Baltimore Has the Last Laugh
BY LEWIS +. ATcHlsoN

WIN OR LOSE THE REDSKINS and their Washington
followers due for roasting in Baltimore tonight when
they play the Colts We hear the host fans already
with their taunts of bush eaguers that apparently
we're losing the Senators.
The shoe has switched to the other foot Only few
years ago Baltimore had nothing aside from its reShed
crabcakes International League baseball team and
gnawng envy of our town. That's changed now. we
won't even have tripe-A team if the Senators leave.
Worse yet a couple of Tv executives say Washington
baseball fans will have to survive on diet OF Oriole games
If they want any games at all The Orioles can DOCK
TVS Game of the Week" here if they desire and they'd
probably do it..
= GREATLY NEEDED is smart, experienced man to
run our proposed stadium. We need man VINO can
bring in attractions, not chase them out of town We
need man with vision, who knows how to get things
done who can keep stadium busy and turnSes clicking
The impending departure Of the Senators leaves a
gaping void the Washington sports scene and wnat Is
the Armory board doing about the stadium? It's imagining
with the Redskins difference OF 21a per cent IN
rental fees We'd better hang on to what we've got and
not rely wholly the cherry blossoms to bring some
visitors here each year.
Get the Redskins on the dotted line first, and go on
from there seems to be the ticket George Marshall thinks
10 per cent enough to pay The board thinks Snoo
be 1917 per cent But Marshall doesn't want the profitable
concession stands He isn't asking for cut OF the
fees He only wants place for the Redskins 10 pay az
10 per cent the board believes this is unreasonable
should look around, make inquiries in other Clues. IL
might give the members fresh approach to the situation
SPEAKING OF THE REDSKINS, the next couple OF
weeks should be among the most interesting IN recent
