Aug. 31 —Still looking for their first victory of the season, the Red skins meet the unbeaten De troit Lions here tonight in the third outing for both teams. The kick-off is scheduled for 10 p.m. Washington time, but the game will not be broadcast or j televised. The Redskins edged the Lions twice last season, once in league competition. Detroit is rated a touchdown better to night. The Lions polished off the Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles in their first two starts, while the Red skins bowed to the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco Forty-Niners. Detroit came from behind to win both games, after trailing at the half, while the Redskins lost after being out in front in both of their appearances. Schrader Injured Jim Schrader.

Md. opened his bid (or a top! ten national ranking yesterday by decisively defeating Richard Ogden of New Canaan, Conn., in the first round of the men’s National Tennis Champion ships. 6—3, 6—4. 6—2. The 19-year-old Washington area youth played well within himself in beating the prom ising Connecticut junior star i Don's service, long a source of I worry to him because of a tendency to double-fault, was well under control throughout the contest. One service break in each of the first two sets turned the tables in Don's favor. The Yale University sophomore took advantage of some volleyinß lapses by Ogden to win these games. In the final chapter he took an early 4—l lead and then won his next two deliver ies to wrap up the contest. If Dell should win his second match, he will probably meet Sven Davidson of Sweden, seeded 3 and one of the fa vorites to capture the title. A win or good showing against Davidson, added to Don's recent victory over Ashley Cooper of Australia, will project Dell into the forefront as one of our country's top tennis prospects.

U. S. Davis Cup Talent Hunt On At Nationals FOREST HILLS. N. Y . Aug. 3f f/P).—As the National Tennis Championships went into the second session of a 10-day stand at the West Side Tennis Club today. Jack Kramer, the man with the checkbook, isn't even on the scene and for that the United States tennis brass is thankful. They won't have to worry about any of their golden boys turning profes sional this year. Kramer has his touß all lined up. But there are other worries. Sometime between now and next Saturday, they have to decide on a Davis Cup team to take down to Australia for the challenge round in De cember—if the United States reaches the challenge round. In recent years, there hasn’t been too much trouble—Tony i Trabert. Ham Richardson, Herbie Flam, Vic Seixas. The names usually were the same. Different Story This time around, though, the story will be different. The j bigwigs will make their annual! appeal to Dick Savitt to play on the cup team. He. no doubt, will give them his usual answer: "No.” Then there is the case of Budge Patty. The 33-year-old blaster spends most of his time in Paris these days and has ignored the pleadings of the United States Lawn Tennis Associat ion to play the summer circuit heie—until this year. Patty, they say. has the kind of game that can beat the Aussies. big service, plenty ot volleying. He'd like to make the trip down under, but he wants to be assured that he'll play and not go along as a second-stringer. Then there is the case of 43-year-old Gardnar Mulloy. A top player for many years. Mulloy teamed with Patty this year and won the Wimbledon doubles, then reached the final of the National doubles before bowing to Ashley Cooper and Neale Fraser. Mulloy thinks he and Patty are the only pair capable of licking Cooper and Fraser. Had Mulloy and Patty won the Na tional doubles. Cup Captain Billy Talbert would have been obligated to recommend them for the cup doubles spot. Richardson said if he is picked, he will refuse to go to Australia without his wife and the USLTA won't pay wives’ expenses. Seixas, for whom this is old stuff, hasn't had much to say on the subject yet. But he will. He's an out spoken fellow. No Upsets The first day's program yes terday went off without a hitch. Practically the entire lower half of the men's draw finished its first round with no reversals. Savitt and Richardson both won easily as did Fraser. Savitt dumped Calvin MacCracken of Tenafly, N. Y.. 6—l. 6—o, 6—4. Richardson ousted Steve Gott- Jleb of New York, 6—o, 6—o. 6—2. Fraser dropped Peter Estln of Greenwich, Conn., 6—l, 6—o, 6—o. Top-seeded Cooper. along with Patty, Seixas and Flam, don't get into action until to day.

