STA T EMENT BY:
MA YOR IVAN ALLEN, JR. '
Sunday, September 11, 1966
I promise every citizen of At lanta that the full forces of the City
g overnm.e nt will be used to apprehend and convict the person or persons guilty
of shooting and killing Herbert Vorner and the shooting and wounding of
Roy Wright.
I further promise and pledge that Atlanta will continue without
any lessening of its efforts to elirn.inate racial dis crirnination and provide
full and equal opportunity to all its citizens.
I further pledge that in this city we will enforce the law and demand
orderly and lawful conduct from every person.
After having made these commitments to every Atlanta cifi~en,
and especialLy those who are here today and live in this neighborhood, I would
remind you that Atlanta's efforts which have exceeded the efforts of any other
American city to eliminate racial prejudice and insure the Negro citizen of
equal rights and opportunity, cannot be accomplished or carried out except
under the authority of law and order.
These two are inseparable and neither
can succeed without the other.
With full realization of this, I assure each of you and every other
Atlanta citizen that we will not tolerate racial discrimination, injustice,
lawlessness or disorder.
Neither will w e allow to go unpunished those
responsible for such deplorable and dastardly acts as were perpertrated
las t night.
I am today posting a reward of $10, 000 for infonnation t hat leads
to t he arrest and conviction of the person or person s guilty of the shoot ing
and d e ath of He r bert Vorner and the shooting and wounding or Roy W ri g h t .
�The loyal members of the Atlanta Fire Department are providing
fire protection for the citizens of Atlanta on a round the clock basis.
They
are working greatly extended hours over their normal work week of 60 hours.
Of the 225 men on duty, the added hours has resulted in 40% more manpower.
These men are well-trained and highly skilled, and are dedicated to protecting
the people of Atlanta.
As a result of this increase in manpowei--, beginning Tuesday four
additional fire stations will be put into service on a 24 hours basis.
These four
stations will be activated day by day.
Most of the sorrounding governments have reaffirmed our long
standing Mutual Assistanct Pact of providing firemen and equipment should
an emergency arise.
I am moat grateful for this added help.
In addition; the Atlanta Police Depa.6tment has provided men at
each firehouse to take over many non-firefighting responsibilities; thereby
relieving our skilled men of those routine duties.
In case of an emergency,
other city employees are on a stand-by basis to render clean-up assistance.
l know all people of Atlanta will join me in expre sing appreciation for thi
cooperation.
Beginning Tuesday morning, the P r onnel Dep rtment is
ace lerating its

�STATEMENT BY IVAN ALLEN, JR.
MAYOR OF ATLANTA
On Civil Disorder in Atlanta, Tuesday, September 6, 1966
The disorders in the Summerhill neighborhood in Southeast
Atlanta last evening were the result of a deliberate attempt by certain
members of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee {Snick) to
.¢re ate an incident of this very nature.
We can be thankful there were no serious injuries.
Some 10
police officers received minor injuries, mostly as a result of tear gas.
Assessment of property damage has not been completed, but
it does not appear to be too severe.
Five City police cars were damaged as a result of bricks or
bottles thrown through windows.
Seventy-two arrests were made by the Police Department.
Conditions at this time indicate that the violence has ended and
calm exists throughout the area.
The Atlanta Police Department is now working two twelve-hour
shifts until further notification by Chief Jenkins.
All off-duty firemen have been placed on alert.
The firemen on duty during the night responde d promptly a nd
efficiently to several calls in the area.
The spark of viole nce ignite d by a few r e ckle ss and irrespons ible
i ndi v i duals touche d off an explosion of civil disorde r that s hatte red Atlanta ' s
long re c_ord of racial amity.

