The Daily Journal, Franklin Greenwood, Indiana, Thursday, 'September 26, 1974 Off iniiia, in 111 i iwcwM Only Charlie Finley knows Cliff's ciiff By Cliff Melvin Sports Editor OAKLAND, Calif. (UPI) The rumors would have it that Charlie Finley wants to sell the Oakland A's and-or move the team, but it hardly sounded that way Wednesday. Finley met with a group of sportswriters and broadcasters to discuss ideas to hike up attendance. He repeatedly discussed plans for the team's future in Oakland. 4 Rushville's Lions successfully defended their South Central conference golf championship as they edged the Franklin Grizzly Cubs 308-310 at Seymour this week.

If somebody comes up with the green stuff and convinces me that I want the green stuff more than I want my ball club, then we'll make a deal. I don't want to sell. I want to keep my ball club I want to win four world championships in a row." On other topics.

Finley said there would be more day games in Oakland next season because it gets too cold at night and said of manager Alvin Dark ''We haven't! talked about next year." Asked if he were satisfied with the job Dark is doing, he said enigmatically "I am proud of where the A's are today and you can't argue with He was then asked if he thought Dark had contributed to that success and he replied "If he didn't, he wouldn't be there today." interleague Dlay. Or, barring that, he would like to see a regrouping of divisions to get Oakland and San Francisco into the same division of the Mr i II same league. "Horace Stoneham (owner of the Giants) is busting his butt to do a good job in San Francisco and so are we over here. But it isn't working," Finley said. "It is stupid not to believe a division in which both of us compete would not, for all of us, be better for it." In answer to questions as to whether he Then came Connersville at 322, Bloomington South 325, Jeffersonville 338, Greensburg 339, Martinsville.

Kim Sanders paced Franklin with a five-over-par 75, just two strokes away from being medalist. Dean Abplanalp was next at 76, Chuck Wenning had 77, Scott Mann 82 and Bobby Smith 87 with the best four-out-of-five scores counting. This wound up the Cubs' season with a 7-2 overall mark and the second place conference finish. Center Grove's Homecoming bonfire will be held tonight and their gigantic pep rally tomorrow afternoon.

Now we call that dedication. 1 Oh yes, forgot to tell you that the specially-equipped limb that was broken and replaced in the training room was artificial. Bruce Smith, an eighth grader at Franklin's junior high school sustained a leg injury during the Cublet football game at Shelbyville Wednesday.

We don't know the extent of the injury but sure Bruce would like to hear from his friends. He's in Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis. Well, time to start seeing what the rest of the day holds, like broken legs, near electrocution or a drowning by scalding. Sounds like fun, huh.
