.FiIchock Due TO Beqin
Workouts Today After
Signing With Colts
Special Dispatch TO The Stor

BALTIMORE. Nov. 9.-Frank
Filchock was scheduled to work
out for the first time with the
Colts today, after signing with the
Baltimore club yesterday for the
remainder of the 1850 National
Football League season. The Colts
have four games to play, includ-
ing Sundays contest at Pitts
burgh.
Coach Glen Grove was not pre-
pared to say just where or how
the one-time Redskin and New
York Giant quarterback will be
used. The Colts have two signal
callers and passers in Adrian
Burk and Y. A. little. and 1t Is
questionable whether Filchock will
be ready to substitute for either
by Sunday. But the time
Indiana ace also can punt. pass
and carry the ball. and might be
used as halfback.
Filchock, suspended by Com
missioner Bert Bell after the 1916
Giant-Chicago Bears title play
off game for failure to report an
attempted bribe by a small time
New York gambler, was reluctant
to discuss that phase of his career
with Baltimore newspapermen
yesterday. He preferred to talk
about his more recent activities
in the Canadian Big Four Foot
ball League.
Montreal Teams Star.
Coach and star player with the
Montreal AIouettes in the Cana
dian League. Filchock was warmly
received across the border after
his suspension in this country.
His signing with the Colts ap-
parently took the Alouette man
agement by surprise. although he
apparently was free to do so since
the Canadian League has COM
p1eted its 1850 season.
Filchock's two-year contract
with the Alouettes expired this
season and the Associated Press
reported he had made no commit
mentS as to whether he would
return to that club next year.
In Montreal, however, Leo Dam
durand, president of the Alouettes,
was quoted by the AP as saying
that Filchock's service with the
Colts would be only for the re-
mainder of the 1850 season.
Belongs to Alouettes."
"Filchock belongs to the Alou-
cites, lives in Canada the year
around and has signed only to play
three games with the Colts" Dam
durand added. He said that Fill
chock definitely" would be back
next year for the Canadian foot
ball season, which ends several
weeks before the season in the
United States.
Filchock, whose suspension was
lifted last July by Bell, helped
coach the University of Indiana
squad in spring practice and one

A's-Nat Night Opener
To Be League S First
BY the Assoeioted Press

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 9.-The
Athletics started their 1851 ticket
sales campaign yesterday and with
the opening came these news
items:
/. Bing Miller, outfield star of
the AS halcyon days two decades
ago, has been re-appointed coach.
2. The Athletics will play their
first opening game under the lights
April II with Washington furnish
ing the opposition.
8. Rome, N, Y, of the Class c
Canadian-American League will
join the Athletics farm system.
All of the announcements came
from Arthur Ehlers, recently ap-
pointed general manager.
It will be Miller's second year
with the club as coach. Bing re-
called that he and Manager JIM
my Dykes had been together in
UdSCUd1l CASCPU dbOuU oCNCll SCol .
since they played for Atlanta after
World War I.
And now I've got to put up
with Dykes another year." he said
with a grin.
Although no American League
opening game ever has been
played at night, st. Louis broke
through precedent in the National
League last year by opening under
the lights.
The Athletics have received per-
mission from President Will Har-
ridge of the American League to
play 33 games at night.
In announcing the addition of
Rome to the clubs farm system.
Ehlers said other changes would
be made, and in all probability
the system will include less than
the Is clubs that worked with the
AS last season.
But the new general manager
pointed out the Athletics def
nitely will keep their associations
with two Glass A teams-Lincoln,
Nsbr.. and Savannah, Ga.

