Kansas City ' CHICAGO lf American League club owners voted unanimously last night to shift the Philadelphia Athletics to Kansas City. The decision at the end of a hec tic nine-hour meeting all but broke up the once-esteemed position in baseball of the Mack family. It signaled the finish of one vivid chapter on the national pastime that was etched by the pioneering Connie Mack and opened what should be another under Chicago financier Arnold Johnson. It was Johnson, 47, a top man in a business that grossed 70 mil lion dollars last year the Auto . matic Oanteen Co. of America who found that money on the bar relhead speaks loudest. In the final analysis, his bid of $3,375,000 to buy out the Macks Vau 1?alA nni ronnta Including Connie Mack Stadium, was irre sistible. WiH Harridge, president of the American League, said it was the only "sound" offer made. Dtil Don Monday Officially, the deal for the 54-year-old franchise will not be closed until Monday. In what was assumed to be merely a gesture, Roy Mack was given until 11 a.m., EST, on that day to announce if be will sell his stock to Johnson. This was regarded only a small technicality and a league spokes man said that Roy "told the meet.

Added to the indebtedness, Kansas City Baseball Fans Wake Up To A's Transfer KANSAS CITY HI "Wonder- ful." That one word best fits the feel ing of Kansas City baseball fans who woke up Wednesday morn ing to the realization this solid baseball town of the midlands was in the act of going major league. Most of tne city was asieep when the news broke late Tuesday night that American League own ers had voted unanimously to per mit Arnold Johnson, Chicago fin ancier, to buy the financially de crepit Philadelphia Athletics and move the club to Kansas City. M-ny of the fans who had a Tag Teams At It Again This Week The defeated team of Luigi Ma cera and Steve Gob will get an other chance at the dreaded Kam eroff brothers Saturday night when they tangle at the Armory for the Northwest Australian tag team championship. Maccra and Gob protested that their defeat of last week was dus to an illegal trip put on Macera when Ivan (Kameroff) was out side the ring. Matchmaker Elton Owen, who was forced to referee the card last week said afterwards that he call ed it as he saw it but that he wanted no more of refereeing for this brawl. He has acquired vet eran referee Harry Elliot to do the job. The winners of Saturday nights match will be unofficially rec ognized as the new Northwest champions pending official recog nition by the various city com missions. Full House Expected A full house was on hand last week and fans are advised to pick up their reservations earlv at Pow. ell's for this week's engagement. two supporting matcnes send Angelo Poffo against Dick Torio in the semi-final and Luis Martinez against Jim LnRock in the 20-min-ute or one-fall special event. Last week Torio upset the bigger Poffo with a backward handspring followed by a dropkick and a press. Poffo was burned up, claim ing luui ue wnsii i given a 11111 j count. He now figures that he will ' atone for this misjudgment and wear his smaller foe down over the longer semi-tinal route. Two more of the new sensations tangle in the special. Martinez, winner on a foul against Blaekic Miller last week meets the ex Olympic champion, LaRock. Mar tinez is living up to Pepper Go mez' recommendations while La Rock is the clean-living athlete who never lost a college match Huskies Off For Texas SEATTLE Ufl Coach Johnny Cherberg and the Washington Huskies will board a Texas-bound plane here Thursday for. a flight to Waco and Saturday's interscc- tional football game with Baylor. Cherberg ran the reserves through a stiff workout in home drills Tuesday. Noting the regu lars are snowing the strain of three tough games, Cherberg said the reserves probably will see lots of action Saturday. 1 lie coach said the backficld that performed so well against UCLA last week will start against Baylor. Cherberg also announced two Washington linemen are being dropped from the squad for dis ciplinary reasons. They are Bert Watson, junior guard from Tur lock, Calif., and Georgo Strugar, sophomore tackle from Ronton, Wasn. Cougars Pass, Run PULLMAN.

Casey Says Flag Depends On Deals GLENDALE. Calif. ( Casey Stengel has told some of his friends in his home town that he isn't sure yet whether his Yankees will climb back into first place in the American League next year. It all depends upon what kind of deals the club is able to make dur ing the winter months. "We were all set to talk turkey with some of the clubs during the World Series," said Case, "but the thing was over before we could get down to business, so George Weiss (general manager) is getting out letters to tne other clubs, and if anything pops up he'll call me and we'll decide what to do." The Yanks are looking for pitch ing talent to back up youngsters Whitcy Ford and Bob Grim. Sten gel says he has several players ''who can run and throw real good," and he'll trade any or all to help the club. , Infielder To Be Kept Bill Skowron is one who is go. ing to be kept, Stengel says.

