Baugh May Play in Redskin-Packer Game in Baltimore Today
Dry Field Likely,
Tribe Underdog
In Benefit Tilt
Washington Eleven
To Unveil Sommers,
245-Pound Center
By Lewis F. Atchison
Home again after a trying cross
country jaunt, the Redskins will
have one last chance at a .500 aver
age for their four pre-season games
today at Baltimore, where they take
on the ponderous Green Bay
Packers at 2:30 p.m.
Sponsored by the Variety Clubs
of Baltimore and Washington, fea
turing the colorful Redskin band
and a wealth of entertainment be
tween halves, the game is expected
to lure a swarm of the faithful
from Washington anxious for their
first peek at the 1947 eleven prior
to the league opening next Sunday
Variety officials are confident the
net proceeds will add up to a hand
some donation for the boys clubs
of the two cities.
The Weather Bureau predicts
some sunshine in the afternoon with
the mercury hovering in the 70’s,
but no rain. A dry field figures to
help the Tribe against the beefy in*
vaders.
Sommers in Redskin Debut.
The Redskins expect to show off
their latest acquisition, 245-pound
Jack Sommers, a center obtained
from the Los Angeles Rams, and
he should be useful in the middle of
the line. The latest pro fad of
loading the line with five tackles,
planting four fast, husky fullbacks
behind, and leaving the safety zone
to a couple of fleet halfbacks has
played havoc with the Redskin
offense, but Sommers may help put
a stop to it.
Sommers caught Coach Turk Ed
wards’ eye in the Rams’ Intrasquad
scrimmage at Los Angeles last
month when he did the kicking off
and handled the pivot work in ex
cellent style. His 28 years were con
sidered too many by the Rams, who
had younger centers in Fred Nau
metz, 25, Roger Harding, 24 and
Jack Martin, 25. Edwards says Som
mers can be 98 as long as he knocks
down rival linemen.
Sommers is the second player to
come to Washington from the Rams.
The first, Fullback Vince Pacewic.
was sent to Los Angeles on an “if"
deal and reverted to Washington af
ter spending the training season
with the Rams. Pacewic has seen
much service during pre-season
games and will be in evidence today.
oau*H 1U»V OCC Action.
If Sammy Baugh continues to im
prove and shows as much life in
pre-game practice today that he
showed yesterday, he may play part
of the game, Edwards said. How
ever, Baugh will not be at his best
and with Bill Ward, Ernie William
son and Tom Farmer riding the
bench because of injuries the Red
skins will be underdogs.
Jimmy Youel and Tom Mont need
the work they are getting and even
if the Skins lose they stand to profit
by the experience their field gen
erals will get. Youel's passing has
improved sharply since he learned
how to cool out his arm properly af
ter the passing warm-up. Mont has
been somewhat* excitable in his first
appearances against major league
competition, but the former Mary
land star has offset this by his
smooth ballhandling on running
plays. The youngster is getting to
be a magician palming off the
leather and should be a lot of help
to the club.
Hie customers from Washington
also will be straining their necks for
a gander at big Ed Cifers in his new
tackle role, watching for “Bones”
Taylor and Joe Tereshinski at end,
whooping it up for Ki Aldrich in his
comeback at center. There is
plenty to look for, with more than
20 rookies on the roster and Ed
wards hopes the customers like what
they see.
Ex-Redskins Now With Packer*
On the other side of the line the
Redskins will see a couple of former
teammates in Jack Jacobs, who is
doing most of the passing for Curley
Lambeau’s eleven, and Johnny Ko
vatch, an end traded to Green Bay
only last Thursday. Tiny Croft, a
MO-pounder, also started his pro
career in the Tribe’s training camp
but never played a league game for
Washiijgton.
Ted Fritsch will be there, too. and
the Redskins still remember him
from last year when his powerful
runs wrecked them at Griffith Sta
dium. But the little guy who helped.
Bob Nussbaumer, is on Washington’s
side now, and is doing very well,

