'HiII' Community
Council to Keep
Names Secret

The Capitol Hill Community
Council last night voted to keep
its members names confidential
so they would not be subject
to unsolicited mail.
The council also voted to keep
a list of council approved build
ing, plumbing and electrical
contractors handy for member
reference.
The council decided to reveal
the names Of its members only
in an emergency, such as on
request of a congressional COM
mittee. and to release the names
then only on a three-fifths vote
Of the executive committee. This
was done mainly to free men,
bers from being placed on I'M
wanted mailing lists.
Otherwise, only by approval
Of the general membership
could the names be released to
an organization.
On the other matter, the
council at first considered ap-
proved names in its newsletter.
However, it was decided that
this would be unfair to contrac-
tors who had not come to the
attention Of the council. There
fore, the list is to be made avail
able to council members only on
their request.
The meeting was held at
Friendship House, 6l9 D street

For Quesodo q Season of Surprises
By BILL FUCHS

THE GENERALS ENTRY into the base
ball picture here was surprise to many,
but the truth is the veteran aviator had
been trying to move in for some time.
In 1949 when John j. Jachym pur-
chased 40 per cent of the old Senators
since taken over by Gabe Murphy-he just
did beat Quesada to the deal. And I was
considering buying the Athletics last year
when Charles Finley bought them.
MY interest was well known to Joe
Cronin and few others and when Calvin
Griffith all of sudden said he was going
to move to Minneapolis got phone call"
Quesada was not just front man for the
new owners a man chosen to be president
because of his proven executive abilities.
When went to New York to put in my
bid, was alone" he said. Il hadn't even
discussed the deal with my current
partners"
His partners are satisfied with the job
done to date, but there is a noticeable lack
of harmony in the Quesada household at
"a Kalorama circle NV. There is where
the club presidents chief critics reside
Ricci 49, and Peter, 9. Mrs. @ stays in
the background, wisely leaving baseball
matters to the three men in the family.
Peter really gave me hell when we
traded Dick Donovan" Quesada said. He
got furious But Ricci was glad to get
Jim Piersall. The net result is that the kids
fight all the time about it and so don't
catch hell from Peter any more"
1T WAS MENTIONED ones destiny
often turns on chance moment. That's
right" Quesada said. For me it was a guy
hanging on rowboat."
This was back in 1924 at the Tidal Basin
Bathing Beach, long since removed from
the Washington scene. "It was quite a
beach," QueSada said. "It had sand and
everything and there would be as many
as 10000 to 10000 people there at time I
was going to Maryland and, like Lot of the
football players here, I got summer job
as lifeguard at the beach.
$50 I'm out rowing in my official boat
and this guy starts hanging on it and
told him to get off and we got to talking.
He turned out to be Tiny Harmon, who used
to play football at West Virginia. Now he
was lieutenant in the Army and he was
interested in recruiting football players for
the Flying Cadet Training School at Brooks
Field, Tex.
"He asked me If would like to 60 and
wanted to know why, and he said to
learn to fly. I thought that would be
great. So went. His idea was to get a
team down there with a bunch of stars
and to go out and beat the good college
teams.
There was one trouble We couldn't
beat anybody. Everybody was afraid of
getting hurt playing football We didn't
want to hurt our chances of flying"

Southern Conference cham
pionship bout against William
g. Mary (0-3). Maryland, a
two-time loser at the start of

the week end off to regroup.
Tonight's card is a light one
highlighted by Navy's trip to
Madison Square Garden to play
Manhattan, which opened with
breezy victories over Dartmouth
and Fairleigh-Dickinson.
The Jaspers were 8-11 last
year and have four of five

for a banner season are
dimmed by the lack of height.
They won't be any taller than
Navy, which usually spots ev-

interesting than it looks at first

erall last season, won the title
in the Tri-State League with a
80 slate, and already has
posted two victories this sea-
son. One was a 10-pointer
over st. Peters, which usually
enjoys a solid small college
reputation.
In addition to Navy, the only
other area team in action to-
night will be Catholic u, a
30-point victor over Howard in

gin a two-game road swing

GEN. PETE QUESADA HAS completed
his freshman year as president Of the
Senators and it's been quite an education.
The former head of the Federal Avia-
ton Agency is currently a director of D. C.
Transit and a member of the boards OF
directors of American Airlines and highly
specialized electronic research firm. He
was quite unprepared for the way baseball
people conduct business.
II was surprised at the lack of good
business practice within the whole family
of baseball" Quesada said over breakfast
at the University Club. 1T seems all the
people associated with it assume that own
ership of all clubs was made up of group
of ,millionaires whose treasury is bottom
less pit. There are so many expenditures
in baseball as whole that make no
economic sense.
What most people don't understand
about baseball, and this includes baseball
people themselves, is that it is small
business" the general continued between
sips from his cup of tea. Total volume
of sales for our club, including advertising
concessions, gate receipts, and radiotele
vision rights, came to approximately 50
million. But we get more attention than
General Motors, which one year as recall
had profit AFTER TAXES of SO billion"
THE EXTENT OF WORK involved in
presiding over a ball club also surprised
Quesada, he said. II have discovered that

The general may like it, but not well

money forever. And who wants to? I
don't You keep losing money in some
thing and you get to feel like chump."
This is not to imply that Quesada or
any of his Observation-Disclosures is even close
to the linen closet. Nobody contemplates
throwing in the towel The general makes
it clear that the master plan of the Senators
calls for steady improvement based on

one of the risks of the business.
"our future rests on fellows like zipfel
