SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 27.—The fate of the unwanted San Francisco Seals may be determined when the Pacific Coast League directors meet here Wednesday.
Owner Paul I. Fagan announced Saturday he doesn't want the club anymore. He'll turn it over to anyone "for a reasonable consideration."
Damon Miller, secretary of the Seals, said the club would not be represented at Wednesday's meeting. Fagan is in Hawaii. Miller went to Yakima, Wash., to sell the Seals' three-quarters interest in the Yakima club to residents of that city.
The Yakima deal has been pending for some time and is not connected with Fagan's move to get rid of the Seals.
