EDWARDS SPARK
OF RED SKINS,
SAYS WAKEMAN.
BY TONY WAKEMAN
(WOL Sports AnnOunCer)

They call him "Pappy" Ed
wards. A Commute man except
when his muscles are tortured and
torn. He's in there every minute,
fighting with those other ten
teammates of his; getting the
most out of them. He's the hub
of their attack. He IS the Red
skins!
Look at yesterdays game with
the Brooklyn Dodgers. Everybody
thought it was a moral victory
when the Dodgers held the Skins
to a 1916 tie, but in reality it was
a victory for the woefully under
manned Washington eleven.
The Redskins are periously
close to LOSING Captain Turk
Edwards, considered the outStand-
ing football player of all time.
We learned today that Edwards
did NOT want to play football
this year. In fact, he agreed,
after much pleading on the part
of Coach Ray Flaherty, to play
ONLY in the ALL Star games at
Chicago and Dallas. Since that
time, "Pappy" Edwards has been
on a game-to-game contract.
TURK INSPIRATION
This is significant when the
morale of the Redskins is ana
lyzed. Without Edwards the team
is by no means world champion
outfit, but just mediocre ball
club. Well illustrate. When Ed
wards was hurt yesterday and
left the game, the team fell apart.
The Dodgers scored a touchdown
and kicked field goal.
Turk returned to the game and
what happened? The team sud-
denly had an injection of that
indefinable something that makes
great ball clubs. In THREE MIN
UTES they marched to two touch
downs. Turk was in there calling
the turn on plays; urging; plead
ing and getting the most out of
group of ball players that are seri-
ously handicapped by the loss of
their star backfield men-Sammy
Baugh and Riley Smith.
SPARKPLUG OF TEAM
Without Edwards, the team is
indeed only ordinary and contrary
to some opinions on yesterdays
game which stated the Dodgers
scored an amazing upset by hold
ing the Redskins to tie-it was
the Redskins who scored the up
set. What have they in there
without Baugh and Smith? A lot
Of rookie kids. What would they
have without Edwards? He's the
sparkplug Of the attack. The
plays revolve about him. The
players ask his opinion; respect
his judgment and accept his
theories and commands. And
thus-they call him "Pappy."

And KATAN
in MAT BATTLE.

Promoter Joe Turner today an
nounced the signing of Red Ryan
and John Katan for the semi
final to the return Joe Dusek- -Gno
+Garibaldi match which tops the
Wednesday nights wrestling card
at the w Street arena. Both Ryan
and Katan scored in sensational
style on last weeks card.
The rematching of the young
est of the Dusek clan and Carl
baldi is expected to draw a ca
pacity crowd, for the pair put on
one of the most heated battles IN
this city in a long time. 1t was
an unusual ending, with Gino,
flat on his back on the concrete
floor, declared the victor while
Joe, standing in the ring, was
disqualified for violating all rules
of the profession, chiefly for use
of the strangle hold.

New Dealers Fight
To Control Vital
Rules Committee

WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.
(UP)-Administration lead
ers in the house sought to-
day to smoothe the path for
New Deal legislation in the
next congress by recapturing con-
troll of the rules committee.
In order to accomplish this, they
believed it would be necessary to
retain the present 10 to Demo-
cratic majority and not grant Re-
publicans increased representation
in line with COP congressional
gains in the November election.
-Four members of last years rules
committee, which provided the ad-
ministration with some of its big
gest headaches, were defeated for
election. Two of them, Reps. Arthur
H. Greenwood, D., Ind, and Byron
B. Harlan, D., O., were admins
tration votes. The other two, chair
man John J. O'Connor, D., N. Y,
victim of President Roosevelt's S
campaign to defeat anti-New Deal
ers, and Rep. William j. Driver, D.,
Ark, were inclined to balk at White
House leadership.
Thus the administration is in a
position to add four friendly men,
berS to the vital committee, and
to gain the chairmanship in the
person of Rep Adolf j. SABBATH, D.,
Ill, a dependable New Dealer, who
succeeds O'Connor.
But even with this increased pro-
administration sentiment on the
body, the New Deal remains in
vulnerable position, for Rep. E. E.
Cox, D. Ga, an outspoken foe
of the President, becomes ranking
Democrat and in line for the chair
manShip upon the next vacancy.
Other anti-NeW Deal Democrats
on the committee include Rep.
Martin Dies, D.. Tex, who has
broken openly with Mr.. Roosevelt,
and Reps. Howard w. Smith, D..
Va, and j. Bayard Clark, D., N.
c., both of whom generally oppose
the administration.

mystery, was i'm the custody here
this afternoon of El Centre PO-

1t was expected that SOnada

I'm not sure, but there is a

Japanese, in custody in Mexicali

kidnapping Yamatoda. AT the same
time, Nose Sheffield and Bob KubO
we're free under heavy bond, accus-
ed in an Ell Centro complaint of kid
naping both Sonada and Yamatoda.
Spokesman for Yamatoda claimed
the complicated series of charges
was due to rivalry over control
of an Oriental film concession in
Los Angeles, while Oswalt claimed
it was because of rivalry over an
attempt to create an Ell Centro
gambling concession.
New developments will depend
upon whether the two Japanese
factions will keep the peace" Os-
walt commented.
Oswalt's statement followed close
ly the start of Los Angeles coun-
ty investigation of other angles OF
the strange case which involves
variety of charges ranging from
attempted murder to gambling.
The first charge in the complicated
sequence was filed when Yamatoda