I must again commend the members of the Atlanta Police
D e pa r tment for their prompt response and handling of this situation.
The cit i z ens of Atlanta, and especially the good citizens of SwnmerhillMecha~icsville, can be justly proud of their police officers this morning.
I am not talking from hearsay when I say that every citizen of
Atlanta owes a debt of wholehearted gratitude to our dedicated police
officers, for I was personally in the thick of the disturbance throughout
those frightful hours of mob hysteria.
No one need make charges to me about police brutality during
this disorder, I saw plenty of brutality, but it was being used against the
police officers, not by them.
From what I heard with my own ears and saw with my own eyes
in the center of this melee, I feel certain that hundreds of normally good
citizens were inflamed ;:out of their normal senses.
They were victimized
by those who sought to incite violence.
We ~in(;cr.ely app;r@~iat@ Urn e.~ti,in gf G©v@rn@~ Ga d Sen§i1e'e
and the Georgia Department of Public Safety for the backup men and
equipment provided to us.
It is a tragedy that a few irresponsible and misdirected youths
have such utter disregard and contempt for their fellow man that they
place the lives and property of innocent citizens in serious jeopardy.

®GRAM
. . SNCC'S grass-roots approach is· designed to
. . . build indigenous, trained leadership . . . in
small communities and urban centers of the South,
in high schools and college campuses .. .
SNCC workers organize and aid local and
stale wide movements, some never identified as
SNCC proj~cts. This is part of its program to insure a continuous comm1lted movement across the
South.
This program has captured the idealism and
imagination of students and adults all across the
country, and today, more than 150 SNCC field°
workers are engaged in the always dangerous,
often dreary and tedious work of organizing people in the most difficult areas of the South •
Mississippi - Southwest Georgia
Central Alabama - E astern Arkansas
(.
. SNCC · field secretaries receive subsistence
salaries when funds are available, but at times
have chopped cotton and picked squash to secure
food and a bed. They live in the community they
work in, in the homes of local residents and in
freedom houses, for the weeks and months required to break through generations of fear-enforced apathy and despair. A SNCC worker's
skills and drive help a community begin. Sustained_ personal_ con_tact, discussion and persuasion
and his de~ermina~1on to stay with the job gives
. a · community confidence to seek and assert their
rights and to make their own decisions.

We are here to protest the latest outrage in a series against
the twelve B2ck :i:eople now held captive in the Atlanta Stockade for protesting the dying of Black men in the racist illegal War in Vietnam.
First of all, the twelve were seized illegally by the Atlanta
Police as they demonstrated at the Induction Center in protest
of the dying of Black men in the racist illegal War in Vietnam.
They were subjected to a "KANGAROO Court Trial" under racist
Judge T.C. Little who prejudiced himself by saying that
because he had a son in Vietnam who is fighting to defend
the principles ot this country be had to give the protesters
maximum sentences.
Thirdly, Dwight Williams was brutally beaten under the orders
of Captain Redding inside the jail. Part of this beastiality
was wi tnessed by William's attorney, Attorney Howard Moore.
In keeping with this country•s scheme to emasculate Bla ck men,
the ten men were forced to shave the ir beards and mustaches.
We know of no law that Black men wearing beards violate.
We protest the holding of Donald Stone and Simuel Shutz in
the County Jail five days after their bond had been paid.
We demand that the five days be credited to their sentences
at the Atlanta Stockade. on. Sunday August 4, we were not permitted to see Robert Moore
and Larry Fox because they were in the hole. Both ·1oore and
Fox suffer from Hay Fever. Both had been assigned to work in
a dusty area which would only heighten their hay fever miseries. They asked to be transfered to a less dusty detail.
Instead, they l.jvere thrown in the hole. This was on Thursday.
Fox, who refuses to cooperate with the beastial and unjust
penal system, has been on a hunger strike since incarceration, August 18.
is
The stockade physician a racist bigot who cannot deal with
Black Men. Therefore if any of the group ge ts sick, there ls
no one to treat them.
The group is completely isolated from the rest of the prisoners.
we charge that this is a form of political harassement just
as the illegal arrest and sadistic beating of one of our
workers, Robert Weaver.
We also note that the City Jail, Atlanta Stockade, and the
Fulton County Jail are blatantly segregated in spite of the
1964 Civil Rights Ac t.
If these conditions are not corrected and we continue to get
rep orts of cruel beastial treatment of prisoners, then we
will have to return to earlier forms of demonstrations,
in cl ud i ng sitting in at the :/fayor•s office.

