towns most earnest fishermen. will de-
fend his District all-around bait and
fly casting championship and three
other titles Sunday at the Lincoln Me-

recognized as one Of Washington's

like, retain the same seats they hold
for the current league season. Fur
ther than that Espey would not dis
cuss details of any possibility Of a
title game here.
There's Finish to Recall.
1t remains a fact, however, that not
in either 1885 or 81 had the Red
skins gone undefeated in their first
three games. and they went on to win
the Eastern championship in each year
With two victories and q tie to show
for their standings to date and indica-
tions that neither the Giants nor
Pirates are as tough as they were
feared to be before the season started,
the outlook is bright, to say the least,
for the play-oh at Griffith Stadium

No more concrete expression Of faith
In the ability Of the Washington Red

Of a letter lying today on the desk
Of Business Manager Jack Espey.
II don't see how the Redskins can

The writer was Daniel J. Harris, 23-
year-old employe of the General Ac-

tickets be sent to him at his home,
1919 Harrison street NV.
Harris Is not season ticket holder
this year as he was last, but there is a
reason. He was out Of town last winter
when reservations first began to be
taken and when he returned home the
seat locations he wanted were gone.
But he hasn't missed a single home

In addition to stating that general

Espey and other Redskin officials hope
that the local. public won't follow
Harris example. for a while.
1t seems that there still is at, adage
about mot counting chickens" ETC.,
etc, and the end of the season Is
more than two months away. Between

skins play their last league game In

1t would be better to show q majority
Of victories than the row Of question
