Syndicate May Buy Athletics PHILADELPHIA W-Roy Mack gets a chance to put his cards on the table today at a meeting with two wealthy Philadelphians seeking to buy the Philadelphia Athletics baseball team. Harry Sylk, a drug chain executive, joins with financier Albert M. Greenfield in talks with the je.xecutive vice-president of the A's. Sylk and Greenfield head a group of some 16 civic leaders seeking to keep the A's franchise from passing to out-of-town interests. Arnold Johnson, a Chicago businessman, has offered to buy the team and move it to Kansas City.

Estimates of Johnson's offer have ranged as high as iVz million dollars. Sylk said he didn't believe Johnson had offered that much for the "We're prepared to! make a fair offer for the not a fantastic one." Sylk said he expects a full financial report from Roy at today's meeting. Roy, his brother and partner, Earle, and their dad, Connie Mack. are nock-deep in financial i troubles. After 54 years of ling the Athletics, the family faces sale of the club or possible bank-; ruptcy.

Earle says there isn't a dime in tlie till and the Macks are done in Phiadelphia. The answer to the A's "stay or move" problem rests with Roy who luis an option to buy stork owned by Earle and Connie, Sr. They have said they want to sell their Roy says he wants to retain control of the club or make some deal to stay in baseball. Sylk orisrinally said if he bought the club, he would want complete control but yesterday indicated that if Roy wants to stay as a minority stockholder and a member of the board of directors, that might be arranged.

2, with limits and shooting ihours unclianged. That was the unofficial word from the Conservation Department on receipt of the permissible i dates from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which sets the basic pattern. Main change in the waterfowl season tiiis year wMl be blanket pi-otection for wood ducks in the Mississippi 1 a y. Previously hunters were allowed to take one each day, a measure designed primarily to save those shot by accident.

Outlook Above Average The federal order said that although the outlook for waterfowl this fall is slightly below last year's prospects, it still is above the five year average. Thus hunting seasons, bag and possession limits will remain virtually the the same as 1953 all the Byways. Wisconsin also will keep the longer shooting day initiated last year so that upland hunters and migratory hunters would be silenced at the same time. Shooting time starts after mid day on the first day at a half-hour before sunrise and continues until sunset. No Zoned Hunt The federal service offered only the straiglU 55-day season or two split seasons of 25 days each.

It' made no'provision for the zoning of states in this flyway. Hence the Conservation Congress suggestion for a zoned hunt will have to be bypassed for the alternate Congress recommendation. Bag and possession limits for ducks are four and eight, for geese five and five. Woodcock limits are four and eight and jacksnipe eight and eight. Coot bag and possession remain at 10.

Final form of the state's regulations will require foimal approval of the Conservation Commission, Aug. 25 from Washington.
