He Had His Phil Most pointed wise-crack on the Phils' sale was Tim (World Telly) Cohane's suggestion that, by relin quishing his majority stock in the club, Gerry Nugent automatically qualified for the 1943 Writers' plaque for meritorous service to the game.

COLONEL WYNN MAY RUN DERBY AT HUGE LOSS CHICAGO, Feb. 11 (flVCol. Matt Winn, guiding genius behind the Kentucky Derby for the last forty-one years, figures that staging the Derby at Louisville, May 1 may result in a $100,000 loss.

But that doesn't bother Winn. His burning desire is to keep it's record string of sixty-nine unbroken. Started In 1875 The Derby, America's premier race for three-year-olds, has been run without interruption since 1875. Winn has seen all of them. He witnessed the first from the back seat of his father's wagon parked in the infield of Churchill Downs, home of the Derby at Louisville.

"We have no hope of showing a profit this year," Col. Winn said today. "But that win be' all right. We've had a couple of good years before and can take a loss without crying. "The Derby will be run as sched uled even if only two spectators snow up." REAL ESTATE Sales Rentals MRS.

If and when the Phillies get a new owner and with all the fancy fumbling Just now It looks more like "if" than "when" virtually all National league clubs have prom ised to pitch in and help the loop's bottom outfit with playing material for 1943. It was learned today that, in making the promise at the Tuesday meeting at which the league bought the Phils for resale, all but one of the dub-owners agreed to lend a hand, even if the league is "stuck" with the Phils all season, in which case Bill Terry will be named to run the outfit. Although there were enough, bids coming in to fill a bridge tourna ment, the six-man New York-Philadelphia syndicate originally men tioned still was out in front.

Corporal Charles Brande, and has for a heading the words, "The Long and Short" Beneath the illustration is the warding: "Lieutenant Jack (Stretch) Manch, six feet seven inches tall, one of the tallest men in all of the U. S. Army Air Forces, towers above Corporal Charles Brande at an air base in India.

The little corporal stands a fraction of an inch over five feet, and doesn't expect to grow any more, as he is approaching his thirty-eighth birthday. Manch is still a growing boy." This is the first copy of the paper received by Captain Manch and his wife, and it is typically American in content and format. News, pictures, sports, and illustrations comprise the twelve-page issue. A picture of Ann Sheridan adorns the front page with the note that she is appearing in a picture the name of which is un important."
