CLEVELAND, Dec. 10 tU-HS—A
reliable source said Wednesday
that President Ellis Ryan of the
Cleveland baseball club and five
directors supporting him were
ready t call it quits and sell out.
The report was ciruclated as the
club's 12 directors went into a se-
cret session to r >view the front
office "mess™ which has been
fought in the headlines for a week.
"Hie report was that the club's
directors were equally divided in
their support of Ryan and Xate

source said the Ryan group was
more anxious to take- its profits
than it was to stay ami fight.
Ryan, who stormed oat of the
annual baseball meetings in Phoe-
nix last week, to come home and
discuss the situation had said only
two days ago that he intended to
see th# matter through and was
confident that he would stick. It
appeared that way, too, until Wed-
nesday.
The front-office fuss has been
rumored for a long time but it
broke into the open during the
Phoenix meetings. Basis of the dis-
pute was said to be the Cleveland
purchase of the Indianapolis club
in the American Association and
the installation of Charles French
as president of the Indianapolis
farm club. The investment turn-
ed out to be a money-losing pro-
position.

Baldridge so far has not made a

•rfesed together this story from
witnesses, none of whom saw the
letual shooting though several saw
the cousins together.
Late Tuesday, Johnson and his
brother. Terrence. went to Bald-
•dge's home to help start an auto-
mobile which had stalled so John-
son and Baldridge could go on a
double date.
The two derided to pawn a shot-
gun and a rifle they owned to get
money for their date.
They drove to the King Gun
Shop and as they walked in. Bald-
ridge slipped and fell, the shotgun
accidentally discharged and John-
son dropped fatally wounded.
Baldridge saw the body of his
cousin lying on the sidewalk, turn-
ed and ran for nine blocks. Twen-
ty minutes after the shooting, he
walked into a vacant lot and stab-
bed himself where he was found
within a few minutes, semicon-
scious and bleeding badly, by a 14-
year-old youth.
