GIANTS LAUNCH
FINAL DRIVE

The New York Giants rolled into
town today for their battle with
the Washington Redskins at Grit
fifth Stadium on Sunday Afternoon.
The Giants are quartered at the
Willard Hotel, and practiced to-
day at Griffith Stadium. They will
work tomorrow at the home of
the Nationals, and will have a
brief workout on Saturday morn
ing at the ball park.
Steve Owen, coach of the Giants
is not deceiVing himself with re-
gard to the game with the Skins.
The champions have won two
games and tied one, which is i'm
pressive in itself, but there has
been a progressive improvement in
the Redskins with each game. The
Redskins are high scorers and
leading ground gamers over land,
and through the air; facts which
most certainly are not lost upon
Mr.. Owen.
This business of being a coach
is one of many worries, 'twould
seem. Ray Flaherty is worried be-
cause the Giants have been
knocked off twice, and now are
ready to tear up the sod with any
and all opponents. Statistics show
that the Giants are practically
even with TIE Redskins in most
of the essentials of football.
The Clans will be strengthened
in that all important second line
by the addition of John Karcis,
former halfbeck of Carnegie Tech,
and erstwhile backfield ace of the
Pittsburgh Pirates. Karcis is no
stranger to the Redskins. He led
the Pirates to victory over the
champions last year and is pre-.
pared to lead the Giants against

D. C. GOLF Open

With the addition of five over
night starters and the withdrawal
of one player, Eddie Stevens of
Manor, the District Open was
scheduled to get under way this
morning, with a field of twenty
five competitors up to post time
over the tricky Washington Golf
and Country Club layout.
Thirty-six holes of medal play
were scheduled for today with a
like number tomorrow. Advance
dopeSters have been saying that
288 will win over the par 10 course,
which has never before figured
in a pro championship. The
course record of 66 is held jointly
by Maurice Mccarthy Of Beaver
Dam and Dave Thompson, host
pro.
Favorite in the tourney opening
today is an out-of-town pro, Ed
Oliver of Wilmington, Del, with
Witty Cox of Congressional a
close second.
Other important contenders for
the Open title are Cliff Spencer
of Beaver Dam; AL Houghton. Old
Point Comfort pro; Leo Walper,
Middle Atlantic champion. and
Lewis Worsham, assistant pro at
Chevy Chase.
Gene Larkin, Woodmont pro in
charge of the tournament expects

GARIBALDI FACES

mat HEADLINER

Headlined by two Of the out
stading matmen in the game to-
day, Promoter Joe Turner will
present another all-star wrestling
program at his w Street Arena
tonight.
Ernie Dusek, toughest and the
best of the famous Omaha broth
ers, will exchange grips with Gino
Garibaldi, Italian standard bearer
and recently twice conqueror Of
Ernie's brother, Joe, in the main
attraction, scheduled for 80 min
utes. However, it's doubtful it will
go the full distance.
Two former football heroes. Ed
Newman, stocky Jewish perform
er, and Ed Meske, handsome Lith-
uanian, will hook up in the semi
final event, and the boys will
really have something to go to
town for, as the victor is in line
for a shot with the survivor Of
the feature bout, probably the
week following.
Three newcomers will be seen
in the other time-limit trays.
However, the chief interest Of
the trio centers around George
Wilson, former U. of Washington
All-America halfback, who en-
counters John Bad Boy" Katan,
of Canada, while the other new
importations, Frank Bruce, of Ja-
maica, L. l., and Pat Kelley, Of
Los Angeles, clash with 370-pound

whether the Rupert rifles kept
"Goofy" or shipped him UP the
river?
Probably not, though it was a
close thing at the time. He
couldn't win for losing, and we
chance to know about the game
that started him back on the
right road. We wrote him let
ter in this space about that one.
Which is baseball. :: We were

that afternoon.
Today we'll be roofing for

"Goofy" still isn't our pal and
will go on being, but that we
have a constitutional weakness
for the underdog and a leaning
toward the National League that
traces back down the years to

Blues VICTORY
EvENS UP SERIES

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. 6
U.N.S0.-With two cloutS apiece
everything was even today in the
family squabble between two Of
the New York Yankees farm
clubs for the little world series"
title.
The Kansas City Blues of the
American Association squared it
with a 9 to 8 victory over the
Newark Bears of the International
League in the fourth game here
last night.
Most of the scoring came in the
last three innings and was topped
n the final frame by Jimmy
GleeSon'S home run with a man
on base that tied the game up for
the Bears. His effort was wasted
however, when Johnny Riddle
singled in the Kansas City half to
bring Gallagher home from sec
ond with the winning tally.

they gave around that second

the light on top the Wrigley

not the point. The point is that
Jerome will send it in there sing

finger with a stabbing pain in

In one sentence, Diz might
have a questionable arm, but
never a questionable heart. And

We were talking to Rogers
Hornsby in the press box before
yesterdays game.
Rogers was saying that the
most overlooked Yankee player,
and one to whom they owed no
little of their success, was q
young man named Frank
CroSetti.
Nobody ever mentions that
fellow" said Rogers. But
don't let anybody tell you that
the Yankees would be the same
team without him. He's plenty

ding, the series will come to the
banks of the Harlem as even
as six and a half dozen.
The Yankees may beat jerome
from the right shoulder down,
may lambaSt and lombard him
and drive him crestfallen to
the showers. But take the word
of a guy who knows him well
for this. They'll never beat him
underneath where he wears the
word Cubs" on his shirt. About
his arm I don't know, and
doubt if anybody does, except
that Diz himself knows it hurt
every time he bore down against
the Pirates in his last start.
Great Heart
About his heart I do know,
and so does every ballplayer
who ever swung ash against him.
When it comes to pitching, his
heart is as big as Radio City. If
they load those bases on him
with nobody out and Dickey.

But if Dizzy Dean, the brag-
