ings on the matter. It's multi
million-dollar stuff. A major
league franchise is one of the
more attractive possessions.
Maybe the Kohinoor diamond
would be nicer to leave to the
children, but a major league
franchise is better inheritance
material than a following we'd
ding dress.
So, the Griffiths are making a
living in Washington. But let's
take one statistic from last
season. In 1856 the Detroit
Tigers drew 36,122 customers in
IL games in Washington. In six
other American League cities the
Tigers drew anywhere from lD5.-
900 in Cleveland to 1873, los IN
New York. Think the Tigers
would strenuously oppose a shift
of the Senators franchise?
Cal has a wife and three
children. Sherry Robertson, farm
club director, has wife and
two children. Billy Robertson
has a wife and two children and
so does his brother Jimmy. Joe
Haynes has a wife and a young
Ister to consider. If they can
make mountain of money else
where by comparison with what
they make in Washington, there's
temptation to move along.
It's business. If things are en-
lcouraging in Washington, where
your roots are. that's where you
stay. But if things don't look too
promising in Washington and
you have other cities offering
you this much attendance, a new
stadium, plenty of parking
space, this privilege, that adj
vantage. you're No. / boob Of
the United States unless you
weigh the possibilities.
The uncertain status of the
proposed stadium in Washing
ton contributes to the shakiness
of the situation. Action would
seem to be imperative.
From a baseball standpoint,
it's D-Day in Washington. The
club has been 10 years in the
second division. Never a hope Of
winner in that time. Fans may
have ample excuse for not being
stirred about the Senators. Since
last season there certainly has
been no occasion to become
exhilarated.
But. like it or not, this is a
year of decision for the Senators.

team wound up its first week OF
spring football practice with a
good scrimmage yesterday, caus-
ing Coach 30 Sherman to COM
ment. This could be the best
group we've had since I've been
at CIV"
Sherman was talking Of a first
team only. because he is troubled
with a shortage of linemen to
form second team. The first
group is made up of veterans OF
the squad that compiled a 7-1-l
record last season and won the
Sun Bowl game.
Sherman has shifted Halfback
Dick Claypool to fullback. and
otherwise went with a flrst-team
backfield of Quarterback Ray
Looney. Halfbacks Ted Colna
and Mike Somner yesterday. "A
darn good group" he called it.
