The Regal Clothiers' basket ball

today after one of the lowest-scoring
games of importance within the last
few years. Bureau of Investigation

last night at Tech by a 20-17 count.
Regal took a 60 lead at the start
and did not have that margin lessened

main trouble was their inability to do
anything about Hal Kiesel, former

final difference between the teams.

by routing the Chambers five, 47-3l.

Master Businessman George p. Mar
shall is becoming q little altruistically
concerned over what he considers the
not-so-keen business acumen Of one
Samuel Adrian Baugh. Mr.. Marshall,
1t seems, has read some statements at
tributed to Baugh from Florida, where
he was trying to become the regular
third baseman for the st. Louis Car
dinals until today when he was sent
to a minor league club for develop
ment.
To those who know Mr.. Marshall
only as the owner of the Washington
Redskins, whom Baugh practically
slung into the professional football
championship last December, 1t must
seem that the cleanup kings emo
tions are not altogether unselfish. The
Skins wouldn't look the same next fall
If Baugh's alleged thoughts about quit
ting pro football for big league base
ball materialize into action.
But didn't we say the Redskin chief
was concerned altruistically? That
must mean that he is concerned over
Baugh's future as well as his own.
Without further ado, we let George p.
speak for himself and, he hopes, for
the benefit Of Baugh.
Calls Baseball Tougher.
If Sammy Baugh thinks big league
baseball is softer and easier to make
money in than pro football, he's got
another think coming" begins the
man who fast is becoming pro foot
balls Patrick Henry. TITS just about
twice as hard all around, and I'll let
the records prove it.
How long Is the baseball season?
Counting spring training, about eight
months. How long do we play pro
football? Not quite four months. And
yet man like Baugh can, in half
the time, earn more than the average
big league veteran earns for two
thirds of a years work. And remem-
Der, a regular infielder like Baugh
wants to be plays 154 games a season.
Our schedule calls for II games-one
week, not one day. And what
football player plays more than three
quarter Of any game his team en-
cages in?
If q big Lacquer is not a star, but
only an average performer, he may
get $4,000 a season. That's approxi-
mately $40 game. NO man on the
Redskin team last year got less than
$l25 game and he has eight months
to earn living any other way he
wants before starting in football again.
Those who never have played foot
ball, especially women, see 200-pound
linemen lock arms and legs and a
190-pound ball carrier being thrown
to the ground by 240-pound tackle.
What punishment they moan, I
wouldn't go through that for a heap
of money
But they're the ones who don't
know football players, especially pro-
fessionals, know how to fall how to
protect themselves otherwise from
injury.

HEADLEY, K|LMER
MAKE DERBY BIDS
Veteran Turfmen's Menow
and Nedayr Rate Among
Best in Classic.
(This is the second OF a series
on the outstanding candidates for
the Kentucky. Derby.)
BY ORLO ROBERTSON.
Associated Press Sports Writer.

Associated Press Sports Writer.
NEW YORK, April 5.-Two horse
men Of the old school, Hal Price
Headley and Willie Sharpe Kilmer,
present widely different pair Of out
standing candidates for the May 7
running of the $4,000 Kentucky
Derby at Churchill Downs.
Headley, hardboot from Lexington,
KY, offers the front-running Menow
as his threat to the Nations best
3-year-olds. Kilmer, Binghamton, N.
Y, publisher with home in Virginia,
challenges with Nedayr, a son Of
Neddie, that appears to do his fastest
running in the homestretch.
Although he has been one OF Amer
ica's leading owners and breeders for
many years. Headley has yet to send
out Derby winner.
Kilmer has not seen his colors borne
to the front in the Blue Grass classic
since Exterminator won in 1918.
Neither Menow nor Nedayr has
started this year, but off their 2-year-
old form and fine trials they rate
right behind Stagehand and Fighting
Fox in pre-race calculations. Some
argue they should be placed ahead
Of the Fox.
Menow Has World Mark.
Menow was the undisputed 2-year-
old champion of 1887. He started six
times, won three, placed second twice
and earned $65,825. He established
a word record of l:151s for 6la fur
longs down straightaway in the Bel
mont Futurity.
The Headley colt, son of Phara-
mond I'd. developed leg injury pre-
pairing for the Pimlco Futurity. At one
time this winter there was some doubt
whether he would stand training for
the Derby. But now from Headley
and his trainer-nephew, Duval Head
ley, comes word the colt is in fine
condition. Menow spent the winter
at Hialeah Park, but will arrive this
week at Keeneland, where his final
trial for the Derby will come in the
Blue Grass stakes.
"Menow Is doing very well, indeed"
said his trainer. we consider his
chances for the Derby very good. The
leg he injured in Maryland last fall
is in fine condition He has been
breezing well and recently went 6
furlongs in l:1445. I'm not what
you'd call betting man, but I might
place little sentimental bet on Menow
when the time comes"
Nedayr arrived" Late.
Nedayr came along last year to win
the Pimlico Futurity and Walden
Handicap after most of the top-notch
2-year-olds were in winter quarters.
Although he started nine times, won
three, was second twice and third
once to earn $38,69
He has not missed day of training
this winter at Remlik Hall, Va. He
has grown considerably, standing Just
under Is hands and weighing over
1000 pounds.
Il believe Nedayr's chances are as
good as any" said his trainer. w. A.
Crawford. He did just about every
thing We could wish as a 2-year-old
In winning the Pimlico Futurity and
Walden. We are ready to meet any
Of them"
Nedayr will remain at Remlik Hall
until April 10, when he will be shipped
to Belmont Park. Like Fighting Fox,
he will receive his final Derby trial in
the Wood Memorial at Jamaica
April 80.
