Announce ment of the purchase was made by Charley at a press conference. Charley said the deal was completed at Kansas City between his brother and Muckerman. No official sale price was an nounccd but it is believed that the DeWitts paid close to $1,000,000 for the 56 per cent of the stock which Muckerman owned. The Dewitts already held two percent of the Brownie stock. IN BY THEMSELVES In his statement Charley said "We are in this by ourselves, we have no backers.

Under the new setup, Charley said, Bill, is 46, will be presl dent and Charley, 48, will be vice- president. Bill has been general manager of the American league club and Charley has been traveling secretary. Muckerman has been president. Bill, who joined his brother at the conference, said "as long as we have anything to say about it the Browns will remain in St. Louis." The DeWitts said Kansas City was selected for closing the sale because Muckerman is out of St.

Louis on ice company business and would not be back here Until Feb. 15. Muckerman was in Chicago and the DeWitts were in Cleveland where they conferred with Ben Fiery, American league attorney.

Frank Parker Advances in Copenhagen Tennis Play COPENHAGEN UP) Frank Parker of Los Angeles, the United States' third ranking player, defeated Torben Ulrich of Denmark, 6-2, 6-4, yesterday in the first round of the Copenhagen International tennis tournament. Parker is seeking another shot at Denmark's young Kurt Nielsen, who brushed him and Budge Patty aside last week in winning the Scandinavian indoor tournament at Stockholm. Aussia Cuppers Named MELBOURNE, Australia, UP) John Bromwich, Frank Sedgman and Bill Sidwcll were named to represent Australia in the 1919 Davis cup tennis competition. CAGE COU3INS Hailing from Gary, these two Valley college cage cousins are scrappy stalwarts for the Indians on defense. Bob Miller, right, hasn't missed a ball game for Coach Ray Blake's Braves all season, but Nick, left, ran into misfortune soon after the loop season started.

In the second conference tilt against Chaffey he suffered a thigh Injury that has benched him probably for the rest of the season. He'll be missed Saturday when the Redskins take on Riverside In the crucial contest. SLANTS 6 CLAUDE ANDERSON Cporti Editor It was a bleak, black night Tuesday when Orange Coast's Pi' rates and Pomona's Devils lived up to their nicknames and played havoc with the rosy basketball situation in San Bernardino. In one damp, dismal night, Dame Fortune double-crossed the locals and left them hanging on the ropes. The S.B.H.S.

Card cagers were knocked completely out of the title picture, when Pomona pulled out a 39-34 win, and the Valley college cagers had their string of 11 wins snapped by the Coasters. However, some redemption may be afforded tomorrow and Saturday in the V.C. gym when two red-hot rivals move in for showdowns. Coach Norm Fawley'a Cards, after three straight mediocre showings, are due for a rebound against Colton tomorrow. It should be another thriller like the 44-42 opener, In the same gym with the Jackets, when Tommy Williams rolled up 27 points.

Terrifio Tommy is favoring a bum knee, but even with that he's still better than anything the Redblrdi have to offer. Ten days ago the Cards played Chaffey for first place; jt Friday they played Riverside second, and now they take on "Colton for the third spot in the C.B.L. What next? Coach Ray Blake's banged-up Braves had no excuses for that unaccountable 45-43 loss to Or ange Coast, and now more than ever are in the right frame of mind for Riverside's invasion Saturday. Plastered on the gym door at the college is: Riverside 83, Orange Coast 45 Orange Coast 45, San Bernardino 43. The fact that this gives the dc fending champion Tigers a 40 point bulge on comparison should be enough to buckle the Braves down to a serious task ahead.

But there arc a couple of other factors, too, that help put the Indians in a mean mood. The Riverside press, in making underhanded cracks at sportsmanship in San Bernardino, tries to say that "Riverside audiences, both in high school and college, are exemplary. It is rare indeed when a local crowd boos a decision by an official." (P. S. Two nights- later, the Poly Bear rooters on FIVE occasions razz-berried the refs; the S.

B.H.S. fans did the same on three occasions.) Then Riverside's mentor, Glenn Gilkcson, had this to ay to a service club recently: "A coach owes certain responsibilities to the game. If he doesn't teach good, clean basketball he's not only "jtrting the boys he coaches, but i.ving the school a bad name." P. S. Three nights later his Tigers committed some 23 fouls in gently subduing Santa Ana.

The Indians made 16 against Santa Ana.) These ridiculous, "holier-than-thou" contradictions no doubt are greeted in the local camp with hearty horselaughs. Also, it's "Gilk's" wish not to have any alien voices around his bench it upsets him too much. At the same time during the opener at Riverside last month, Coach Blake was subjected (throughout the entire game) to biting, vicious language from several rabid Riverside rooters. The Don baseball rooters used to take pride in their nauseating cheer Four Ring Figures Suspended in Hawaii Alter Tuesday Bout HONOLULU UP) Four boxing figures were suspended by the territorial boxing commission yesterday because of a main event Tuesday night which the referee stopped in the eighth round. Boxers Rudy Cruz of Los Angeles and Robert Takeshita of Honolulu were suspended and fined $2,598 each, the amount of their purses.

Licenses of Promoter Leo Leavitt and Gus Wilson, Cruz manager, were suspended Indefinitely. Before Referee Walter Cho Stopped the fight in the eighth, Cruz was floored six times, three each in the second and seventh rounds. Takeshita was knocked down once, in the second.

PHONE 3-5252 City Officials Day at PerrisHill Ball Park Fifteen amateur boxing matches have been scheduled at the San Bernardino arena tonight, and in this 8:30 bargain bill, quarter and semi-finals matches of the Golden Gloves tournament will be offered local fans.

Because of the large list of en-' tries in the Los Angeles Golden Gloves tourney, small clubs have been allotted a number of bouts In an effort to reduce the schedule. Several boys appearing tonight have fought and won their initial bouts at South Gate or at the Southwest arena in Los Angeles. One of the features of the long fistic program will be the scrap between Mario Torres, a local tournament entry, and Gil Mor ales, the Santa Ana welterweight who lost a four-round decision to Tommy Harris last week. In another attractive match Tommy Harris, Pomona southpaw, makes his initial appearance in the Golden Gloves when he meets Duran Carter, claimant to the middleweight title of Mexico. Butch Martinez, winner of the novloe title HI the Golden Gloves last year, has been matched with John Robles, Pasadena lightweight.

Promoter Max Rosen announced last night that 13 of the 15 bouts had been booked and that he would have two more matches ready today.

"He'll make Arizona a helluva fine coach," said Cravath.
