REDSKINS TRAIN
IN MINNESOTA
NEXT SEASON
BY KIRK MILLER

Gathering up the broken and
shattered pieces of dismal season
afield by Washington's profes.
sional Redskins, Owner George
Marshall and Coach Ray Flaherty
are in New York today for the
annual draft meeting, already
figuring ahead for the 1889 cam
paign.
All of you washington fans who
have declared yourself secretly
and openly as being all washed
up with the club, will have an
unusually long time to forget your
present peeve, for you Shan't see
hide nor hair of the Skins until
the first conflict is staged here
next fall.
Briefly, the Redskins are not
going to make last falls mistake

GOES TO DULUTH

They will put in their practice
ticks far to the North and Mid
West along the Great Lakes.
Immediately after this weeks
draft huddle and the Giant-Pack
ers game, Coach Ray Flaherty will
HE himself to Minnesota. where
he will inspect training site
facilities which have been a stand
ing offer for a year now from the
city of Duluth. 1t is pretty safe
to forecast that it will be accepted.
And between the lines of the
above recital is read the answer
to a question which has been on
no few lips.
1t is simple to discern that Ray
Flaherty is to be retained as the
1889 coach and that Owner George
Marshall in no way holds Flaherty
to blame for the Indifferent Red
skins of 1898.
Flaherty's job is saved out of
the holocaust of 1889 which is
being forgotten by the Redskin
management as rapidly as pos
Sible.
PRIDES ABILITY
Those who know George Mar
shall will tell you he was sold on
Ray Flaherty long before Flah-
erty was a member of the Red
skins, nor yet the successful coach
of worlds champion team.
Because Marshall prides himself
on his ability to pick out his execu-
tives. George made his mistakes
in coaching choices, and has profit
ed by them. In the beginning
when it was the Boston Redskins,
he hired Lud Wray, the old Penn
sylvania end-strictly on the ad-
vice of Lou Little; then Lone
Star" Dietz - recommended by
Dick Hanley and Pop" Warner,
and finally, Eddie Casey, proposed
by BoSton's leading football scribe,
Bill Cunningham.
None of the above having accom-
plished Mr.. Marshall's real pur-
pose, he negotiated for Ray Flaher-
ty, solely on his own intuition.
Ray will have to develop some
real faults before he and George
Marshall part professional COM
pany.

WaltOnites Will
Feature Campaign
For Fish, Quail
Rockville Chapter Also Plans
To Attend Outdoor Show
In Baltimore

For distribution among Montgom-
cry County land owners who have ice
ponds on their properties, a large
number of yellow perch from the
United States Bureau of Fisheries will
soon be received by the Rockville L.
AJAX Walton League Chapter.
It was stated at the monthly meet
ing of the chapter that these fish
will be deposited in the ponds of all
who are willing to cooperate by talk
ing steps to prevent surface water
from flowing into their ponds and to
screen the outlets so that the perch
cannot escape.
1t was explained that fish of this
type thrive in small ponds to such
an extent as to provide excellent pis-
catorial sport and delectable food. 1t
was estimated by Reuben Riggs, pres
ident of the Rockville Chapter, that
several hundred of the county's prop
erty owners would take advantage of
the opportunity to have their ponds
stocked
With a view to increasing the coun-
TVS supply of quail, which in recent
years has become greatly depleted,
the chapter voted unanimously to con-
duct a drive for funds with which to
purchaser large number of bob white,
preferably in Virginia, to release in
pairs in the early spring in all parts
of the county. 1t was held that such
a program would mean much-improv-
ed quail shooting in the fall. The en-
tire membership of the chapter was
made a. committee to contact sports
men and others.
The group endorsed the model game
measure it is planned to have intro
duced at the next session of the Cen
eral Assembly. The principal purpose
Of the proposed law is to divorce the
State Conservation Department from
politics, it was stated. The chapter
decided to endeavor to enlist the CO.
operation of other organized groups
as well as individuals in the proposed
Legislation.
1t was indicated that large num-
Der of the chapter members would at
tend the North American Sports, Gar
den and Outdoor Show, to be staged
in the Fifth Regiment Armory, Bal.

Capital Transit Asked To
Furnish Express Service
Continued from page II ~

Electric Railway was preferable to
this, because it ran as express to M.
Street in Georgetown and voluntarily
subjected itself to the jurisdictions of
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
But when the Capital Transit Com
!pany was trying to escape a substan-
tial contribution to what was stated
by President Hanna to the
Public Service Commission of Mary
land (letter April %, 1891 would
"mean the expenditure of between
$4,000 and 100000" by this COM
!pany in connection with the proposal
improvement on Wisconsin Avenue be-
tween the District Line and Bradley
Lane, resulting ultimately in, the ap-
plication of the Capital Transit Com
pany, dated June 6, 1885, to the Public
Service Commission to abandon the
street car tracks of the Rockville Line
between a terminal on Wisconsin
Avenue at or near District of Column
bia Line and the municipality of Rock
.ville," the Capital Transit Company
expressly recognized the necessity for
mid-county, and the desirability fol-
nearby suburban, commuters to have
downtown Washington express serv.
i've over one or the other of the bus
lines now operated by the Capital
Transit Co.
This operating company, in its said
application to the Public Service Com
mission expressly stated:
"The Company also has under con-
sideration the institution of through
bus service between Alta Vista and
the downtown district in rush peri
eds only, at preferential fare with
in the District of Columbia in case
same is warranted by the traffic de.
mands: such service to be supplement
tary to the through bus service now
furnished by the Montgomery Bus
Lines, Inc.
It is hoped that, after the inaugu-
ration of certain economies, obviously
practicable to attain, our new presi-
dent of the operating company will
be better satisfied on the subject Cd

At any rate, no harm can result
from an intelligent study of the sub
ject in all of its phases; and this

Car Exchange Week, announced yesterday in fulpage
TooL Thooo advertisement in this and other news
- papers. In addition to having carried the
O~S OOeT ad we're glad to volunteer this editorial
boost for the idea.
It isn't charity drive; used cars aren't being given
The objective is entirely practical and think
economically sound-to try to speed up the American
ket for good used cars.
This ought to accomplish two desirable results. It
should push off the roads lot of ancient that should
have been unked long ago. And should clear the tracks
for hoped-for big spring orders for cars-meaning
more jobs for auto workers Detroit the recession
began
AS the dealers and manufacturers say there many
thousands of used in excellent condition that be
bought at low prices 1887 36 and 35 models which have
been tuned up and scked up and sale at figures
far below the prices of new current models
If you're running around in crate now our
advice is to how cheapy you replace it with good
used You may yourself serious accident. If
you don't car find out how little it costs to become
a car owner during National Used Car Exchange Week.
