Redskin Fans Are Mystified
By Clubs Weak Running Game
Near Coal, Weak Kick-Offs

will say that the Singer is not equally
proficient as kicker or safety MANI
but should anything happen to Sam
my, the Redskins might be in a sad
need. Seems to us as If few spread
formations near the enemy's goal
line might provide the chance for
successful off tackle or end runs oc-
casionally. instead of the conventional
Baugh pass.
About Those Kick-offs.
WHY does Capt. Turk Edwards
kick off for the Redskins? Ad-
mittedly great tackle, extremely fast
for his big frame, the 255-pounder
nevertheless, has had trouble in
booting that ball down to the alien
20-yard line. He looked great on the
last kickoff Sunday. when he booted
to the and then got down the field
for the tackle himself on the 20, but
previously his first kick had Travelled
only 25 yards to Brooklyn's 35 and his
succeeding one only to the 25.
The last two queries are aimed at,
+
about doing something else to those
Redskin numbers? Even if the locals
had won all Of their games by over
whelming margins they still would
stand admittedly as shown up-in
dress-by every visiting team which
has played here. The Giants had q
foot high white numerals on blue
jerseys, the Cardinals had bright red
numbers on white and the Dodgers,
nattiest OF all. big white numbers on
scarlet. In sad contrast, the Red
skins gold-on- burgundy, not only has
been indistinct. but the players ap-
pearance is far inferior to their sta
ton as gridmen.
But. asks Mr.. Marshall, who SAYS
now that Washington won't support a
big-league team? Even if the Red
SKINS three remaining home games
| attracted no more than 26,00O-or
less than 1000 per game-the local
laundry magnate would make money
on the venture. Before the start OF
the season, Marshall said he would
have to average $4,000 per game. The
first attracted 24,942; the second
22,367. and Sunday. 1928 came out
| despite the rain.
The total attendance thus far Is
e3.592, an average Of 21,197-or 5000
more per game than required to keep
G. P. M. out Of Redskin red.

Show Must" Click.

MANY Of these persons never have
been and never will be boxing
fans. Ahearn feels the average fight
fan will be attracted by the card,
thus enticing the same crowd as
would turn out to witness name"
fighters. This resoning may be criti-
cized, but 1t has merit. If he Is
correct the saving on guarantees will
mean that many more bottles Of
milk for the children.
Ahearn's argument Is q direct about
face, since Goldie first promised to
import Harry Jeffra, world bantam
weight champion: Sixto Escobar, for
mer bantam ruler, or joey Archi-
bald, fifth ranking featherweight. He
failed to land any of them, so the
resulting card really Is second
choice. He now is emphatic In his
conviction that his original idea was
all wet, but an Ahearn never admits
defeat.
Goldie has fathered . few fascos,
but his catering to local hstic needs
usually has been successful. This

of undernourished children. It has

TN WHICH a Few questions con-
cerning the Redskins are asked
and fewer answered:
L When, asks Gus Phan, are the
pros going to start their reputed
razzle--dazzle, laterals off forwards,
triple passes for touchdowns, ETC. :?
Mr.. Ray Flaherty, the Washington
coach, answers that one:
Not until the season is little
more advanced. Most persons don't
understand that all that apparently
slap-happy ball-handling is the re-
suit Of constant practice, exact timing
and more practice. Laterals are some
thing which have to be worked on
and not attempted until regarded as
near perfect as they can become
The idea that foot ball is basket ball
is erroneous, and only when We are

Redskins use them"

Where's Ground Scoring Power?
QUESTION No. a.: Where is the
ground-scoring punch supposedly
latent in such runners as Clin Battles
and Don Irwin and such blockers as
Erny Pinckert and Riley Smith?
Battles, admittedly the best runner in
the league, and Irwin, the best line
plunger. have been sadly shackled
near the pay-on zone.
It's hardly believable, but true. that
the Redskins have scored only four
touchdowns in three games and all
four have been scored via the air.
Riley Smith intercepted a Giant pass
to run for the only touchdown in the
opening game, Baugn passed to Ma
lone and Battles for two 6-pointers
against the Chicago Cardinals, and
Millner took pass for the only touch
down Sunday against the Dodgers.
Thirty-eight points in three games,
or an average Of less than Is q game
is not very high for a team with the
potentialities of the local backfieId.
So far, the Redskins seem to have
been banking all on Baugh-and who

Danny London and Lou Gevinson
supposedly comprise the main course,
but that hardly stands out in bold
relief against other arguments now
in the process Of arrangement. From

card leans toward mediocrity, but
from the blood-and- thunder angle it
appears to have something.

lightweight division due to his in
ability to whittle down to l26 pounds.
The competition Is more formidable

THIS card will serve as sort OF a
yardstick for indoor shows here
this season, with Baby Manuel, Ray

Dean and Cowboy Howard Scott also
slated to appear in the show. Names
like these hardly figure to create any

are other angles to be considered be-

"A YEW YORK. October 5.-Miller
M Higgins once said that the
" the first pennant was the
easiest win. After that they
came tougher. He should have known,
because twice he won three pennants
In q row. And I've talked with other
managers who have hung up pennant
strings-John McGraw and Connie
Mack-and they say the same thing.
Right now, probably Joe Mccarthy
and Bill Terry, each with a second
pennant in succession in the bag,
would agree with them. Mccarthy
and Terry each had a serious problem
this year. McCarthy's task was to
keep the Yankees from thinking they
couldn't lose; Terry's to make the
Giants believe they could win.

THE Yankees were heavy favorites
going to the post, and. by the time
the Al-Star game rolled around in

American League simply didn't enter
the Yankees and let it go at that.
And, as it was, the Yankees domi-
mated the game. Gomez, Gehrig,
Dickey. Di Maggie and Rolfe ruined
the afternoon for the National
Leaguers and threw the power of the
Yankees into even bolder relief.
Talk was revived of the desirability
OF breaking up the Yankees and SELL

league to give the other clubs a
chance. Silly talk, Of course, but a
reflection Of the situation created by
she Yankees powdering of the ball.

DOG MUSHER BRINGS LOCEY TO FAIRBANKS ........ .... ........ ...

Dog musher Jeff Studdert re- turned to Fairbanks recently bringing Weston Locey to the dentist. Studdert had driven his F dogs 65 miles from Pine creek, tributary of the Cinema river, with the patient. He made the trip to Fairbanks in two days.
 Studdert, Locey, Ted Williams and Cliff Miller have been work ing for MT. and Mrs. Charles O. Fowler on Pine Creek, prospect ing and doing other assessment work.
 When the party left Fairbanks a couple of weeks ago they trav- eled by truck to Mile B on the Richardson highway, then mush- ed across country to Pine creek. This route was selected because of the danger of overfiows and open water on the Cinema.
 The map distance from Mile B to Pine creek is only 32 miles, according to Studdert, but the party got lost and the trip took ski days.
 It was the toughest trail MT. Fowler had experienced in a .scors=of years. The men had to chop out much of the trail, and they ran short of grub.
 A supply of provisions had been flown out to Pine creek for them by Pilot Frank Pollack.
 Studdert will drive his dog team back to Pine creek to re- turn the party to Fairbanks.
