D. C. Firemen Hit Road for Four
Tilts After Losing to New York
By Bill Fuchs
The District Fire Department |
baseball team hasn't the time to
worry about its 7-4 defeat last night
at Griffith Stadium at the hands
of the New York Firemen. The

tonight against a semipro team in
Walden, N. Y„ will play the New
port (R. I.) Naval Training Station
tomorrow in Newport, the Boston
Firemen in Boston Sunday and
the Naval Academy in Annapolis
on Wednesday. -
Last night's game, played before
8 crowd of about 8,000 for the
benefit of the Metropolitan Police
Boys' Club and similar suburban
organizations, was a heartbreaker
to lose, particularly for 24-year-old
Ben Harrell, who was charged with
his first defeat of the season, Har
re 11 has 11 wins to his credit.
Harrell allowed two hits and one
run in the first inning, then settled
down to some fancy hurling. He
retired the next 14 men to face him
and still had a two-hittter going
into the eighth inning, at which
1 time Washington led, 4-1. Then his
control escaped him. He walked
the bases full and then tossed a
two-run double to Ed Als and a
two-run single to Herb White. Re
liefer Ernie Boggs came in and,
gave up another run before the side
w as retired. The New Yorkers
added another mark in the ninth
for their 7-4 win.

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK. Aug. 6—The 20th
Century Sporting Club, faced with
a major outdoor promotional scrap,
is finding it hard to attract paying
customers to its weekly indoor box

Only 4,417 fans showed up last

crowd was one of the smallest for

later that the fast-ball artist!
hadn’t hurled in three weeks and;
that he was handicapped by a
slight cold.
Lt. Henry Damm. manager of the
visiting team, thought Harrell was
too tense.
Damm evidently didn’t expect the
light he got from Washington.
“We have a good team,” he says.
'We're loaded with men who have
ilayed all over the world in the
trmed services and in the minor,
eagues. The only team we ever
lave trouble with is the Westhaven
i Conn, i semipro club. They've
leaten us twice this season.”
After New York had scored a run
in the first on singles by Bob Fieder
iein and Ed Als, a passed ball and
Herb White's long fly to right field,'
Washington evened the count in
the third. Singles by Harrell and
Dick Farr combined with a New
York error furnished the run.
Washington added two more in the
fifth on singles by Harrell and Bill
Moore, a pair of walks and another
error.
It looked as though the game prac
tically was sewed up in the seventh
when Washington stretched its ad
vantage to three runs as Barney
Wallerstein scored on Moore’s sec
ond hit. Wallerstein reached first
on one of three New York errors
that inning. In the eighth inning,
however, the roof fell in and New

