Meet The Atlanta Braves 18 Proves He's Tough Guy to Beat By JOHN LOGUE Nineteen Thirty Five was a heckuva year for the Siluril, Ala., Buckwheat Mills baseball team. One-tenth of the men man- aging in the major leagues today were in that Siluria lineup. The incumbent manager the Atlanta Braves, Robert Randall "Bobby" Bra- of gan, alternated between a "skint" infield and a Johnson Grass ouUield. And who was on the mound Wednesdays and Sundays? "Lum" Luman Harris, that's who. In case you aren' t up on your baseball genetics, Lum Harris is the new manager of the Houston Colts. There "ain't" but 20 men managing in the major leagues - and that's counting a head coach in Chicago - and no less than two of them got their elementary education with the Buck~·heat Mills boys o( Siluria. Those were t h e days when there wasn't any income tax. Heck, there wasn't any income. Bobby Bragan, 46, has never failed this auspicious begiMing. THE PHILADELPHIA Phillies signed him in 1937 and he didn't take but three years getting into the big time. He hit .2&'i, .298. and .3ll at Pensacola, FI a., where the class of baseball wasD." The next three years he played his second base in Philadelphia where he was known more for his batUe than his bat, hitting o n ly .222, .251, and .218 for the Phillies. Brooklyn liked him and got him and he hit .264 ..267 (spent 1945-46 in military service) and .194 and .167 b e fore returning to the m1nor leagues at F o r t Worth, Hollywood and Spokane until 1959. In the interim, he also managed Fort Worth to the Texas League title in 1941 his first time out as a playini!"a;:le~ort Worth finished second and fourth and second and then Qt' man11,zed J-fol!ywoorf, !"!a. to the Padf1c Coast pennant in 1953. He fin ished second and thi rd there the next two years and in 19.'ili made hi! major league debut as manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates. THE MAN was willing but the flesh was weak in Pittsburgh w h ere the Plrates finished seventh twice. Cleveland called and Bragan brought the Indians into mid-season sixth in 1958. He finished out the year at Spokane where that ieam finished seventh. His 1959 Spokane team was fifth and in 1960 Bragan turned his talents to coaching for the Dodgers and in 1961 to scouting for the Houston Colts-with his old Siluria sidekick Lum Harris. The Br.aves gave the No. 1 job to Bragan in 1963 and this year extended his contract as a show of faith aft.er the Milwaukee club finished firth, only five games off the pace. Bra· gan's team won 20 of its last26gameslastseason. Bragan made baseball history at Spokane when he took an obscure, 26-year-old minor league shortstop and turned him into a formidable switch-hitter named Maury Wills. Lifted into the big time by a responsive bat, Wills has gone on to steal I04basesinone season and be named the Most Valuable Player in the National League.

The Braves, original charter members of the National Baseball League when It was formed in 1876, have had many nicknames and now begin a new chapler in their third city of residence, but one fact has remained constant through it all- winning is the team's tradition. The team has had many nicknames.

sla~hed through thr rest of the league and won the Jl('nnant by ten and onr-half games, and rocked the fabled Philadelphia Athletics in four straight games in the World Series. That was the last championship uni~ 1948 when Billy Southworth, m his third season as manager. brought home the bacon to Beantown. That was the year of the victory cry "Spahn and Sain and two days of rain." Just four years later the bloom was gone. After a peak attendance of 1,455,439 in 1!148, the club attracted only 281,278 fans in 1952, and owner Lou Perini gave up the ship and moved the team to Milwaukee in March of 1953. FOR the next four seasol15 the Braves finished second three times and third once. Then came the bonanza as the same old Spahn and his new mound cohort, Lew Burdette, brought the pennant to the baseball-cra1.ed Milwaukeeans. In 1959 U1e story was the same-a pennant. Only the ending changed as the Yanks rallied from a 3-1 deficit to win the world's. championship in seven games. The following year the team slipped to second and hasn't won a pennant since. Braves Boast Three of Game's Greatest Stars H was almost as if the Milwaukee Braves were destined for Dixie when they hired their present coaching staff, which is definitely "you-all" in character. / BOBBY BRAGAN Braves' Manager ta ta a By LEE WALBURN' These are stars .. and then there are superstars. The Braves have three of the latter Few teams can boast three active all-time greats like Warren Spahn, Eddie :\lathews and Hank Aaron. Immortality has already been reserved for the name of_ Spahn._Althoug~ he didn't wm his first maJor league game until he wa1 2.'i, Spahn has won over 350 games in 20 )'cars in the maiors. He ranks ~cventh on U1e list of history·s greatest winners. Spahn has won more games, pitched more innings, struck out more baltersand won20 games more than any other lcflhander no errs In history. He had only lo 1;trikeout91hittersin 1964 to break Christy Mathewson's Natonal League mark of2,505foracarcer. SPAHN HAS led the National League in complete games nine times, victories eight times; innings pitched and strikeouts four times; C:3rned run average three times and games started and won - lost percentage twice. lo addition he has wonfourWorldSeriesgames and an all-~tar contest. He ha~ hit more home runs than any pitcher in National League hi~tory. A year ago he was named "Pitcher of the Decade." Mathews, who Bddle played his first lull season of baseball in Ponce de Leon Park, currently ranks as the premier home run hitter among active major league players. Only six men have ever hit more homers than the Braves' Bomber, who had 422 going in the 1964 season. Once considered a poor fielder. Mathews worked at the third base pooition until he became adept enough to lead the league in putouts twice and assists three times. In 1963 he led all third basemen in fielding. He has a lifetime major league bqtting average of .280and six limes has driven in 100 or more runs. EDDIE LED the league twice in homers, 47 and 46, ...... if andholdstheleaguerecord for most years hitting 30 ormorehomerunsandmost consecutive years hitting 30 or more home runs. In 1963 he received 124 walks to lead in that department for the third straight year and the fourth time in his caHank Aaron, younger than either Spahn or Mathews, still has a great future ahead of him. The past behind him, however, is almost enough to insure his place among the all-time greats. He has been called by some "the finest a\1aroond player in the game." In 1963 he had one of the greatest seasons ever ex- pcrienced by a National League player. He captured five individual titles, leading the league in RBI (130),totalbases(370),runs scored (121), slugging percentage (586) and tied for most home runs (44). If that wasn't enough, he stole 31 bases. second only to Maury Wills'40. Aaron has one of the strongest throwing arms in baseball. He has led league right fielders in fielding three times. At .320, his lifetime average is the highest of any active majoc league player. Remarkably durable he has played in 150 games for IO consecutive seasons. He has played in 10 consecutive all-star games. 1 I ���You are cordially invited to attend The Mayor's Annital Christmas Eggnog Party Thursday, December 24, 1964 from 11 :30 A.M. until 2:00 P.LYI. r I The Mayor's Office City Hall Atlanta, Georgia �\ �TO: FROM: Ivan Allen, Jr. 0 For your information 0 Please refer to the attached correspondence and make the necessary reply.

