The Senator's temporarily, at
least, may direct their atten-
ton to the baseball aspects Of
the baseball business. A rather
tranquil stockholders meeting
yesterday failed to erupt into
a series of explosions, as some
had expected, and on the sur
face all is quiet.
There will be some delving
into various aspects of the
organization, to be sure, but
for the moment H. Gabriel
Murphy is content to state,
"Great progress has been made.
I'm happy to hear Calvin Grit
nth declare that the club will
remain here, that committee
is studying the ACCESSIBILITY of
hiring a general manager and
that the adoption of an audit

pared statement. He offered
four resolutions, was defeated
on each and later said. amia-
bly,, Lets concentrate on get

For the first time in history
the meeting was thrown open
to the press at the insistence
of C. Leo Dorsey. attorney
representing the Grifiths. A
rumor had circulated that a
newspaper columnist, who didn't
show up, had purchased a share
Of stock and would attend the
meeting. Dorsey invited all
newSmen to sit in.
Procedure Questioned
The procedure was questioned
by Joel Barlow, one of four at
torneys representing Murphy.
who said he had searching
questions" to ask. He expressed
willingness to ask them in the
presence of reporters but de-
clared he didn't want to en-
barrass anyone.
Dorsey countered with,
"There is nothing to hide as
far as we're concerned" Re-
porters remained through a seS-
sion which was tame, but which
explored exhaustively the f.
nancial structure of the club,
including small purchases of
stock and the transfer of shares
in. the Griffith voting trust.
When Barlow asked if any
officers or directors had pur-
chased stock in 1857 an indig-
nant Dorsey said, Its not
any Of your business as far as
my stock is concerned" but
Attorney John E. Powell dis
closed he had bought IA shares
from the estate of Benjamin S.
Minor at $125; that the club
had purchased one share from
the estate of Edward B. Eynon,
jr., at $65, and that 600 shares
were transferred in the voting
trust in 1856.