night in a private plane and arrived at Forest Hills, L. I., a mere half
an hour before Jack Kramer and Frankie Parker met to determine
the National Tennis championship,
This is hardly seasonal, but here’s a future-reference tip to1
motorists from Cliff Bergere, the famed auto racing driver who
dropped by the other day: “When you are trying to put your car in
motion on an icy street, or in sand, and one rear wjieel spins more
than the other, pull your hand brake half-way back, before applying
power and your chances of getting even, nonskid traction are far
better’’ . . . Buddy Lewis again will head an All-Star collection of
major leaguers and barnstorm in the Carolinas next month.
Time Has Robinson on Verge of Quitting
Time’s piece on Jackie Robinson reveals that Brooklyn's star
rookie was on thfc verge of quitting the Kansas City Monarchs, barn
storming Negro club, at the time Branch Rickey lured him away and
signed him to a contract in organized baseball . . . The grubby life,
says Time, “was a shock to college-bred Jackie,” for the Monarchs
traveled in an old bus, often for two or three days at a time, without
a bath, a bed or a hot meal . . . Have you ever wondered why your
automobile tires build up air pressure on the road, whereas this is
no problem at all to race drivers who whiz around the Indianapolis
Speedway for 500 miles on a steaming hot Memorial Day? ... The
answer is that racing car tires are filled with nitrogen instead of air—
and the pressure built up by nitrogen is negligible.
Our local sportscascers are in big demand these days . . . Bob
Wolff of WINX was engaged to do the sound track for the Davis Cup
movies for Australia and Bill Brundige of WOL, who did a swell job
covering the National Tennis championships until Harry Wismer
arrived, will work the Detroit football Lions, starting today when the
Lions play at Pittsburgh in the National League's first title game.
Wolff, incidentally, discloses that Australia’s beaten Davis Cup
team had no gripe when Ted Schroeder, who played earlier in bare
feet, shifted to spiked shoes in the late stages . . . The Americans and
Australians, Wolff says, had an agreement to the effect that any
player could shift to spiked shoes as soon as the sun disappeared
over the stadium at Forest Hills, which is when the grass courts get
slippery . . . The tennis press was delinquent in getting the facts
because in some stories the reader got the impression the Aussies
might have been victims of a tricky deal.
Laurel's New Starter Is Blind
Jim Milton, the veteran starter whose name has been synonymous
with Maryland racing for years, will be replaced at Laurel (“Wash
ington’s own track") by Eddie Blind, who can’t possibly live up to his
name in that he’s a veteran of 20 years' experience as starter and
assistant . . . Drive carefully when you start out on these weekly
Junkets to football games to Annapolis, Baltimore, etc., and remem
ber this: When you are driving at 60 miles an hour (and If your
reaction is normal) it takes 367 feet to come to a full stop . . . You
go 66 feet during the three-quarters of a second it requires to shift your
foot from the accelerator to the brake and 301 more feet to stop—
provided your brakes and tires are in A-l condition . . . It’s better
to miss a kick-off than to kick the bucket—it's better still to start
half an hour earlier.

