Muddy Field
Predicted For
AFL Game
By PAUL FREEMAN
United Press International
HOUSTON (UPI) —Buffalo’s
‘‘faceless” Bills and the star
studded American Football
League all-stars meet Saturday
In what could be a replay of the
quagmire that plagued the
sodden Bluebonnet Bowl foot
ball classic last month.
The weatherman was with
holding Judgment, forecasting
“chance of showers” for the
Rice Stadium turf before the 2
p.m. (EST) kickoff for the AFL
classic.
The Bluebonnet game was
played during a steady down
pour of rain before a half
capactly crowd. It gave the
ground-based Tennessee volun
teers a big advantage In their
victory over the air - minded
Tulsa squad.
A wet field would give more
of an edge to the favored Bills,
who have the built-in advantage
of having played an entire
season as a unit. The All-Stars,
tutored by Sid Gillman and his
San Diego staff, feature such
stellar performers as huge
tackle Ernie Ladd and wobbly
kneed Joe Namath, the New
York Jets’ rookie of the year
quarterback.
To tone down the Bills’
natural edge, the organizers of
me game outlawed “red
dogging” on defense, so the All
Stars could slmylify their
playbook for the nationally
televised contest

football game Sunday, but the
Eastern Conference team has
an edge In one department
guys named Brown.
Nobody around either prac

Braves Lost
Millions
By DAVID M. MOFFIT
CPI Sports Writer
ATLANTA (UPI) — A legal
skirmish between Atlanta
Braves Board Chairman Bill
Bartholomay and a 11 0 r neys
waging antitrust warfare
against the Braves for moving
from Milwaukee was extended
today when he was brought un
der the fire of cross-examina
tion.
Bartholomay already has
spent two full days In the wit
ness chair for depositions being
taken by a battery of lawyers
from Wisconsin in connection
with a case scheduled to come
up for a hearing Monday in
Milwaukee County Court.
Milwaukee hopes through this
suit, and several companion
ones, to either get back the
Braves or else get a new team
from the National League.
Bartholomay, who spent the
first day and a half dodging
questions as an adverse witr
□ess, got a chance to counter
attack Thursday afternoon
when his own attorneys took
over the Interrogations.
Tells ef Disenchantment
The story the 37-year-old Chi
cago insurance executive un
folded was one of disenchant
ment by the Braves for Mil
waukee almost from the mo
ment Bartholomay and a group
of fellow Investors purchased
the club from Lou Perm! in
November, 1962.
He said the first disappoint
ment came in April 1963—five
months later—when the Braves
had to buy back 101,000 of
115,000 shares of stock offered
to Wisconsin residents at a loss
of more than $75,000.
“We had hoped to have the
citizens of Wisconsin take an
active part In our organiza
tion,” Bartholomay said. “But
the fact that we were able to
sell less than 14,000 shares,
even at basically the same
price we paid for them, showed
a lack of Interest.”
Few Fans Added
Home attendance in 1953 was
only 6,097 abova the record low
of the previous year and Bar
tholomay admitted that the
Braves were thinking seriously
about the possibility of moving.
Then came what may have
been his biggest disappoint
ment. In a meeting In Milwau
kee on Sept. 21, 1963, civic and
business leaders, he said,
pledged their support — in
cluding a promise to sell 7,500
season tickets.
Instead, said Bartholomay,
outsiders sold only 482 of the
4,361 season tickets that were
sold and broadcast revenue
dropped to $400,000 — $125,000
less than the figure for the pre
vious five years.
This “terrible disappointment
that commitments had not been
carried out,” difficulty in get
ting sponsors for broadcasting
games, the attitude of county
officials and a “definite declin
ing Interest in sports in the
Milwaukee area” wer e all fac
tors, he said, in the Braves de
cision on Oct. 21, 1964 to ask
the National League for per
mission to move to Atlanta.
Bartholomay claimed the
Braves lost $2.5 million in the
three seasons after his group
purchased the club — Including
$1 million during 1965 when the
Braves played In Milwaukee

Helped by Radio-TV
He said another $1.5 million
has been spent in moving to
Atlanta — including $535,000 for
franchise and territorial rights
alone, but indicated that mat
ters were starting to look
brighter since the Braves have
a $2.5 million broadcast pack
age for 1966.
It was explained that the
Braves must pay all of the
costs of television and radio
broadcasts out of this but a
club official estimated that the
team would clear about 50 per
cent or $1,250,000—three times
the amount they got in 1964.
Last year’s ‘‘lame duck” sea
son was a complete fiasco so
far as broadcasting was con
cerned, Bartholomay said. He
said the Braves got $60,000
from radio and nothing from
television.
Bartholomay said he knew of
no plans to “abandon, boycott
or otherwise block major lea
gue baseball” In Milwaukee. He
insisted there is no conspiracy
against that city and that the
Braves left only because they
felt there was no future for
them there.