The story of this gtadium, yet without an ending, is one of bold courage, convlction and a handful of men of action. Future Home of Braves In the event you are but an occasional reader of such, the Milwaukee Braves were to shift here beginning this April but have now been told by the National League to remain in Mlnne1;ota one more summer. It isn't likely to be a financially profitable season there with fans angry at the projected move. With tacit agreement to move to Atlanta for the 1965 11eason, the contract for the structure was let, Meanwhile, the St. Louis Cardinals or the National Football Lea111• came with an ace of shlrtlnr but the city and the Carda patched up their domestic squabbling with promises of a new stadium and Stormy Bidwell decided to stay Indefinitely in the blues city. Atlanta, meanwhile, holds a glimmer o( hope that the Braves may yet come for the '65 season, meanwhile ready to invite any National Football League member who may become disenchanted at his present surroundings. The American Football League is ready to exp1md now and probably would take in Atlanta and New Orleans next fall, ll the two southern cities gave It the sign. Atlanta, however, probably will hold out for the NFL, a while anyway. .... The stadium is but a quarter-mile from the beari of Atlanta. A major lnt.erchanS"e of all hla'hwan is riS"ht ne:d Seating for Huge Crowds It ls convertible. Will seat 51,500 for baseball, 57,100 for football, all most comfortably. It is a bowl three-tiered and an excavation. That is, park, walk In from street level and you're on the second tier. You walk down to 16,455 lower grandstand and box scats. The upper grandstand seats 25,200. Offices are built into the structure. Milwaukee has them rent free in the 25-year-contract that is in the vault. Milwaukee also has the concessions, with a percentage to the stadium authority. ln a sentence, the stadium is beinl' buiU because the city's mayor, Ivan Allen Jr,, felt one was needed, saw the benefits of it, coupled with the pro football and/or major leag,,te baseball. He went out and got it. This way: Allen, a former chamber of commerce president was elected as the "businessman mayor." His first team for the maneuvering that brings the stadium and ball club, included Mills Lane , c:hairman o( the board of the Citizens and Southern Bank, Georgia's largest; Arthur Montgomery, Atlanta Coca~Cola bottler; Opie Shelton, chamber of commerce execuUve director; Furman Bisher, Journal sports editor, and Atlanta architects Bill Finch and George Heery. "All we had to do, those two years ago," said the mayor, "was rind a club which mic-ht be wantlnr to move, then persuade them to make that move to Atlanta, where we ofrered them a stadium not yet designed, to be built with money we didn't yet have, on land we didn't yet own." Mayor Author of Project Allen was the author of a "Forward Atlanta" promotion project and the stadium was one part of this. Biggest assist, really, came when at least two big league clubs did show genuine interest. On assurance of payment, banker Lane got two architectural firms to pool skills to design the stadium. Forty-five members of their staffs worked on draft.! for which there was yet Deither a contract nor bulldlng money. Options on urban renewal land, 5Z acres, were snapped up before it could be broken Jnt.o smalJ pieces. Line was tn provide almost $700,000 in unsecured loans io finance the first steps for the stadium which no one had Jet asree,. to build. Coca-Cola man Montgomery took the job as chairman or th• Atlanta and Fulton County Recreation Authority, the official (ConUnaed on Pase I, Cot. U Morning After (CoLUnued from Pare 1) unit. The group set about talking to the Kansas City Athletics, Braves, anybody who·d listen. A two-year juggling act began, trying to get a team with which to get a stadium to entice a team. Sports fans-and this was important-and those favoring a cultural center and audl· torlum pooled support for the passage of the bond issue that would make it possible. Previously, both proposals had been de· fcated in bond issues. The joint team or sports and high brows got the referendum through. Next, the contract, for construction, and for the blr lea,-ueUam. With the disappointment caused when the Natlonal League chose to force the Braves to remain in Milwaukee another year, there has been some grumbling, but not much. The minor league Crackers will play in the swank surroundings this year, on grass that is already grown in hot houses, as the arand structure has a shakedown year. The supreme test foJlows. A couple of years from now, will those magnificent lnteratate highways which brush against the stadium see AUantans driving the 70-mlle.an-hour limit to get to the ball game. or, to get on through the city to whatever it will be that will be more magnetic, then?

