in Atlanta are interested" Shea said "but in terested in the people who can come up with 'the right Atlanta people behind them people with a local flavor and with sound financial backing got to have a stadium commitment What is impression of the Chicago group? he said enthusiastic They have financial backing But they have no Atlanta connections I have instructed them to go to Atlanta and make the proper connections get the right Atlanta people interested in them behind them then come Shea said at one time that the Continental League was rather cool toward association with Earl Mann mainly because it seemed Mann had lost his interest in baseball in Atlanta Has Mann shown any interest in the Continental League? "He has been in touch with Mr (Branch) Shea said "but I think it had anything to do with this say this now though If Mr Mann should come up with the right people and the financial support then he might be the right man for the Cracker Option Means Nothing If the group from Chicago should purchase the Crackers though they have territorial rights to Atlanta? mean a Shea said would mean they have a Southern Assn franchise and nothing else have to move it to some other city if we came in there They block us out of the city with a minor league franchise They'd be killing themselves All have is a team with no place to Then this cleared up the "moving the reference in wire service stories the other Shea said was referring to the Southern Assn not the Continental League The minor leagues have been talking about $3000000 damages tor claimed by the Continental League this put a crimp into plans? "That's a bunch of Shea said "and you can say I said this "1 give a darn what any of these minor league presidents say If get off their rears and do something start looking around for new cities for their leagues then they'd be doing their job All trying to do is stand in the way of progress Can you imagine them trying to hold Atlanta to the Southern Assn when the city has clearly shown it want minor league ball any more Why being ridiculous all Utterly ridiculous trying to do is stand in the way with their hands out trying to pick up free money and for what? Nothing What has the Southern Assn got to collect for in Atlanta? Nothing The league is dead This is the picture then Purchase of the Crackers would assure the Chicagoans of nothing but ownership of a Southern Assn franchise Shea has set forth the essentials for their acceptance by the Continental League Their next move is to establish an Atlanta flavor both in financing and taste They don't need the money but they do need the aroma BB SO I 6 ft 0 bv Mossi Hon oc hick MOBILE Ala Aug Southern Assn headquarters Saturday notified pires Walter Welaj and Ed Ohlin ger that the Atlanta New Orleans suspended game of Aug 19 has been ruled a with the Crackers a 9 8 winner The game second of a double header was sus pended after eight innings because of the 12:20 ami curfew Rain the ncrt night Atlanta's last scheduled 19 )9 date with New Orleans prevented completion of the Aiianta Smunal ANO THE ATLANTA CONSTITUTION TERRIBLE TED AND HIS Williams Nears Lou the sixth inning when the Red Sox blasted Mossi with a five run ioo io5 1 explosion oon ftift 3 I 8 0 0 0 0 ASSOCIATION 27 34 37 35 40 36 49 By URMAN BISHER Atlanta Journal Sports Editor Now the picture begins to clear The early mist rises from the meadow relationship to the Continental League comes into sharper focus this after a revealing telephone conversation with William A Shea founder of the new major league of baseball Two weeks ago Monday two men from Chicago dropped out of the sky into Atlanta They appeared at Ponce de Leon Park pre pared to offer Earl Mann a price for an option to purchase the :1 Atlanta Crackers meaning the local Southern Assn franchise Mann told the two men Robert B1 Chatz and Jack A Shaffer that thev i could have the option and that it would cost them nothing Chatz and Shaffer were given until Oct 1 to determine if thev wanted to exercise the option Jf they decided to buy the price of the franchise would be determined then A stipulation was made that the price would not he more than $100000 nor less than $10000 Events here moved so smoothly that Chatz and Shaffer went back to i report to their 16 associates to Chicago with unbridled enthusiasm i They had taken the first big step toward establishing a Continental League franchise in Atlanta If there were to he no third mainr league then they had made what they considered the proper move toward inserting foot in the door in case of American and National League expansion This was the dream of a young man who had once worked in the office of the Chicago Cubs who loved baseball and who had all of his born days lived for a shot at something like this His name was Lee Stern whose background in Chicago is substantially sup ported financially and otherwise Chicago Cleveland New York Baltimore Detroit Boston Kansas City Washington SATURDAY'S RESULTS Boston 7 Detroit 1 Chicago 1 Washington 0 Cleveland 4 Baltimore 2 Kansas City 8 New York 7 (10 innings) SUNDAY'S GAMES New York at Chicago (2 Ditmar (8 8) TerrL vs W5nn and Shaw (12 4) Washington at Kansas City (2 Woodshick (0 3) and Pascual (11 9) vs Daley (15 7) and Kucks (6 9 Boston at Cleveland Brewer (M and Schroll (1 3) vs Perry (8 5) ana iran'in i i Baltimore at Detroit Portocarrero ano waiKer ia vs and Bunninx (12 10) AMERICAN 72 71 61 59 60 57 57 49 Baumann (W 5 2) Mossi (L 11 8) 5 1 3 Sisler 2 2 3 Stump 1 Ey Baumann (Kaline) (Green) Umont Berry 1 laherty 2:17 A 8532 NATIONAL 51 56 56 61 64 63 69 73 Pct Behind 57548541504484479452 416 RESULTS San TiaiKiS(o 8 Philadelphia 1 Pittsburgh 2 Los Angeles 0 A Cmannati 11 St Louis 4 Milwaukie 7 3 Chicago 0 2 si GAMES San rancisco at Philarieinhia Sanioid (12 10) and isher (2 4) vi Cardwell (7 7) and Keegan (0 0 I iib Angeles at Pittsburgh Drys dale (15 7) and Sherry (4 2 vs Shad dix (9 9) and Law (14 7) St Louts at Cincinnati Miller 2) vs Newcombe (11 6) Chicago at Cwcarelli (4 1) vs Buhl (10 8) DETROIT ah b' I 5 2 2 0 Yost 3b 2 Hams lb 3 12 2: dZemial 1b I 1 1 1 Oi Kuenn rf 4 111 Kaline cf 4 111!