Nats, Red Sox Split;
Coan Gets 5 lor 5
In Opening Game
By Burton Hawkins
Star Staff Correspondent
B08T0N, Sept. 20.—Washington’s
allergy to Fenway Park, where it
had absorbed eight successive de
feats, vanished in a rash of five
straight hits by Gil Coan here today
in the first game of a double header.
Coan’s clouting lifted the Nats'
Early Wynn to his 17th victory,
6- 3, before Boston won the nightcap,
7- 2.
The Nats' only triumph of the year
here was a smashing success for the
trim Coan, youthful outfielder re
cently imported from Chattanooga.
His perfect plate performance in the
opener consisted of three singles, a
double and a triple as he scored two
runs and drove across two others.
Coan added another single in five
attempts in the second game and
in four games since joining the
Nats has collected 11 hits in 17
times at bat for a fancy .647 average.
Gatehouse Beats Nats.
Denny Galehouse beat the Nats
for the fourth time this season in
the second game, allowing nine
hits as the Red Sox battered Rookie
Hal Toenes and Milo Candini for
14 hits, including two triples and a
single by Ted Wiliams, who also
walked twice and thumped across
t Vt raa rime
The Nats quickly disposed of Earl
Johnson, Boston starter in the
opener. Eddie Yost greeted him with
a single and went out stealing, but
Eddie Lyons, Coan, Tom McBride
and A1 Evans also singled to spray
three runs across before Harry Dor
ish was rushed to the mound.
For the next seven innings the
Nats’ attack consisted exclusively
of Coan, who beat out a bunt and
doubled and singled for the only
hits off Dorish.
Meanwhile, the Red Sox were giv
ing Wynn a tussle. They picked
up a run ln‘ the first inning on
singles by Johnny Pesky and Dom
DiMaggio, a wild pitch and Wil
liams’ grounder which scored Pesky.
Nats’ Margin Sliced.
Boston sliced Washington's ad
vantage to 3-2 in the fourth. Wil
liams forced Di Maggio, who had
singled, but successive singles by
Bobby Doerr and Sam Mele brought
Williams around before Murrell
Jones drilled into a double play.
That situation existed until the
ninth when the Nats fashioned
three runs off Dave Ferris after
two were out. Earl Wooten grounded
out and Wynn singled to center,
but was forced by Cecil Travis.
Buddy Lewis batted for Lyons and
walked and Coan’s lusty triple over
Mele's head in right field scored
hnth mnnpr* ftnpnr.p’jt sin trip
to center scored Coan.
The Red Sox scored their final
run in the ninth when Pesky beat
out a bunt, shifted to second when
Williams tried the same strategy
and was tossed out by Wynn, and
Doerr singled.
Wynn permitted eight hits, while
Coan was the only Nat to get mori
than one of Washington's 11 hits,
Toenes Welcomed Warmly.
Toenes, another Chattanooga
product, was welcomed warmly in
the first inning of the second game
when Pesky's double and Williams’
triple gave Boston a run. The Nats
clipped Galehouse for two runs in
the third on singles by Johnny
Sullivan, Jerry Priddy, Coan and
Mickey Vernon, but the lead
evaporated in the Red Sox third
on a walk to Pesky, Di Maggio’s

Foster moved the red-white-and

Dossin brothers of Detroit, into first

on the first lap and remained out

Lombardo, with owner-mechanic
Albin Fallon of Detroit riding be
side him, tried every means to
overtake the curly-haired former
Army Air Forces flyer..
The drama in the race was par
ticularly sharp for those fans who
recalled that a year ago Foster
drove Miss Great Lakes to a vic
tory over Lombardo who then was
racing his Tempo VI.
On the start of the fifth lan. it.
looked as though Lombardo was go
ing to overtake Foster, but at the
upper turn the California man
widened his lead. On the back
stretch Foster gave his racer every
thing it could take, and widened
the gap.
Lombardo Trails 75 Yards.
Lombardo made his last try on
the final lap, but It was no good.
Foster got the checkered flag from
the committee on the Coast Guard
cutter Aurora, with Lombardo about
75 yards back. At that there were
only two seconds between them.
The crowd set up a roar as the
two leaders sped across the finish
line. A quarter of a mile back was
Notre Dame.
Foster’s 'average speed for the
15 miler was 70.2 miles an hour.
This fell short of the record he
set last year when he was .clocked at
71.181 miles in the third heat.
From the Gold Cup boats down to
little outboards, which opened the
16th running of the regatta before
noon, it was rough, tough going.
The wind was more suited for sail

chop at times.
More than 100 flag-bedecked
pleasure craft were anchored off the

Harvard will be making its firs;

show was stolen by a trio of women

Bethesda Woman Wins.
The event was won by Mrs. Mary
McFadden of Bethesda, a former
WASP, who was driving in her
first race. She had beep in the boat,
Tommy Keane’s Tee Tee of Wash

in front on the second and final
lap and won by a comfortable
margin.
But the show was not over yet.