' ().I .7 0 /. --- ��Atlanta tries to hit one into the stands It takes an awful lot of dream or an awful lot of commercial expectation to make a hardheaded, business-minded city like Atlanta plunk down $18million for a major league sports stadium-especially when it ends up by tagging on an additional $700,000 to insure completion within a year. Yet that is exactly what Atlanta has don e, and all without any rock-hard assmance that it is going to get th e big teams to fill its seats for baseball (5 1,500) and football (57,100) . Of course, Atlanta Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr., (picture) and his associates think they have the transfer of the Milwaukee (nee Boston) Braves nailed down for next spring. But the Milwaukee city fath ers are putting up a brisk fight in the courts, and nothing is yet sealed and delivered. The bait. The answer, of course, is that the advent of a major league team brings with it a shower of gold-much from out of town-even if it peters out after a few years. One survey figures that just in 1961, after the New York Giants moved to San Francisco, $11million was spent in the city on baseb all entertainment. Atlanta's stadium boos ters figure their chances this way. They'll be the first major league baseball city in tl1e South. The city's own population -is 1.2-million ; to that add 25-million people in seven Southeastern states, tied by a netv. ork of 32 expressway lanes less th an a mile from downtown Atlanta. Six metropolitan centers are within 2½ hours driving time of the stadium, and there's not a traffic light to balk them. On the air. For the first year, baseball attendance should hit 1.5-million, according to CocaCola bottler Arthur L. Montgomery, one of the project's sparkplugs. For his part, Mayor Allen thinks $SO-million a year would be " a very low estimate" for the dollar turnover and boost in sales and services. There are also rosy expectations for TV and radio revenu es. Atlanta is betting that its fine spring and fall weather should put it way ahead of chilly 1ilwaukee, where postponements are a hazard. And even Milwaukee, with a top team and the first glow of novelty, shattered all kinds of attendance records. It took quite a few years, and considerable downgrading of the team, before its attendance began to shrink. �THE MILWAUKEE JOURNAL © 1964, bu Th• J ournal Campanu Eighty-second Year - 288 Pages Sunday, October 18, 1964 Circulation Last Sunday. 587,505 Sunday, 25 centl I.:atest Eilition tt usin Feels Discord 'F;::!~:~~:~: County Threatens Atlanta USSR Will Last N143.215.248.55 16:27, 29 December 2017 (EST)1 16:27, 29 December 2017 (EST):. w· th suI.t to Keep Braves

The new leaders of the Ser - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ---==----~ Loe Anrele1 Tlmei/Wuhln&lon POst Nf:WI Servke Peking, ChJna - Well, let's say It right away, at the end of a long journey of seven weeks in Communist China: When Peking's rulers say that they have "on the whole" succeeded, I think they are telling the truth. The Communist regime is now firmly on the tracks, although errors and obstacles brought it close to disaster. There has been great general progress, although there ttlll exist areas-30metime1 immense-of difficulties and 1uffering, as the Chinese concede implicitly and u any objective visitor can see. Enemies of communism would be thunderstruck by the progress; friends of communism would be appalled by the problems that remain. Communism hu won two vlctoriet in China. Firtt, it has conquered all sorts of long standing evilt--Corruption, diaorderliness, disease. The advances I noted in my last visit in the autumn of 1955 have been consolidated. And if it is true tbat the Chinese have suf. fered a famine, they are not hungry toda y. But communism has also scored a second victory. It has decidedly "succeeded"-if that is the word- in manufacturing obedience by pushing its 700 million people through the rollen of Mao Marxism. It was in the three day, 2,000 mile train trip from Hong Kong to Peking that I witnessed my fint surprise. There, carved on the technlcolor landscape, was the Immense effort of • whole people to feed its multitude.. Not a square yard had been left uncul- tivated, right up to the rails, on the very embankments, in the ditches, along the shoulders of the roads, on und banks temJ)Orarily left dry by the rivers. After the years ol the great crisis, from 1959 to 1961, the plannen in Peking had transferred priority from heavy industry to agriculture, and tbe view from my train window answered my question: What would Chinese agri, culture-which is both the bane and the foundation of China's economybe like in the summer of 1964? There was a second surprise. The peasant-in the singular-no longer exists. No more lone workers, but teams, 20 at a time, one behind the other on the paths and in the furrows, making the same movements with the same tools at the same time in clusters over the countryside, like platoon, of soldiers on maneuver. At first tight. anyone could see tha t he was in the land of the communes, Tumtopo.feS,col, J �CALL LETTERS FJT 11/11/64 CHARGE TO Book Telegram Deliver - do not phone Mayor's a££ice L64 11 1 23 I I PM 4 I would like for you/ to be my guest, at lunch Thursday November 12, at 12 :00 noon, Venetian Rbom; 1 ,ct·j:Aita...,,.1___ City Club, in honor of Mr. Thomas J.

