he said, lis that the affairs OF
the club be in fact managed,

Griffith was not without his
supporters. Nelson Greller, a
five-share stakeholder, rose to
defend Griffith'S operation of the
club, as did Joe Zamoiski, whole
sale electrical appliance dealer,
and Jack Blank, automobile
dealer.
Field too Strong
When it came to a showdown,
in fact, it was Murphy with two
proxies against the field. And
the field was too strong at least
for the day.
Murphy said. LAS a stakeholder

sure that the franchise stays in
Washington where it belongs"
but an official of the club said,

Refuse Salaries
Clipping Murphy from his post
represents a $4,000 saving to
the club. since Jacobsen and De
Orsey declined to accept salaries.
No dividend was declared at
the meeting. which lasted two
and one-half hours.
Griffith made it clear that
Murphy was nominated for the
Board Of Directors by Billy Rob-
ertson, but then elected to resign
before the matter came to a
vote.

NEWCOMER DAzzLEs OPENING CROWD
Ice Copodes Fans Go
Wild Over Robertson

The spectators last night were
Ismitten also, but not to point
that they could not react. The
applause was deafening and pro-
longed. Robertson had to return
for an encore, a welcome chore
normally enjoyed only by the
Old Smothies. It has been said
by ice show people in the past
that Washington audiences are
not overly warm in their ap-
Iplause. Robertson disproved that
theory in one night.
Spins. loops and whirls Rob-
ertson dispatched with ease. but
the finale Of his act dropped
lower Jaws. Practically every
one has seen ice skaters spin
like tops to close their numbers.
Robertson makes other spinners
seem like they're standing still.
In fact. he looks like ne is stand
ing still. so fast is he going.
Cathie Machado, another new
conner from California who also
competed in last years OlyJnpics,
also is quite a spinner. The
comedy routine of Johnny La
bresque and Johnny Gray, the
romantic duet Of Bobby Specht
and Rosemary Henderson, the
badminton antics of Hugh
Forgie and Stig Larson, the
|laugh-provoking actions of Eric
Waite-all these and more make
this an ice show treat.
Chorus Pleases Again
Not too much can be said,
either, about the work of Rose
marie Stewart and Robert
bench, who originate those
beautiful and difficult numbers
by the chorus.
Things we did not like?-

characters the name implies, but
the act fell far short of ex-

Brinker bit, it suffers from the
same ailments of most so-called

shows: Weak in story. too much
trite dialogue and not suitable
for reproduction on ice. Panto-
mime is the logical communica-
ton device for ice shows and a

But the good points more than
make up for these slight short

GABE MURPHY'S STATEMENT

The following statement OF
resignation DaS read by. Fl.
Gabriel Murphy, treasurer, to
the Board of Directors of the
Washington Baseball Club at
the annual meeting yesterday:
"Mr. Chairman, have decided
I must vote against the re-elec-
ton of Mr.. Griffith. Mr.. Powell
and Mr.. Young. Not only must
/ vote against them in the best
interest of the club, but for the
same reason I cannot serve
with them either as a director
or officer.
! II believe I can be more eff
fective asserting my rights as a
stakeholder. as I did recently
at the time of the proposed
transfer of the franchise.
II never have had, and I do
not now have, any desire to
take over the management of
this club. My sole interest, and
in this I take second place to
no one. is that the Washington
Ball Club be operated on a sound
and intelligent basis so as to
give its loyal supporters the kind
of a team they deserve.
1 This is in the interest not
only of the stockholders but the
Washington community and the
great game of baseball"
Frozen Out, lie Says
Upon the death of our be-
loved leader, Clark Griffith, a
little over year ago, the man
agement of the club was recon-
stituted. Calvin Griffith was
named president and made re-
sponsible for the over all direc-
ton of the clubs affairs.
LAS treasurer. ! was to have
supervision of the financial
affairs of the club. The two Of
US. along with Messrs. Haynes.
Powell and Young, were elected
directors.
1T was my hope, as stated
at the time, that this arrange
ment would give the Washing.
ton Ball Club the kind Of leader
ship needed to hold the support
of the Washington fans and to
enhance the interests of the
stockholders and of the game of
baseball, Right from the be-
ginning, however, Calvin Griffith
took over the entire direction of
the club. and was frozen out.
With the acquiescence and
support of other directors, he
made it impossible for me as
treasurer to make the effective
contribution to management
contemplated in the original ar
arrangement.
During the course of the past
year, my proposals were con-
siStently rejected by a 4-to-1
vote of the Board Of Directors.
and many important matters af-
fecting the clubs welfare were
carried over my opposition by
the same 4-to-1 vote.
Thus. have had to come to
the conclusion that l cannot
convert bad management as a
director. so I must try to restrain
1T as a stakeholder. This have
done before.

