Maybe its June in January or
September in the rain" or some
thing, but as far as five Catholic
University ex-college football play
ers are concerned, it will be Mole
skins in August.
Yessir, this football stuff has the
habit Of cropping up at the odd
times Of the year. Here it is June
%, and people should be inter
eSted in swimming, tennis, golf,
baseball and the like, but instead
about $50, 900 football frenZied fans
up and cast votes for a flock of
college players to play against the
Philadelphia Eagles, or the Ma
tional Professional Grid League.
The game will be played at Tenn
pie University Stadium, Philadel-
phia, August 26, and the five Cath
Ollie University gridSters who were
voted into the game were Bill
AdamaitiS and Joe Glodeck, half
backs; Joe Yanchuis, center; Joe
Anthonavage, guard; and Sam
Pagano, tackle.
First Week in August
The lads will assemble the first
week Of August and will go into
training under the able tutelage
of Heinie Miller, who, at an
earlier day was some shucks as a
player at Penn, and then later
coached at his Alma Mater,
Temple and later the Philadelphia
Eagles.
Many players representing
Georgetown, George Washington,
and, Of course, Catholic u, were
nominated for positions, but when
the final count had come through.
the quintet out Brookland way
were the only ones honored. It
is probably through the achieve
ments Of the Cardinal team Of
1885, which played and won in
the Orange Bowl game at Miami,
that prompted the heavy deluge
Of votes for these players. Any
how, they have been selected for
the team and each and every one
will be ready for drills in August.
There were no turndowns.
Several Of these players are now
attending summer school at the
Red Bird cchool, and those on
hand intend to work out daily in
the C. U. Stadium, scene Of the
majority Of their triumphS during
the past four years.
All Enthusiastic
All are enthusiastic in receiv-
ing bids to play in the !game.
Joe Glodeck was asked whether
or not he intended to 60 into pro
football pending the manner in
which he may play in the game.
Not me-" was Joe'S rejoiner,
I'm going into business-the res
taurant business. You see I've
been working my way through col
lege by waiting on tables in the
schools dining hall, and I have
a laundering for making corned
beef and cabbage and Of course
ringing up sales. I think have
a novel way Of serving hash, too"
We asked Joe If he intended
to make hash out Of the Eagles
22O-pound line, the night Of Au-
gust 26.
He said:
"Just give me q break, and

block and it may be q long,
long evening for the Eagles"

Braddock simply couldn't fight as
effectively as Joe Gould could talk.
Joe is one Of those loquacious
birds who has an answer for every
thing and he had a high-sounding

second-guessers had thought he
should.

waged it.

rather than put up defensive front
and force Louis to lift q crown
from a SNUG and satisfied mon
arch.
Well, this is the reason as told
me by Braddock'S manager, the
half.giIl Joe Gould, whose great :
contribution to the heavyweight
divisions seems to have been keep
ing Braddock out Of the ring for
two years after he practically
tripped into the title because Max
Baer wasn't very cautious with 1t.
Didn't Want BOOs
Said the voluble and gesticulat'
ing Gould:

fight he did because he DID not

chamuion with the bOOs OF the
multitude ringing in his ears.
GAS it was, Jim left the ring
mid the cheers Of the tnrong
and we still feel he can beat any
heavyweight on the horizon ex-
cept Louis"
That indeed was a pretty speech
particularly after the horse was
out of the stable, and fitted the
occasion perfectly.
But If you know your crafty Joe
Gould, you know he has an answer
for everything and is not entirely
untutored in the dramatic. In
fact, all of the time Braddock was
champion, Gould talked the great
est fight you ever heard.

