Auto Races Cut
In Favor of Joie
Chit wood's Show
There will be no customary
Saturday night auto racing pro
gram at Hollywood bowl this
week, officials of Valley sports,
the sponsoring organization,
have announced.
The race program has been
cancelled in order that the bowl
premises may be readied for the
invasion of Joie Chitwood s au
to thrill circus Sunday night.
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.
