The Pacific Coast club SorelS
missed Fullback Joe Perry and
Linebacker Hardy Brown after
injuries forced them out of last
Sundays game with the Giants in
New York. Perry had an ailine
foot and bruised ribs before play
began and wasn't at his best. The
Forty Miners also missed Jim
Cason. a key man in the teams
defense.

To top it all, Quarterback
frankie Albert suffered a frac-
tured cheekbone which required a

some protective device can be
found that will enable Albert to
play, but if Frankie can't appear
Shaw still has Y. A. Title. The
one-time Baltimore Colt star has
had a pretty good season and will
be troublesome for the Washing
ton secondary.
Shaw. speaking at a football
luncheon in New York yesterday,
praised the Giants defense. which
held San Francisco's running at
tack to a net 35 yards. Hugh
McElhenny. the teams sensational
rookie who led the league in
ground gaining until Sunday,
picked up only four yards and
lost the lead to the Giants Eddie
Price.
Part of this can be blamed on
Perry's loss. for the hard-hitting
Negro fullback's inside linebucks
and McElhenny's sweeps con-
trived to keep the defense loose
In previous games. The Giants
concentrated on keeping Nc
Elhenny bottled up on the inside
and succeeded in doing it.

member of the Redskins who was
released for some unexplainable
reason, Hardy's shoulder "block"

It is a rib-shattering maneuver.

The Forty-NinerS are encamped
ut Bear Mountain near New York
City, where Shaw can keep his
young mems minds on football,
particularly their last two games.
For a f1ve-game spell. the Forty
Miners were unbeatable. The
Bears came from behind to dump
them the first time, and the
Giants exploded the myth of in
vincibility last week.
The Redskins would like to do
their part in reducing the West

the Redskins have a lot more to

Court Ruling Cited.
The court ruled that any overt

binding on those found to be CO.
conspirators in Maryland, even
though the Maryland operators
never set foot in Washington.
Another nice point of law In
the Nelson case will have an i'm

count of operating a lottery in

far more serious charge of con-

gambling laws.

Robert G. Kirby. under suspension
from the homicide squad, and for
mer Precinct Detective James E.
Lowry, who retired from the force

|scribed as Office employees of the
syndicate.
The bulk Of the testimony ano
evidence placed the activities o1
these nine in the syndicate's vari-
Gus headquarters across the Dis.
Itrict line in Maryland.
Appeals Question Raised.
l One question to be raised II
|appeals in behalf of the nine is
!, Since the jury found they wer'
not parties to the conspiracy. how
can they be convicted Of gambling
in the. District when the Govern
ment's testimony places them out
side this Jurisdiction?
Another question raised by tn
verdict Is:
Was the jury thinking NOR
in terms of simple justice thai
in the strict letter of the Law
when it found the five princi
pals guilty on two counts, and tn
assistants guilty only of the lessee
offenSe.
Conspiracy carries a maximum
of five years in prison plus fine O

three-year maximum, and the flint