The balance, some 25,000 shares, to prospective investors "who may be valuable in marketing the company's insurance policies and develoJ>ing business." The SEC announcement also noted that United Trust al· ready has outstanding 75,000 common shares sold at $10 a share to 15 wlidentlfied preorganizational subscribers, and that management officials as a group own 35,000 of these shares. It further points out that United Trust was organized in Georgia last May, has ol.fices In the Hurt Building, and intends to conduct a life, accident and health insurance business. NET PROCEEDS The net proceeds of the stock sa1e, It adds, are to be used to meet capital requirements for applying for a Ji. cense to engage In the insurance business in Georgia and to conduct an insurance business. The only company official identified by the SEC release is Paul Light, president. While no background is given on him, his former emJoyer sent out a press reease a few weeks ago announcing the appointment of his successor and mentioning that Light had become presldeot of United Trust In Atlanta. That employer was Pan American 14fe in New Orleans and, as best we can rec:all now, L.ight was vice presi-dent in charge of agencies.

They're Right Off the Bat A'l'LANTA-The visitor realizes he's in the South's most progressive spot when old friends m~et him at the airport with jack daniels and grits and hustle him through a maze of freeways to where major league baseballers will soon live. This is the sleek new stadium being built almost in the heart of Atlanta. Bulldozers are shoving deep into the 11Jsty Georgia clay and concrete tiers are thrusting up amid the everchanging skyline of the oldtime city. " We're going to play an exhibition \vith the Yankees in this stadium on April 9," says Bob Richardson, a top governor's aide and one of the forces behind the new sports ambition. " And we'll open the season in it on April 15." By "we", the Atlanta citizenry means the Atlanta Braves, who will make the jump from Milwaukee in a matter of days. There is much official hush-hush about it, lest an earthquake or the Supreme Court or some other act of nature spoil the pudding at the last second. And it's typical of baseball's pussyfooting a ttitude that the Milwaukee-to-Atlanta move hasn't been openly declared before now. The Milwaukee directors are meeting today in Chicago. And they'll vote to approve the shift. The Nationaj League officials meet in New York later this week and will doubtless okay the franchise transfer. The stadium is a rush act. When the Atlanta leaders suddenly decided they wanted in the Big Swim, they didn't waste time with flim and fadclle and political strings and twiddle dees and twiddle dums. A couple rich johns said they'd underwrite the thing, so start digging and all the details would be worked out later, like dividing the stadium cost between the city, county and state and retirin it with revenue bonds. So the dirt comTllenced flying. The contractors ,vill have to forfeit $2,000 every day past April 15 it takes to complete it. T On the Way HIS CITY desires very m uch to be the sports center below the Mason-Dixon and it dang shore will be. It's jus( a question of time until a pro football team locates there. Atlanta had the St. Louls football Cal'dinals, for a couple days anyway. The Bidwell brothers wanted to move their NFL franchise to that city. And the bustling Atlantans offered them a rockbottom rental deal. But when the Bidwells returned to St. Louis to talk things over, they were offered a better deal by a citizen of that city, one who owned a small chunk of the stock. So they bad to pull out of their Atla nta commitments. F or the time being, anyways. There have been reports that the Steelers might consider moving here. Owner Art Rooney bas been seen lunching here with Ar thur Montgomery, a wealthy soft drink distributor and one of the go-gettum powers around town. But the feeling now is that Rooney will nc;it leave Pittsburgh. The Ameii can Football League, it's believed, would move a club there at the drop of an invitation. Commissioner Joe Foss, on a recent visit, warned the Atlantans " not to let too many trains pass by". Meaning an AFL franchise in the hand is worth two NF L d ubs in the bush. �11ym . me contractors will have to forfeit $2,000 every day past April 15 it takes to complete it.

