1857 - Disastrous financial panic
breaks over country.
Evening star., 1938-01-13

The Redskins did not make much
use Of Dixie Howell during the Ma
tional League campaign. To begin
with, Dixie was out OF football for
year and the Skins had Sammy Baugh
and knew what Baugh could do.
Fz-" Flahrty, conservatiyely and
probably wisely, played Baugh
and kept Howell ON the bench.
But the fact that Dixie was on the
pay roll, while playing only an amaz-
ingly limited number of minutes, in
dicated that Flaherty had plans for
the little fellow who was the 1885
Rose Bowl hero The idea was to
shape up Dixie to alternate in 1888
with Baugh.
At long last the blanket will be
taken off Howell here next Sunday
and again in the other two Redskins
games In addition to that Houston
date, you see. they will play the Bears
at Dallas.
For an overwhelming majority of
people football is dead, but for Ray
Flaherty this is an interesting period
of the year, if only on account Of
Howell. What happens when Dixie
is turned loose may throw some light
on whether Washington will retain
the title this year.
Falaschi Bites at Hook.
A YEAR ago the Redskins drew
Quarterback Nello Falaschi of
Santa Clara in the draft. When
Owner George P. Marshall tried to
sign Falaschi for 1887 he was in
formed that Mrs. Falaschi's boy wasn't
interested in pro football
1t develops now that Nello wasn't
sure. Anyway, he turned up here on
the all-stars' side, and Mr.. Flaherty
blew a fuse when he heard the news
After protesting to Blood, he
agreed to allow Falaschi to play
Sunday.
The Redskins still hold an option
on the Santa Clara star and maybe
it's just as we'll that he's playing
with the enemy. In that way Flaherty
will be able to get line on Nello.
If Falaschi looks good the Redskins
probably will take him to Dallas and
Houston. The Washingtons hold the
upper hand in this matter. They al
ready have plenty of fine backfield
men, and if Falaschi and Blood are
close, Flaherty has his choice of either
keeping the hard-running back or
making a deal for him with the
Pirates. The Skins could use a good
lineman or two.

Enrico's share Of the purse was held
up pending an investigation of why he
nestled against the canvas and per-
mitted himself to be counted out
toward the last of the sixth round,
when he obviously was able to remain
on his pins.
Further. he was under a months
suspension in New York State because
he had weighed in for the bout 3
pounds over the stipulated limit Of 1875
pounds. Things. in fact. looked very
dark for Venturis fistic future.
His plight was matched only by the
10000 fans who paid their way into
the Garden to see him fight Arm
strong. and who wound up watching
the italian give his own version Of
the dying swan. They, the customers,
really took a lacing.
Ventura, after having tried vainly
for five and fraction rounds to stay
clear OF Armstrong; homicidal swings,
suddenly notified Referee Arthur Dom
oVan that he had been fouled. Dono-
van looked appropriately blank, though
some OF the ringsiders had noted that

So far in those all-star games at
