Braves File 63-Page Answer To Court Suit

In a 33 page brief filed in Milwaukee Circuit Court they accuse Atty. Gen. LaFollette of ambushing the case and seek dismissal of the suit. A temporary restraining order asks that the Braves play in Milwaukee next year and the league begin expansion procedures.
