Given a pointer by the experience Of
others. the Washington Redskins are
preparing for their game the night Of
August 81 at Chicago with the College
All-Stars as they would for 4 regular
National Professional Football League
contest
In the four games played by the
All-Stars-selected by national vote as
the best Of the previous years college
seniors-and the professional cham
pions, the professionals have had q
singularly tough time.
Trained as 4 team and playing
against mob, as 1t were, and football
is team game If ever there was one,
the professional champions have won
once and lost once by indecisive scores
and have been tied twice.
Bears Took Game Lightly.
For the first of these contests, the
professional Chicago Bears sighted
training and we're held to a scoreless
tie by lot of ambitious youngsters.
One Of the Chicago backs was 20
pounds overweight. Nagurski was at
his peak and the Bears thought to win
was only a matter Of giving this great
back the ball. But Nagurski and the
other Bears, I imagine, learned more
about how vital Is spirit in the win
ming Of football game.
For the second game the Bears
trained seriously. They may have

DURHAM. N. c.. Aug. IL R.-W.
@. Bramham. president Of the Ma

Baseball Leagues, said today players
on organized baseball's retired rosters
who participate in semi-pro tourna-
ments would be placed on its ineligible
list.
This is not discriminatory against
any particular tournament" he said.
Under the terms of the major minor
league rules and the national associa-
ton agreement, all players who are
on the active, suspended or retired
lists Of any of our clubs are restricted
from playing in any of the several
semi-pro tournaments which are con-
Quoted in various sections Of the coun-

result in the ineligibility Of the Offend

worked too hard. They won, SO, on
a safety and field goal scored late in
the game. 1t was not a decisive VIC
tory. but 1t might have been had Ma
gurski been in shape His hip was in
jured and he ran the ball only twice.
But the point Is. the Bears may have
left q lot Of football on the practice
field.
In the third game the Detroit Lions
were content to tie. The night be-
fore the All-Star coaches were wor-
ried over Detroit's passing attack
Yet the Lions threw only two passes,
and these early in the game. The ALL
Stars gained a touchdown and 7-to-0
lead. and the Lions soon tied the
score on Dutch Clark's famous back
flip play more about that in an
other article), and from there on the
Lions played for tie. They took no
chances on the passes the All-Stars
dreaded.
When the All-Stars met the pro-
fessional champion Green Bay Pack
ers last year their opponents. ac-
cording to the All-Stars' head coach,
Gus Dorab, were beaten before the
All-Stars won for the first time:

didn't see this game, but Dorais
gave ME what I believe to be a clear
picture. The Packers appeared tired
when they took the field; they were
overturned, he said.
Dorais ordered his quarterback to
run the Packers from one sideline to
the other, whether the All-Stars
gained yard, and in the end Do
rais' strategy prevailed. A touch
down pass from Baugh to Tinsley set
tied the issue against the fatigued
Packers.
Looking to the All-Star game the
last of this month the Redskins have
begun training with the knowledge
of what has gone before. We expect
to be right physically and mentally
when the game begins.

NEW YORK, Aug. l2.-Joe Louis.
the heavyweight champion. has just
announced he will fight four times
in 1899, and 1t would seem some four
fellows are heading for a ringful of
trouble
Louis will box next in Madison
Square Garden in January, accord
ing to Jacobs plans. Max Baer-"the
new Baer"-is expected to be the op-
position on the Pacific Coast in
April. with June and September bouts
outdoors in New York.
Mike Jacobs. who thinks slightly
more Of Joe than he does of his
right eye. said yesterday the cham
pion would not fight again this year.
Joe is willing, but his managers

one else with beef and temerity enough
to face the champion.
Whether he fights this year or not
Louis is keeping up his reputation
as the "fightingest" champion the
class ever has seen.
Since he won his title he has de-
Tended it against schmeling, Harry
Thomas, Matte Mann and Tommy
Farr. There is no doubt he would like
to fight again this year. He must at
least train, to keep his weight down.

Waivers Asked on Reserve
as FIaherty Sees Ample

The Washington Redskins, blessed
with an abundant crop of backfield
dynamite, today asked waivers on Ed
die Britt, reserve halfback and former
Holy Cross star. who has been with the
defending champions of the National
Professional Football League two
years.
Coach Ray Flaherty wired Britt this
morning not to report for practice
Britt, weighing 205 pounds and stand
ing 6 feet 2 inches skyward, previously
had informed Flaherty he would be a
few days late in reporting due TO ILL
ness.
The 25-year-old Britt saw little
service last year, being relegated to
the bench as such performers as Cliff
Battles. Sammy Baugh. Riley Smith,
Erny Pinckert, Don Irwin and Ed JUS
tice handled the backf1eld jobs ca
pably.
A promising batch OF backfeld tall
ent among his recruits prompted Fla
herty to ask for waivers From such
timber as Jim Abbitt, Rink Bond,
Leroy (Sunshine) Campbell, Red Ed
er, Andy Farkas. Irwin Gilbreath.
George Karamatic, Johnny Spirida.
Dick Tuckey and Jay Turner, the Red
skins are confident Of finding players
to blend with Baugh, Smith, Pinckert,
etc.
Meanwhile the Redskins continued
to pace their conditioning grind to-
ward the heavy labor they must alb
sorb before journeying to Chicago to
meet the College All-Stars August 81.

but not including yesterday, oncial
records revealed them deadlocked with
.35l averages.
Earl Brucker of the AS is the NOM
inal leader but he has played only 81
games as against 90 for Travis and 95
for Foxx. Travis has 1872 hits in 376
times at bat and Foxx has 125 hits in
356 trips to the dish. There is slight
difference otherwise. however, for Foxx
has driven across 100 runs to Travis ~
and has 70 home runs to Cecil's four.
Mats Hit But Don't Win.
The Mats blushingly arrived in town
from New York, where they lost
9-to-6 decision to Lefty Gomez and
Johnny Murphy and blew the series.
They should have swept the Yankee
series after winning the first game,
4 to 2. They had a 1916 lead In the
second but folded and yesterday they
outhit the Yanks, II to 5, and yet lost
again.
A few million words could be written
on the Mats habit of outhitting the
enemy and yet losing. But they neither
would be interesting nor helpful. The
team records say it all when they reveal
the Mats. with 1882 hits, to be league
leaders in this division. The Yankees
have made 1874 less hits and yet,-play-
ing five less games, the champions
have scored 81 more runs and are 151a
games ahead of the fourth-place
Griffs
That game yesterday was extrava-
gantly typical. Lacking clutch hitters
and long-range busters, the Mats
scattered II hits all over the premises.
The Yanks capitalizing on nine bases
on balls. two hit batsmen. and another
bad defensive day for Buddy Lewis,
made only five hits and yet led from
start to finish.
1t isn't necessary to dip into the
details. The Yanks took all the heart
out of the GrifIs in the third inning
when they scored four runs on one
hit. Joe Krakauskas. who started the
Mats throwing, walked . hitter with
one down and then Lewis messed up q
side-retiring double play. After . run
had scored and another walk followed,
Joe DiMagsio hit his 2lst home ry@
the only hit Of the round.
