Gotham Hears There's Talk
of Rechristening D. c.
"BaughviIIe."
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

"A YEW YORK, Dec 4.-The mad
M dest, merriest crop of football
" filberts in the Nation at the
moment appears to have
sprung UP at Washington, d. c.
They've quit pointing out the Wash
ington Monument to visitors. The
most hallowed spot Of them all now
is located just south Of midneld at
Grifflth Stadium, where Sammy Baugh
stood last Sunday and pegged touch
down pass agoinst the mighty Green
Bay Packers.
There's some talk of remaining the
village Baughville, or at least running
the tall Texan and all his teammates
on the professional Redskins for Con-
gress. Seven thousand OF the teams
most incoherent admirers are coming
up here on special trains Sunday TO
watch it play the New York Giants
for the championship of the Eastern
Division Of the national pro league.
Flaherty Is Impressed.
NEVER saw a town go so football
mad in my life" said Coach Raw
Flaherty as he practiced the Redskins
at Westchester Country Club. There
were 10000 out to see us play last
Sunday.
The Redskins moved to the Capital
from Boston only this season. George
Marshall, owner of the club, dropped
$4,000 in five years at Boston. When
Sundays game is over he expects TO
have wiped that loss off the books and
cleared an additional $4,000. That's
nice business.

at Boston the team had a great run

lineman and captain.
Flahery was asked II there had
been any symptoms of jealousy of
Baugh's popularity.

Reason is he acted modest and full
Oh 1un from the moment he reported"
With one game to go, Baugh has
completed 10 passes and needs eight
more Sunday to break the league rec
ord. He hasn't taken much of a beat
ing from charging linemen, like some
passers do.
They're afraid to rush him too
hard,' Flaherty explained. Hes too
dangerous runner. He'll sidestep
them and light out with the ball"

Redskins Band on Deck.

NEW WORKERS may have reason
to think the Indians have come
TO reclaim Manhattan if they happen
to be on Fifth avenue tomorrow or
at the Polo Grounds tomorrow after
noon. Only this time the Indians"
will be the Washington Redskn Band.
According to Owner George Mar
shall. his 55-piece band, which has
played at all of the National League
games in Washington this year, will
arrive in New York tomorrow morn
ing, dressed as Indians. Led by Chief
Lone West. the Cherokee who has
served as barker at the Griffith Sta
dium entrance this year, and Tommy
Hampton, the Chickasaw, who has
dore a war-dance on the sidelines
before and during games, the band
will parade from Pennsylvania Sta
tion up Fifth avenue to Columbus
Circle and then take bus to the Polo
Grounds.
There they will watch their
cousins the Redskins, try to take,
not Manhattan back from the New
Yorkers, but the leadership of the
Eastern division back from the Giants.
If they do repossess the lead they lost
on September Is, they'll win The
championship.

Will Match the Giants.

THE Giants had better not try any
funny stuff, either. Apprised of
the situation during the Green Bay
game. when Tarsan White, New
York's rookie guard, came to blows
with Lutlow Of the Packers, the Red
Skins responded thusly:
Let the Giants start fight If they
want to. AS for us, We'll keep on
playing football. We've notion the
best-played football is going to decide
the game"
And the Skins are convinced that
they're the better team All this stuff
and there's plenty of it in the New
York papers-sbout the Giants hav-
tng the better players, the better rec
ord. and the psychological advantage
of playing at home is all bunk, say the
Capitals representatives.
Sure. Danowski is great passer.
Sure, Leemans is a helluva runner.
Sure, Corzine is a great blocker, and
sure, Tilly Manton is liable to decide
any game with a field goal But
what about Baugh and Battles and
Pinckert and Riley Smith? Any doubt
about their being passer, runner,
blocker or placekicker?. Especially
Slingin' Sam, who now looms as the
Redskins outstanding triple-threat.
Give the Giants line all the credit
In the world. It's allowed only six
touchdowns in 10 games-less than
half as many as the Redskins have
yielded. But with only two out Of
six having played pro football before
this year. MEETINGS I'd take the Red
skins forwards who average nearly
three years per man in the National
League. Experience in an important
game isn't the worst thing in the
world to have.

