Seattle Finances Weighed to Save Pilots
Edward S. Carlson, head of a group seeking to keep the Seattle Pilots in the city, plans another meeting Thursday to resolve the franchise’s financial problems. He met with AL President Joe Cronin and William Daley in Cleveland, outlining a plan to raise 750000 cash and 13 million in underwriting plus a 35 million bank loan. Carlson believes the Bank of California loan to Pacific Northwest Sports may be negotiable if other steps are completed. Bud Campbell of the bank said they will do anything within reason to keep the team in Seattle.
