...Milwaukee lost its bid for a franchise because, as League President Warren Giles explained, "it is only 90 miles away from two major-league clubs in Chicago." San Diego is located little farther from Los Angeles (the Dodgers) and Anaheim (the Angels), but it got a team - because Dodger Owner Walter O'Malley wanted to reward a friend: E. J. ("Buzzie") Bavasi, who will take over as president of the San Diego club after eleven years as the Dodgers' general manager. Dallas and Fort Worth were turned down for a franchise simply because Roy M. Hofheinz, owner...
Hardly more logical was the Amer ican League's decision to split in two. "Nobody," explained one club owner, "wants to finish twelfth in a twelve-team league." But the way the divisions are set up, two clubs could wind up hurting in first. The Minnesota Twins and Chicago White Sox are assigned to the league's western division, along with two expansion teams - in Kansas City and Seattle - and the lackluster Oakland Athletics and California Angels. They will play 21 fewer home games against the more attractive easte:rn teams - Boston, Cleveland, Detroit, Baltimore, New York...
...Mercer 35-J's new owner is Harry Resnick, 49, whose four-year-old collection of old autos in Ellenville, N.Y., is already up to 60 cars. To further fill out his collection, Resnick also laid down $37,500 for a sleek, maroon 1966 Duesenberg four-door sedan (body by Ghia), $8,000 for a bright blue 1924 Amilcar three-place sport model CGS 3, and $15,500 for a 1916 Biddie Victoria touring car. Bidding right along with Resnick was the biggest old-car buff of all, William Harrah, owner of Nevada's Harrah's gambling...
...chagrined man at the auction was Boston Real Estate Dealer Mark Gibbons, 41, who had put on the block the massive yellow and black 1937 Rolls-Royce Sedanca de Ville used by Goldfinger in the James Bond movie. Gibbons bought it when, after a fenderside chat, he asked the owner to start it up-and found it was already running. But last week bids failed to meet Gibbons' reserve price of $11,000, which leaves him with a problem. "You can't drive it in the daytime," he says. "It attracts too much attention...
...first cooperative super market. Located in Esplanade Gardens Cooperative, a middle-income apartment complex, the moderate-sized (10,000 sq. ft.) store will be the chief market not only for the 1,870-apartment development but also for surrounding tenement blocks. Its key asset, however will be its owner-customers, some of whom were enlisted by teen-agers selling $5 shares. The coop, says Miss Walker, 42, a practicing Harlem attorney, is the first Harlem store in which "the community has a vested interest." Cash Rebate. That interest is green as well as black. The supermarket aims to reward...
