One Of three groups interested
in the purchase Of the club has
accountants working on the club
books this week.
One group Is a syndicate
headed by v. c. Blumenthal,
theatrical producer.
Another Is two of three million
aires who actually had the club
bought last April when one Of
the three died as they were about
to sign the papers. The survivors
are trying to find o third friend
to take their dead partners
place.
The third prospective purchaser
is Jock Whitney, multimillionaire
sportsman of turf fame.
The best bid so far made for
IA per cent Of the stock Of the
club is Whitney's $1.900,O0O.
StOneham and McGraw Stock
This u per cent includes the
So per cent of the total stock
now owned by Charles A. Stone
ham and the holdings Of John
j. McGraw and Judge Francis K.
McQuade. These three have an
iron-clad contract whereby no one
may sell his interest without the
consent Of the other two. Here
tofore this was considered an
insurmountable stumbling block
to sale of the club, because these
men have at various times shown
themselves to be about as friendly
as a mongoose and a cobra. But
this difficulty has been troned
out and neither McQuade nor
McGraw has been unreasonable
in the price asked for their stock.
If the Blumenthal interests get
the club, McGraw will retain his
holdings and Gasa@ J. WaakeA,

Good Sport Town

Washington is basically a
good sport town. There are
dozens of worse ones which
we all could name on our fin
gers and toes. Yet the Capital
is a smart and discerning
sports center and is not easy
to be taken in more than
once. Joe Turner and frankie
Mann, wrestling and fight
matchmakers par excellence,
can vouch for the public re-
action whenever one Of their
attractions happens to 60 awry.
AS 7 understand the local
pro schedule, the other teams
to come will not be of the
caliber to steam roll them I'm.
der as did the Chicago Bears,
and it would be better for the
sport if more evenly balanced
elevens met locally.

and uninteresting while the
scores are being amasSed and

Walker, examining physician for

Commission, was instrumental in
bringing together Blumenthal and
Stoneham.
Denies Sale
Stoneham, who never admits
the sun is shining unless forced
to do so, denies the club Is for
sale, but he did the same thing
even after he had the contract
for the sale all drawn up last
April. He told one Of the ne
gotiators last week he wanted no
publicity until the deal was
finished.
Two million dollars is consid-
cred a reasonable price for ap-
proximately a three-quarter in
terest in the club.
The club has still about 80
years to run on the Polo Grounds
lease. The stadium is one Of the
best in the world and the clubs
good will is carried on the books
at only 81.
The Giants have made little
money in recent years but in
good times dividends have run as
high as 40 per cent annually.
Prospective buyers are not over
looking the value of the Polo
Grounds as a site for football and
prize fights. 1t was the scene of

The Clemson squad as a whole

back, Henry Woodward, as the
youngster is just recovering from
bad knee injury.
From end to end Clemson'S
first team is just as heavy as
G. WIS. Every back is fast and
agile. The linemen appear to
be the fast charging, hard-driv-
ing type. If Woodward does not
start for Clemson, Willimon will
play quarterback, Stevens and
Cathart will be at the halves,
and McCown at fullback. This
combination gives Clemson an
interesting quartet behind the
line and one which may cause
q. w. q bit of trouble.

Court Rules Roy levin As
Solvent; Must Pay Expense
Of Witnesses During Trial

At brief session of criminal
court this morning, following a re-
cess ordered March 10, Judge j.
Vining Harris revoked the order
allowing the insolvency of Roy j.
Levin, as declared by him. at the
beginning of his trial for embezz-
lement on March ID.
Judge Harris told The Citizen
that he made an investigation of
the situation and had discovered
that the defendant at the time of
his declaration was, and is now,
solvent.
In making his order the judge
makes it incumbent on the defen-
dant to pay the costs of witnesses
summoned in his defense, and the
amount to be saved the county
will approximate 500.
The order reads in part as fol-
lows: Whereas the defendant at
the beginning of his trial filed an
affidavit of insolvency on the 18th
day of March, 1888, at which time
the court was informed that the
affidavit was true; and whereas
the court then and there after
due consideration thereof adjudg-
ed the defendant, Roy J. Levin,
to be insolvent;
And whereas the court was in