Dear Sport s Fans:
I have often heard it said that your words will come back to haunt you •
and you have heard me say many times that we built the Atlanta Stadium on
ground that we didn 1t own • • • with money that we didn't have . , • for a
t eam that we hadn' t signed • , ,
Well, 1 am glad to be haunted by those words, and can proudly say that:
We built the stadium on an excellent piece of ground, with sound financing,
and with a great te am signed to play for twenty~five years.
We look forward to a close and enduring association between the Braves and
Atlanta .
Georgia has made tremendous progress in
many fie l ds during the past few y ears, and
the coming of the Brave.s to Atlanta has truly
boosted our State into the "Big Leagues" of
sports.
Atlanta and Georgia offer t he Braves a
traditional Southern hospitality. Georgians
will receive wh olesOme entertainment and a
spirit of competition in an atmosphere of
fairness .
With best wi s hes for a long and prosperous
friendship, I am
A tlanta is truly the Home 0£ the Braves . This is a great baseball team in a
great City. Our fans will be the most enthusiastic a nd the most loyal •• .
and we will cheer our Braves on to the pennant, and strive to make Atlanta

BASEBALL, ITS OPPORTUNITY THE NEW MAGNA CHARTA
By ~very measurement commonly employed by the most astute
minds in America, professional baseball is today ranked as one of
the most representative American institutions.
Professional baseball has won this appraisal by no particula r,
isolated action of its own but the public's esteem has been bestowed
upon the game because, by its nature, it is an integral part of American life.
Public ·approbation has been shown in every poss ible manner.
Sixty-five millions have paid admissions to see games in one season;
sixty-one leagues in 492 cities have opened and closed - a season
intact; a cross-section of business and professional men - representative Americans, all - have become officers and directors of clubs;
the language has been enriched by the colorful expressions lifted
bodily from the playing fields, and the youth of America have found
their idols among the stars of the diamond . The womanhood of
America has taken the game to their hearts and , by virtue of their
presence, have quietly but surely encouraged restraints in word and
action upon the field without in any manner destroying the fierce,
competitive nature of the game. Yes , America has proclaimed professional baseball as one of its representative institutions. It is only
fa Lr, and perhaps it is wise, to ask the que·stion-"How has baseball
been able to occupy this spot in the affections of the American
people?"
The answer to that question is, in my opin ion, one of the most
illuminating commentaries on "The American Way" that any Ameri can could possibly make.
Baseball is a reflection of the American viewpoint respecting
every important question. This viewpoint is expressed by the nature of
the game upon the playing field and is expressed by the administrative
structure that governs the organization of professional baseball .
Baseball is American democracy in action.

HOW TO KEEP SCORE
The simple code used by Baseball Writers makes scoring
easy and adds to your enjoyment of the game. The code is based
on numbering all players by position, as follows:
1 Pitcher
2 Catcher
3 First Baseman
4 Second Baseman
5 Third Baseman
6 Shortstop
7 Left Fielder
8 Center Fielder
9 Right Fielder
Begin scoring in lower right-hand corner, showing how batter
reached base (if he did!) . Then show what occurs to him as he
circles the bases. Use lower right corner for first base; upper
right for second; upper left for third and lower left for home plate.
There are several ways to indicate base hits. One of the
simplest is by drawing a horizontal line at right lower corner. If
a hit goes to right field, run a short vertical line at RIGHT end of
the hqrizontal line; if a hit to left place the vertical line at LEFT
of horizontal line; and if hit to center, place it at CENTER of line.
If hit to an infielder, place position number of fielder at end of
vertical line. Thus, a single through second base would be shown
by making a horizontal line with a short vertical line at right of
it, and a "4" marked at its end.

