The tournament committee has Veeck May Move The Browns to West Coast LOS ANGELES (AP) Bill Veeck has promised Los Angeles county and city officials that if they can purchase the local baseball park the American League will permit him to bring the St.

Louis Browns major league franchise here next year, the Times said today. The park is owned by P. K. Wrigley, who holds the franchises both for the Los Angeles Angels of ihe pacific Coast League and the Chicago Cubs of the National League. Paul Zimmerman, sports editor of the Times, said Veeck made his proposition to authorities here during a visit several weeks ago.

Move Okayed by League Last spring Veeck made un successful attempt to move the Browns to Baltimore when other American League owners turned down his bid. Later the National League approved transfer of the Boston Braves franchise to Milwaukee, Zimmerman's frontpage story said that if some civic authority purchases Wrigley Field, present of the Angels here, it would be enlarged at an early date. Present capacity is 20,000, with assessed Valuation more than The Times said: Veeck returned to Los Angeles yesterday for further discussions of the matter but could not be extended an invitation to the pub- lice to view the matches. No admission fee will be charged. Country Club professional Paul Farrington today issued a call for 100 caddies for the tournament.

Fees will be $2 for 18 holes. Caddies should report to Farring at the pro shop. reached for comment last night. In Chicago, Jimmy Gallagher, business manager of the Cubs, continued receipt oi letter from a Los Angeles civic representative inquiring whether Los Angeles Wrigley Field could be purchased in order to make Veeck's proposition workable. Gallagher said he didn't know what Wrigley's reply would be.

The owner was reported out of town. Should Wrigley agree to sell, he aparently would have two alternatives: 1. Sell the park and transfer the Angel franchise elsewhere. 2. Demand that the buyer purchase both the park and the local franchise rights.

the present unsatisfactory condition of the Pacific Coast League, Wrigley might be induced to sell now whereas it was unlikely in other years," Zimmerman continued. "Despite the fact that the league has been given open classification, it has shown no visible advancement. Several clubs are in at least bothersome financial straits and Paul Fwgan. owner of the San Francisco Seals, has been quoted as saying the league is dying."

sible major league site. In Kansas City last night, Mayor William E. Kemp said: "There is all the logic in the world for the Browns to move to Kansas City. The Browns are not supported in St. Louis and there is no wonder that they are a drag in the league in view of the lack of support." He said, however, he would pose the purchase by the city Blues Stadium now owned by the New York Yankees, unless assured a major league franchise.

The stadium is used by the Kankees Kansas City club of the American Association. The Yankee organization has expressed willingness to sell the sta clium. T3he mayor said that if an agreement is reached on the price "the next step will be to confer with owners of the St. Louis Browns or other major league clubs in an effort to obtain assurance of a major team."
