Hard-Luck Gillette Lucky to Be With Tribe
Shotgun Blast in Hip, Fall From Second Story Window Don't Stop Him
By Lewis F. Atchison
Star Staff Correspondent
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 20.—Off
hand, we don’t know whether
you would consider Jim Gillette
lucky or not. Getting blasted by
a shotgun at 8 feet and toppling
out of a second-story window in
your sleep couldn’t exactly be
considered lucky, but then a fel
low would have to have some
good fortune to still be alive,
much less running around and
playing football, after such
mishaps.
Jim thinks it’s luck, although
unwavering faith in his father
pulled him through the first
accident and a flower bed pro
vided a Cushion for the fall. The
best break he got, however, was
getting with the Redskins. He
tried to swing a deal for himself
a couple of years ago—the cor
respondence is in the Redskin
file—but the Rams wouldn’t let
him go. He finally made it this
year, after detouring by way of
Boston.
"I wanted to make the change
because I thought I’d like play
ing the T formation better than
single wing. AS a halfback my
job was hitting the tackle when
I wasn’t carrying the ball and I
Wasn’t rugged enough for these
pro tackles. The Rams didn't
have the T at the time, if you
remember, and I felt sure it not
only would be easier for me, but
a whole lot safer. It is, too.”
Jim almost became a Wash
ington baseball player instead of
football star. Clark Griffith gave
him a contract after his gradua
tion from Virginia and sent him
to Orlando, Fla., for seasoning,
but before Jim left Bucky Harris,
then manager of the Nats, pre
dicted he wouldn’t have enough
patience to come up to the
majors.
"Bucky sized me up right
good,” Jim admits. “I guess if
I liked baseball as well as foot
ball, if I had been willing to
work as hard as I do at this
game, I might have made the
grade. But I got restless and
had to leave.”
The restlessness cost him a
$1,500 bonus he would have re
ceived for finishing out the sea
son.
Gillette created quite a stir
in football at Virginia and one
game in particular still is vivid
in his mind—the 1939 game with
Navy. It was third quarter and
Navy was ahead, 19-13, Jim hav
ing scored all of the Cavaliers’
points. At that point he inter
cepted a Navy pass on the 6
yard line and dashesd 77 yards
before looking a*ound and try
ing to stiff-arm a tackier. That
was a mistake, because the
Middy grabbed Jims’ arm and
pulled him down. Navy stood off
the threat, and in the final pe
riod poured it on the tired, out
numbered Virginians to win by
a 40-13 count.
Gillette took a 60-yard pass
from Harry Dinwiddle for the
first TD that day, and for the
second latched on to a 40-yard
throw by Bus Male, presently
coach at Episcopal High School
in Alexandria.
The Tribe halfback was a good
baseball player at Virginia, and
although a left-handed first
baseman who batted from the
right side of the plate, he one
year compiled a healthy .405
average. He hit .326 for Frank
lin in the Virgina-Carolina
League this summer before leav
ing to join the Skins.
Green Bay drafted Gillette for
the 1940 season, but he didn’t
Ambassador Natators
Beaten in Baltimore
Special Dispatch to The Star
BALTIMORE, Aug. 20.—For the
sixth straight year, Lakewood Swim
ming Club holds the Evening Sun
meet championship. It took the
title by staging a late rally as the
25th annual meet wound up last
night after having been cut short
by heavy rain last Saturday night
Lakewood turned in a 150-point
total, while Ambassador of Wash
ington was second with 113. When
the meet was halted on Saturday.
Ambassador was leading, 74-54. The
victors did most of their heavy
scoring in the relay events last night
Three meet records were broken
last night to add to the five cracked
on Saturday. Leola Thomas ol
Ambassador made the biggest dent,
taking the 100-yard breaststroke in
1:13.5 and clipping nearly 8 seconds
off the bid mark. Another good
win was scored by Ambassador's
Jan Vandersluis as he took the 880
freestyle in 9:53.6.
make much impression on Curley
Lambeau.
“In fact I made the mistake
of telling Curley I though I was
too green to play in the National
League,’’ Jim says. “You know,
if a rookie doesn’t look and act
confident in training camp he
won't make the squad. I looked
at Arne Herber, Cecil Isbell,
Clark Hinkle and those boys and
asked myself how I expected to
beat them out of a job. I didn’t
have enough confidence.’’
Curley gave Jim a ticket to
Kenosha, Wis., along with John
ny Blood, who went to that
American Association team as
coach, and the aging Beatty
Feathers. He played five games
with Kenosha before the Rams,
then in Cleveland, bought his
contract. Jim heard they got
him for $100.
it was a uau uaigaiu last yrai,
I for Gillette, sparking a resurgent
| Boston Yankee eleven, had a field
J day against his old teammates.
| He held Jim Benton, the league's
j leading pass receiver, scoreless,
picked up 77 yards from scrim
mage on seven attempts, scamp
ered 47 yards for one touchdown
and took a 60-yard pass from
Paul Governali for another as
the Rams won 40-21.
Jim thinks Governali is a fine
passer and that Bob Waterfield
is good, too, but he calls Sammy
Baugh the best.
"Waterfield needs lots of pro
tection,” he said, "but Baugh
seems able to get ’em off from
any angle. If I’d known how