WE HAVE a hunch the Skins are

the air, revealed by short tempers and
sharp tongues, all indicating that the
Skins are on edge.
That's healthy sign, according to
Coach Ray Flaherty, who would
rather have petty chickering's among his
players than squad full of con-
tented. self-satisfied and Indifferent
gridders. The chickering's are nothing
personal, you understand, but merely
indicate the fact that every one is
chafing at the bit.

Further proof Of her thorough
knowledge and sympathetic under
standing OF the Spanish character as
well as her mastery of the art of
expression was evidenced when Mrs.
McMillin presented her own interpre-
tatlon OF two Spanish plays, NAL
Valoca' and "Daniela." One felt the
power OF the Andalusian story and
there were thrills, suspense and pathos
when the IA characters of the play
were skillfully impersonated, all radi-
atlng from the personality of this
versatile Southern woman.
A SIDE from her dramatic ability,
Mrs McMillin has been one of the
highest paid lecturers in the country

her subtle humor, makes the lecturer
irresistible before an audience.
Holding the unique position Of being

lectures and dramatic readings One
member of her audience said. These

Problems
Discussed
BY EMILY POST,

nEAR MRS. POST: Do you think it
wrong for young woman in an
office to accept an increase in salary
If she knows that as soon as something
turns up she will leave? I'm not dis
satisfied with the place itself or with
the treatment get from my employ
ers, but this is not the type Of work
for which was especially trained and
took it because could get nothing
else
Answer-I think your attitude does
you credit, but from a practical stand
point see two reasons against re-
fusing the salary tquite apart from
renouncing the advantage Of extra
money!. To tell your employers you
are only waiting for q chance to leave
is going to make them prefer to have
you resign at once-in other words. 1t
is going e. destroy their satiSial ton
in your work, which up to now has
evidently pleased them. There are also
two possibilities of your wanting to
keep the Job. You may not find an
other. and you may get to like the one
you hold. So perhaps 1t may sound
unethical, but I think you would
better accept the raise-and try to
be worth it for 50 long as you stay
or else resign. Otherwise you will
simply upset every one.

members Of the same family send

ever, as one Of her close friends said,
"she Is one Of the few women in the
world who can say no and make you

stamped on this gracious lady.
lnnately a diplomat, Mrs. McMillin
laughingly said there never was a
first step in her political life. Soon
after leaving school, she was married
to Gov. McMillin of Tennessee, who
had been in politics before she was

Mrs. McMillin admitted. from the

FOLLOWING her colorful life as

countries Of South America. Her
husband was appointed United States
Minister to Peru during the history

this community with the earnestness
and the enthusiasm that are two of
her charming qualifications.

ditionS, If he does, the runaway may
be remanded to the jurisdiction of the
local Juvenile Court for final settle
ment of his difficulty.
CHILDREN run away from the
wealthiest homes as we'll as the
poorest. They run away from quarrel
ing parents, from dominating older
brothers or stepbrother, from school
and from boredom. Boys run away
about 10 times as often as girls. but
girls are more determined once they
get started.
A boy may start out blindly after
dinner without a dime in his pocket
and not plan in his head. A girl,
on the other hand, will brood over her
flight perhaps for weeks, saving money
to tide her over until she can get a
Job. When she is finally traced, the
girl fugitive may resort to lying. And
if she lies. it is impossible to break
her story, according to Miss Hodgson.
In the gentle art of lying, boy run
away is a bungling amateur compared
to girl-probably because his story
wasn't planned as carefully as the
girls
Spring is the runaway season for
boys and girls alike. The end of the
school term always brings its crop of
runaways who want to escape the
failure they know is coming Others
take fight merely because they are
bored with the eternal grind of classes
and because Spring is in the air
Epdemlcs of runaways sometimes
occur as result of publicity given to
such an episode or the boasting of a
returned runaway. Though young
children have reached Washington
from as far away as California and
Montana, the bulk of the runaWays
come from the Southern States. South
Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia
Chicago has also sent its share.
