Somebody throw Dan Ahern a

ball coach figures he needs one badly
after watching 80 hopefuls 70
through their initial workout yes

Well fortified with veteran backs,
Ahern sees little future for his Red
Raiders until forward wall takes

the grid mentor would ask.
Blessed with several ball toters
from last years team, Ahern will
rely on Jake Hilleary and George
Barnes, triple-threaters; Eddie Ig-
lesias, capable quarterback Ray
Wrenn, passing star, and Roddy
Snow and Buck Herrlein, blockers,
for any success his team has this
fall.
Beyond these players Ahern can't
begin to list starting lineup.

hosiery to steel, with railroad, beer,
department store, automobile and

more than 400 players on "a teams.
Beer will be the theme Saturday

Charley Moutenot turned out un-

punting drills. The Frenchman
seemed to be in superb physical con-
dition, and since he is the key man
in Bergman's offensive plans, the
Dutchman hopes to keep him that
way. Johnny Fiorellino, Carmen
Pirro and Nick Sarelas were others
who appeared ready.
Whether Indian Joe Guyon will
be up to par this fall remains to

Spirida Of Redskins

For Two Weeks
Krouse and Barber Also
SheIved, but Johnston
and Meade Are Ready
BY BILL DISMER. Jr,
Star Stan Correspondent.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. Mex, Sept.
6.-Pasued here for q six-hour stop
over, during which they were to take
the first OF two workouts during
their cross-country trek to Boston,
the Redskins took stock of their
physical condition today and found
the general situation not quite as
encouraging as it was "a hours be-
fore.
Missing from the practice field
were three players-Halfback Max
Krause, Tackle Jim Barber and End
Johnny Spirida-all victims of mi
nor injuries in the winning stand
against the Los Angeles Bulldogs
Splrida and Krause each had q knee
twisted, while Barber received a
nasty cash on the chin, stitches in
which were rendered unnecessary by
a neat piece of emergency repair
work by Trainer Roy Baker.
Spirida's injury is the most serious
for he probably will be hors de
combat for two weeks or more. Bar
ber likely will be kept out Of the
Boston game so as not to risk re-
opening the wound, but Krause
should be available for duty.
Two other newer Redskins, how
ever. romped through the drill with
above average enthusiasm, both
eagerly awaiting their first baptism
under fire.
Maryland's Jim Meade, heading
East with a special fabric brace
which fits inside his helmet to pro-
tect his remade cheekbone, is to
DO his first running, punting and
blocking as professional, while
Jimmy Johnston, the University of
Washington recruit, likewise is
ready.
Johnston. incidentally, is be-
heved to have set some kind of rec
ord for travelling to play football
without having capitalized on a sin
gle one OF three opportunities. The
good-looking blond left the Red
skins in Spokane to represent the
Huskies in the all-star game at
Chicago only to sprain his ankle
and become unable to play. He re-
turned to the coast, rejoining the
Redskins in Los Angeles, and is re-
tracing his steps to Chicago and be-
yond to Boston before breaking into
his first football game of 1899.
Dick Todd, who scored one of the
Texas All-Stars' three touchdowns
against the Green Bay Packers, is
slated to rejoin the Indians tonight

BY ROBERT HENRY,

The Warrenton horse show proved
that Rocksie is q real high jumping
champion and that Smacko has pos
sibilities for becoming an Olympic
performer. Both have come in for
undue criticism during the last year
but they continue to score when the
chips are down.
When Margaret Cotter's pride and
Joy won a 6-foot class at the Knights
Of Columbus show last fall it was
said he had outjumped himself and
that he never would repeat the trick.
Last June he improved that mark by
3 inches when he beat a number of
topnotchers in the Washington
show However, the belittlers point
ed out he made the leap over slant
ing barriers.
Since then one or two out-of town
horses were reported to have come
close to 6 feet, and that If they got
crack at the 9-year-old bay they
would take him, particularly over
straight up and down bars. Now,
having beat them at their preferred
game Rocksie has proved to all that
he's the boss OF the skyscraper divi-
sion, for there certainly was moth
ing fluky about his victory Monday.
Smacko JoIts Critics.
The case Of Smacko shows that no
horse should be taken lightly simply
because he was unknown when up
setting several highly regarded COM
petitors. Last winter Smacko, which
was jumper champion at Warrenton
over many of the best, won the
jumper crown at the Fort Myer
show, much to the amazement of
the experts.
At that time the Army horse was
green as grass and outsiders Won
dered about him. The opinion was
that he would prove a flash in the
pan and would get nowhere when
pitted bit higher. His record since,
while not sensational, has been good
and people are wondering Just how
far he'll go.
Capt. Charles McClelland Of Fort
Myer was telling us about the horse
the other day. 1t seems Smacko is
by McDonough, a noted sire Of top
show horses, and came to the Vir-
ginia post about two years ago.
Handed to Capt McClelland to
train he displayed a little ability
and lots of heart.
Since then the horse, now q =
year-old, has done we'll in each Of
the five shows he's entered, despite
the fact that for a month preceding
the Warrenton meet he went
through all the gruelling maneuvers
staged by the Army below Occoquan.
McClelland compares Smacko to
the famous Dakotah, huge Army
horse that for the last few years has
performed so well with the Olympic
team in this country and abroad
and become a Washington favorite
through his steady round in the in
ter-American show. McClelland
sees Smacko following in Dakotah's S
footsteps.
1nky, the grand hunter cham
pion at Warrenton. is reported for
sale. Purchased by Mr.. and Mrs.
George Watts Hill three years ago as
a steeplechase prospect, the 5-year-
old daughter of Apprehension from
a Light Brigade mare never went
to the post, but was trained for the
show ring instead. In her first sea-
son last year she won the hunter
championships at Hot Springs and
Keswick, and this year won one
championship and two reserves be-
fore her Warrenton triumph.
