Giants staying
in San Francisco
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) -
Horace Stoneham has his
financial house all straightened
out, so much so that he and his
Giants can live in San
Francisco at least a couple of
more years on their own and
there will be no need for fellow
National League owners to pass
the hat around.
While the NL insists it will
never give give up its
territorial rights in the Bay
Area to the American League
even if it has to subsidize the
Giants, Stoneham, a proud man
who would never accept chari
ty, insists he will vacate for
greener pastures if he can’t
make it on his own.
“I’m going to give it one
more year and then I’ll have to
start considering a move,”
Stoneham said Wednesday on a
hurried visit home from Arizo-
Blazers playing
to get money
ORLANDO, Fla. (UPI) -
The Florida Blazers figure if
they quite now, they’ll never
get paid.
That’s why they kept on
pounding, getting ready for
tonight’s World Football League
playoff game against the
Philadelphia Bell.
“We’re playing in the playoffs
because we have no choice,”
said defeisive end John Ricca.
“We’ll never see our money if
we leave now.”
The Blazers, winners of the
league’s East Division with a
14-6 record, haven’t received a
full paycheck in 12 weeks. And
as late as the day before the
game they didn’t even know
who they were working for.
A group of local investors
reportedly agreed to purchase
the franchise a couple of weeks
ago at a reported $3 million,
half of which would go to pay
off old debts. The players
Wednesday were still waiting
for their pav.
A club spokesman denied
reports Wednesday that the

na. “I’ve had four offers from
eastern cities to move and
some of the minority stockhold
ers in the club have indicated
they’d go along with a move if
that’s what I want.
The Giants fell out of the
running in the NL West by
early June this past season and
wound up with a total
attendance of barely over
500,000. It was the lowest in the
majors during a year in which
baseball enjoyed a banner
season.
Most of the money from the
early San Francisco glory
years of the 1960 s is gone but
Stoneham picked up around $5
million recently from a land
development venture at Casa
Grande, Ariz. That’s expected
to keep the club afloat in San
Francisco for at least two
years.
purchasers of the club were
backed by Arabian oil money.
The Floridans also were
upset at the last minute
reshuffling which pitted them
against Philadelphia, third in
the East Divison with a 9-11
record.
Quarterback Bob Davis said
that two weeks ago “there was
no doubt in my mind that we
would win the World Bowl if we
played to our capabilities.
“But right now our chances
are not good. We have
tremendous dissension on the
team. The attitude of a
minority of players is not good
and we’ll be lucky to beat
Philadelphia.”
Philadelphia arrives at the
Tangerine Bowl for the nation
ally televised game with the
league’s second best offense,
paced by passer King Corcoran.
Davis, a veteran of seven
years in the NFL, led the
Blazers to 14 victories with a
league-high 56.1 per cent
completion of 413 passes for
3,098 yards and 21 touchdowns.
“During that time we expect
to improve on the field and
have a pennant winner,”
Stoneham said. “There is
nothing like a winner to bring
out the fans. This is my goal
and one I will do everything
humanly possible to achieve. I
firmly believe winning and
attendance go hand in hand,
especially in an area such as
San Francisco where people
have so many things to pick
from.”
If things don’t turn out the
way Stoneham has envisioned,
then he will consider some of
the offers he has been getting
lately. The only thing that
really bothers him about giving
up in San Francisco is leaving
the area to Charlie Finley and
his Oakland A’s.
He said “the pride factor” is
keeping the team going.
“Even though the playoff
money is small and we are
forced to play a team like
Philadelphia, you only get one
chance to win the first World
Bowl title—even if it is tainted.
“We’ve come too far to quit
now.
“The sandy-hiared quarter
back, who played behind Joe
Namath with the New York
Jets, added, “Philadelphia
can’t beat us if we play our
game.
“It would be awfully embar
rassing to have them beat us on
national television.”