In case of an extra base hit, extend vertical line to second
base for two-bagger; if a triple, run vertical line
to second, continue horizontally from second to
third base; and for a home run , run line all the
way around square and place " X" in center.
Illustration shows 3-base hit into center field .
Other
Batsman,

HB; Foul, F; Error, E; Wild Pitch, WP; Stolen Base, S;
SH; Passed Ba ll, PB; Balk, B; Strikeout, K; Called
CK; Fielder's Choice, FC.
An out is indicated by the fielder's number. Thus a fly to left
is merely '7'. An infield out, short to first, '6-3'.
The diagram indicates that the batter singled
to left, stole second; went to th ird on a passed
ball, and was thrown out at the plate, shortstop
to catcher.

�Out of town beer is fine.
Out of town.
.
.
.
Beer was not meant to travel.
Road-weary beer just isn't as fresh and lively
as a beer brewed nearby.
Black Label is brewed nearby. In fact we
happen to have the only brewery in town. And
we have seven more breweries across the country.
So even if you're out of town, you don't have
to drink out of town beer.
You are here. So is the 15eer.

JOE TORRE
This talented young catcher from
Brooklyn, New York has been called the
best catcher in baseball. Joe has been
with the Braves for five years and is
hoping that his sixth season will be his
best one. It will take some season to
surpass the great year that Joe enjoyed
in 1964 when he hit .321 to become
d
the first
catcher in nine years to h't
1
over .300, hit 20 or more home runs,
and drive in at least 100 runs in the
same season. Joe was the National
League' s All Star catcher (n 1965, and
many observers who saw him at f irst
base felt that he was the best in the
league at that position . Only 25 years
of age, Torre has a long career ahead
of him and by the time he calls it quits,
he may rank with the best.

Denis Men ke, a reliable shortstop
from Bancroft, Iowa, who was inju red
most of the 1965 season, is in his
fourth season wit h the Braves. Denis
was inj ured early last season in a collision with Pittsburgh's Jim Pagliaroni
at home plate. In 1964 Den is hit a
solid .283 for t he Braves wit h twenty
ho me runs an d 6 5 runs batted in .
Couple t his with a fi ne fi elding j ob
and you ca n understa nd Manager Bobby Bragan's statement "wit h a healt hy

No, you can't beat a Shuttle Bus to the

enough. Beginn ing 1½ hours before
each game, buses will leave Peachtree

Stadium. Enroute, these buses pass
through the heart of downtown Atlant a,
close to over 25,000 parking spaces.
Then, by way of special Buses-Only Lanes,
you breeze right t o t he Stadium gate,
just steps from your seat. After the game,
buses stand ready to wh isk you back
downtown i n record time.
Regular cash fares apply. Transfers
honored to and from other ATS lines.
MACK JONES
A ,f leet cent erfielder who was corn
and lives in Atlanta, Georgia and came
on strong in 1965 for the Braves is
Mack Jones. Mack, who had several 'unsuccessful trials with the Braves before
last year, left even the most skeptical
observer with t he impression that his
career wou ld end up -as a " home town
boy makes good saga" . Jones hit 31
home runs for the Braves last year and
played a good defensive center field.
Mack fi rst came up to the Braves in
1961 but a lack of selfconfidence kept
him from displaying the talent that t he
Braves officials knew he possessed.
All of that is now behind him and 1966
should be a banner year as Mack ret urns to play before the home t own
crowd.

A stylish southpaw from Fresno, California who is in his t hird season with

Spahn" who incidently is his idol. In
his last two seasons he has won 25
games. Wade began his professional
career in 1961 after graduating from
Roosevelt High, where he won All-City
and All-State honors in baseball. In
addition t o being a fine pitcher, Blasingame is one of the better hitting
pitchers in baseba ll.

a baseball playing family which lives
in Projecto Ensanche Racho Santo Domingo, D. R. Felipe has a brother Jesus
with San Francisco, and another, Mateo, with the Pirates. Had not Felipe

.297 with 23 home runs and 78 runs
batted in t o give the Braves one of t he
best lead-off men in the game. Manager Bobby Bragan describes Felipe as
" one of t he best players, on or off the

ill their 1,eagues .
The veteran second baseman of the
Atlanta Braves is a native of Mobile,
Alabama. Bolling made a tremendous
comeback for the Braves in 1965 when
he raised his batting average seventyfive points. In 1964 Frank had stumbled to a .199 average and many felt
that "he was over t he hill", but the
cagey veteran proved that he had a few
seasons left by rebounding to a .264
average. Bolling is in his 12th Major
League season and in that time he has
compiled a lifetime average of .256.
Frank is very popular with his teammates as is attested to by his being
elected player representative for the
Braves.

