakland.
II cannot say any more at
this time"
Other American League Of
ficials at first were hesitant to
discuss the matter. After learn
ing of Stoneham's statement
they acknowledged that a heated
discussion had taken place on
Finley's proposal. The move
took the other owners COM
pletely by surprise.

Palmer Still Choice
For British Open
Starting Tomorrow

ST. ANNES, England, July {
(AP). Masters Champion Jack
Nicklaus is a little worried
today-because hes playing toe
well in practice.
Nicklaus, Arnold Palm r
Doug Sanders and Phil Rodg-
ers are the big American hopes
in the 72-hole British Open
golf championship starting to-
morrow.
A total of 100 golfers are
shooting for the title won the
last two years by Palmer.
Nicklaus, 23-year-old from
Tucson, Ariz., has shot 70-68-
1857 In practice rounds over
the 6,852-yard Royal Lytham
and st. Annes links. Par for
the course is 35-36-70.
Course Doesn't Suit
But 1 still think this is not
a course to suit me-" Nicklaus
said. IF you get a crooked
drive-and I'm likely to-then
YOU can find lots of trouble
off the line.
Another thing-I'm playing
too well in practice. The trou-
BILE may be waiting for me
later"
Nicklaus and Gary Player of
South Africa are second IA
vorites behind Palmer for the
title. Palmer is 81. Nicklaus
and Player were rated I'll
shots.
But the bookies took an
other look at those odds today
after Nicklaus' good round and

pa pro said.
But it's only a head cold.
I'm hoping I can get rid of 1t
before the championship starts
Wednesday"
About 1000 spectators turned
up for practice rounds yester-
day - an indication of the
drawing power of such golfers
as Palmer and Nicklaus.
A club official said he ex-
pected crowds of between is, ZOO

Kel Nagle and Peter Thorn

among the players regarded as
challengers for the title.

club, either. From strictly a
real estate point Of view. a
theater, especially one as enor-
nous as the Capitol. represents
an appalling waste OF space.
To the theater management,
such a movie palace as the
Capitol represents a white ele-
plant. For one thing, the flight
to the suburbs has taken NOV
iegoers out there, too. For an
other thing, the trend in film
exhibition is definitely toward
smaller theaters.
=
A 60O-seat theater playing to
near capacity for every show
is a far more profitable opera
ton than a 3,000-seat theater
(the Capitol officially seats
3.24O) that is one-third filled
all of the time. Even so, Loew's
would be happy to continue
operating the Capitol, If the
price were right,
The management is as aware
as anyone that the Capitol
Theater is the only one in town
of sufficient size to give a
home away from home to such
cultural visitors as the Bolshoi
Ballet and the Metropolitan
Opera. It's a bit cramped on
stage for either of these two
groups, but it's the best we
have until we get the cultural
center, which is not likely to
happen a week from next
Wednesday.
Unfortunately. the gentlemen
who run the Press Club, their
thoughts on the potential rev.
enue of all that space between
the orchestra floor and the
ceiling in the theater, demand
a high rental There is a con-
siderable gulf between their
asking price and the price
Loew's thinks it can pay with
out going broke.
An impasse seemed to have
been reached and the Capitol
was set to close in June or
July. Now, however, another
complication has arisen. The
story is that Rep. William B.
Widnall of New Jersey has dis
covered or remembered the
special circumstances of the
construction of the National
Press Building.
It's taller than the legal limit.
To build it this tall, the club
had to get a special act Of
Congress, back in the 1920's.
Naturally, to get this, it was
necessary to submit detailed
plans of the building and the
theater 1t would contain.
Now, says Rep. Widnall, the
Press Club still is bound by
those submitted plans. If it
wants an overweight building
without a theater there al
fourteenth and F, it will havC
to get a special act of Con.
gress. superseding the one that
permitted the over height
building with a theater. Other
wiSe-and the American Law
Division Of the Library of Con-
gress repeatedly agrees-it can't
lay a finger on the Capitol
Theater.