Chicago and Minneapolis. At Atlanta, the nearest major league franchise will be Cincinnati. a A · Familiar Faces ND THE BRAVES should fit right in like homefolks. A couple of the Negro players, Hank Aaron and Lee Maye, say they are muchly agin moving to Atlanta because of the segregation business. But they'll play where they're told, or else get another ~b. ' Ed Mathews, the Braves third baseman, was a minor league star here in 1950. Coaches Whitlow Wyatt and Dixie Walker both managed minor league teams here. Coach J o J o White is a qeorgia native and Manager Bobby Bragan is from nearby Birmingham. Lloyd's of London once made a study and predicted that Atlanta would be the largest city in. the world a t the tum of the next centw-y. At least that's what some local citizens claim.

Ivan Allen, Jr. Mayor, City of Atlanta Atlanta, Ga. 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.

Hurt, Hill, Richardson and Sosebee William-Oliver Building Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Dear Bob: This will confirm our conversation in connection with the acquisition by Milwaukee Braves 9 Inc. of the Atlanta franchise in the International League. ~he price for the franchise is $285,000 of which $200,000 is a relocati on expense under the agreement between the Braves and the Stadium Authority. This will confi rm our agreement that after the 1965 baseball season is completed, the Braves will pay $50,000 to the Stadium Authority if they determine that they want to operate the franchise in some location outside of Atlanta. The net effect of this transaction will be to make the cost of the franchise $235,000. It i s the Braves they will $35,000 of further understood that at some futu r ·e date i.1 sell this franchise for in excess of $50,000, credit the Authority with up to the first such excess. The purpose of the foregoing unde r s t andings is t o , if at all possible, limit the cost of the franchise bo th to the Braves and the Stadium Authority to $100,000 each. Sincerely, -- ?Thomas A.

Aa ron, w ho stroked 24 home -.runs this year, knocked in ~5 runs and belted a r eSP,eotable .328, is a valued asset t o his employers, who apparently have wearied of (Milwa ukee even il their star out,fielder has not. ow ·he is t orn -b etween his loyalty to the Braves and his obligations to his fam-i1y. \He Is wontlerlng aloud about housing . conditions and other opportunities t here. 1 Wo uld his children a ttend a s egregated · and inferior school? Would t hey be rebuffed, s nubbed or scarl'ed psychologically if the Braves play in · Georgia ? "I just •won't step out on the field" if the club moves there, he told a wire service reporter. "I Jcertainly don't like t he idea· of playing 111 Atlanta and I have no intention of taking my !amily· t here." • • • !His absence from t he Braves lineup might eue the cares of rival National League mana gers 1but it would -be a severe blow to t he· Braves. It would also dash the hopes o! Atlanta's Negro leaders who have worked tirelessly to bring professlo11al baseball and· football clubs to Geongla's first city. _ They've labored in the conviction that integr ated pro teams would dramatically demonstrate what citizens of color can accomplish given equal opportunlties. . It is • their hope that - Aaron's big bat and superstar pop1,1larity' will help knock J im Crow out of town. Atlanta's NAACP Presiden has writ ten Aaron asking hf mind and play._ Atlanta, he said, ls a p t'ojpessive, bulffl city where conditions are ltfll)roving stelldl for Negroes. ' Like other Negr.o leaders, Smith knows tully that Atlanta has its shortcomings. Early t his year, 54 signed a declaration calling for impr ovements that would make · direct aot-1011 protests unn ecessa ry. They heeded Rev. Mal'tin i..tither King's warning that time was "running out" for Atlanta if it 41d not make more rap id strides in race relations; . Since then, virtually all ·public· places were "voluntarily" opened to N eg -either by the presence of · pickets, press u from the Attorney G eneral's office, · pas!ftlte of the Civil Rig hts Act or q uiet, <but e19ctive negotiati~ by the Urban League. ' (Mayor I van Allen, who pleaded eloquently for the Act in Congress, is· regarded as one of . the Sout h's outstanding progressives w ho has helped crea te · a· climate in which change can be made peace~ully. B ut Atlanta has a long way ·to go in bettering · its schools, housing· and job opportunities for Negroes. · · , F or example, one-half of the city's renlal ·un its occu pied by Negroes· are substandard and 80 percent of the adult population over 25 years . of a ge holds no high school diploma. . ' For Aaron, the choice is difficult. To him, doffing his Mt when the "Star Spangled Banner" is piped over the loudspeaker opening day in the city's ne'w $18,000,000 st!l.dium may prove bitter ironr,t It he fears for t he welfare of his family. But such a sacriflc is ee.rifestly desired by Negro leaders who h fu l t hat his 'big bat will help them h an "Open City," one in which opporlllm.tita e translated Into reality "for all. ·· ' . . �- November 2 4, 1964 Mr. WhitnE:y M .

The delay of one year should not be harmful, but actually should enable us to get a better start in presenting a good front during that season. In view of the fact that Legion Field in Birmingham has now been enlarged to 69,000 and has neither college football, professional football, or baseball in it does indicate the great need for a major stadium in a city of our size. I think it is wonderful that you have provided this leadership for an installation that never would have been built under the administration of your predecessor. I sincerely hope that the team will be successful in Atlanta and that we will ultimately procure a Major League football franchise.