They'd better put. first things first and get some rebuilding programs co ins," But Casey still wouldn't go so far as to say the National is a stronger league.

British Suspect Red Racing Trick LONDON W The British mean to find .out Wednesday night in the London vs. Moscow track and field meet if they really were the victim of an Iron Curtain conspiracy. j On Aue. 29 in Bern. Switzer land, at the European champion- snips, Britain's Chris Chataw-iy kept a close watch on Emil Za topek, Czechoslovakia's great dis tance man, in the 5,000 meters race. While Chataway watched Zatopek, Vladimir Kuc ran off with the race and set a world mark. Kuc lives In Russia, headouar- ters for those back of the Iron Curtain. After the race Chataway admit ted he got caught watching the wrong man. And, dozens of sports writers, newspapers and hundreds of fans said it sure looked to them as if Zatopek played a swell de coy to detract Chataway while Kuc went out and won, ' Chataway and Kuc tangle asaln Wednesday on the fast truck at the White City Stadium. With star miler Dr. Roger Bannister on the sideline because of medical duties, the Chataway-Kuc meeting is the top attraction of the meet. The Moscow team which In cludes athletes who must have moved to Moscow very recently brought nine world record holders. It is unquestionably the nucleus of Russia's 1956 Olympic team which is expected to give the Americans a nara ngnt at Melbourne. But most of them are a year or two short of their prime. . California Fans Defend Young Pug LOS ANGELES 11 The na tion's television fans and auite a few boxing experts formed a dim view ot tne ngstuig future of California's young heavyweight, Charley Powell, when he was stopped by experienced Charlev Norkus at San Francisco last week. Submitted Tuesday, however, were a few dissenting reactions. "That was nothing for a voune kid fighting his 13th time," said u weiu, wno just Happens to own heavyweight champion of the world, Rocky Marciano. Hard-shelled Babe McCoy, a genuine student of boxing and a matchmaker in Los Angeles, saw the bout in person, just as he has seen the ex-professional football player in most of his scraps, ever did in his brief career," "Powell looked better than he McCoy declared flatly. McCoy Interested The cherubic Babe, admittedly interested in Powell as an attrac tion for his Olympic Auditorium, added: ".I'm convinced Powell will be a great fighter. Barring, of course, injury to his hands." Hand injuries are common with inexperienced boxers. And when Powell dislocated a fineer in his powerful right hand in the second round, "he was forced to take the defensive and he didn't have the equipment to cope with a strong, tough guy liie Norkus," McCoy said. Stephen (Suevl Welch, who stepped back into the fieht scene qc suo a joijb noj aroueu; oj sence from the active managing ranns, said Fowell will continue to fight "Jack Demosev didn't quit when Jim Flynn knocked him out in one round. Did Mickey Walker quit when he got stopped in nis eighth tight? "One fight, one round, don't make or break a career." Ducks Stress Defense EUGENE, Ore. Wl Coach Len Casanova stressed goal line de fense Tuesday in drills for the Saturday NCAA "Game of the Week" with Southern California. Casanova said the Ducks, whose stubborn defense helped eke out 13-7 win over the Trojans last sea son, can repeat Saturday by turn ing in a matching performance. The game, to be played in Mult nomnh Stadium at Portland, will he t-'lcfised nationally. DEAD TIRED?

Westerners take the top three places in individual passing. The national leader in both pass ing and total offense is Oregon quarterback George Shaw. Despite some sprains wmcn nave piagueu him two weeks, the Webfoot star has completed 41 passes for 580 yards and gained a toiai ot wsi yards.

But the PCC isn't content to sit back and stare at those figures. Oreeon. drilline for its TV game of the week with USC at Portland, worked on goal line defense. The Trojans prepped with an extensive aerial drill and saved some time for defense against the passes they expect from Shaw. Quarters Get Notice The key technique for signal calling came in for attention, too. "We've spent more time with our quarterbacks this season than ever before," USC coach Jess Hill said. "I guess it's just a question of the signnl callers getting more experience." Indications were that Stanford will take to the air, at Los An geles against UCLA. Sophomore quarterback John B r o d i e will start Sam Morley, Stanford's great pass catcher of last year, was added to the coaching staff to soup up the ends.
