to the NBA Board of Governors
meeting which began Tuesday in
San Diego and said he would have
recommendations for both the city
of his choice — which he would not
disclose — and alternatives in case
that city was overruled.
Brown and Braves President
Norm Sonju met with Dallas Mayor
Bob Folsom for more than an hour
and both sides agreed the basketball
team won a few concessions in the
city’s proposed 37-page rental ar-
rangment for the Convention Cen
ter Auditorium which would serve
as Braves’ home court until comple
tion in 1980 of an 18,000-seat arena.
“I can’t really say it (announce
ment of the Braves’ new home) is
imminent,” Brown said at a news
conference at the site of the new
arena. “But we are prepared for the
league meeting. It is important that
we make the right decision.”
During the conference. Brown
said he would go before the NBA
advisory committee Tuesday and
determine if there is room on the
league’s two-day agenda for consid
eration of his franchise switch. If
not, he said it would not be “un
common” for a special meeting to be
called in from 10 days to two weeks.
“I’ve really struggled with this
decision and once you move, it’s got
to be right,” the Louisville busi
nessman and former owner of the
ABA Kentucky Colonels said.
“Frankly I’ve had three concerns
about Dallas.
“First is the temporary arena.
Also, I’ve been more of a cold-
weather advocate for pro basketball.
Your colder weather markets have
been stronger, but Dallas is not as
warm in the winter as, say, San An
tonio or New Orleans.
“Third is where are we going to fit
in in the Dallas sports market with
the Cowboys and even Mr. (Brad)
Corbett’s baseball team (Texas Ran
gers.)
“But I feel all the elements are
here for a successful NBA franchise.
The only other towns I’ve really
looked into were Minneapolis and
Long Island, Nassau.
“I’ve worked hard during the last
six weeks and believe we ll be pre
pared with an intelligent presenta
tion. We didn’t get everything we
wanted, like parking and conces
sions but I think we’ve done about
all we can here.”
Folsom said he was prepared to
fly to San Diego today in case
the NBA officials wanted a show of
civic support from Dallas.
“I really am more encouraged (af
ter meeting with Brown), perhaps
falsely so,” said Folsom, a part
owner in the ABA Dallas Chaparrals
which moved to San Antonio and
survived the merger with the NBA.
“Brown is a delightful guy that I
cannot pin down.” Folsom said.

the second day of official practice
rounds.
Spectators swarmed the Cherry
Hills Country Club course, jam
ming every available vantage point
on the manicured 7,083-yard layout
in an effort to watch their favorite
players.
A carnival atmosphere prevailed
and infected many of the players,
who are feeling out the course prior
to the start of tournament play
Thursday. Many took time from
their rounds to chat with fans and
sign autographs, and several showed
a sense of humor that doesn’t often
come across on the television
screen.
Lee Trevino apologetically de
clined to sign autographs during the
practice, explaining he does so only
after he finishes for the day.
“Somebody comes up and shoves
a Magic Marker in your face and the
next thing you know, your shirt
looks like you’ve been playing tic-
tac-toe on it,” Trevino said. “Hell, I
bet I throw away 30 shirts a year.”

One sunburned lady couldn’t be
lieve it when her companion said
that was Trevino about to tee off.
“He’s not as chunky as he looks on
TV,” she said. “I guess I’m going to
have to have my set adjusted.”
Chi Chi Rodriguez, the clown
prince of professional golf, attracted
a large gallery and told a pretty,
young fan he would autograph her
program “only if you swear you love
me and I am your favorite golfer.”
She swore and he signed.
Perpetual favorite Arnold Palmer
and Andy Bean exchanged banter
on one of the practice greens, where
Bean was chasing balls for another
player practicing out of the sand.
“That has to be the most expen
sive shag-boy in golf,” Palmer said,
referring to Bean’s two straight wins
at the Kemper Open and last week’s
Danny Thomas Memphis Classic.
“Talk about making money in
golf,” Bean quipped to the gallery.
“That’s old moneybags himself.”
“Oh, I don’t know,” Palmer re
torted, indicating his caddy, who
married his daughter last week.
