Movement Send Eskimos To Ice
 Carnival in Air

A movement started several days ago to send the All-Eskimo Championship Indoor Baseball team to Fairbanks to participate in the Ice Carnival there, has drawn much attention, but as usual the difficulty of financing has prevented any definite deci- sion being taken as yet.
 A request for the local Cham Der of Commerce to "ante" $2OO into transportation fund, was denied, the Board of Directors believing that the money could be used to better purpose in con- nection with plans now being perfected by the new board, elect ed recently.
 From other sources nearly six hundred dollars could be raised, but the cost of transportation is about Sl1O000.
 Included in the proposition was that the Eskimo team would take along about 5000 in furs and ivory, disposing of it among the people of Fairbanks. While in Fairbanks, Carnival officials said they would arrange for Eskimo dances and athletic features in which Nome Eskimos would star.
 Wires were sent yesterday to Fairbanks by the Nome Kennel Club and the local Chamber of Commerce requesting their assist ance financially in helping to de- fray the cost of transportation.
 At present the situation is still up in the air, interested parties awaiting the final word from Fairbanks before proceeding fur ther.

Ready for World Series?
Yanks, Bucs Are In UNLESS They Haze Sunstroke)

All baseball men are super
stitiOus and Joe Mccarthy, man
ager of the New York Yankees,
as we'll as Pie TraynOr, pilot of
the inspired Pittsburgh Pirates,
are no exceptions.
So you couldn't blame either
of them if they went into tan
trums today at the suggestion
that anyone interested in seeing
the 1888 World Series might just
as well 60 ahead and make reser-
vatiOns at Yankee Stadium,
New York, and Schenley Park,
Pittsburgh.
You never saw a baseball man
ager in your life who liked to
cOncede himself a championship
until it was his beyond all mathe-
matical chance of losing it.
That is why we may be &C
cused of speaking out of turn
today, despite the fact that the
cold figures point to New York
and Pittsburgh.
This being a bit past mid
August and the season having
approximately six weeks to run,
the Pirates and Yankees each
have 81 games ahead of them.
Each having lost seven fewer
games than their closest rivals.

GRIFFS BLOW
FINE CHANCE TO.
CAIN ON RED SOX'
BY FRANK BUCK" O'NEILL

There is something pathetic
about the Nationals. They go
along famously for a while against
opposition of a certain caliber.
They arouse high hopes among
the populace and then, in the
pinches, they fold faster than a
night-club accordion. They blew
a chance. to- gain on the Boston
Red Sox when they lost to the
New York Yankees yesterday be-
fore a crowd of more than 10000
fans. Maybe the attendance
figures were closer to $4,000. In
any event, the covered stands were
filled to overflowing and more
than 1000 braved sunStroke in the
bleacherS.
The Red Sox were worn down
by the Athletics in a game that
tested the durability of adding ma
chimes, and if our boys could have
beaten either Lefty Gomez or
Charles (The RedD Ruffing we'd
be at least half a game nearer the
goal upon which Bucky Harris has
set his late-season hopes.
LEADS WITH ACES
Harris led with his aces. He
could do no more. In the first
game he started Ken Chase. In
the second game he started Joe
KrakauSkas. The latter put up a
fine game for six innings. Then,
almost in the twinkling of an eye,
the blonde Lith lost his stuff.
The ever-reliable Bill Dickey
tripled and scored. DiMaggio hit
home run. Well, it has always
been that way with the Yankees.
They come up with that hit and
that run when they need them.
And winning twice, the Yankees
extended their lead on the Cleve-
land Indians.
The first game was a night
mare. Nothing less. For three
innings Chase went along fairly
we'll, but in the fourth he was
knocked out of the box. He de-
veloped a wild streak, and his de-

AK TO FALL ON
12 skins after.
.INTRA-TEAM TILT.
BY CHICK KENNY

This time next week IL Redskins
will have bitten the dust.
Starting today and for the bal
ance of the week, eliminating
with the all-important intra-squad
regulation game Sunday, Redskin
candidates, vets and rockies start
battling it tooth and nail for
positions on the squad.
Monday night, following the
game, the Redskin board of STRAIT
egy will go over the entire squad
list carefully, to swing the hatchet.
No less than IL players will be
released.
Although the heat has been un.
bearable for rough stuff during
the last few days, the spirit of the
squad is at a high pitch. For it is
in the next few practice drills
that many of the players must
prove their worth.
PAYOFF GAME
The game Sunday will either
clinch a position for each and
every member of the Redskin club,
or else prove the chopping block.
No one knows who will be ten
tered releases.
Five players out of the group of
huskies that represented the Red
skins last season made the grade.
They were Chuck Bond and Bill
Young, tackles; George Smith and
Henry Krause, centers, and Sam
my Baugh, back. OF this group,
Smith is no longer a member of
the squad. He has been placed
on the inactive list due to in
juries sustained last season.
Two members of the squad, aside
from George Smith, have ALREADY
been passed up. They are Ed
HAWAI-, Illinois center, who refuse'i
to come to terms with the manage
ment and was released after two
days of practice. The other was
Halfback Eddie Britt, who had
been a member of the club for the
past two years. Britt was released
outright when he failed to report
to the squad on the opening day
of practice.
ID. C. ACES PROSPECTS
Much interest is centered on
whether or not one or more Of the
District collegians will be retained
as members of the Redskin squad.
This observer is of the opinion
that Jay Turner, the George Wash
ington halfback, may make the
grade, with an outside possibility
that either Joe Anthonavage, OF
Catholic, or Glen Stralka, Of
Georgetown, both guards, may es-
cape the pink slips. But one OF
these two guards is certain to be
released.
In regard to the game: 1t is
billed for the Ballston Stadium at
2::3n D. m. The squad will be evenly
divided, with Coach Ray FlaherUy
leading the "A" contingent and
and Assistant Coach Ray Baker
the "B" outfit. The game will not
be a battle between the vets and
the rockies.
Prices for the fray, which is ex-
pected to be a slight case o.
murder" Is $1.10 for reserved seats
Cbetween the 30-yard lines) and
SIS cents for the general admission.

of the Cubs, the big catcher went
away with his ears ringing.
Wrigley, in brief. assured Gabby
he was happy over the way Gabby
was running the team.
Wrigley said:
II told Gabby he has shown
me that he can be relied upon
to handle the team in every
way. ] assured him that he is
free to dispose of any or all
players on the roster"
That ended a natural uncer-
tainty for Hartnett, who has sent
his team in to victory numerous
times since his ascension to the
Cub helm, but also also has had
to resign himself to a few lost
games.
Also preying on the catcher's

and the latter scaled l34 even.
Thus there was slight change
in the weights of both since last
week, when they hoped on the
scales for an outdoor battle at the
Polo Grounds that was rained out.
Then AmberS weighed in at exact
ly the lightweight limit Of 1876
pounds and Armstrong stopped
the scale hand at 1884.
ARMSTRONG 81 CHOICE
The slight change in the
weights was not held to be
significant and had no bearing on
the betting odds. Armstrong, who
already holds the welter and
feather crowns, remained 13 to 5
and 3 to l favorite to win his
third world championship within
the period of the last 10 months.
The betting on an Armstrong
knockout was 6 to S against the
contrast to an odds on 13 to 10
last week.
Promoter Jacobs said the weeks
postponement had served as a
Stimulant to ticket sales and that
today he already had about
$4,000 in hand. He predicted
gate receipts in excess of $100, 900,
with the conservatives still cling

would gross no more than 100000.
