race, possibly enough to hold off
the determining Nashua in the
Derby.
Remember Tom Fools victory
over Royal Vale in the Suburban
Handicap when they ran head
an dhead through the stretch?
That's the way it would be. in
my opinion, if Summer Tan
jumped out in front of Nashua
again-if he wasn't a tired horse
at the finish of the wood. That's
what we don't know.

The Associated Press reports
that George P. Marshall is look
ing into the baseball situation in
San Francisco for friends in
trested in putting a major league
team in that city. They have
the money to finance a club, the
Redskins chief said, adding that
he, personally. isn't interested in
baseball.

appointed scout for Clark Grit
fifth. George is a close and loyal
friend of the old gentleman and
has recommended players to him
before. One was Catcher Mickey
Grasso now with the Giants, and
another was Bill Skowron, the

than an amateur strategist.
When in town he often helps
out with the managing from a
box seat behind the dugout.
George and Bucky Harris shared

Another gentleman. best left
unnamed, thought enough of

baseball knowledge to offer to
buy the club if Marshall would

was a few years ago when the
Richardson block of stock was
available, and subsequently
passed into the hands of Gabe
Murphy. There were witnesses
who heard the conversation, and
who heard George say, mo

he'll be glad to look into such