Y . �CHANNEL WSB·TV NEWS RELEASE An Official Editorial of WSB-TV, THE HYPHENATED BRAVES Atlanta, Georgia November 9, 1964 The future of the Milwaukee Braves seems to be settled. They'll play one more year in Milwaukee, then they'll move to Atlanta for the 1 66 season. Some local fans are understandably disappointed that there will be no big league baseball here next year, and in case they're inclined to go scapegoating we suggest they shy away from Mayor Allen. The Mayor made some bright promises based on his confidence in Atlanta. Allen said he could deliver big league baseball to our town, and he was right. He was simply a year early due to unforeseen legal complications. And if we hadn't built the stadium we wouldn't even have a team for 1966 . The attitude of Milwaukee officials seems curious. Of course, they're unhappy about losing the Braves. But it's sort of like a man telling his wife .... "In one year I'm going to divorce you and I've already got your replacement picked out. In the meantime, I e x pect you to be I the same sort of wife you ve always been ". It just won I t work. Milwaukee officials have delayed the inevitable one year, and it profits them very little. Next year they ' ll have a hyphenated team perhaps the sports writers will call them the Milwaukee dash Atlanta Braves . So n ow the political barrage against Mayo r Allen may begin . We ho pe not . Atlanta has waited 70 yea r s for a majo r league team , and one mo r e yea r i s n' t u nreasonable. Allen did eve ry thi ng in his powe r to get t h e Braves fo r 1965 . A written contrac t to that e ff ect would h a ve made no d i fferen c e. Th e Braves we r e obligated to pla y i n / Milwaukee n e x t yea r. It was hoped that the team c o u ld s imp ly pay off the r e nt o n Milwauk ee Co unt y S t a d ium a nd mo v e , but legal actio h blo cked that. I So for one year Atlanta may have a vacant stadium. Fo r at least 25 years thereafter, Atlanta will have big league baseball .. • •••. that leaves l i ttle room for c omplaint . �November 16, 1964 Mr. Samuel L .

Dear Ivan: I want to congratul ate y ou on the c losing of t he contr act to bring Major Leagu e Baseb all to Atlanta to be played in the new stadium you have champ ione d all t hese months . Yours has been a worthy t a sk and I am c er t a in that history will prove this to b e one of the fin e st steps forwar d that Atlanta has ever und er taken. It n as been my pleasure to view ALL of the l arges t stadiums i n America a nd quit e a few overseas . One day I read a list of all t he l arges t stadiums in America with the c apa city of each listed . I ha d been in all of them fr om the Rose Bowl in Pa sadena to the Yale Bowl i n New Haven a nd includ ing the Sesqui-Centennial Stadium in Phila de l phia , Soldi ers Field a t Chi cago, Orange Bowl, Sugar Bowl, Los Angeles Co liseum, Univ oof California at Berkeley, California. I have witnessed Maj or League Baseball games in 95% of all t he National Leagu e and Amer i c an League baseba ll parks i nclu ding the Milwaukee park a nd my exper ienc e le ads to· the conclus i on that the good that will come to Atlant a in the building of the new and modern stadium is incalculable. I peddled Coca- Colas in Ponce de Leon park in 1919 and made the handsome sum of $J . 65 on the l as t day of the season when the Cr ackers defeated New Orleans in a battle for t h e pennant before some 13,000 fans. Most of this profit c ame from selling Coca-Cola bottle crates for the rightfield standees aft er we sold out of cold drinks. I menti on these things t o indicate that I am really not a novice when a discussion ar ises conc erning the subject matter. I was present the day Arthur Montgomery presen ted the Stadium plan to the Board of Aldermen when the general public was invited. Mr.Montgomery made as fine a presentation on a subject as I have ever heard. The two of you have aone something f or Atlanta of which you can well be proud! Copies to: Mr.Arthur Montgomery Judge James C.Davis, Atlanta Times �It 1 s Quite a City - - - - WELCOME TO ATLANTA If you are new to the Atlanta School System, please regard this as a warm and cordial welcome not only to th.e Sys tern but to Atlanta itself. Y-0u have joined one of the finest educational teams in the nation. Your talents, efforts and creativity are needed to help make it the best in the nation. Perhaps you will not feel that we are immodest when we point out that although Atlanta is twenty~fourth in the nation in population, it has the fifth busiest airport, nineteen degree-granting colleges and universities, several local theatre groups, a choral guild, a symphony orchestra, music club, art museum, two ballet companies, and a concert dance group. Geographically, our city has the largest toll-free telephone system in the nation. It has been called the City of Churches. We have 600 churches representing 40 denominations. Three commercial television stations bring the three national TV networks to our city. The Atlanta Board of Education owns WETV, the only educational television station in the city. There are twenty commercial AM and FM radio stations in metropolitan Atlanta and the Atlanta Buard of Education owns WABE, the only educational radio station in the state. We have 159 parks and recreational areas and in October when the freeway connector is completed in the center of town, you will be able to ride 40 miles south and 40 miles north without encountering a stop sign. Thirty thousand shops, stores and service organizations are within the city limits for your convenience. ']:he city has more than 40 motion picture theatres. There aTe 19 general hospitals and 10 special hospitals in metropolitan Atlanta. Atlanta recently completed a twenty million dollar jet air terminal that serves seven airlines with 465 planes arriving and departing daily. And you may be interested to know that Atlanta is only two hours by air from two-thirds of t he nation's population. A librar y system, including a main library and 15 branches, will serve you. Building goes a-pace on a new stadium and Atlanta expects in the very near future to have a new auditorium. On the drawing board is the Memorial Cultural Center that will enhance the cuitural life of metropolitan Atlanta and, indeed, the state. Also a six million dollar area Vocational-Technical School will be under construction ar ound the first of the year. Atlanta ' s skyline is changing at a rapid rat e with the rise of new skyscrapers. The latest on the drawing board is The First National Bank which will be the tallest building in t he southeast. Measured by pupil population, At lanta was the 16th largest school system in the nation in 1963-64. Atlanta has 150 schools and over 7,000 children will enter kindergarten this year, Almost 110,000 school children from kindergarten t4rough the twelfth grade will be enrolled in the Atlanta School System in September. It takes approximately 40 million dollars annually to operate the school system.

