MILWAUKEE DEAD,
BRAVES WANT MOVE
CINCINNATI, Wl — The Mil
waukee Braves will be playing
baseball in Atlanta in 1964 unless
civic and government officials in
Milwaukee can guarantee a new
television and radio contract in
excess of $1 million, the Associ
ated Press learned Saturday.
“While no definite commitment
has been made to the Atlanta dele
gation, only a complete change of
heart, which is very unlikely at
the moment, will keep the Braves
from moving to Atlanta for next
season,” a high Braves source
said.
At the same time, two men
high in baseball’s hierarchy re
vealed that the Braves made an
informal request to move the
franchise at a meeting in Chicago
Sept. 10 — and were promised by
seven of the other nine clubs that
they will vote for a move if a
formal request is made.
A franchise shift requires the
affirmative vote of eight of the
10 clubs.
Bill Dewitt, president and own
er of the Reds, said he will vote
for a franchise shift if the Braves’
officials feel it is in their best
interest to move.
“Anybody who has sufficient in
telligence to acquire a major
league club,” Dewitt said, “sure
ly has good enough judgement to
be able to preserve their invest
ment. I'm not familiar with the
situation in Milwaukee, but I
would have to accept the judgment
of the group that owns the club.”
One source said he had been
told by Braves’ officials, who
have watched attendance dwindle
from 2.215,404 in 1957 to 766.027
last year, that industry is moving
out of Milwaukee, department
store sales are down, the city is
not progressing, and “they must
get out.”

former Grid Star
Has Proof Payments
Received Were Loans
MEMPHIS, Term — Charley j
Conerly, former star pro football 1
quarterback, said Saturday his fi
nancial records will prove checks
made out to him by accused gam
bler Maurice I. Lewis of Memphis
were for repayment of loans.
The onetime star of the New
York Giants of the National Foot
ball League also said he was un
aware of any alleged gambling
dealings by Lewis, a real estate de
veloper who was indicted in Shel
by County, Tennessee, Jan. 8 on
football gambling charges.
Conerly s comments were made
from his farm in Clarksdale, Miss.,
to the Memphis Commercial-Ap
peal in the wake of the NFL’s dis
closure in New York that the
league is "assembling all the
facts” on checks written by Lewis
and cashed bv Conerly.
1
i The Memphis Press-Scimitar, in
| a copyright story by James H.
White, revealed Friday that five
checks endorsed by Conerly total
ing $9,575, were produced at Lew
j is' recent bankruptcy hearing.
One of the checks, for $3,500,
was dated Nov. 26. 1961, about a
| month before Conerly’s retirement
after 14 years with the Giants.
The office of NFL Commission
er Pete Rozelle said their top in
i vestigator, Jim Hamilton, is look
ing into the details but called it
■ an inquiry rather than an inves
: tigation.
DENVER \Jf’ — Harold Stockton
isn't a man to despair privately in
the face of family misfortune.
His wife left him, returning to
her home with their two daught
ers. Stockton has erected three
white stone markers on his front 1
lawn with these inscriptions:
“In loving and reverent mem
ory to my beloved Jane, Karen,
Lisa.”
The neighbors are complaining,
but a policeman said “There’s
nothing we can do.”

Comrades in Arms
“Now is the time for all good
men — and dogs — to come to the
aid of their country.”
In one form or another this
call to arms is a lot older than
the first typewriter. Eons before
home and fam
marauders.
As man’s battles grew more
organized and complex, so did
the role of his war dogs. Accord
ing to dog authority Clarence C.
Fawcett of the Purina Dog Care
Center, St. Louis, Mo., “packs of
aimored dogs studded with
spikes and razor-sharp blades
were sent rampaging into enemy
lines. The Painted Porch of the
Acropolis at Athens shows a
man and dog who fought side by
side at the Battle of Marathon.
Caesar, Alexander the Great
and Napoleon were all advocates
of four-legged fighting forces. In
fact, Charles V of Spain was so
enthusiastic about his war dogs
he held them up to his troops as
examples of courage and loyalty.
In 1942, the U. S. Army estab
lished the K-9 Corps, which
trained more than 19,000 dogs
for patrol, guard and medical
corp duty. Germany, Russia,
England and France also recog
nized the dog’s usefulness in
times of strife. All had formi
dable canine units. Thousands of
wounded soldiers were located
by Red Cross do s.
Today, there are 4,000 dogs
serving with our Army and Air
Force. They are proving to be
alert and faithful sentries, espe
cially at missile sites and highly
secret bases.