�MEET BOBBY BRAGAN AND THE COACHES
BOBBY BRAGAN
Bobby Bragan, field manager of the Atlanta Braves,
is a resident of Fort Worth, Texas. He is in his fourth
season as Braves Manager and before that he managed
Pittsburgh (1956 & 1957), and Cleveland (1958). Bobby
also served as a coach for the Dodgers (1960) and Colts
(1961). He played for seven seasons in the Major
Leagues with the Phillies and Dodgers as a catcher and
shortstop. Bragan has been instrumental in developing
several ball players in the Dodgers chain, one of the
best known being Maury Wills. Bobby turned Wills into
a switch-hitter and what was once a dark future was
turned into a brilliant career.
Bragan is very popular with his players and never
hesitates to take to the field in their behalf should an
argument develop. In 1965 Bobby had his club in the
thick of the pennant chase until late September. 1966
should be a different story in a warmer climate.
KEN SILVESTRI
Ken Silvestri is the hard working bullpen coach of
the Atlanta Braves. He is a m~tive of Chicago, Illinois.
Ken is in his fourth term as coach and is extremely
popular with the players. He caught for the Yankees,
White Sox and Phillies for seven years and played with
Philadelphia in the 1950 World Series. In addition to
serving as a coach with the Phillies in 1959 and 1960,
Ken managed and coached several seasons in the
minors.
JO JO WHITE
After thirty-eight years in the game, Jo Jo White
continues to add to his reputation as one of the finest
teachers of outfield, base running and bunting fundamentals in the game. He spent nine years as a fleet
outfielder with Detroit, Philadelphia, and Cincinnati and
played in two World Series. He later managed mi~or
league teams to first division finishes in seven of nine
tries, coached and scouted for Cleveland, and coached
for Detroit and Kansas City. Jo Jo attended old Tech
High School in Atlanta.
WHITLOW WYATT
"Whit's" nine year tenure as Brave's pitching coach
is one of the longest among major league coaches, and
for good reason. He has long demonstrated that he is a
master of detecting flaws in a pitcher's form and delivery and has received much of the credit f?r de~eloping many of the young Braves hurlers. Whitlow Is no
stranger to the Atlanta fans, having managed the Cra~kers and being a native of nearby Buchanan, Georgia.
Whitlow was a star pitcher for the Dodgers in the 40's.
GROVER RESINGER
Newest addition to manager Bobby Bragan's staff
is a native of Eolia, Missouri. Grover Resinger came to
the Braves from the Cardinals organization, where he
was a successful minor league manager. Grover was
named Manager of ttie Year in the Texas League in 1964
at Tulsa, Oklahoma. Many of his players of 1964 are
now on the parent club's roster, which is indicative of
the fine managing job by Grover. He is also nationally
ranked as a handball player.
BILLY HITCHCOCK
A new addition to the coaching staff, but by no
means new to the Major Leagues, Billy Hitchcock played
for nine years with Detroit, Washington, St. Louis, Boston, and Philadelphia. He also managed the Baltimore
Orioles in 1962 and 1963 . Billy is well known in this area ,
having been an outstanding athlete at Auburn. He is a
native of Opelika, Alabama, and served as a Special
Assignments Scout for the Braves in 1965.
BASEBALL AND THE AMERICAN LANGUAGE
Baseball has had a powerful effect on the American language and vividly demonstrates how much
baseball affects the everyday conversation of people
who may never have attended a professional game.
For instance:
What we like is called A HIT. The man who fails
has STRUCK OUT, or at best DOESN'T GET TO
FIRST BASE. A person who is indiscreet is WAY
OFF BASE, and may end up being CAUGHT OFF
BASE. When we are unprepared, we are sometimes
CAUGHT OUT IN LEFT FIELD. Our salesmen make
PITCHES. When we understand a situation, we GET
THE PITCH. Otherwise, we DON 'T CATCH. The opponent in an argument who makes an extreme statement to retrieve a lost point is REALLY REACHING
FOR IT. An unfortunate mistake is A REAL BLOOPER . A person who behaves eccent rically is A SCREWBALL-one not to be trusted is A FOUL BALL. When
we refuse to be discouraged , it' s because WE ' LL
GET OUR INNINGS.
If you' re getting pressu re from both sides , you
may be t he victi m of a SQUEEZE PLAY. Unt il you
38
get going, you're just WARMING UP. After that,
you're RIGHT IN THERE, PITCHING. When you cover
every contingency, you TOUCH ALL THE BASES.
But when you compete outside your class, you ' re
NOT IN THE SAME LEAGUE.
The man who is ready to cooperate is WILLING
TO PLAY BALL WITH US. The fellow who operates
against big handicaps has TWO STR IKES AGAINST
HIM. The one who does something pu rely fo r effect
is making A GRANDSTAND PLAY. And the one who
tries to refuse an invitation gracefully, asks for
A RAINCHECK .
When you understand quickly, you get it RIGHT
OFF THE BAT. When someone asks an embarrassing
question , he has THROWN YOU A CURVE. A bril liant and accu rate st atement is RIGHT DOWN THE
MIDDLE. When success is assu red, you ' re HOM E
FREE. When you are alert , you are ON THE BALL.
When you defend som eone, you GO TO BAT FOR
HIM . A pe rson who is momentarily responsible HAS
THE BALL, and his associates BACK UP HIS PLAY.
And th at' s TEAMWORK.

