The Chitwood show, which features just about every stunt and crack-up with automobiles and motorcycles, is scheduled for 8:30 Sunday. American league baseball club would be sold by William and Charles DeWitt to Veeck. All three, however, repeatedly denied there was anything to the reports. The reference to Veeck's picking up all the numerous and normally low-priced shares of the Browns common stock apparently indicated he would be the sole owner. Heretofore ownership of the club has been exercised by those' controlling the stock which, up to now, had been held by the DeWitt brothers and valued at about $1,000, 000. These shares were cover ed by a $300,000 mortage held by the American league and also by a second mortgage of $700,000 held by a St. Louis investment broker, Mark Steinberg.