Forte Has New Car
For Lanham Races -
Jimmy Forte, veteran Ford V-8
drivers whose car was smashed in
the crackup at West Lanham Speed
way last Friday night, returns this
Friday for the midget auto races in
a new Offenhauser. Forte was able
to crawl from the wreckage shaken
but otherwise unhurt, and is not
letting the mishap keep him from
racing.
Forte is replacing Johnny Ringer
in the Offenhauser. Other Offy
drivers due here Friday are Dutch
Schaefer, George Fonder and Mike
Joseph. There also will be plenty
of Ford drivers on hand—Larry
Bloomer, Charley Breslin, Johnny
Favinger, Ernie McCoy and Walt
Fair.
Bloomer is returning after a two
week absence. He’s been active on
other tracks during that time, win
ning one 25-lap feature at Phila
delphia’s Yellow Jacket Speedway
and finishing second to Schaefer
tfiere in another feature race.
Dates Sought for Trotting
Track Near Ocean City
By the Associated Press
BALTIMORE, Aug. 20.—In an
! amended application for a license a
group of Eastern Shore promoters
today asked the Maryland Racing
Commission for authority to con
duct 20 nights of harness racing
next summer at a new $440,950 track
near Ocean City.
The application was by the Ocean
Downs Racing Association. Inc., a
group formerly known as the East
ern Shore Trotting Association. In
formation filed with the racing com
mission' indicated Ocean Downs
would be located a quarter of a
mile off the main highway, between
Salisbury and Ocean City, and its
equipment would include a $150,000
steel and concrete grandstand.

! on defense. He throws an easy
ball to catch, although he throws
it quickly.”
Jim's brother, Turnbull, whose
1 shotgun went off on a squirrel
hunting foray when he stumbled,
planting a load of chilled shot in
Jim’s hip, later turned out to be
a pretty good passer himself. At
* Virginia in 1942 he completed 23
out of 28 passes against Wash
ington and Lee and at the end of
the season was the Nation's third
best passer on percentage points.
Gillette’s second-story fall
came while he was in the Navy
and on shore duty. He’d been
a junior lieutenant in charge of
the armed guard on a merchant
vessel and had been torpedoed
a couple of times and his nerves,
as you might guess, were rather
jumpy. So when he dreamed a
blood-thirsty gent with a knife
in his hand was stealing up on
him James went right out the
window. Lucky he wasn’t killed,
but he thinks he has a charmed
life.
He credits his dad with saving
his life after the shotgun attack.
The elder Gillette, himself an out
standing athlete at Randolph
Macon and Virginia years ago,
calmly told Jim he’d be all right
and not to worry.
‘‘I didn’t,” Jim said, ‘‘although
I found out later I nearly bled
to death.”
Coach Turk Edwards looks for
Gillette to have a big season with
the Tribe and Jim sort of con
curs that it might be a good year
for him. Both hope he starts off
with another two-touchdown per
formance against the Rams here
September 6.
Giants Top Grays, 3-1;
Meet Again Tomorrow
The Homestead Grays will be in- 1
volved in a three-team double
header tomorrow evening at Grif
fith Stadium. Starting at 6:30 p.m.,
they meet the Baltimore Elite
Giants in a Negro National League
game, and then take on the Chicago
American Giants in an exhibition.
The Giants topped the Grays, 3-1,
last night in Baltimore and dropped
them to fifth place in the league.
They can go no lower, as the New
York Black Yanks have a lock on
the cellar in this six-team loop.
Frank Thompson is slated to pitch
for the Grays against Baltimore.
He has a record of five straight
wins at Griffith Stadium and the
Grays are counting on him to pull
them out of the hole.
Bill Byrd, Giants pitcher, ran his
record to 11 wins against four losses
last night at Baltimore by limiting
the Grays to four hits.

