Cliff Battles Set
For Friday Game
ACE BACK ADDS
RUNNING POWER
TO RED ms
BY HARRY COSTELLO


Cliff Battles, veteran star Of
professional football, is ready for
the issue.
Cliff, who has been laid up with
an infected knee, resulting from
a boil, is back In harness with the
Redskins and ready to take his
place in the lineup against the
Chicago Cardinals, in Griffith
Stadium, Friday night.
The return Of Battles to the
Redskins lineup just about in
creaSes the power of WaShington's
running attack by SO per cent.
When Cliff gets by the line Of
scrjmmage, he's bad news for the
enemy.
In the pro game he is rated the
best all-'round back extant. He
has great speed, tremendous leg.
drive and remarkable elusivenesS.
It Is said Of Battles that on de-
Tense he's a constant offensive
threat for the reason that he has
uncanny ability to snag enemy
forward passes out Of the air.
GREAT RUNNER
In the Redskins Legion All.
Stars game at Frederick, Nd.
recently, Battles galloped to two
touch downs with intercepted
passes.
Redskin enthusiasts, now mum.
bering many thousands more than
they did a week ago this time, in
sist that footballs greatest back
field Of all.time Is composed Of
Riley Smith, Sammy Baugh, Cliff
Battles and Don Irwin. In yes
terday's practice session, this
quartet performed for a time as q
unit and all four players looked
great.
In Friday nights game, the Red
skins will go up against an
aroused Cardinal outfit. The loss
Of last Sundays game to the De-
troit Lions doesn't sit well with
the Cards and they're determined
to upset the Redskins. Coach Mi.
Ian Creighton and his chief assis-
tant, Phil Handler, insist the Car
dinals are in an ideal position to
win over Washington. They point
out that the Chicagoans will enter
Friday nights game as underdogs,
the very condition they want to
exist as Redskins and Cardinals
clash.
BEAT GREEN BAY
The Cards started the season
with a victory over the Green Bay
Packers. After that win, however.
according to Coaches Creighton
and Handler, the boys got a bit
overconfident with the result that
Detroit defeated them. The de-
feat by Detroit chaStened them no
little and now they are in the
right frame Of mind for a real
performance against our Redskins.
Included in the Cardinal lineup
are no less than IS veteran pro-
fessional performers. Besides, the
Chicago team has a brilliant crop
of youngsters crop which in.
cludes a number Of notable col
lege performers.
The contesting teams in Friday
nights game reported today that
they are in the best of condition,
with not a single injury listed for
either eleven.

not swear under oath, it has always been
said that "Old Goldenrod" was the first
major league ball player to toss his baseball
cap into the ring for Uncle Sam in the
drum throbbing days of IT.
Whether he was actually the first, or only
among the first, isn't so important in view
of the fact that "Old Goldenrod" got over
to La Belle France as quickly as he could.

"Old Goldenrod" did not Immediately switch

DC. Ring Suspension
Finds Louis Cold

Joe Louis, heavyweight cham.
pion of the world Except in Wash
ington, D. C. where he was Sus-
pended early in July for belong
ing to Mike Jacobs heavyweight
truSt), became the center of a
social dispute no sooner, he set
foot on District soil shortly after
midnight.
Louis is in Washington to par
ticipate in a softball game at
Griffith Greensward tonight be-
tween his Detroit Bomb Bombers
and an all.star cast made UP of
local players.
Louis was met at Union Station.
at 1870 this morning by Earl H.
Mcdonald, local colored sports
promoter who has Joined al Stern
in staging the softball game to-
night.
The Negro champion Except in
Washington was Immediately
whisked to the home of McDon-
aid and there enSconSed, to be
saved from his adulatorS and best
wishers.
SHRUGS SHOULDERS
This brisk action taken by
Mcdonald did not rest well with
DR.. w. A. Goodloe who resides in
the toney Nineteenth and S Street
area and who was Louis host two
years ago when Joe made a local
appearance for the colored Elks'
convention. Goodloe Immediately
set about to kidnap Louis, and at
noon reported success.
It remained to be seen whether
reprisals would be taken later on
in the day for the hijacking Of
Louis from one element by the
other.
Meanwhile Louis did not know
he isn't the champion in the Dis
trict of Columbia, and rather
shrugged his shoulders on being
so apprised.
"Ah dom know nuthin' bout
dat" said the stylishly dressed
young champion, adding "Ah
leaves dem things to Mistu
Jacobs and Julian Black, en- eff
dey was tot amt champion
heah, den dey nevah toll me-"
AS a matter Of fact, it isn't
really as serious as it sounds, for
Louis has no intention Of fighting
here, certainly so long as he can
draw big gates in New York and
Chicago.
The softball game starts at $50
O'Clock. ...

brought under control early to-
day.
The fire swept the central
plants of the Standard and Cook
Oil Companies and threatened the
downtown industrial district be-
fore it was checked by a maSSed
army of firemen
DAMAGE ESTIMATED
Official estimates placed the
damage at 100000 because, by a
queer quirk of fate, the flaming
walls of gasoline which enveloped
the blazing tanks prevented spread
of the fire to the other storage
tanks nearby.
Thousands were drawn to the
scene as the flaming fuel Spurted
high in the air and gushed down
the cutters in rivulets of fire.
Only one firemen was injured.
He was Lieut.. Robert Brecken,
whose face was badly cut by frag'
ments of an exploding drum.
Virtually every piece of fire APP
paratus in the city was called
into the fight. Only skeleton pro-
lection was left for the outlying
districts as fire marshals concen.
trated their strength of forces on
preventing a major holocaust.
TRUCK BURNED

known origin about 1880 p. m. yes
terday and ragged virtually I'm
checked for hours. The heat was
so intense that even the heavily
coated firemen we're unable to ap-
proach near enough for effective
work.
The crew of one fire truck mar
roWly escaped with their lives as
the burning oil turned the ma
chine into an island in pool Of
flame. Caught without warning,
the crew had no chance to drive
the machine to safety and were
forced to leap through the flames
and run for it. The truck was
burned to a heap of twisted metal
within five minutes.
Eight hours after the fire was
first reported, dozens of firemen
were still throwing chemicals and
water over the wasted property to
prevent any sparks from rekindl-
ing the blaze.
