Oysters, racing and lacrosse
still prevail in Baltimore. Foot
balls not for dear old Balti-
more.
Our washington Redskins, play
ing IN Baltimore last highland
for sweet charity, at that-drew
5000 cash customers through the
turnstiles.
Had it been War Admiral
against Sea Biscuit, 10000 Balti-
moreaas, possibly 10000, would
have turned out. Had it been an
oyster roast, 5000 to 1000 would
have reported for eating duty.
Had it been lacrosse-Maryland
VS. Johns Hopkins, for instance
maybe $4,000 would have been out
to see the game. But, as Mike
Jacobs would have said had he
eyed the house, Triggers don't lie,
there's less than 5000 in the
house."
CAME TO SEE SAM
Some $500 of the 5000 came to
see Slingin' Sammy Baugh-at
least it seemed so. Sammy gave
'em quite an exhibition, too. AS
for the Redskins, they gave quite
an exhibition, too, as exhibitions
go. However, it was an exhibition,
and nothing more-unleSS you
want to say that the Redskins got
in quite a bit of scrimmaging,
something all big league profes-
Sional teams always seek.
The Blue Birds, Baltimore's pro-
feSsional team, rang in a ringer"
The Redskins went to town over,
through and on each side OF the
ringer" who happens to be a
coach. Coach Ray Flaherty'S men
were not small enough to 60 under
the masked-marvel coach.
Washington scored six touch
downs, converted after five OF
them, and rolled up a total Of Al
points. The Redskins scored twice
in the first period, twice in the
third and twice in the fourth.
CAMPBELL STARS
Leroy Campbell, former West
ern Maryland star and known as
Sunshine" starred for the Blue
Birds. He tossed a pass which
put the Blue Birds in position to
score. The play accounted for 40
yards and put the leather at the
Redskins 14.yard marker. On
the next play, Sunshine" faded
back to toss another, couldn't find
a receiver and ran about 20 yards
across the big league teams goal
line. He's quite a player, this
Sunshine" boy. Wright kicked
goal after touchdown to bring the
Blue Bird total to seven for the |
night.
It was a cold night-too cold for
football in Baltimore.
The Redskins have two more ex.
hlbition games before meeting the
Pittsburgh Pirates in the next Ma
tional Football League game, in
Pittsburgh, November IA.
Washington meets the Rich.
mond Arrows, in Richmond, Va,
on Sunday, and then travels to |
Charleston, w. Va, for an ARMS
tice Day game. The Charleston
opponents of the Redskins were
at first named as the St. Louis
GunnerS, but 1t now appears the
Redskins will meet the Cincinnati
Models instead.
