EIGHT MEDrORP (OHEOOW) American League Rejects Sale Of A's to Philadelphia Group By OSCAR FRALEY . New York (U.R) Kansas City" almost dead hopes of ob taining the Philadelphia Athle tic flared into new life today now that the American league has blocked the sale of the team to a Philadelphia syndicate. "I still hope to bring the A's to Kansas City," said Chicago real estate man Arnold Johnson. "They, the league's club owners ' turned down my competitor and . naturally that makes me feel op : tlmlstic. I will meetith my at torneys shortly, to discuss our . next move." 1 In Kansas City, the once-d-!-' appointed fans weren't letting their enthusiasm .carry - them away but Mayor William E. " Kemp declared, ."Our feelings have not changed We'll still be awfully happy to have them," said Kemp. ' ' -. Johnson Only Bidder Left Johnson's Kansas City group was left alone in the bidding for the Athletics' franchise when the American league club owners voted in a meeting here against approval of the Mack family's sale of the' team to an eight-man . Philadelphia syndicate. . 1 Besides selling to Johnson, the only alternative that seems open to the Macks now would be to go on operating the team them selves and that chances of that seem remote. But there is no certain solu tion of the problem in sight and Dan Topping, owner of the New York Yankees who spearheaded the opposition to the Philadel phia group, admitted as much when he said, "Now we are Tight back where we started from month ago." . -v...- And at least two owners Clark Griffith of the Washington Senators "and Walter O. (Spike) Briggs of the Detroit Tigers in sist they still are opposed to moving the team to Kansas City. Griffith believes he and. Briggs may be Joined in their opposl . tion to Kansas City by the Bos ton Red Sox and Chicago White ' Sox.. - y. . Mack Appeal y, ' ' Transfer of a franchise to a new city requires a vote of six of the eight league club owners, and thus a move might be blocked by the anti-Kansas City group. But Johnson1 maintains that a new vote on his offer isn't necessary, since the league voted approval of a transfer to Kansas City at its meeting in Chicago on Oct. 12. , "Yesterday's action bore out my contention that the club was . really sold to me In Chicago," said Johnson. . Rejection of the Philadelphia group came after a 6V4-hour meeting, which began with the . owners listening to a personal plea - from 92-year-old Connie Mack for approval of the deal. . The beloved "Mr. Mack" made his appeal, then rested in anoth er room while the owners delib erated. He came back to listen to the vote that went against him, then' left the room on the arm of his- chauffeur-valet and walked shakily away with tears in his eyes. Martinez Choice To Subdue Fiore New York U.R) Tonight's return TV-radio bout between welterweights Vinoe ' Martinez and Carmine Fiore at Madison Square Garden shapes up as an excellent fight, for a change. Handsome Martinez of Pater- son, N. J seventh-ranking con tender, is favored at 12-8 to win again over Brooklyn's unranked but dangerous left-hooker in the scheduled 10-rounder. Before their first bout on Jan. 30, 1953, in the Garden, "Violent Vlnce" was favored at 8-1. He won the unanimous decision by a good margin but had his knees buckled by left hooks in the fourth and 10th rounds. . Despite that victory, the odds are much lower for tonight be cause Martinez now is in the throes of serious managerial dif ficulties and because Flore is be . lieved to be the "sharper" due to the better brand of his recent opponents.