but <until now) supporter or only minorleague teams, the virgin baseball land.
A Cou11 Ultimatum
When the ex-Boston, ex-Mllwallkee
Braves made their move south. It was In
the mld5t of what may be the greatest
battle organized baseball has ever known.
o n the day al'ter the Braves opened In
Atlanta, Wl.sconsln Circuit Judge Elmer
w. Roller ruled they had violated state
antltrusl laws and must return to Mil·
waukee an.er May 17 unless the National
League agreed by noon May 15 to expand
next year and put a team 1n Mllwaulr:ee.
Bueball answered that the JUdge does
not have the Jurisdictional power to rorce
bUeball to return, and pointed to a 1922
ruling by the Supreme Court thal base-
~ t~bll~;~ 1:::1:~!n-~i:1:i:
and the cue may go all the way to the
U.S. Supreme Court. Before lt's over, the
case could affect all professional baseball
aa lt'a now structured.
Even as Judge Roller wu putting the
flnlahlng touches to hla ruling (which
gave Wisconsin all It h ad asked for), the
Braves made the move a /att accomplt by
openina: their regular season In Atlanta
amidst an orderly but enthusiastic welcome. It was the city's biggest organized
celebration since the world premiere of
Gone With the Wind, the south's side of
th e Civil War, In 1939. There were receptions attended by top baseball ofllclals
and local political leaders, too many
cocktail parties to keep up with, and a
parade viewed by a crowd estimated by
pollce at 250,000 but nearer 100,000.
Amidst 11.ll the hullabaloo, however,
many an Atlantan voiced private misgivings about bascb&ll's future here. "Wlll
It be succes.srul? I really don't know" was
the almost invariable answer.
A Dwindling Crowd
The crowd or 50,671 at the city's beau.
tlful year-old stadium on opening night
Included some knowledgeable baseball
enthusiasts . But many more spectators
were there simply because It was a landmark In their proud city's history. The
game was a g00<1 one (the Braves Jost to
P ittsburgh, 3-2, In 13 innings), but by the
eighth Inning. with the score deadlocked at
1-1, many in the crowd left. By the loth
Inning, about halt the crowd remained.
The following night. attendance was
down, as might be expected. After au,
there ts only one opening night. However.
the size or the crowd was down far more
than might have been expected: 12,721 In
an Sl8,000,000 stadium that seats 52,000
for baseball and 55,000 fo r football.
A crowd of only 11,000 for a pre-season
exhibition wlth the World Champion Los
Angeles Dodgers prompted a sarcastic
column by the Los Angeles Times' Jim
Murray, who said the 42,000 empty seats
made more noise than the 11,000 occupied by what he called "Confederate
statues." Granted, the crowd would h&ve
been larger I! Sandy Koufax had been
there. But how many Koutaxes are there?
Bulldlng up major support for the
Braves will take time, and AUanta's Indefatigable mayor, Ivan Allen, Jr., knows
It. MaJor-Ieague baseball has Iong been
emphasized In the area's press, but enthusiasm must be nurtured. The city has

