Griesmer Will Remain
As Pro al Bethesda;
Sherier Resigns

Harry Griesmer will stay on as
the golf pro at Bethesda Country
Club and has a vote of confidence
from the clubs Board of Directors
to back him up.
The board backed Griesmer at
a special meeting last night called

submitted his resignation from
the committee post and Griesmer
also dropped in his papers from
the pro job. A special meeting
was called for last night to re-
consider the matter.
Last night the board shelved
Griesmer's resignation and &C.
cepted Sherier's. It also unani-
expressed its "wholeheart-
ed appreciation Of the club for his
(Griesmer's) outstanding contri-
buttons to the golf program"
William E. Durbin was appointed
as new chairman of the Golf

BOSTON, Nov. 27.-The Braves
delegation headed for the winter

Nancy, the clubs treasurer;
Daniel Mari, Joseph and Leonard
Rugo, Joseph O'Connell, Frank
IMcCort, Jay Cole and the estate
of Frank G.. Allen. former Massa-

According to recent financial
reports, the Braves, who drew only
81,278 in paid attendance last
season, lost about 100000 this
year and more than 81 million
dollars since 1949. The Perinis

Taylor Unheralded.
The selection of Laurel's Tay-
lor,, who received almost no pub
licity this season, may come as a
surprise. Earl, a 195-pounder who
was the fastest man on his team
scored 13 touchdowns in six games
and made five extra points.
There can be no argument over
the choice of Corse. The B-CC
Itailback was pound for pound the
best back in the area. At 155, he
ran hard and was elusive. but his
throwing was the Barons' biggest
asset. Corse can pitch far ano
accurately. When B-CC won il

with his players.
They just overpowered u.s." he
said. Our boys went out and
played fine first half, but it
took too much out of us. We
couldn't stop them in the second