D. C. Printers Last in League,
But Scent International Title
The Union Printers’ baseball team
leaves tomorrow for Detroit where
it will join 10 other Typo nines for
the 34th edition of the Union Print
ers’ International Baseball League
tourney.
The local lads are leaving behind j
a dismal record in the Departmental:
League where they clung tenacious-!
ly to last place, but according to1
Charley Holbrook and Eddie Ed
wards. two members of The Star’s
composing room staff, that doesn’t'
mean a thing.
“Last year,” reminds Holbrook,
who holds down the job of president
of the printers' league, “our team
wasn't as good as this one. Yet
we still reached the finals where we
lost to St. Paul by a close score."
“That's right,” says Edwards, who
managed the team to four straight
crowns from 1937 to 1941. “And I
personally look for them to go to
the finals again this year. I said
that last year and put myself out
on a limb. Well, this is a better
team. The hitting and fielding is
much better. They've played good
ball all year in spite of the records.
Most of the games they lost were
by close scores.”
ji me local ciuo needs any addi
tional Inspiration to play heads-up
ball, they can glance at the tourna
ment record book which shows that
Washington has won the crown 16
of the 33 times the tourney has
been held. The tourney dates back
to 1908 with time out for two World
Wars.
Washington has won the honors
twice in a row three different times,
four times in a row and five times
in a row. It is the only team to
win twdee on its home field, taking
the honors here in 1925 and in 1937.
Skins See Roussos
As Keenest Among
Rookie Tackles
By a Staff Correspondent of The Star
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 6.—John
Roussos, big, curly-haired tackle
from Pittsburgh, has been voted
the rookie tackle most likely to
succeed with the Redskins this sea
son. Going over their notes after
yesterday’s battering scrimmage,
and making memos for another
dose of same tomorrow, the Tribe's
coaches came up with that conclu
sion here today.
“He’s got a long way to go before
he’ll be a polished player," said
Head Coach Turk Edwards,’’ but he
shows a World of promise. We
think he’s got it.”
Roussos starred in the first real
scrimmage of the year, although
he had to share honors with Harry
Gilmer, Dick Poillon, John Konis
zewski and several others. Sammy
Baugh didn’t participate—and won’t
get into any rough stuff until all
the rookies know their assignments.
“We know what Sam can do,”
Edwards said, “but these rookies
are looking for jobs and one of
them might bust a signal and leave
Sam wide open. They’ll knock any
body down that gets in their way,
and we don’t want to take any
chances with Baugh."
Roussos shone defensivley, al
though he missed several plays. But
Rookie Sees Scout
In Shaughnessy
Star Staff Correspondent
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 6.—
A Redskin rookie saw Clark
Shaughnessy, former advisory
coach of the Tribe, standing on
the sideline, during one of the
team's earlier practice sessions.
Tommy Mont, one of Shaugh
nessy’s prize pupils at the Uni
versity of Maryland several years
ago, went over to shake his hand.
“Who is that guy?” asked the
rookie when Mont returned.
“Clark Shaughnessy,” he was
told.
"Holy smoke! Is he over here
scouting us already?”
when he hit he came through like a
ramrod. Koniszewski, coming back
after a year's layoff, looked great;
but injured his neck slightly on the
final play of the afternoon. Gilmer
gave the staff a hint of his poten
tial offensive value by crossing up
the opposition a couple of times
when he ran the ball instead of
'handing it off.
“He's like a jackrabbit,” com
mented Wilbur Moore. "He can go
and he'll be a real threat every
time he handles the ball.”
Gilmer, working with Rookie Ray
Whelan at center, didn't handle the
ball too smoothly, but the coaches
don't expect perfection this early
in the going. Ed Quirk, the big
rookie fullback, fumbled three times
and hit the wrong hole once before
it was discovered the helmet was
too big and kept slipping down over
his eyes. Moore, who has a shrewd;
eye for backs, thinks the fullbacks!
will be ail right.
Defensively the best outfit Ed
wards fielded yesterday was com
posed of Joe Tereshinski and Jim
Peebles at ends; Roussos and Henry
Harris, tackles; Fred Boensch and
Mike Katrishen, guards; Whelan
and George Wilde, line-backers.
Tackle Don Avery has a strained
leg tendon and Rookie Floyd Law
horn has an injured knee, but
otherwise the Skins are in fairly
good physical condition.
Boyanks Get Slosburg,
Ace Back From Temple
§y the Associated Press
HERSHEY. Pa., Aug. 6.—Phil
Slosburg, Temple's outstanding back
for the past three seasons, today
was signed to a Boston Yanks
contract.
Slosburg, who has a reputation
as a broken field runner, safety
man, pass receiver and tosser, played
every backAeld position at Temple.
He probably will be used at left
halfback by the Yanks.
New York won the other tourna
ment played here in 1910. Washing
ton is slated to play host again in
1950.
Detroit has quite a program
planned for the visiting teams.
There will be dances, banquets,
buffet dinners, sight-seeing tours,
boat rides down the Detroit River;
to Canada, a trip to beautiful Belle
Isle Casino—and sandwiched in be-!

where they hope to crown a cham
pion on Saturday. St. Paul is the
present titleholder.
Enjoying his first year as man

Grier, who doubles as catcher along
with Bob Courbat. Infielders in
clude Phil Boundford, Harry Hof

T Comes Hard to Gilmer; Baugh Big Help
By Lewis F. Atchison
Star Staff Correspondent
* LOS ANGELES, Aug. 6.—Har
ry Gilmer has found the T-for- j
mation harder to handle than
the 103 youngsters he had under
his wing at summer camp, the
rookie Redskin quarterback con
fessed today.
‘‘I don’t like the T yet,” he told
us, "but I can see how you can
do more things with the ball
using the T than you can in a
single wing. I'm getting so I give
it to the right man on running
plays, but I don’t handle the ball
well enough to fool anybody.
Maybe that will come in time.”
Helping the blond youngster
master the T is the man Harry’s
supposed to succeed, Sammy
Baugh. They’re roommates, and
Gilmer has a deep, abiding re
spect for the old Slinger’s ability.
When Sam speaks Harry listens
as attentively as a pupil at the
knee of an old master.
“I'm lucky to be under a coach
iike Baugh,” Gilmer said. "He
doesn’t have something to say
after every play, like most
coaches. When he does correct
me he calls me aside, shows me
what I’m doing wrong and how
to overcome it. I like that, and
everything he’s told me has
helped me. I can see why he’s
tops in this game.”

yet and sideliners haven't been
able to get a true line on Gilmer,
but he looks as if he'll do.
“He throws out of the book,
cocking his hand behind the ear
and coming straight down,” said
one end. "He throws a nice ball
—just about like Baugh—and not
hard to handle.”

catchers mitt to nandie. He
doesn't have the variety of mo
tions Baugh does, but he hits the
target, which is the important
thing.
Gilmer likes to throw to lanky
Bones Taylor, who can reach up
in the clouds and drag down
passes as easily as a scientist
trapping butterflies.
“He's got the knack of reaching
for the ball at just the right
time,” Gilmer said. "So many
receivers put up their hands too
soon, breaking stride and losing
ground. They'll miss a leading
pass every time. But Taylor runs
hard, waits until the ball is just
over his head, then grabs it. He’s
a good receiver.”