Youth has taken over the spe-

crowd of more than 1000 as the
18th annual edition of the Ice

No review of this years show

cannot provide the club with any
leadership remotely resembling
that of Clark Griffith.
Il feel obliged to report to
you. not in any spirit of re-
termination. but so that you, as
stockholders, will have a better
picture Of what has beer
going on.
THE year 1856 has been the
low water mark in the clubs
affairs for many reasons. In the
area of the clubs management
in which Calvin Griffith has pri-
mary responsibility he has ex-
ercised no real leadership at all
THE administrative organiza-
ton is loose and incompetent
with inadequate fiscal controls
permitting waste and Irregular
titles in the handling of funds:
important matters, such as radio
and television contracts, have
been mishandled: the concession
and parking facilities, which are
among the clubs major assets,
are not operated properly or in
the best interests of the stock
holders Tor the public for that
matter. and finally. the attempt
to move the franchise to the
West Coast seriously impaired
the value of the clubs most
priceless asset-the wholehearted
support and confidence OF the
Washington fans.
Cites Rejection of Audit
MY efforts to introduce sound
financial management methods
and controls were resisted by
Calvin Griffith and the other
members of the board. They re-
fused to authorize a badly
needed audit. The need for such
an audit was confirmed to me
by Mr.. Chris Jacobsen. president
of the National Metropolitan
Bank. who for many years has
been the clubs banker. For lack
of auditing procedures. practices
were permitted to continue.
which recent events. such as the
shortage in the ticket sales
account. have shown to be seri-
ously in need of correction.
THE audit which l finally
had made at my own expense
disclosed a Nery bad situation
with a complete lack of financial
controls over ticket sales. con-
cessions, payrolls. and farm club
operations.
THE foregoing are but the
initial manifestations of the
central difficulty which the
Washington Ball Club faces.
THE affairs of this corpora
ton are not being conducted
by a responsible board of direc-
tors selected By the Washington
stockholders. but by Calvin Crit
fifth, and they are not being
in the interest of all
of the stockholders. Moreover,
it is apparent that the board
of directors and the stockholders
are. II the present management
continues. to have even less to
say about the affairs Of the
corporation.
Overruled on Amendment

vote and over my objection,

the same time amended the by
laws so as to deprive the stock
holders of any right to make
changes in the bylaws.
Il have the greatest confidence
in the future Of baseball in
Washington. I am certain. how
ever. that this club cannot realize
its full potential under the man.

will have to be a change. While

l want to emphasize that am

not proposing that it be replaced
with Murphy management.
What I am proposing is that
the affairs of the club be ir
fact managed, regulated anc
controlled by the board of di-
rectors, as the law and the clubs
bylaws require, and that the
principal executive responsibility
be lodged in a competent ano
experienced baseball man.
To-day you have been told OF
certain contemplated improve
mentS in the clubs auditing ano
internal control procedures, ano
of a long overdue strengthening
of the board of directors.
am glad they have hurried into
this meeting with these pro-
posals. and certainly hope they
are put into effect. These are
some of the proposals which ]
repeatedly made over the past
year and urged again at meet
lings within the past few days
Praises New Officers
Il am glad that Mr.. Jacobsen
and Mr.. De Orsey are willing
to serve on the board. / have
had many discussions with Mr.
Jacobsen about the clubs finan-
cial problems. and I am encour-
aged to think that he and Mr.
De Orsey will bring real under
standing to bear in solving them
Il am also glad the controlling
stockholders finally moved up to
get an outside audit and a con-
troller, but it is unfortunate
that they did not do this at a
much earlier date. ! might point
out that a year ago I had asSur-
ances that complete audit, in
Guiding the farm club, would be
made, AS l reported to you
earlier today. no such audit is
yet available.
Il want to emphasize that
bear no personal grudge against
Mr.. Griffith. Mr.. Young. or Mr.
Powell. They have simply shown
they are not up to the job, and
they should not be elected. The
Washington Baseball Club is
bigger than any one family or
any one stakeholder.
1T should be operated for all
stockholders. and in the best
interests of baseball. Moreover,
1T belongs in the Nations Capital
where its heritage and traditions
are a great asset both to the
club and to baseball.
Promises Further Action
by refusing to support these
directors who have turned their
backs on Washington. we can
dispel all doubts as to whether
the club is going to stay here.
There should be no recurrence
of what happened this fall. /
am sure that Clark Griffith
would have wanted it this way.
II want to make it very clear
that it is the manner in which
these men have conducted the
affairs of the club during the
past year that has made it i'm
possible for me to continue to
serve with them on the board or
as an officer. AS a stakeholder
l will be in position to make
sure that the franchise stays in
Washington where it belongs.
Moreover. so long as con-
tinue to hold my stock, and
assure you / will hold it, shall
continue to do everything in my
power. either alone or in con-
junction with other stockholders.
to correct the present situation
and to prevent further mis-
management and waste.
II ask the secretary to make
this statement a part of the min
utes Of this stockholders meet
ing"
