Bremerton Franchise Up For Sale
BREMERTON, July 27—Baseball fans sought means today to save the city's franchise in the Western International league.
Announcement by W. W. Shepherd, president of the Bremerton club, that he was ready to put his majority stock interest on the block, was followed shortly by reports that two Northwest cities have entered negotiations. They were not identified.
Shepherd said he wanted to sell because he plans to move to Seattle within a month.
Sponsoring the funds drive is the Bremerton hot stove league. The group scheduled a meeting in the office of mayor L. Hum Kean to discuss the proposed purchase.
