Wonder if Ford Frick’s effort to
get the Phils back on their feet
will be as successful as his first big
job as National League president
. . . Back in 1935, if you remember,
Frick stepped into John Heydler’s
shoes just in time to deal with a
similar situation at Boston ... He
(or the National League) wasn’t
so gentle that time as yesterday’s
dealings with Gerry Nugent . . .
Gerry, at least, got some money
out of it, but all Judge Emi! Fuchs
got when they took the Braves
away front him was the bounce...
But the Braves kept solvent anil
then moved out of last place, which
was all the league required ... All
w<- can say for the Phils' buyers is
that they must have as much cour
age as money—and our understand,
ing is that they had to show a good
bankroll for expenses besides the
price of the club’s stock.
