Show TIIE TodayI f BY HENRY S McLEMORE Sports Parade NEW YORK July 31 (I'D All I about the report that the Yankee baseball empire is going to be sold to that it can be had for a price. The asking price would be around 10,000,000 but if anybody came along and laid $8,000,000 on the line in ready money, the heirs would wrap the whole thing up in tinfoil and say, take it, mister." You must keep in mind that when Jake Rupert was alive the Yankees were his pride and joy and about the only hobby he knew in his late years. Today the Yankees may bo a pride and no joy to the heirs but they are hobby, and if the heirs are to get any substantial dough out of the estate of the late brewer it must come from the sales of property, and the Yankees with g chain system reptheir resent a rich property indeed. know lt will be piece by piece, club by club, and perhaps, in the end, even player by player. This brings me up to what I think may eventually be the solution to the baseball situation .which exists in St. Louis, which is strictly b a city, but which tries with commercial futility to support two major league clubs the Cards and the Browns. one-clu- to know the Yankees would not mind selling their Kansas City club, which is in the process of building up an enviable major league aspiration. The team as it stands probably could perform creditably in either of the big leagues. It wouldn't win any pennants but it would do all right. I happen to know that if Sam Breadon, who owns the Osnit wants to buy the Kansas City club he will not have the door slammed in hs face. And this goes for the bunch of St. Louis business men who are behind the Browns. W hat Im trying to say is that if either Breadon or the Browns group wants to move, the Yankees will listen to a proposition concerning I happen Kansas City. Twelve Teams Post Season Double Elimination Meet My guess Is that when the final answer is written the American league will dominate St. Louis baseball. First, because it's traditionally an American league becity. Second. I have reason to lieve that the group back of the Browns have received assurances from the American league directors that they are in their corner. Of course, Breadon could take his Cards to Columbus, where he owns a franchise, and maybe in the end he will. But Kansas City scorns to be more of a major league prospect, and potentially it promises greater financial returns. What would happen to the American association If Kansas City became a major league unit? To which I ask, what to wrong with Omaha? That'a one of the best and sporting towns In the country been the people out there have crying for a club in the association. Therefore my platform is this: Let Breadon go to the Yankees end buy Kansas City and then move Omaha into the association. Twin Falls Blanks 4-- 0 Twin Falls Cowboys maintained their top position in the Pioneer league Monday, after blanking the Ogden Reds, 4 to 0, Sunday. The Cowboys, who list their first six games, gave good support to the iron pitching arm of Bill Schubel who allowed only three hits.

Bob Woolf, Hyde Parks star hurlor, couldn't hold the slugging, so Vern Seamons, regular catcher, took the mound for tho remainder of the game.
