REDSKINS BATTLE
FOR Jobs IN TILT
Intrasquad Contest Sunday
Billed as Practice, but
Is Sure to Be Fierce.
BY BILL DISMER, Jr.

It's being advertised only as a prac-
tice intrasquad game, but no flercer
football fight may be seen here this
Washington Redskins at each others
throats Sunday afternoon at Ballston.
The stakes are high-aSsured posi-
tions with the National League cham
pionS for the 1888 season. The con-
solations are bitter-relegation to the
ranks Of those who must wait another
year before getting a fling at big-league
football. Something like being put on
relief after being a guest at the White
House.
Slightly broken ineby line scrimmage
yesterday, the Skins were to stage
their first am-to-team combat today,
but Sunday is the day they're eyeing
with mingled feelings Only the II
veterans on the squad can afford to
take it in stride, but under the cir
cumstances they may come in for the
toughest handling.
Real Test for Rockies.
For it's apt to be the showing they
make against the veterans which will
determine the rockies who stick with
the squad. And there's two new men
after every open job which will COM
plete the roster of 80. Altogether "a
rockies are under contract, but Andy
Farkas will not join the champs until
after the Chicago All-Star game, and
Roy Young, the Texas A. and NJ
tackle, will not don the burgundy and
gold until after the Dallas game on
September 5.
The % rockies now with the club,
therefore, are contenders for the II
berths to be filled tthe other two being
held for Farkas and Young. And
if they can win that job by breaking
through Cor up) guys like Edwards or
Barber and throwing such guys like
Baugh and Irwin for losses, they
won't hesitate to do it Sunday.
Wilkin PIeases Flaherty.
Not much chance has been afforded
to rate the newcomers yet, but Coach
Ray Flaherty said he was pleasantly
surprised by the work of Wee Willie
Wilkin, the 245-pound 6-foot-3 tackle.
Regarded something as joke in light
of the circumstances which led to
his signing contract when he realized
he was not boxer and still treated
as something of freak when he re-
ported to camp, Willie has impressed
all with his seriousness and ability
to take it. The former St. Mary's
tackle just about held his own in in
dividual scrimmage against Edwards
and Barber, and when you're holding
that pair of behemoths, you're doing
something.
Clem Stralka, Georgetown's guard
candidate. also showed up WELL as
did Bradley of Elon and Bartos of
North Carolina. But nothing definite
will be decided until after Sundays
game, when the lucky rockies will be
decided.

By RAY FLAHERTY,

Coach, Champion Washington Redskins.
What advantages will the Redskins
have two weeks from tonight, when
they meet football team composed
Of those who were the greatest COL
lege players in the country last year?
Well, there won't be as many as those
I attributed to the All-Stars in yes
terday's article. but there still are
definite benefits which any world
championship professional team would
have and two which we will have in
particular.
As I see it, there are only four ad-
vantages but two of these also were
held by the Bears, Lions and Packers
in previous All-Star games and yet
the pros can show only one victory in
four games. refer to experience and
the inspired playing of rockies who
weren't chosen as All-Stars and will
be out to show up the fans who passed
them up. But even they haven't been
enough to win three of the games
1.-TWO of which ended in ties and the
one which the All-Stars won last
year, so we're not banking on them
to carry us through.
The thing we are banking upon
and we're not denying it's Sammy
Baugh's passing. Any team having
Baugh in the lineup would be foolish
not to use him to the utmost and we
will. There's nothing quite so de-

BALTIMORE. Aug. 1.-THE Mary
land Racing Commission announced
today it would make known Tuesday
its findings in an investigation as to
whether the horse that won the first
race at Pimlico May was ringer"
At hearing yesterday following a
three-month investigation the COM
mission heard assertions-and denials
that another horse, named Uallno,
was substituted for Bye Bye Will. Is
to-1 winner of the 6-furlong race for
maidenS.
DR.. William P. Collins. veterinarian,
testified that Immediately after the
race he examined the horse that ran
as Bye Bye Will He said he later
went to the Cambridge farm Of the
owner, NJ r. Schwartz, examined a
horse pointed out to him as Bye Bye
Will and failed to find any similarity
between the two.
Finds Horses Different.
DR.. Collins added he also went to
Belmont Park, N. Y. and there found
a horse he said was identical with the
Bye Bye Will that won the Pimlico
race. He said Trainer Thomas Malone
told him that horse was named Uallno.
Malone denied Uallno had been sub
stituted for Bye Bye Will. He testi-
fed that on the day of the Pimlico
race Uallno was at Jamaica and that
Jockey Johnny Gilbert had given him
a workout there
The commission then introduced a
statement from Gilbert saying he did
not work Uallno that morning The
statement was relayed to the commits
sion by Steward Marshall Cassidy of
the New York tracks.
Schwartz, like Malone, denied there
had been a substitution, although he
admitted making a substantial wager
on Bye Bye Will to win, place and
show, and had successfully coupled
him in a daily double worth $l99
for 50.

Baugh's Passing Big Hope
Of Redskins II, Battle With
Collegians, Flalterty admits

moralizing to an opposing team which
has just marched the length Of the
field to score touchdown the hard
way as to see pass 60 for counter
acting touchdown on perhaps the next
play. Yet, that's what's liable to
happen with Sammy singing them
the way only Sammy can. We know
that the All-Stars will be out to get"
Sammy out of the ball game II they
can so, naturally, that will put an
extra burden on our players to protect
him.
The only other advantage I see
favoring us is the fact that we will be
the underdog Such hasn't always
been the case in the All-Star game.
Indeed, up until last year the pros
always have been rated as favorites
and who knows but what overcon-
fidence might have kept them from
victory the past two years. Such
will not be the case with the Redskins,
who are as determined group OF
football players as 1 ever have seen.
They know the All-Stars are figuring
on beating them and they know that
the crowd will be against them. but
that's going to make them fight all
the harder.
That, plus Baughs presence, may
give the professionals their first ALL
Star game victory since the Chicago
Bears beat the All-Stars, SO, two
years ago.

certified his eyes were as good as ever.

BY DREW MIDDLETON,

Lou Gehrig has pulled himself out
Of the deepest batting slump Of his
career by changing his stance back
to the old Gehrig style, the despair Of
pitchers and the outfielders' terror for
the last IL seasons.
Once again the iron horse of the
Yankees digs in at the plate, stands
with his right foot q little ahead Of
his left, springs his knees and waves
his bat with the old motion. As a
consequence, he has pulled his average
to over .290, new high for the season:
hoisted his home-run production to ~
and once more become the key man
Of the Yankees offense.
When the Yanks opened the season
the fans noticed Lou had q new stance.
His right foot was over toward FIRST
base. his body half turned toward the
pitcher.
Almost from the start, Lou hit the
skids. When he celebrated his 2,0O0th
consecutive game this spring, he was
q puzzled and angry man.