Radio and TV
Get Blame for
Revenue Drop
Owners Believe Costs
Justified if Minors
Find Needed Talent
BY the Assoeioied Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-Farm
system baseball cost major league
clubs at least IS million in 1850.
according to a survey by the Asso-
ciated Press, but most owners feel
it was worth 1t.
A majority of club owners
blamed radio, first, and television.
to a lesser degree, for some Of
the general attendance decline in
their minor league holdings.
Almost without exception they
believed farm costs are justified
because baseball could not con-
tinue without the chains. Most
of the present major leaguers are
farm products.
Exact figures on costs are al
most impossible. The boys still
are adding up the books in many
cities. Some clubs charge sal
aries of optioned players to the
big leagues. Others add this to
farm operations.
Cards Farms Made Money.
Some charge off costs Of ball
parks over a period Of years. Some
include scouting salaries and ex-
penses on the major league pay
roll. Others make the farms take
a share Of the scout payroll. Most
are reluctant to give out actual
figures. even If available.
Fred Saigh, st. Louis Cardinals
owner, reported his farms made
money for the last four years; less
this year, but still profit. He
blamed radio and television for.
some of the decline, particularly
at Allentown, due to its proximity
to Philadelphia.
Calvin Griffith, vice president Of
the Washington club. estimated
the cost of the Mats farm system
this year would run somewhere
between $250,000 to 100000" He
said final figures aren't avail
able yet.
Griffith said the last two years
have been bad for farm opera
tions. He said that all the way
around there has been some loss.
but there have been good years
when the Mats have just about
broken even in their farm club
setup."
Mats Own Six Clubs.
The Mats own six farm clubs
outright and have working agree
ments with half a dozen or so
others, Griffith said.
Pittsburgh said its farms cost
100000. General Manager Roy
Hamey said the cost was within
reason" if it could produce one or
two major leaguers year.
The Chicago Cubs declined to
give costs, reporting they "equaled
or surpassed" those of others. The
Cubs had a good word to say for
TV, feeling it might create added
interest.
Brooklyn. now in the process of
reorganization since the departure
of Branch Hickey, estimated the

Eagles Success
Offers Formula
For Redskins
NeuIe Club Once Had
Similar Difficulties;
KeIIison Gets Credit
By Lewis F. Atchison

The Philadelphia Eagles prob
ably will beat the Redskins again
Sunday at Griffith Stadium, but
they also may give their morale a
boost, for the visitors once were
a team like the 1850 Redskins
potentially good but unable to buy
a victory.
Philadelphia's roster and the
National Football League record
book give evidence that Coach
Greasy Neale had faith in his key
players when the team wasn't
winning and the fans were clamor-
ing for a change. Neale stub
bornly persisted in developing the
men he had and three trips to the
championship playoff in the last
three years and two league titles
have borne out his judgment.
Have Some Real Old Timers.
The Eagles roster includes
13-year veteran like Alex Wojcie-
choWicz. who, at 225 pounds, is
as trim as he's ever been in the
pro circuit. Vic Sears and AL
Wlstert, tackles, have been with
the club 10 and eight years, re-
spectively, while Guards Frank
kllroy and Duke Maronic have
spent seven each in PHILADELPHIA
livery.
Vic Lindskog, seven-year vet,
is having one of his best seasons
at center, and Tommy Thompson.
nine years a pro, is going as we'll
as ever although only 18th among
the leagues passers. End Jack
Ferrante has been an Eagle eight
years and Halfbacks Russ Craft,
Bosh Pritchard and Steve Van
Buren, five, six and seven in that
order.
A glance at the Eagle brochure
makes you wonder if Neale did all
his scouting in home for the
aged. but it also emphasizes the
point that good football teams are
put together slowly, not overnight.
Sound judgment in material Sc
lection helps, too.
Credit to Kellison.
Honest John" Kellison, Neale's
right-hand man, is given much
of the credit for his boss success.
Kellison, who scouts games with
out taking notes and can tell more
about either team than his furi-
ously seribbling confreres. is an
astute judge of talent. He per-
suaded Neale to keep End Johnny
Green, now regarded as the Eagles
best defensive end, who was picked
up from the Buffalo Bills of the
ALL America Conference.
Kellison is consulted on all per-
sonnel problems and Greasy pays
close attention to Honest Johns
observations. Kellison is re-
sponsible for the presence of a
number of the Eagles old men.
vets like Wolfe, who wouldn't last
a week with another organization
but who hold key positions with
the Eagles.
The Redskins may be going
through the same growing pains
experienced by the Eagles dec
ade ago when they couldn't win
for losing. The big question is
whether Coach Herman Ball has
the men who will develop into a
winning combination with time
and experience. Ball thinks he
has.

was feared ended by a knee in

Plan Ok'd

OLYMPIA, Jan. 81 -tAP) -
Governor Larglie disclosed to.
day he has directed the state
highways department to pro-
coed with its plan for a S4.5O0,-
600 Pacific Highway Freeway
route through Vancouver.
He directed the department to
proceed, he said, after receiving
word from the Vancouver city
commission that it had approved
the plan at a recent meeting.
Protests to the project were
raised some time ago so Langlie
met with representatives of all
factions Jan. 3. At that time he
told the Vancouver officials to
decide themselves whether the
state should build the project.
The legislature appropriated
$1,600,OOO for the initial stage
of the 2.3-mile four-lane free
way.