ure dropped to 256,000 by 1957. This
wouldn't begin to pay fo r a major-league
team, but It must be. remembered the
crackers weren't in the major leagues.
The Ticket Sales
As of last week, only 4,000 season tick·
et.a: had been sold. This stands In marked
contrast kl Atlanta's pro football team,
the Falcons, who aren't even a team yet
and must start from scratch. Last Nov. 1.

F.alcon otl'iclals were swamped with 7,000
requests for the eight-game $45 Uckets.
By Christmas Eve the sale waa closed at
Just over 45,000-and 25.000 acldlUonal requests came ln. In the Falcons, AUantans
must expect several loalng seasons by a
building team, while In the Braves they
have a potential pennant winner .
The long, bitter legal war Wlth Milwaukee for the Bravea• ownership obvl·
au.sly hurt tlctei sales. AUantana dldD't
know whether the Braves would represent
them or the burshen i rom the beer clty.
The team's abandonment of Mllwaukee
waa the nrat Instance of a slclpou.t by a
one-team city, and Mllwau.t:eean.s took
the planned exodus as a personal lnllult.
The Braves bad denied such a move was
being considered whlle actually moving
equipment and r ecords. Then they tried
to bUY their way out a year be!ore their
contract expired, ortertng Milwaukee 21/,
times as much money u they had paid In
rental fees the year before. Atlanta, as•
sured the Braves would be there tor the
1965 season, had paid an extra $700,000
to have the stadium !lnlShed In time.
Venting hls city's wrath on Atlanta.
George Rice. first assistant counsel tor
Milwaukee County (which owns the Mll·
waukee stadlumJ otf:lclally warned Atlanta
In October 1954 hls city would sue to keep
the Braves. He demanded that Atlanta
retract Its offer to the team and threatened "kl seek recourse In the courts for
lnjunctlonal relief from your [Atlanta's]
malicious conduct and continued interference wlth an existing contract."
Faced with this threat. the Braves reluctantly returned kl a hostile Milwaukee
and drew only 555,584 paid spectators all

194 ,000. In order to keep Its new stadium

P olitical Reper cu~slons
The delay, which threatened kl drag

Braves' stadium contract expired , also
Jeopardized Mayor Allen's poilttcal career.
His opponents called the stadium "Allen's
White Elephant," and a political storm ensued before the 1965 election. But he survived, as did the Braves ln Milwaukee.
Mr. Allen had flrst run tor mayor In
1961, placing great stress on the need tor
a major sports stadium. His predecessor,
WIiliam B. Hartsfield, had blocked such
a structure. " Baseball fans are made up

TOWER
CINCINNATI 2, OHIO
July 28, 1966
Dear Mayor Allen:
I was glad to get your note about the great
weekend attendance {160,000) the Braves enjoyed.
Attendance there has been most gratifying and
particularly so when one considers the club has
performed far below the pre-season predictions
by the 11 experts ".
It was most gratifying to us here, a nd I'm
sure you too, to win the State of Wisconsin's law
suit, and to win it on their home grounds. It was
the r e sult of v e ry hard work and long hours by
very able counsel unde r most prejudic e d conditions
and in a political and emotional climate.
P r esident
Hon. Ivan Allen , J r.