Knowing that you have received numerous congratulatory expressions on this subject, it is my desire to extend warm, personal feelings because of certain factors involved. As a classmate and personal friend of Mr. Henry Aaron, I talked with him in person via telephone on October 23, 1964. During our conversation, he asked for a personal opinion concerning the r acial issues in Atlanta. Having weighed the issues carefully , I informed Mr. Aaron that I would collect a city survey from proper authorities. In the meantime , I asked him to talk with Mr. Maye and at a convenient time, arranged by them, I would bring the results of the poll ta.ken to Wisconsin. This type of survey, I felt would give an opportunity to discuss each phase of the city from many angl es as well as from several individual points of view. Mr. Aaron, I am pleased to say, readily accepted m:y proposal. In regards to the information concerning the survey, I would like to discuss the matter with you personally i f such a conference can be arranged. I would also like to secure materials, brochures, and other available information pertinent to the matter of race relations in Atlanta. I will be very grateful to l-tOU if you will give this matter your serious consideration at a very early date so that I may be able to talk with Mr. Maye and Mr . Aaron. �The Honorable Ivan Allen - Page 2 There is also a possibility of Mrs. Aaron becoming interested in residing in Atlanta. Positive reactions from you, as well as favorable comments from other prominent citizens, I feel, certainly will be important factors in determing the future home of a family; especially when that family is connected with a team that will be an asset to our city. I hope to hear from y ou soon. Very truly yours, c. C. Williams �October 2 6, 1964 Mr. Joe B . Bute.bison 61?

