Just as the call came from Finley, Davis was announcing that he and the City Counselor, Herbert Hoffman, would attend the league meeting Friday. The meeting, set after the league had extended the deadline for a stadium agreement, may provide an answer to the long stalemate between Finley and the city.

Earlier Joseph Cronln, league president, had rejected a request that the meeting be expanded so that Finley could present a request to move the club to Oak- land In the midst of the long fruitless negotiations, Finley had made efforts to move the club to both Louisville and Oakland. KANSAS CITY (AP) There was an amiable phone conversation Wednesday between an-tagonists Charles 0. Finley and Mayor Ilus Davis over a lease for the Kansas City Athletics' use of Municipal Stadium, but It ended with the same result as previous talks no agreement The Athletics owner and city officials, unsuccessful in reaching agreement on terms of a lease, face a meeting Friday at Boston of American League club owners who will decide what to do about the Kansas City impasse. Finley has insisted on a two-year lease. The city wants nothing less than a four-year "I did have a sort of a three-year lease only on a year-to-year basis that I inherited from the previous owner.

Mayor there are some other places that have three years, Baltimore and Milwaukee. I think there might be another one or so. "The league would be very happy If we could work out a Lease. Baseball, in general, would be." The mayor ignored the reference to the three-year lease and replied. "Well, Charlie, we are Just not Interested In a two-year lease." "No interest in that today, huh?" Finley said.

"Well, I'll see you later? Nice talking to you, mayor." And there seems no doubt the as the key weapon. Finley called Davis Wednesday. "You know, I was just wondering If there was any possibility of getting together on my two-year proposal," Finley said. "You know, if we could do that, it would take care of a lot of our problems. We probably wouldn't even have to have a meeting Friday." "Well, Charlie," the mayor replied, "I have told you several times that I don't believe that a two-year deal would be in the best interest of the city." "Uh huh," said Finley.

"I did have some hopes you might reconsider." Finley then mentioned a three-year lease, suggested by a city councilman last week. their coldest games of the sea- cm foil Kahlnt AAAfl ot inter.
