! have every respect for the
members of the board. whose
every action while I was a
member was unanimous.
Dorsey also has been at
torney for the Griffith interests.
Asked If he would continue in
that capacity. he said, ain my
letter of resignation I told CAL
win to feel free to call on me
anytime he might want my ad-
vice or counsel"
Dorsey also revealed that in
his letter he told Griffith, las
matters now stand in WASH
ington, I cannot see how you
can get satisfactory return on
the investment"
Not Just Exploring"
The attorney refuted the
testimony of Griffith before a
Senate subcommittee that the
team had been exploring" the
possibility of moving.
Il have the motion before
me, Dorsey said. 1T reads,
Mr.. Dorsey moved that the
president be authorized at the
forthcoming American League
meeting to be held in Balti-
more on July 7 to request APP
prevail for the transfer for the
Washington franchise to either
Minneapolis, Dallas, Fort
Worth. Houston or Montreal, if
the club should decide to make
such a move"
Dorsey said, Mr.. Knot
q member of the Griffith family
seconded the motion and it
was unanimously adopted"
why should they call it bad
timing?" Dorsey asked. Last
year when baseball hearings
were before the House subcom-
mittee Walter O'Malley and
Horace Stoneham asked per-
mission Of the National League
TO do the same thing-transfer
the Brooklyn Dodgers and the
New York Giants to the West
Coast. They are regarded as
big brains in baseball"
FavOrs Pooling Telecasts
Dorsey said his feeling about
a new stadium for the Senators
is "a new stadium would get
new fans" He added that he
believed that the Senators and
Baltimore Orioles should pool
their broadcasts and telecasts of
games, with the sponsor taking
the more interesting team of
the moment, rather than have
the clubs compete with each
other in those fields.
Asked if he felt the Senators
should have a general manager,
Dorsey said. Il do not take
back anything I have hereto
fore said" He recommended in
January that the team hire a
general manager.
Let me say. though" De-
Orsey concluded, that as an
administrator Calvin has done
more in the past two years than
had been done previously. He
now knows exactly where he
stands financially"

DELAWARE
NOTES
BY JOSEPH b. KELLY
Star Racing Editor


STANTON. Del. July 21.-
The Delaware Handicap.
worlds richest race for FLIES
and mares. which will be run
Saturday, appears to be a wide
open scramble for the $150,000-
plus purse after Alanesian's
easy triumph in Saturdays
New Castle Stakes.
Prior to the mile-an-a-Six-
tenth New Castle, Fucker Up
and Bornastar, the two Chicago
invaders. we're looked on as the
mares with the best chance of
taking the big money of this
meeting. which closes Saturday.
However, both turned in
extremely poor performances
under l26 pounds. J. Graham
Browns Bornastar. who was
close up early in the New Cas-
tie. refused to run in the late
stages and wound up eighth at
1910. Mrs. Ada L. Rice's Puck
er Up indicated she is far of
the form that enabled her to
lead all the way in last years
Delaware only to be caught at
the end and drop a half length
decision to Princess Turia.
Fucker Up stopped to a walk
Saturday and beat only one
filly in the l5-horSe field.
]. Gilbert Haus, Delaware
Parks racing secretary, is
weighing 12l FLIES and mares
eligible for the Delaware
Handicap and his ratings are
expected this afternoon.
Alanesian, owned by william
Haggin Perry of Middleburg,
Va, plans to send his fleet
4-year-old by Polynesian out
again in the Delaware Handi-
cap in an effort to duplicate
last years feat of Calument's
Princess Turia. who won both
events. The Virginia owned
miss led all the way in the New
Castle under liz pounds.
There is a chance that one
or two 3-year-olds will take a
shot at older fillies and mares
in the Delaware, particularly
Brookmeade Stables Big Eff
fort, who won the Delaware
Oaks but passed up the New
Castle.
In view of Bornastar's per-
Torrance in the New Castle. a
field OF Is or more is expected.
Last season, a record 10 went
TO the post and the race crossed
Si64,625 to make 1t the third
richest race in America in 1857.
Television views of the ITO
day" show will get a glimpse
Of preparations for the Della
ware Handicap direct from the
packstretch. TV cameras will
pick up workouts and inter-
views from a spot near the mile
and-a-quarter chute.
The first backStretch view of
Delaware Park will be screened
at 7:l5 am. Spots also are
scheduled at 8:l5 and 9:15.
Jockey Eldon Nelson moves
into the final week of his
greatest meeting since he
started race riding with the
riders championship insured.
He picked up his SD victory
Saturday and leads Johnny
Johnny Choquette So to 80
When this meeting ends. Mel
son will head for Saratoga
where a 24-day session opens

Everywhere about signs that the Negro is
having doors opened to him just as they are to
anyone else - in law, medicine, teaching the
crafts, executive positions, and in general,
throughout society.
That progress is being made and more rapidly
than before, is a tribute of course to the Negro
people, who have had to work against almost dis
heartening odds, But more significantly, the
entire community take hope that surely, if
slowly, the perverted thought habits of sub
stantial number of us are yielding to an awakened
conscience and cleaner outlook
Unfortunately, there is much yet to be done. Let
us hope that before many more years have passed
Negro achievements will no longer be news but that
all of us will be recognized for what we are and
do, and only on that basis

The Territorial Bill was signed
by President James X. Polk-one
of his last official acts before
leaving office.
Territorial rights had been hard
to get-from historic records OF
the U. S House and Senate, the
matter was a political football
slavery issue had some effect as
the southern delegations did not
want additional representation
from the north which might favor
abolition or non-extension OF hu-
man slavery,