Michael Spence October 29, 1964 Honorable Ivan Allen Mayor City of Atlanta Georgia Dear Ivan: I regret that I did not have an opportunity to see you while in Atlanta. I did s ee a great deal of you in the newspapers and on Television regarding the Braves. I was greatly impressed with the progres s that has b een made in y our wond e rful city and I hope to r e turn soon and get togeth er with you. Sincerely, �30 Cambridge Road Madison 4, Wis. October 25, 1964 Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr. City Hall Atlant a, Ga. Dear Sir: As more and more facts come into print relating the surreptitious dealings between you and the present owners of the Milwaukee baseball franchise, I become i ncreasingly impressed by the complet e disregard shown by both parties for t he people a nd city of Milwaukee. You, as mayor of Atlanta and principle negotiator with the "fast Buck" owners of the franchis e, sought to i gnore an exi sti ng contract between those owners and the county of Milwaukee as well as the f ine support given the clup by Milwaukee fans . I am sure you would not want others to deal i rresponsibly in a f fairs relating to y our c ity, were the situation reversed . Certainly a mayor should act in an ethical manner not only in his city, but beyond his ci t y and state. Ati anta ' s desire for major league baseball is no excuse to do otherwise . A more honorable course would have been t o work for league expansion through the league office. In my opinion by failing to do thi s your a ctions have been detrimental to both baseball and Milwaukeeo I believe you owe both an apology. B~,lkSydney Miller, M.Do r �r --, 9700 W. Grantosa Drive Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 53222 October 26, 1964 Ivan Allen, Jr. , "Mayor" 11 City of Atlanta" Atlanta, Georgia Seems to us we have been reading in the press these days about a shift of a major league franchise better known as the "Braves" to a "city" called Atlanta. Somewhere in our geography lessons we learned that this was a city down in a state called Georgia, the land of peaches and peanuts. Well, at any rate, we've been reading a few quotes of yours in our papers here, and to say that we have been amused beyond description is putting it mildly. To refresh your memory, here are a few. "Today we welcome the opportunity to become a symbol of southern zest and drive, a major league city, a major league state, and a major league region." Man, this Atlanta must be qui te a place! After all the shenanigans which have gone on between Atlanta and these young owners of the Braves and the methods used to effect the transfer of the franchise to Atlanta, about the best we can say is that the whole business is strictly bush-league. As for the above quote, up here in Milwaukee we call it BALONEY! And quite a mouthful at thatl Careful now, don't choke. Another quote. "I don't think anything has been handled more properly and more above board. It is recognized that when a city loses attraction for the club, it moves out." Come now, Ivan , you don't really believe that do you? You couldn't! Don't you know that from 1903 to 1953 there wer e no shifts in fr anchises until the big money boy from Boston moved his club to Milwaukee in '53? And really, there is no comparison with that move to the present luring of the Braves to Atlanta. · During these years the minor leagues flourished to a reasonable degree, but once fellows like Stoneham, whose attendance in San Francisco this past season was nothing to shout about, and O'Malley whose Dodgers collapsed this year, and Charlie Finley, whose A's found it easy to land in the cellar, when these fellows decided to head out in other directions, then came the gradual decline of the minor leagues. If that last statement of the above quote is true, then baseball can start screaming, "Look out below!" It's on the way down and out now. Another quote . In congratulating Atlantans for their courage in building an 18 million dollar stadium you have been quoted as saying, "They represent the new, dynamic south which is no longer willing to be side-lined on the back benches." Wow, are those vote-getting words. You ought to be a sure-fire winner in the next election with statements like that. Yes, sir, Ivan, I'll bet they really love you down Atlanta way these days. �To continue. "Our stadium is a southern project, built on southern soil (No kidding), with southern money, by southern occupants and contractors. We feel it is uniquely fitting that this decision has been made which marks almost exactly the centennial of the day when Atlanta was left an ask-strewn ruin, symbol of a region 1.s defeat." Isn't that tender! It almost drives one to tears. How does it happen that Lou Perini isn't building your new ballyard? Of course, he needs the money like a moose needs a hat-rack, but after all, isn't Louis one of the owners of your new club? But that wouldn't look good, would it? There are a few things we have to keep on the level, aren't there? And those words about "the centennial of the day when Atlanta was left an ash-strewn ruin, symbol of a mm:Ib:mmm region's defeat." Those words could prove to be providential. You could get the same shoddy treatment from these young owners that we received, and after they have "bled" you for all they can, they're just apt to dicker under the table a year in advance with some other unsuspecting city. Then you too will have a defunct ball pasture like we'll have. We're planning on bringing back donkey baseball. What'll you havei Back in 19)9 when John Quinn, now General Manager for the Phillies, saw the light and left the Braves, the Braves brought in a guy by the name of John McHale as Ueneral Manager. At that time a respected and influential citizen of Detroit supposedly said, "The greatest day in Detroit baseball dawned when McHale left Detroit and went to Milwaukee." Well, fr om that day on the fortunes of the Braves were never in sorrier hands. Now Johnny boy is leaving Milwaukee. Hallelujah! And with him will go a couple of little boys from our ne ighbor ing s tate to the south. Good riddance! I n our l ast will and tes tament we bequeath them to you, with the hope that you won't be 11 takenr• l ike we were. So be careful and insist on a contract fo r at lea st thir teen years so that you can at least pay for your new stadium. We under stand you also made a pitch for the St. Louis Cardinal s of t he Nati onal Football League , but weren't successful. Must be t he Bidwell boy s II smelled a r at and wi s ely snubbed you. We understand you had a tremendous crowd for an exhi biti on game the ~ardinals played t here , and a wor se crowd when two t eams of the Amer ican Football League played a game there . Where were all thos e Atlantans who, as you supposedl y said "represent the dynami c s out h?" And finally , don 't for get that chubby little rascal Warren Giles, the so-called President of t he National League. What a boy! With all the hot air he t hrows aroundm he reminds us of a cent ral heating plant . In him , Ford Frick , and Joe Cronin baseball has the highest type of poor leadership. When bas eball es t ablishes its "Hall of IllFame", we can tell you who will head the list. With everlasting sympath~ to the players on the club, we remain Very sincerely yours, Former Braves Fans �DEMET ta DEMET ATTORNEYS AND COUNSELORS 324 EAST WISCONSIN AVENUE MILWAUKEE 2, WISCONSIN FRANCIS J.

C. BURNETT GENERAL ENGINEERING TRAINING SUPERVISOR AREA CODE 404 529-8487 November 13, 1964 The Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr. Mayor's Off ice City Hall Atlanta, Georgia Dear Mayor Allen: I last wrote you on April 2, urging prompt construction of the stadium. I want to let you know that I strongly support your continued constructive approach toward making the best of the unexpected situation regarding our Major League Baseball Team. I am convinced that you acted in full good faith, and that the Braves' officials did likewise. It is unfortunate that legal action was instituted. I believe that this was truly unforeseen. I am pleased that you want to go to Milwaukee to talk to the County officials and to try to work out some arrangement that will give us some Major League ball in Atlanta in 1965. If that fails, and I feel rather confident that you will be successful , then I will support a Milwaukee farm team next summer. I again wish to express my deep appreciation for all that you have done for Atlanta. I am writing a similar letter to Mr. Authur Montgomery who wrote to me last April after I had written to you. I urge that the stadium be named Atlanta Stadium . Sincerely, �
