Redskins Take On
Tough Forty-Niners
By LEWIS F. ATCHISON I
Star Staff Correspondent
SAN FRANCISCO, Au*. 6.
Shut out in six exhibition games
last season, the Redskins open
their 1955 tour here tomorrow -
against the Forty-Niners at
Kezar Stadium with a firm vow 1
to mend their ways. 1
Between 25,000 and 30,000 ■
fans are expected to see the ]
game and most of them look for
a three-touchdown victory for i
the weighty and experienced i
Forty-Niners. The occasion]
marks Red Strader’s debut as
head coach of the West Coast !
club and he wants to bow in 1
with a win. With this in mind. ’
Strader has named a veteran of- 1
fensive team to start the game 1
and his heaviest artillery is j
ready for action, although it is i
likely that Halfback Hugh Me- :
Elhenny will make only a token i
appearance because of his recent 1
back injury.
It is one of the sternest tests
the Redskins could get in their ;
seasonal debut, and a stout de- :
tense seems to be their best
weapon. If a husky line, featur- i
ing the initial appearance of Slug I
Witucki at Jim Ricca’s old:
middle-guard spot, is able to i
check the host eleven’s explosive ;
backs, the Redskins will be in .
the ball game. )
Offensively, the Washington 1
squad can’t match names with I
the Forty-Niners, although i
Coach Joe Kuharich feels that
his starting quartet of Eddie <
Leßaron, Scooter Scudero, Jim
Monachino and Rob Goode will:
give the opposition trouble. Le- :
Baron and A1 Dorow will share <
the quarterbacking unless one 1
develops a hot passing streak.
Monachino is a former Forty- i
Niner back who was traded to ;
the New York Giants last season i
and dropped before the season 1
opened. The ex-California star i
also has been troubled by a !
cough, but still stacks up as the :
best man for the post. Rookie i

WIN, LOSE OR i
DRAW
LSI\M FT By FRANCIS STANN
r "
In Case You're Interested ... ;
JIM TATUM, HERMAN HICKMAN and other college {
coaches who fared badly and were subjected to criticism f
in past All-Star football games in Chicago, will be most £
interested this week in seeing what Curly Lambeau does
against the Cleveland Browns. . . . One of the late Arch ji
Ward’s last promotional decisions was to replace the College jj
All-Star coach with a pro who, he felt, would be better j
qualified to cope with the National League champs. ... An j
* ironic touch is that Tatum, who drew Sport Editor Ward’s ]
public criticism as early as half-time last'year, frequently i
was mentioned as Lambeau’s successor when Curly wasn’t ,t
doing so well with the Redskins.
Ernie Banks, Negro shortstop for the Cubs and the !
hottest item in baseball today with his 37 home runs (in- ]
eluding four grand-slammers), doesn't look like a power h
hitter. ... He swings almost casually short, but his wrist
action is the envy of almost every other hitter. . . . Here’s
a tip from Banks to boy ball players: “Don’t try to generate ;
power by using a heavy bat” . . . last year I swung a 34-
ounce bat,” Ernie says. “This year I lightened up and that
31-ouncer I’m using is getting me those homers.”
Ben Hogan’s “secret,” played up in Life Magazine, is
merely a modification of “pronation,” a technique which
Allan Burton of Army Navy and Wiffy Cox of Congressional
have been teaching for years. . . . Vice President Calvin
Griffith of the Senators shudders whenever Yogi Berra or
Nellie Fox comes to bat in a key situation. . . . “They are
the two best money-players in the American League,” Cal
says. “Ted Williams? We walk him.”
** * *
RED SOX FANS, as fanatical, perhaps, as those in Mil
waukee, have forgotten the old theme song, “Tessie,” and are
playing, singing, humming or whistling the new one from
“Damn Yankees” called "Ya Gotta Have Heart." . . . Jim
Busby trade note: Since the Senators traded the fleet
centerfielder to the White Sox, the Chicago club hasn’t
done any better, percentage-wise, but the Senators who
were in fifth place on June 7 and 12 l / 2 games back with a
.449 percentage were, as these lines were written, lolling in ,
seventh place, 26 Vst games behind and with a .349 percentage. ]
Paul Gallico, who used to cover boxing and other sports ;
with a more sympathetic viewpoint, lambasts the ring game j
in September’s Esquire. ... He is likely to receive more than
one rebuttal—from Col. Harvey Miller, for instance—after ;
stating: “The game (boxing) has, in my opinion, nothing
to recommend it It brings out the worst in human beings. :
... As entertainment, it is uncivilized; as exercise, it is
contradictory and ridiculous; as a means of self-defense, it
is wholly absurd. I cannot find a single thing that Is good j
about it.”
Anyone for fishing—or crabbing? . . . Gus Berlitz, j
commodore of the big fleet of inboards at nearby Deale, Md., j
says that at long last there are hardheads, spot, trout and
perch off Holland Point bar—but chiefly at night. .. . Crabs,
which don’t seem to care whether it’s night or day, are in
abundance and Berlitz’ new gimmick is to steam ’em free of
charge.
** * *
BUCKY HARRIS, being congratulated about his :
. Tigers last week by a Washington admirer, said: “I just j
wish we had one big pitcher. That, plus a Gehringer at
second base.” . . . When asked if a Bucky Harris at second
base would help, the Detroit manager only murmured: “Well, !
he might not hurt us.”
When Johnny Adams not long ago became the fourth
American jockey to ride 3,000 or more winners, he singled |
out Hasty Road and Kayak II as the best horses he ever i
rode. . . . They were good steeds but hardly close to the top j
ones that fell and still fall to Arcaro, Longden, Atkinson and |
now Shoemaker. . . . It’s their football team, but the $4
asking price for Notre Dame’s theater TV seems a bit high.
Seven more seasons of catching 100 or more games and
Yogi Berra will join Bill Dickey in the record department.
. . . Berra, who caught his 100th game last week, made the
grade for the sixth year in a row.
** * ♦
FORGOTTEN MAN OF the Dodgers seems to be Gil
Hodges the first baseman, who is comfortably on his way
to a seventh straight season in which he has knocked across
100 or more runs. . . . Peewee Reese’s article in Collier’s,
listing the top men he’s played against from 1940 until now,
surprised quite a few fans with the choice of Whitey Kurowski
of the St. Louis Cardinals, long since gone from the majors, I
as third baseman. . . . The rest of Peewee’s all-opponent !
team: Musial, Slaughter and Mays, outfielders; Mize,
Schoendienst and Dark, infielders; Walker Cooper, catcher;
Maglie and Lanier, pitchers.
Ralph Branca, a pathetic figure when he threw that
home run ball to Bobby Thomson to end the National League
race in 1951, admits he’s had it. . . . Branca, who pitched
batting practice for the Yankees the other day, said, “I
was Just trying to keep in shape.” Recently he was cut adrift
jfrom the Giants’ Minneapolis farm.
I State, who'll relieve him, will
play mosthly on defense.
Oddly enough, Zagers, one of
the Redskins’ speed boys, and Vici
'janowicz, former Ohio State All- i
American, touted as one of the !
team’s key offensive men, have
been tabbed for defensive work atj
deep left safety. Billy Cox, rangy;
former Duke back returning to
pro football after a Navy hitch, |
will start at the other deep safety 1
spot in a move designed to check
the Forty-Niners’ famed long
passing attack.
The only rookie in the Red
skins’ defensive platoon is J. D.
Kimmel, a 245 - pounder from
West Point and Houston, who’ll
be at right tackle. Kimmel will
help try to stop Joe Perry, the
National Football League’s lead
ing ground-gainer two straight
years, and John Henry Johnson,
another potent runner. It is a
task that will try the mettle of :
the entire forward wall, with
Volney Peters at the other tackle!'
and Gene Brito and Chet Os-j
trowski at the ends. •'
The Redskins haven’t beaten,
San Francisco since 1950 when 1
Sammy Baugh paced them to a 1
31-12 decision. The Forty Nin- ■
ers then were newcomers in the 1
league from the disbanded All-;)
America Conference. Since then. I
the Forty-Niners have accumu
lated a string of six straight vie- i
tories counting two league!
games. n
Offensively, the Redskins areii
certain to miss Bones Taylor, re- l
tired pass-catching end, who ■
scored eight touchdowns last i
year. Johnny Carson will be atj
one flank, while Ralph Thomas,
Norb Hecker, recently returned:
from Canada, and Charlie Jones, ,
still nursing a broken hand, may
alternate at the other. With
three rookies in the line. Walt ,
Houston of Purdue and Red Ste- ‘
phens of the University of San !
Francisco at guard, and Fred ! (
Miller at right tackle, the Wash-;,
mgton eleven will be at a distinct
disadvantage up front.

Senators Beat Indians Again, 6-5;
3 Other A.L. Leaders Also Lose
Tigers Trim
Yanks, 7-5,
With Big 7th
NEW YORK, Aug. 6 OP).— I The
Tigers blocked the Yankees from
regaining the American League
jlead today by scoring four runs
!in the seventh inning for a 7-5
j victory after the other flrst
; division clubs had lost.
Losing scores for Chicago,
Cleveland and Boston were
posted on the Yankee Stadium
scoreboard as the Yanks went
;down to defeat despite a three
run pinch homer by Yogi Berra
|in the eigth.
As a result of the combination
of events in the race, the White
Sox held first place oy one per
centage point, with the Indians
land Yanks tied for second and
the Red Sox only two games
were back. The Tigers are 5Vi
games off the pace.
Billy Hoeft and Bob Wiesler
battled in a scoreless duel for
| five innings before each side
scored twice in the sixth. Two
throwing errors by the leaky
Yankee defense and three Tiger!
singles added up to a decisive!
four-run burst in the seventh j
-as Manager Casey Stengel shift
ed pitchers wildly. Hoeft. tiring
in the heat, retired after seven
“innings.
Berra Hits 20th
After Berra’s 20th homer with
Mickey Mantle and Hank Bauer
on base in the eighth moved the
Yanks within one run of Detroit,
the Tigers added another score
in the ninth on Fred Hatfield’s
double and Harvey Kuenn’s
single.
In the last of the ninth, the
Yanks staged a desperation
threat as singles by Rookie
Bobby Richardson and Mantle
put men on first and third with
only one out. A1 Aber, who re
placed Joe Coleman in the l
eighth, struck out Bill Kkowron
and Bauer to end the game. !
The Detroit seventh was a
! nightmare for Stengel and the
Yankees' fans among the gather
ing of 15,002. Tom Morgan, who
had replaced Wiesler in the
seventh, was doing the pitching.,
As soon as Morgan walked Jock
Phillips, out he came. Jim Kon
stanty took over.
Delsing Breaks Tie
Ray Boone's liner bounced off
Konstanty’s right leg and the
i pitcher threw into centerfleld for
lin error, letting Phillips take
third. Jim Delsing’s pinch single
scored Phillips with the tie
breaking run.
After pinch-hitter Earl Torge
son filed out, Frank House, bat
ting for Marry Malmberg, sin
gled to drive in Boone. House
moved to second when Richard
son’s throw to second on Hoeft’s
bouncer pulled Phil Rizzuto off
the bag, Delsing scoring on the
play. Kuenn singled to left,!
bringing Johnny Kucks to the
scene. Bill Tuttle’s sacrifice fly;
drove in House with the fourth
run of the inning.

Monmouth Oaks
jWon by Arcaro
On Misty Morn
i OCEANPORT, N. J., Aug. 6
i UP). The Wheatley Stable’s
Misty Morn and the Woodland
Farm's Blue Sparkler hooked up
today In a thrilling stretch duel,
with Eddie Arcaro booting the
favored Misty Mom home by a
neck in the $61,800 Monmouth
Oaks.
The big crowd of 36,059 thrilled!

to the ding-dong battle, run in
hazy, humid 90-degree tempera
ture at Monmouth Park, and the
decision was in doubt right:
down to the wire.
Eleven 3-year-old fillies started
in the race, but it turned outj
to be a two-horse struggle for
the final half-mile of the mile-:
and - one - eighth test. It was
! seven big lengths back to the]
jtnird horse, Christopher T.j
Chenery’s Manotick, who got the
show spot by three-fourth of a
length over Louis Lee Haggin s 1
Hen Party.
Opens Up Big Lead
Glen Lasswell, aboard Bluej
Sparkler, shot out of the gate in
tront of the stands, and by the
tune his Fleet Miss rounded into:
the backstretch with about three- 1
quarters of a mile to go she had
opened up six lengths over the!
favored Misty Morn. Miss E. R.
Sears’ French-bred Soya, who
was the 5-to-2 second choice, was
third at this point, but she broke
down and was pulled up a half
mile from home.
Arcaro, who now has won five
ol the 10 moaern Monmouth
Oaks run since 1946, decided it
was time to go after the flying
leader as she whirled into the
far turn. Misty Morn came up
with a rush, and with a quarter
of a mile to go just before they
straightened out for the stretch
run, the Wheatley filly shoved
her nose in front.
The crowd was roaring, expect
ing Blue Sparkler—a Jersey-bred!:
filly—to quit. But she stayed
right in there pitching and they’
fought it out head and head all !
!the way to the finish.
| The winner’s time was 1:50%,];
ljust two-fifths of a second slower]
jthan the stake record set by:
! Evening Out, Arcaro up, last
year. j!
Misty Morn paid $4.20, $3.40 j
and ($2.60. Blue Sparkler re-j{
turned $8.20, and $5.00. and]!
Manotick (4.40. i
Trained by Sunny Jim j
Misty Morn, a bay daughter!;
of Prlncequlllo-Grey Flight, by "
Mahmond, is owned by Mrs. Hen
ry Carnegie Phipps of New York,
and trained by Sunny Jim Fitz