Nussbaumer and Eddie Saenz
dart around the field. He thinks
their speed and ability to get into
and out of tight spaces will mean
many completed passes once they
get the overhead game properly
co-ordinated.
Gilmer is quiet, pleasant and
rather retiring. Pretty much like
the average rookie he sits around
listening to the experiences and
jokes of the older players, wait
ing for somebody to speak to him
before saying anything. He’s one
of the hardest workers on the
field and the players all like him,
although It is plain many of them
wonder how a youngster his size
can generate so much power.
Harry’s weight has shrunk to
157 pounds, live pounds under
instead of that much over his
playing figure, but he isn’t wor
ried.
“I’ll get it back and more with
it if the food holds out," he said.
The Alabama star will talk by
the hour about the summer camp
he headed in the Tennessee
mountains near Sewanee Univer
sity this summer. He had just
written a letter to be read at the
campfire to all the boys when
we talked to him and he was
telling us some of his experi
ences.

; in camp, all just over nine, liv
ing in my cabin,” he said, “and
one day while we were lying on
our bunks during rest period one
of them said he was going to take
a poll. He was a sharp young
ster, and he wanted to find out
who we’d vote for for President.
"After they had taken several
votes he said, ‘It seems that we
all disagree, but I’m a Dewey
man myself.’ Just about that
time the smallest one in the
bunch piped up from the oppo
site side of the cabin, ‘Why don’t
we elect A1 Jolson, I think he'd
be a good President.’
"Those youngsters were hard to
beat and I’d like to spend my
life in that kind of work. Coach
ing? Uh, uh, not a chance.
That’s the one thing I don't
want to do. It doesn’t appeal to
me.”

Two-Ton Tony’s fistic rival, Max

Baxter, who pinned former title

last Wednesday night, will supply
Galento with plenty of opposition,

He vividly recalls a fight with
Baer in the summer of 1940 in

ly th* Associated Press
LINCOLN, Nebr., Aug. 6.—Ernie
Schneiter, jr., a slender Ogden,
Utah, youngster, is an ambitious
lad who would like to follow family
footsteps in the golf world. His
father and two uncles are golf pros.
The 18-year-old boy from the
West was one of the 16 remaining
contestants today In the battle for
the National Junior Amateur golf
championship. Ernie hoped to
swing through two more rounds of

third-round match against Dick
Estey of Portland, Oreg., who yes
terday tossed a surprise into the
tourney by beating Marvin (Bubby'
Worsham of Washington, D. C., 2

Kight Introduces New
Ford V-8 in Racing at
Lanham Tonight
Overnight developments which
made new talent and little cars
available today boomed interest in
tonight's weekly seven-event midget
auto racing at the West Lanham
Speedway, opening at 8:30 o’clock.
Of particular interest is the an
nouncement that Hawley Right,
one of the better Eastern pilots, has
been selected to introduce Charley
Stevens' new and specially built No.
5 Ford V-8, which is expected to
match the power and speed of the
fastest Offenhausers.
Stevens long has sought to turn
out a Ford that would hold its own
with the Offys. He is confident that
this new creation, which is equipped
with a Ferguson locker arm and
overhead valve system and the same
body and chassis as that which en
cased the new English cycle car in
troduced at Lanham in early sea
son, will do the job.
George Fonder and Ed (Dutch)
Schaefer, undisputed Lanham speed
kings since 1946, headline the Offen
hauser entries, but will be chal
lenged strongly by six rival Ofly
aces.
Mike Joseph, who introduced a
new Ford last Friday, comes back
in the No. 8 Offenhauser generally
handled by Walt Fair, while Mike
San Felice and Fred Moore, who
previously handled V-8s at Lanham,
also will be included in the Ofly
representation, otherwise comprised
of Charley Miller, Len Duncan and
Ernie McCoy.
Moore and San Felice have gained
high favor as Fordsters at Lanham,
and their transfer to Offenhauser
machines tonight will arouse un
usual interest. Shorty McAndrews
will see action in the potent No. 29
V-8 and will be included in a Ford
lineup that otherwise Will feature
Right, Pat Powers, Jim Forte, Hap
Dowd, Johnny Jars, Jim Forte, John
Gavin and Flash Gordon.