In City Sandlot Race;
Firemen Victors
The FBI baseball team makes

Boys’ Club, the Fire Department,
which handed Co6tell Post a fare

The winner of today’s game takes

The Brewers, who have won

both the G-Men and Firemen as

while their opponent will need two

Ingram took over in the sixth, when
Boggs developed a sore arm and
gave up four hits and a run.
A couple of Costello errors proved
costly. Dick Farr singled in the
third Inning and made his way
homeward on a fielder’s choice, a
passed ball and an error. Three
singles and another error sewed
up the game for the Firemen in
the seventh.

record of 1:49'/5 for the mile and
an eighth. The Brolite colt toted
117 pounds in the Fourth of July
classic, but today will carry 126 in
an attempt to prove conclusively
his stamina. The race also may
determine whether Armed is iikely

By tha Associated Press
CHICAGO, Aug. 20.—Represent

meet separately with Commissioners
Bert Bell of the National Football I
League and Jonas Ingram of the
All-America Conference, to “clearI
the fog” on professional football's;

“Both the collegiate and profes

I thought this would be as good a
time as any to get a few things
down on black and white about the
professional-college football picture,”
explained Wilson.
Last week at his Philadelphia

propose a three-point program to
the NCAA to effect “perfect harmony
between colleges and1 pro football.”
Bell’s main suggestion will be that
no player with college eligibility can

Mrs. Darby Captures Post Cup
As Columbia Stays Hot in Golf
By Merrell Whittlesey
For the third time in the last
three weeks, Columbia Country Club
has produced a first-tijne cup win
ner in a Women's District Golf
Association event.
The women’s trophy case at the
Connecticut avenue club had a
rather deserted appearance before
Mrs. William S. Abell won the class
A Star Cup, then Mrs. E. S. Hart
shorn followed with the class B
Star Trophy.
The latest addition was the class
A Post Cup, a contribution by Mrs.
John J. Darby who scored a 92 at
Prince Georges, yesterday and de
ducted a maximum class A handicap
of 18 for a winning net 74.
The triumph over a field of 86
took Mrs. Darby by complete sur
prise. The mother of five children:
between the ages of 5 and 23, Mrs. j
Darby said she had been playing
golf off and on for a good many!
years but hever had won one of the
WDGA tournaments. 'T play just
for fun,” she said.
__j t !
were playing together and having a
lot of fun at a nickel a hole,” Mrs.
Darby said, "when all of a sudden
Mrs. Gross started coaching me. I
didn’t know what was going on un
til I came in with a pretty good
score for me and learned I had won
the cup.”
Barely Misses Hole-in-One.
Mrs. Darby, who scored 45—47
for the nines, started with a pair of1
par fours and featured her round:
with a birdie 2 on the 14th where
she almost made a hole in one.
In a three-way scrap for low gross
honors, Mrs. Betty Meckley of Ken-:
wood posted an 82 to win by one
stroke over the host club titlist, Mrs.
Marie Walper, who played the last
three holes in one under men's par j
for an 83. Mrs. Richard Kreuzburg.l
the Kenwood Club champion, had
84. Only eight players broke 90.
Mrs. Darby nosed out the WDGA
Class B tournament chairman, Mrs.
Roderick Watson of Manor, who
also had her best score, a 43-44—87,
fourth best of the day, and de
ducted a 12 handicap for second net
of 75. One of the most enthusiastic
members of the association, It was
the first prize for Mrs. Watson, who
has cut her handicap in half in one
year.
