Nashua Likely FavOrite.
The almost certain favorite is
Nashua, backed by three of the
greatest names in American rae
ing-Owner William Woodward,
jr., Trainer Sunny Jim Fitzsim-
mons and Jockey Eddie Arcaro.
Mr.. Fitz has never saddled a
Futurity winner, although he has
copped most of the country's
major prizes. Arcaro has won
three with Battlefield, First
Light and Our Boots.
Nashua defeated Summer Tan
by a neck in the $4,000 Hopeful
Stakes at Saratoga in August,
but Mrs. Firestone's pride re-
versed things last month by
beating the Belair flash in the
Cowdin Stakes at Aqueduct.
Summer Tan smashed the
Aqueduct track record.
Last Friday Nashua won over
Royal Coinage, Georgian and
others in the Anticipation Purse
at Belmont, and equaled the
track record on the Widener
Course.
II think we're going into the
race with a disadvantage" said
Sheriff. Ward, trainer of Sum-
mer Tan.
Summer Tan has run down
the (WideneD chute twice and
has been beaten twice-once py
Nashua. I don't mean to say
Summer Tan dislikes the chute.
but other horses like Nashua
really go for it. Take, for in
stance, True North, who set the
Widener course record for 6 fur
longs in 1914. He couldn't run
around a turn"
Fisherman Easy Winner.
In yesterdays Lawrence Real
ization Stakes at Belmont, Fish
erman. Whitney's game little
colt, ran away from his rivals in
the stretch to win the 62d
running.
Fisherman, who first took the
lead on the back stretch, then
fell behind. came on again over
the last quarter mile and was
three lengths ahead of the
Wheatley Stables Full Flight as
he swept under the wire. Ogden
Phipps' Privacy, with Full Flight
an entry Of Fitzsimmons, was
third another length and a quar-
ter behind.
Fisherman, ridden by Hedley
Woodhouse, was topweighted for
the grueling mile and FIVE
eighths and carried his 122
pounds over the distance in the
comparatively slow time of
2:443s. AS solid favorite, he paid
$3.50.
Full Flight paid $2.10 to place.
No show betting was allowed be-
cause only five horses were en-
tered.
James Cox Brady's Artismo
was fourth, nine lengths behind
Privacy, and Foxcatcher Farms
elevation brought up the rear.
The victory in the $27,950
race was worth $4,000 to Whit
ney. Fisherman. a disappoint-
ment in the Triple Crown clas-
sizes earlier this year after he
had won the Gotham Stakes
only two weeks before the Ken
lucky Derby, now has won $780,
! sos in his two seasons of racing.

Bidding on Athletics
Could Get Stormy at
AL Meeting Tuesday
BY the Assoeioied Press

CHICAGO, Oct. 8.-The meet
ing Of American League club
owners in Chicago Tuesday to
try to decide what is going to
happen, if anything, to their
poor relatives, the Philadelphia
Athletics, could be a stormy one.
At present. the man of mys-
terry in the bidding for the clubs
franchise is Tommy Richardson
of Williamsport. Pa, president
of the Eastern League and a
member of the Athletics board
of directors.
Richardson is mystery only
to the extent that nobody seems
certain if he really has the back
ing of wealthy friends to the
tune of $3,750,000 to match the
bid of Arnold Johnson. the Chi
cago financier who wants to
move the club to Kansas City.
Tommy Reports Backing.
The Chicago Tribune said to-
day it has learned that Rich
ardson has told intimates he
has succeeded in raising funds
to meet the $3,750,000 purchase
price"
Will Harridge. American League
president, told the Chicago Sum-
Times:
81 talked to Roy Mack several
times during the day and he
made no mention of being able
to raise the money. Nor did he
say anything about Tommy
Richardson gaining enough
Philadelphia capital to buy out
the club and keep it there.
"I haven't heard from Rich
ardson directly either. AS a mat
ter of fact, he isn't even coming
to the meeting, as far as know"
Harridge added that John
son is the only bidder who has
backed it up with real money"
Johnson May Drop Offer.
The persistent Johnson, mean
while. is waiting for reports
from his corps of engineers.
contractors and architects on
whether there will be time to
double-deck the Kansas City
stadium to accommodate $4,000
fans before the season starts in
April.
IF there isn't time. I'll W tn
draw my Offer" johnson \ said.
September Is to 20 was sup
posed to be the deadline for
starting work."
johnson also said he eylected
to pay "a reasonable amount" to
the New York Yankees for their
Kansas City American Associa-
ton territory. The Yankees had
threatened to join the Washing
JOIl OC1IdCOIS d41d DCOI OLG AASCIO
to block the proposed shift to
Kansas City unless payment for
territorial rights was adequate.
Six of eight league clubs must
approve a franchise switch.
Veeck on Sidelines.
Roy Mack has strongly op-
posed his baseball pioneering
father, Connie, and brother,

If paid attendance does not meet
the minimum economy figure of
$750.000 he says he has six or
seven other cities in mind.

FORE AND AFT
By Molcolm Lomborne, Jr.

