An agreement paving the way for Veek and associates to buy the controlling interest in the American league club fvora Bill and Charile DeWitt was a n .Gs nounced Thursday. Veeck was asked whether St. Louis could expect the side at tractions he ottered as owner ot the Milwaukee Brewenc and the Cleveland Indians.

The sale of the DeWitt brothers' 58 percent interest is contingent upon Veeck's ability to purchase other outstanding stock until he has &5 percent of the total stock.

Cowboy Carlson In Bout Sc'urday To go along with the Stojark-La-Chappelle title match next Satur day night in the Roseburg wrest ling ring, Con Bruno and Cowboy Carlson, winner of the $200 battle royal purse last Saturday night, will go at it in a semi-final match that has feature attraction char acteristics. Bruno, making his first Rose burg appearance, is the "Mr. S-by-5" of the wrestling ring, an ex AAU wrestling champion dating back to the year 1936, when some of the roughest, ruggedest grap- plers in the history of American I wrestling were competing in AAU I battles. Carlson is well-known in Rose , burg wrestling circles, but Bruno is strictly a mystery man. One thing about Bruno Uiat is no mys tery, however, is that he is power ful. He was booked for a match in Washington one night, entered I the ring, went to his corner, tugged on the ropes to loosen nis muscles and pulled the corner pu.it over. Next Saturday's lead match will feature the title fracas between Pacific Coast Junior Champion Frank Stojack and Maurice l.a-Chappelle.