NEW YORK, June 28.-A few
hours after Manager Joe Nc.
Carthy, Of the Yanks, had an.
nounced the 20 men he had
chosen to represent the Ameri-
can League in the AIl-Star game
in Washington July Z, Manager
Bill Terry, Of the Giants, today
came to bat with his % to rep
resent the National League.
Exclusive Of he pitcher, the
Nationals can field eight men
with a combined batting average
Of .362-the highest combine
ever sent into a game-and the
Americans are only sliehtly be-
hind with eight whose combined
average in the latest available
statistics is .345.
Both teams will have q world
OF defensive strength, speed,
power and brains. They will be
a managers dream team.
Hinges on Pitchers l.
With so little to choose be-
tween them in hitting and de-
fensive skill. the result as usual
should hinge on the pitching
and here the Nationals - with
Dizzy Dean, Carl Hubbell and
Van Mungo each travelling three
innings at top speed-would seem
to have an edge on the Ameri-
cans, with Tommy Bridges, Lefty
Gomez and Mel Harder,
Let's for example, take a slant
at how each managers best bat
ting bets stack up on paper.
The Washington times., 1937-06-28

The other players selected by
Bill Terry were:
Catchers: Mancuso, Giants
and LOmbardi, Reds.
Pitchers: BIantOn, Pirates:
Walters, Phillies and GrissOm,
Reds.
InfieIders: Collins, Cubs:
Whitehead, Giapts and BartelI,
Giants.
Outfielders: Demaree, Cubs:
Gene Moore, Bees, Mel Ott,
Giants and Joe Moore, Giants.
Coaches: Frisch, Cards and
Dresser, Reds.
Jess Haines, 44-year-old pitcher
OF the Cardinals, was named as
honorary coach, as a tribute to his
long and faithful service In the
league.
The rest of Mccarthy's selec-
lions are:
Pitchers: Grove, Red Sox;
w. Terrell, Senators and
StrattOn, White SOx.
CatcherS: Dickey, Yanks,
Sewell, White SOx.
1nfielders: Fox, Red Sox;
Greenberg, Tigers; Myer,
Senators and ROIfe, Yanks.
Outfielders: AveriIl, Indians;
Cramer. Red Sox; Moses,
Athletics.
Coaches: Fletcher, Yanks
and Baker, Tigers.
It will be noted that each
manager has selected at least
one man from each team in his
league. It also may be noted
that each manager can place on
the field a second team almost
as good as the first one. In
fact? Terry certainly could field
a team which would lack little
in power Of those named and
which probably would be better
on defense.
Needn't COncede Much
For instance, a team that had

head, Bartell and Vaughan on
the infield and Joe Moore, Dema-
rec and OFT in the outfield, would
not concede much to those with
higher batting averages.
Nor would Mccarthy have to
apologize for a team composed
Of Dickey, catcher; Infielders
Greenberg, Myer, Cronin and
Rolfe. and Outfielders Averill,
Moses and Cranner.
Any combination Is good
enough for the All-Star game. :
The question is which will have

Although it is well-known that

They were just two spies who
were caught at their trade. and in
the dark dictator countries of Eu-
rope, there is no shrift for spies.
HOW THEY WORKED
The unknown, unidentified
couple, in 1885, were living in the
city Of New York. They were
communists, or in the pay of CON-
munists. That much is known.
They wished to secure false
passports for the purpose Of en-
tering Russia. And so they
worked their little scheme. They
turned for aid to the dead, two
children, Ruth Norma Birkland
and Donald Louis Robinson, who
died respectively November 10,
1915, and March 81, 1909 at the
ages of six and four.
From the library files Of the
Health Department, available to
all, first the man, then the woman,
obtained the birth record Of the
dead children, applied for a birth
certificate in their names. And
apparently the Health Depart
ment never checked, does not
check birth records against death
records. The certificates were
mailed.
With the false birth certificates,
the pair applied for passports
through the office of county clerk,
Albert Marinelli, who recently re-
signed his office under pressure
from Special Prosecutor Thomas E.
Dewey. The county clerks office
has the power to issue passport
certifications.
Once the C certification was
signed, the rest was routine. The
passports were granted. mailed to
the Drama League Travel Bureau,
where they were picked up by the
two on April 6, 1886.
A year later, they sailed away
and into the oblivion from which
they may never emerge, either
alive or dead.