The frostbite sailing season is
close at hand. AS the name i'm
plies, it begins at about the time
of the first frost. But the sport
has reached such popularity the
season doesn't close until spring.
At one time frostbite racing
was confined exclusively to
dinghies. Now all you need for
a frostbite regatta is fleet of
any one of the many one-de-
signs that race hard all summer.
For instance, next month Light
ming Class sloops will be racing
off Quantico in the Marine Corps
invitation regatta.
And here at home, a group
of Comet Class sailors led by
such enthusiasts as Harvey LEX
son is planning a frostbite affair
off Columbia Yacht Club in No
vember.
Meanwhile, the second annual
Penguin frostbite series sane
toned by the Chesapeake Bay
Yacht Racing Association is
about to be launched. At stake
is perpetual trophy for the high
scoring .froStbiter who has no
less than eight regattas ahead
of him between now and next
February.
Here is the schedule for the
hardy souls who like racing

Bill Tenney, 38-year-old re-

ican Power Boat Association
official recently won three crowns
in two days Of racing at Pasco,

Court Orders Pennsy

BY the Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 49,
The U. S. District Court has
ordered the Pennsylvania Rail-
road to postpone curtailing serv-
ice on its New York-to-W Washing
ton and New rk-to-Phila-
delphia runs. The cutback had

tive next Monday.
Federal Judge George Welsh

permanent injunction will be
held next Friday.
The PRR planned to reduce
the number of trains between
Philadelphia and New York from
ia to 109 on weekdays, from
lot to 1903 on Saturdays and
from 102 to 81 on Sundays.
From Philadelphia to Wash
ington there would be one less

Virginia Senate Delays Vote
On Plan to Increase Gas Tax

doomed in the House of Dele
gates, despite arrival from the
State Senate today of a bill
designed to carry out the same
objective.
Only a tremendous reversal Of
sentiment in the lower branch
could revive the matter, which
was overwhelmingly voted down
by the House yesterday. The
Senate-approved bill does keep
the matter open, technically,
however.
The Senate voted. IS to 5, to
pass the bill of Senator Charles
r. Fenwick of Arlington. BY the
same count, it approved another
sales tax measure for Washing
ton County which, by amend
ment. was enlarged 20 include

But after an hours debase,

Committee of a measure for an

Sembly.
The committee voted, 7 to S,
in favor of the resolution of
Senators Fenwick and John A. K.

interim sessions of the Legisla-
ture.
For Tighter Water Controls.
Delegate Omer L. Hirst, long
critic of the numerous water
companies that are mushroom
ing in his home county of Fair
fax, today resorted to legisla-
ton to bring them under more
control.
In one bill he introduced to-
day. he would require that the
public be given specific infor-
nation on proposed changes in
rates or service charges.
Mr.. Hirst said he is not pre-
pared to try to correct the whole
situation at this session, but the
second bill he introduced today
is a step in that direction.
The bill would prohibit a COM
pany, as a condition for provid-
ing service, from requiring GUS
toners to pay for or donate the
water lines in front of their prop
erty.

Gov. Stanley's proposal for a
1-cent increase in the State
gasoline tax.
With only 10 of the 40 Sen
ators repeatedly backing the plan,
Chairman Robert o. Norris of

that the measure be by-passed
for the day.
With the Senate scheduled to
recess this afternoon. this &C

Kills Poll Tax Plan.
In another action, the House

tee voted 7 to to kill the Page

There are several similar meas
ures still before the committee,
but the plan Of Delegate Walter

as the simplest.
When the House went into

of trying to discharge the COM

aliens" whose ideas do not fol-
low the Virginia tradition"
The committee deferred action
until next week.
Only Mr.. Pickett and Attorney
John Locke Green of Arlington
appeared in opposition to the
legislation at a public hearing by
the House Privileges and Elec-
tions Committee. A large dele
cation from the 10th congress
sional district, including about 10
speakers. supported the proposal
Under consideration was the
Senate-approved bill of Charles
R. Fenwick of Arlington and
John A. K. Donovan Of Fairfax

boat owners ought to pay the
tax just as business men must
on their stocks and equipment.
The boat owners told the COM
mittee the tax is difficult to COL
lect. because boats move around
so much, and county assessors
are not qualified to place a value
on water craft. They main
tanned that rigid enforcement of
the tax would force many yacht
owners who winter their boats in
Chesapeake Bay to take them
elsewhere.
Another hearing yesterday was
on a bill by Delegate Gilbert
GUIDE. Republican, of Montgom-
cry. designed to encourage more
entertaining courses in Mary
land high schools. His bill would
raise the fee for driver instruc-
ton permits so cents a year from
the present 81 until a So level is
reached. That money would be
used to set up entertaining
courses in schools that want
them.
DR.. Thomas 8. Pullen, jr.,

and Washington I. Cleveland of

American Automobile AsSocia-
ton, were among those support
ing the measure before the

Bill Slated for Vote
Today 10 Give Utility
Taxes 10 All Counties
By Gene Goodwin
St1r Stoff Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS. Feb. The
Maryland House of Delegates was
scheduled to vote today on a bill
redistributing public utility cor
poration taxes to all the counties
of the State.
Some of the sting was taken
out of the bill by a House Ways
and Means Committee amend
ment delaying the effective date
of the measure until 1857.
Tax on Property.
Under the bill, introduced by
Delegate Horace Whitworth,
Republican. of Allegany, utilities
would be taxed according to the
amount of property they have
in each county. In other words,
it would be a personal property
tax.
The bill would mean an extra
$4,000 a year to Montgomery
County and $4,000 to Prince
Georges, officials estimated.
Meanwhile, the Senate yester-
day gave final approval to legis-
latiCn putting two license tags
back on Maryland auto bumpers
next year. The Legislature de-
Greco a one-tag system for Mary
land at last years session. be-
cause it would save about $780,
600 annually. But police have
now convinced the lawmakers
that having only one tag on cars
raises law enforcement problems
that can't be measured in dol
lars.
The Senate Judiciary Commit
tee was to vote today on bill ex-
empting all boats under 100 feet
long from the personal property
tax.
Two Protest.
Two committee members.
Senator Kenneth Mclaughlin,
Republican. of Washington. and
Stanford Hoff. Republican, of
Carroll. expressed opposition to
the measure after a hearing yes
terday. They said they believe