Mrs. Frances Cook in Maggie IV

up, Albert D’Eath, driving his Psst,

(they had been used earlier by the
outboards). He discovered his mis

Several other 135 drivers who
made the same error failed to rec

fourth place in Tee Tee. This boat
had difficulty getting up speed be
cause of engine heating difficulties,
but Keane has located the trouble
and will be out today.'
The big 225-hydroplanes also put
on a good show. Ten of them came

won by E. D. Weeks’ Voodoo of Des

for the second race.
Weeks said afterwards he planned
to make repairs and try for a new

this afternoon. While no official
report was made, it appears that
only one 225 will qualify for the top

HERSHEY, Pa., Sept. 20.—Penn
i State's football team, with a raft of
speedy backs operating behind a big,
well-drilled line, smothered Wash
ington §tate, 27 to 6, tonight. A
crowd of about 14.000 braved a
drizzle to see the first big inter
sectional game of the season. Larry
Joe, Wallace Triplett and Joe
Colone were outstanding among
Penn State’s numerous ball carriers.
Coach Bob Higgins sent a formid
able array of fast, smooth-working
backs into action, and they ex
ecuted plays that had Washington
State completely bewildered.
Joe, hard hitting line cracker who
at one stage of the game carried
the ball on five successive attempts
and advanced. 48 yards; Triplett,
who scored one of the four touch
downs, and Francis Rogel, a new
comer to the Penn State array, were
outstanding ior me uons.
Working behind a line that more
than held its own with the husky
forwards from the Pacific Coast,
these backs had little trouble ripping
off long gains, once the Nittany ma
chine swung into action.
The first touchdown did not come
until early in the second period, and
climaxed a march of 57 yards, with
Elwood Petchel, 155-pound speed
merchant, tossing to Chuck Drazen
ovich, who caught the ball on the
8 yard line and went the remaining
distance.
Washington State averted a
whitewashing in the closing minutes
of the game when Robert McGuire,

10 yard line at the close of a drive

BROOKLYN, Sept. 20—It took a
pitcher who never before had won
a game at Ebbetts Peld to put a
crimp into Brooklyn’s bid to clinch
the National League pennant today
when Johnny Sain, curve-balling
Boston righthander, hurled the
Braves to an 8-1 victory over the
Dodgers.
The St. Louis Cardinals beat the
Cubs, 5-0, tonight.
As a result Brooklyn, now leading
St. Louis by eight games, still needs
one more victory or a Cardinal
defeat to make Its World Series
entry against the New York Yan
kees a mathematical certainty. The
Dodgers have seven games left to
play while the Cardinals have nine.
sun wins 2vui oust.
Sain, who gained his 20th triumph
for the second successive season,
never gave the 29,782 chilled cus
tomers a chance to whoop it up. He
limited the Dodgers to six scattered
singles and appeared on the way
to his fourth shutout of the year
until the Brooks combined a base
on balls, a single and a long fly in
the eighth inning for their only run.
Vic Lombardi, who in his last
start against the Braves had
emerged with a 1-0 victory, was
the starter and loser. He was fol
lowed to the mound by Jack Banta
and Johnny Vancuyk, recent im
portations from Montreal of the
International League.
The little left hander, although
nicked for only five, hits in the five
innings he tolled, never had a
chance. He allowed only an infield
single and a base on balls in the
first inning, but when he finally
retired the side he found himself
behind, 4-0.
Infield Goes to Piecea '
The usually reliable Brooklyn in
field went to pieces in that frame
and committed four bobbles to pre
sent the Braves with four unearned
runs.
Pee Wee Reese began the game
by fumbling Tommy Holmes’
grounder. After a walk and a force
play, Ed Stanley dropped Reese's
throw to second on Bob Elliott's po
tential doubld play bounce end all
hands were safe. Prank McCorinlck
then lined a single off Jackie Rob
inson’s glove, scoring Mike McCor
mick and when 8tanky hesitated
after retrieving the ball, Danny
Litwhiler also scored.
Phil Masi popped to short and
when Reese dropped the ball, Elliott
beat his throw- to the plate. Catcher
Bruce Edwards, attempting to nail
McCormick at third, fired the ball
into left field and McCormick
dashed home.
