CONTACT: INFOPLAN A WORLD-WIDE PUBLIC RELATIONS SERVICE November 2, 1964 - Chicago, Illinois 615 Peachtre e Street, N. E. Atlanta, Georgia 30308 • Phone 872-9592 The Braves 1 baseball club today filed Answer in Federal Court in Milwaukee, charging that Milwaukee County, not the Braves, breached the lease which Milwaukee County claims requires the Braves to play in Milwaukee in 1965. Braves' Answer says that although the lease runs until December 31, 1965, it had a.n implied covenant that the County of Milwaukee would not interfer with, obstruct or frustrate the Braves enjoyment of the lease. The Answer asserts that in malicious disregard of such covenant, Eugene Grobschmidt, Chairman of the County Connnissioners of Milwaukee County, broadcast public statements implying that persons of re- sponsibility in the Braves' management were deliberately trying to have the Braves not win games. Additionally the Answer charges that the county faile d to protect the Braves against ticket speculators operating on Stadium premises, and failed in its committment to "make up" to the Braves for f ailures of season ticket sale s and radio and TV income. The Brave s ' Answer asserts that by thes e various breaches, the County of Milwaukee deprived the Brave s of its l awful rights and r elieved it from any furthe r performance under t he l eas e .

Atlanta, Georgia 30308 * Phone 872-9592 The Braves' baseball club today filed Answer in Federal Court in Milwaukee, charging that Milwaukee County, not the Braves, breached the lease which Milwaukee County claims requires the Braves to play in Milwaukee in 1965. Braves' Answer says that although the lease runs until December 31, 1965, it had an implied covenant that the County of Milwaukee would not interfer with, obstruct or frustrate the Braves enjoyment of the lease, The Answer asserts that in malicious disregard of such covenant, Eugene Grobschmidt, Chairman of the County Commission- ers of Milwaukee County, broadcast public statements implying that persons of re- sponsibility in the Braves' management were deliberately trying to have the Braves not win games, Additionally the Answer charges that the county failed to protect the Braves against ticket speculators operating on Stadium premises, and failed in its committment to "make up" to the Braves for failures of season ticket sales and radio and TV income, The Braves' Answer asserts that by these various breaches, the County of Milwaukee deprived the Braves of its lawful rights and relieved it from any further perfor= mance under the lease. The Answer recites that the Braves' 1963 season resulted in a loss in excess of $800,000 under accounting methods approved by the Internal Revenue Service and that attendance figures show that Braves attendance has dropped from 2,215,000 in 1957 to 773,000 in 1963 and 910,000 in 1964 and alleges that 85% of the increase between 1963 and 1964 came about because Braves, in an effort to offset the disparagement of it by county officials and others, sold 119,000 tickets at reduced rates. = More = ADDITION = BRAVES' ANSWER In explaining the Braves' désire to move to Atlanta, Georgia the Answer says: "A professional baseball team cannot fulfill the avowed purpose of the League to per= petuate baseball as the national game of the United States unless it is self=<sus- taining and profitable; that it is essential that a professional baseball team be able to compete with other professionel athletic endeavors in acquiring skilled players at attractive rates of compensation; that the reduced attendance figures set forth above, and necessarily increasing costs, will result in a substantial loss.... for the current season.

Text Any textual data included in the document October 24, 1964 Mr. Hank Aaron Milwaukee Braves Milwaukee Wisconsin Dear Mr. Aaron: Having been born and raised in the South, I can understand your fears and apprehensions relative to your moving to the south with the Braves Baseball Team. But as a Senator from the State of Georgia, and the first of our group to serve in the Senate in 92 years and as one who has watched Atlanta and Georgia progress in the last decade, I can assure you that your fears today may not be well founded. Georgia has made more progress in the last five years in the area of human relations than any other southern state. Atlanta has moved in the same span of time from a segregated city to a eee city. The business community, the eity administration as well as Negroe and White leadership have join- ed forces to keep Atlanta moving forward. It is far from my intentions to convey to you that we have reached the ultimate in human relations in Atlanta. Frankly, I do not know of any ea in this country where the ultimate has been reached. It is not my intentions to infer that there is no room for improvement. To the contrary, we have a lung way to go as is true in most cities throughout the country inecludi lwaukee before achieving a society completely free of prejudice | discrimination. However, we have come a long way in the city of Atlanta. Our public facilities have been dese. regated, the golf courses, swimming pools, libraries, trans- potation feailities, hotels, motels, restuarants, the present ball - park and the ball park under construction will be compietely de- segregated. Mr. Hank Aaron Page 2 October 24, 1964 The ‘cant thing about Atlanta is that there is a spirit and an atmos of change, there is a spirit of growth and a determination on the part of Negroes ond Whites, who have pledged a continued per- petuation of this atmosphere. Im my official capacity, as a State Senater, I want to welcome you to our city. As a southerner and as a great aduiver of yours, my wife and I want to extend to you and to family the hospitality of our home and cur friendship as you resolve in your own mind the quesiion of returning to the south. With kind personal regards, I remain Yours truly, Leroy &.

For several weeks now, we have looked forward to the probability of the Braves moving to Atlanta. My 12 year old son is hoping that the baseball season will, somehow, start earlier than usual to afford him an opportu- nity to see you and other great National League performers in action. In the midst of ali of the maneuvering before and behind the scenes, the feeling of the players themselves might not have gotten just consideration. You were, therefore, correct in being concerned about your moving to Atlanta - a city in the “Deep South." The geographic relationship that Atlanta has with the deep south is the only relationship. You will find Atlanta to be a city with its eyes fixed on the future. The probleme of social change and economic advancement are present in Atlanta as they are in all other cities. The big difference here is that Atlanta ie doing something about then. You will find some of the best housing in the world available to you in Atlanta. You will. find ¢ultural and educational progress equal to any. I would implore you to give Atlanta a chance to show her affection for you and other members of the Braves’ team, It might be well to give a visit to Atlanta in the near future. I ehall be happy to give you and yours a guided tour of the city.