Saratoga in the Providence .

er Handicap from older mares. (
Amory Haskell, president of;
Monmouth Park, almost had to '•
hand the big Oaks trophy to him- j
jself, for he owns Blue Sparkler.ji
I Arcaro said he was glad his '
mount “got off to a faster start!',
than usual" or he'd never caught i
Blue Sparkler. An eighth of a !
mile from Dome, he did a
Job of switching his whip fromu,
right to left hand and a couple 1 ;
of taps helped him grab the j
$43,700 first money. ii
“I didn’t want her to open upje
such a lead,” Lasswell said, "butl'
I wouldn’t hold her because sheji

4-Run First,
Shea's Relief
Whip Tribe
By BURT HAWKINS
Hie awakened Senators con
tinued to harass the Indians
yesterday before an exclusive
gathering of 2,921 at Griffith
Stadium, hanging on to win a
6-5 victory on highly effective
relief pitching by Spec Shea
when pressure and heat were
beating down on him.
A sweep for second-division
clubs tightened the hectic Amer
ican League race still further,
with Chicago clinging to its top
j perch by .001 over Cleveland
and New York. Boston remains
I two games off the pace, with
Detroit picking up a game to
! whittle its deficit to 5%.
Once again, the Senators
splurged early after Cleveland
(had clipped Camilo Pascual for
two quick runs in the first in
ning. Washington retaliated
with four runs in the first in
ning off Art Houtteman, the
loser, and zoomed into a 6-2 lead
against Jose Santiago, whom
they nicked for a run in the sec
ond and another in the third.
Ramos Tight Until Sixth
Pedro Ramous, who replaced
Pascual with none out in the
second, clung to that lead with
a brilliant brand of relief work
until the sixth, when the Indians
produced three runs,
j Bobby Avila opened that up
rising with a double off the
leftfield wall and scored when
Pete Runnels bobbled Hal Nara
gon’s grounder. Pinch-hitter
Dale Mitchell’s grounder took a
hop over Shortstop Jose Val
iivielso’s head for a double,
scoring Naragon and disposing of
Ramos.
Chuck Stobbs retired. Pinch
hitter Ferris Fain on a hot
grounder to Mickey Vernon, but
when he walked A1 Smith, Man
ager Chuck Dressen summoned
Shea from the bullpen.
Two Hits Off Shea*
Shea was welcomed by a pop
fly single off the bat of Pinch
hitter Ralph Kiner, scoring Mit
chell, but Spec then applied the
brakes. He got Vic Wertz and A1
Rosen to foul to Eddie Yost.
Thereafter Shea allowed only
one hit—Rosen’s single with two
down in the eighth—and emerged
with credit for his second vic
tory.
The Indians pried two runs
from Pascual in the first inning
when Smith opened the game
with a double to left. Gene
• Woodling followed with a double
to center and Wertz singled, but
the Senators rebounded rapidly.
Yost walked and Ernie Ora
vetz singled before Vernon
popped out. Roy Sievers walked
to fill the bases, but Woodling
raced in to spear Runnels’ low
liner. Houtteman walked John
ny Groth to force across a run
. and two more scored on Jose
|Valdivielso’s single to center.
iThat blow chased Houtteman,
i and Ed Fitzgerald ushered San
-1 tiago into the battle with a
single, scoring Groth. When
jValdivielso attempted to take
: third on the hit, he was nailed
by Woodling’s throw to Rosen.
| Senators Boost Margin
Ramos’ single, Yost’s sacrifice
jand Vernon’s single staked the
Senators to another run in the
, second and they boosted their
i advantage to 6-2 in the third
when Runnels singled, raced to
j third on Groth’s hit-and-run
j single and scored on Fitzgerald’s
fly to Smith in right.
Oravetz, Groth and Valdivel
so each supplied two of the
