McNamee said the Eagles didnt know where he was. Hell see it in the papers and call us, the president said.

It was learned that before the stockholders met Friday to place the Eagles on the block, Bamess, who lives in suburban Warrington, made a $4.5 million offer through attorney John Schwartz. Schwartz reportedly said Bar-ness, a vice president and director of the William Penn Racing Association in Bucks County, was prepared to make a cash deposit of any amount within 24 hours. Schwartz was quoted as telling the stockholders Barness wanted to keep the ownership in Philadelphia, instead of turning it- over to outsiders. Bamess was declared ready to buy 51 per cent of the stock and retain as many of the original stockholders who wished to stay. McNamee and Mike ONeill, a shareholder and president of the Liberty Bell Association, were authorized by the 65 stockholders to conclude a sale as swiftly as possible.

The current Eagles were purchased in 1949 by loo men who put up $3,000 each. The sale price sets the value of each share today at a minimum of $50,000. We are instructed to carry on negotiations with people who have indicated they would buy the club, McNamee said. The team will stay in Philadelphia, positively. There is no intention of ever leaving Philadelphia.

Besides, the National Football League wouldnt leave it leave. Browns interest in the Eagles has been known for many weeks. Other groups made tentative feelers, but it was apparent the NFL and Commissioner Pete Ro. zelle looked kindliest in the direction of Brown, who made Cleveland an outstanding team. McNamee said a substantial majority of the stockholders voted to sell, motivated by the price offered for the stock.

Karen Yen- Ban-Boxing Advocates Win Round SACRAMENTO (UPI)-Ban-box-ing advocates won an early round in the legislature yesterday The legislative counsel ruled that the legislature can constitutionally request the Athletic Commission to suspend all existing professional boxing licenses. A resolution, now pending before the legislature, asks the commission to suspend all promoter licenses until the people can vote whether they want to abolish the sport.

The resolution is sponsored by two assemblymen, Carl A. Brit-schgi, R-Redwood City, and Alan Pattee, R-Salinas. But the counsels opinion does not state whether the commission can constitutionally suspend the licenses. Opponents of the resolution have stated it would be unconstitutional for the commission to take the action because the voters legalized boxing by constitutional amendment in 1924 and they are the only ones who can vote it out. Britschgi and Pattee also have a constitutional amendment before the legislature to abolish professional boxing in California.

If approved by a two-thirds vote in both houses, it would go on the 1964 general election ballot. Britschgi said he would take his first action on the amendment May 1 in the Assembly Committee on Governmental Efficiency and Economy. Well get it out of committee, I have no doubts about that, said Britschgi. I also think well get it past the floor. But the Senate is another question.

"Weve just paid Milwaukee $950,000 for that fella cash, raved an elated Casey Stengel, moments after Hunt doubled off reliever Claude Raymond to snap the Braves seven-game winning streak. Pounded on all sides by his joyous Met teammates, who acted as if they had just clinched the pennant, Hunt fought for breath without fully realizing for the moment he enabled the Mets to better by one game their 0-9 season start of a year ago. The boy hits very good in the pinches, Stengel was saying in his private office.
