RAY FLAHERTY FEARS OVER CONFIDENCE
MAY HURT REDSKINS SUNDAY

Base. Masters and other Eagle
backs to good advantage. Mortell
is very dangerous. He galloped SO
yards through the New York
Giants last Sunday, after he
caught a punt, and paved the way
for Philadelphia touchdown. He
caught the punt on his own
8-yard line and carried it to the
Giant 4-yard marker before he
was downed. ANY player who can
run SO yards against the Giants
must be rated nothing short of
dangerous.
Philadelphia's outstanding for
ward pass combination is Smukler
to Bill Hewitt. Bill plays left end.
The Redskins probably will check
closely on Hewitt, too, thus giving
the Eagles excellent chances to toss
the ball to Carter, Hewitt's run
ming mate, and to Arnold and Fry,
backs. Carter, Arnold and Fry are
adopts in the art of catching for
ward passes.

that the Eagles, enormously i'm

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-You would
have to go all the way down into
the major league cellars to find
a less colorful team than the New
York Giants, and a quest for a
less popular manager than Bill
Terry would carry you even far
Their than that. Still-but take
a look at the records.
Terry's legacy when he sue
ceeded John McGraw, the Great,
in the middle of the 1882 season
as manager of the Giants, was a
last place club. He won the pen.
nant the very next year, dropped
to second, then to third in 1884,
and 1885, and has won successive
remnants in the last two years.
Considering that they still pay
off on results, that ought to an
swer everything. In five seasons
he has lifted himself to a place
among the great managers Of all
time, Take him or leave him.

Did Not Value Gold

The value of anything depends up.
on the demand for it. The early
Inca Indians in South America had
plenty of gold, and they placed 40
especial value upon it until the
Spanish conquerors came and cre-
ated great demand for it, says
Pearson's London Weekly. The In
dians made various objects out of
the gold, even nails for driving into
wood. They thought it was some
thing like iron or brass. Likewise,
they had platinum, but did not value
it. In South Africa, the natives
threw diamonds at birds, and shot
them in "sling-shots" before the
white man came and created a de.
mand for them. The value of a
thing depends on how many people
want it.
