for professional football, three Ma.
tional League games will be played
out of home cities during the
season. Pittsburgh clashes with
Philadelphia in Buffalo's new
municipal stadium; the Chicago
Cardinals meet the Eagles at Erie,
Pa, and Green Bay is booked to
play the Cardinals in Milwaukee.
With the official announcement
of the National League head
quarters comes the long-awaited
news that the Redskin manage
ment has definitely decided on its
training site for fall drills. On
August 10 the club will assemble
for its opening drill at Ballston
Stadium, at Ballston, Va. Last
year the Skins trained at Fair
lawn, a public park. but lacking a
number of important facilities,
was considered far from being an
ideal site.
It was learned today that the
first preview of the Washington
Redskins will take place at Ball
ston Stadium, Sunday, August 81,
when the 1887 regulars will play
the freshmen" in a regulation
game.
IRWIN A HOLDOUT
It was only after many months
of negotiations that General Man
ager Jack Espey of the Redskins
was able to land the spot. Efforts
we're made to hold practice at the
University of Maryland, American
University, Georgetown University,
Arlington Hall and the Congress
sional Country Club, but last
minute reflections baked earlier
decisions.
With the Redskins definitely
settled today as to practice
quarters, Espey now finds a hold
out within his ranks. He is Don
Irwin, former Colgate University
fullback and regular of the team
last year. According to dispatches
from Utica, N. Y, his home town,
Irwin has announced that he has
returned his unsigned contract,
declaring that he has not been
offered enough for the coming sea-
son.
