He said that the meyer of Atlanta (T think it was the mayor but if not the mayor some other hich cit: offieial,) called the mayor of Milwankee to arrange a quiet meebing in Chicago to try am talk the matter out and reach some conclusions, The Milwaukee mayor went bo the hotel with several of fs: 1s am was not in a compronising mood.

As Somishorh anid, ‘when ‘Lon Perini brought tha Bravea to Milwaulee, there was atili a baseball taanm left in Boston, I think thexe is a possibility of governmont intervention into organised ball if the Braves go along with a Nilwaakee-be-damred attitude, The oie ra are scared of a court teat of the reserve clause which ke epa the ball players jn ‘sonathing akin to peonage —- at least in the minors, - The culprit 19 television, Smita quoted a figure which I don't recall exactly but it waa pdmthing like the Yaniwes make more money on tele vision than 12 o&her major Jeague clubs make selling tickets, And the Yanks, es of course, keep it gli, If they split the loot like the pro football leagw~a there woulgy ‘be no Milwaulwe problem. ; (Ct Hope this answers your QUeTYeocne  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Dear Mayor Allen: This will acknowledge telegram sent to me at Shamrock Hilton Hotel, Houston, extending an invitation to the Major Leagues to hold their convention in Atlanta in 1966. The invitation was extended by me to our League in session at our Annual Meeting and Bill Bartholomay urged our League to accept the invitation. Mr. John Galbreath, President of the Pittsburgh Baseball Club, extended an invitation on behalf of Pittsburgh and inasmuch as Pittsburgh had been in the League for many years and had not been selected as a c onvention site for many, many years it was the sentime nt of our League that Pittsburgh ,be given the preference. Another matter which influenced the selection of Pittsburgh was the indication that the minor league convention would be held in Columbus, Ohio in 1966 and we try and meet in a major l e ague city as near the site of the minor l eague convention as appears practicable. I hope to get to Atlanta sometime this spring to see the beautiful new s tadium you are c onstructing and which I am happy t o know will be the hom e of the Braves in 1966.