Round Table, owned by the Kerr Stable of Oklahoma, hasn't met Iron Liege since he finished third in the Kentucky Derby May 4.

Eddie Plank, another onetime Giants' Win Over Bears Proves Defense Strong By the Associated Press The New York football Giants banished all hopes of their adversaries that their defensive line would be no ticeably weakened this year by the loss of Tackle Roosevelt Grier to the Army. The Giants put on an iron clad goal-line stand against the Chicago Bears in an exhibition game in Dallas last night that netted the Bruins only 3 yards in four tries. When it was over, the world champions took over on their 2-yard line and marched 98 yards, under the passing of Charley Conerly. lor a score that nailed down a 24- 17 decision.

(Grover Cleveland Alexander set the modern ma jor league rookie record at 28 with the 1911 Phils.) The Phils completed their scoring in three innings, with Gran Hamner driving in two runs, then left it to Sanford. The 6-footer struck out six and now has beaten every team except Cincinnati. Drysdale, the Dodgers’ top winner, allowed only singles and retired the last 13 in or der while winning his 14th and fourth shutout. The Dodgers, who had lost five of their last seven with the Giants, had 12 hits, including homers bv Gil Hodges, Charlie Neal and Carl Furillo.

Byerly Again Helps to Stop League Leaders By BURTON HAWKINS Star Staß Correspondent NEW YORK. Aug. 31.—The Senators have a chance to en joy their most successful sea son against the Yankees in many years and instrumental in their fine behavior aganist the front-runners has been Bud Byerly, who will celebrate his 37th birthday in October. Washington has whipped the Yankees the last three times they’ve met, accomplishing a 4-2 victory yesterday before 9,235 customers as Byerly res cued Chuck Stobbs and pre served a triumph for the left hander by restricting New York to a pair of singles in the last 3Vi innings. Bud accents control, having permitted only 19 bases on balls in 81 innings, and his sharpness has been particularly keen against the Yankees. In his last three outings against them he has pitched 9Vi in nings. allowed only four hits, no runs and hasn't yielded a walk. y Run Average Is Good His season labor against the top team has been highly ef fective. He has moved into action against them six times and displays a 2.08 earned run average, Winning two and los ing one—the loss coming after a passed ball immersed him in trouble. The Senators are nursing ambitions of a split in their season series with ths Yankees : They’re 7-10 at the moment with five games to go, so they'll be forced to capture four oi the remaining contests to ful fill their aspirations. Russ Kemmerer, a 6-1 win ner over the Yankees and Art Ditmar August 8. will have a chance to duplicate that effort tonight. Russ will be seeking an eighth win, while Ditmar will be striving for No. 9. The clubs will clash again tomor row. Mickey Mantle got the best of it in head-to-head dueling with Roy' Sievers yesterday, cracking his 34th homer to break a triple tie for the Amer ican League lead in which Sievers and Ted Williams were involved. But Sievers remained locket with Mickey for runs-baited-ir. supremacy with 90 each, itby thumped across a run witn •. sacrifice fly in the fourth in ning to score Ed Yost, who haa tripled. Mantles homer in the same inning offset it. Mickey also contributed two single arid elevated his average thre: points to .376.

Rocky Bridges and Vost. shelled Shantz. The Yankees got their other run in the sixth on singles by Mantle, Bill Skowron and Harry Simpson. Byerly came along to put out the fire. NOTES: Six of the Senators' j nine hits were extra-base blows ... Skowron, like Mantle, ob tained three of the Yankees' 10 hits. ... The Yankees' home attendance has passed the 1,200.000 mark. ... At home and on the road the champs have played before 2,901.405 | fans—more than three times as many as have seen the Senators. Bridges made the play of the day in the ninth when he rambled back of second base to spear Simpson's bounder i with a leap, then whipped him out. ... He was aided by Julio Becquer's adept stretching for the throw. . . . Hank Bauer jammed a thumb sliding into second base in the second in ning, was replaced later and probably will miss tonight's game. . . .
