was the first amateur to win the ma

Baseball Scout Johnny Nee gen.
erously disclosed yesterday how three
or four American League clubs can
whale those New York Yankees
next season, but it was just like
telling hungry man if he had
some ham he could have some ham
and eggs-if he had the eggs.
All these other clubs have to do
is beg, borrow or steal a few good
pitchers, declared Nee, veteran ivory
hunter for the world champs.
Then he observed sweetly that
there is the worst dearth of pitch
ing talent in his experience, and
just to make it unanimous-the
Yankees control practically all of
the limited supply.
Unless the other teams are able
to remedy their pitching deflcien-
cies, indications are that the YAM

Land-going sea gulls are annoying
the golfers at East Potomac Park
You've heard of the crow on the
fourteenth hole at Virginia Beach
which feathered its nest with golf
balls until they put in special rule
permitting players to drop ball
without penalty to replace the one
picked up by the crow. You've heard
of golf balls going down gopher
holes, of dogs picking UP the spheres
and running off with them
But East Potomac Park, where a
lot of funny things happen, pops
up with the first genuine yarn of
a sea gull trying to masticate golf
ball.
Gull Must Have Been Hungry.
Mac Phelps, one of the regulars
at the downriver public course,
socked a good tee shot down toward
the green on the second hole at
F course. Down there on the fair
way was a flock of sea gulls, at
tracted by the worms which work
out OF the ground at this time of
year. The pickings along the water
front couldn't have been so good,
for there must have been hundred
gulls roosting on the fiat fairWays.
Mac saw his ball stop rolling, and
saw big gull swoop down on the
sphere and carry it off. Now a
golf ball is tough morsel. The gull
found it out. He carried it a couple
of hundred yards and dropped it
near the eighth green on G course
Mac didn't know just what to do
under the rules until he dug up a
rule about an agency outside the
match interfering and, despite the
rule, he carried his ball back and
dropped it where the gull had origi-
nally picked it up.

District Pros Backs
Have Great Faith in
Strong Forwards
Berlin, Purchased From
Chicords, Handy Man
For Use in Attack
BY BILL DISMER, Jr.

Hardly able to expect much from a
newly-acquired blocking back for a
week at least, it's no secret that the
Redskins are depending upon their
linemen to carry them safely over
the hump In their schedule repre-
sented by the Brooklyn Dodgers on
Sunday.
Still at the 30-player limit with the
purchase of Keith Berlin from the
Chicago Cardinals, simultaneous
with the transfer of the injured Don
Irwin to the inactive list, the Red
skins are insured by the knowledge
that another blocker is available in
an emergency. But there is little
likelihood of Berlim's sufficiently
familiarizing himself with his new
teams system to play three days
hence.
The newcomer weighs 1913 pounds
and stands feet II, and although
used as an end by the Cardinals
was a blocker for Pop Warmers San
Jose State team last year.
But unless both of their lines suf-
fer sudden decentralization, the Red
skins should be able to hold their
own anyway at Brooklyn Sunday
For even with their backfield shot
with injuries, the Dodgers aren't
likely to get far through those In
dian forwards who so far outclassed
Brooklyn's line last month that it
made it appear the Dodgers didn't
belong on the same field with the
Redskins. Statistics showed the
Flatbush eleven gained only Al yards
from scrimmage against the Red
skins 229.
Although appreciative Of all the
support they have gotten "up front
this year, several Redskin backs took
time out today to praise especially
the work of Centers Micky Parks
and Vic Carroll and the year-in,
year-out consistency of Tackle Jim
Barber.
do you realize" one asked, that
despite that slippery ball last Sun
day, neither Parks nor Carroll made
one bad pass all day? And when
you further realize that an mac
curate snap back on any one of a
dozen occasions might have cost us
the ball game, you appreciate the
great work they did Believe me,
that ball was something to control
and that Micky and Vic did it
stamps them as mighty good men to
have in there in tight places"
Barber Steady Player.
'And if you'll reflect on Barber S
work" chimed in another, you'll be
convinced that he's just about the
steadiest player on the ball club
and has been for five years. Per-
sonally, I can't remember ever hav-
ing seen Jim play a bad game He
hasn't got lot of color and conse-
quently his work often is overlooked
but boy, oh boy, he's in there all the
time. He never complains-and !
bet he wouldn't if Ray Flaherty kept
him in the game 60 minutes every
Sunday-and despite his hard play
I don't think he's ever been hurt
although he's played with patched
up cheeks, heavily -taped legs and
multiple bruises"
Judging from the demand for
seats at the Redskin Office and from
railroad officials estimates, it ap-
pears that more fans will follow the
team to Brooklyn Sunday than for
any road game in history, with the
exception of the annual Giant
battles at New York, of course.
Special trains will 60 up both Sat-
urday afternoon and Sunday morn

Terror Of League Finds
His PIoy Reolly Old

Old-timers differ as to who in
vented the sleeper play. Most of
them date it back to 1903 or 1909,
soon after the forward pass was
legalized. 1t probably was a mat
ter of spontaneous generation on
several scattered fronts. The fact
is, hardly trick play in use today
is less than 20 years old.
Playing school football back in
1923, your correspondent partici-
pated in trick play that coach and
players alike thought was brand
new. We fancied it very highly At
a given moment, with the teams
lined up and ready for play

the fullback "a precocious youth

Old Tricks Still Best,
Willy Zuppke Proves
By JOHN LARDNER,
Special Correspondent of The Star,

NEW YORK, Nov, 9 (NANA).-
Fritz Crisler learned his football on
the midway and should know the
snares and pitfalls of that terrain,
but apparently the several years he
spent corroding on the Princeton
campus before he went to Michigan
affected his memory. He forgot
what every young Big Ten coach
should knoW-the peril of that ole
debbil Zuppke.
It's common knowledge in the
Western Conference that you can
not take Illinois as a breather, no
matter how pusillanimous the
Champaign club may look to your
scouts. True, in recent ysars IL
linois has lost four and five ball
games season. Material is sparse,
the academic dons are none too
friendly with the coach, the compe-
tition is terrific and the chances of
an all-winning season are remote.
But can Zuppke still win the one he
wants to win? You said it.
There's reason for this The
eray-thatched painter and philoso-
pher has been coaching football for
35 years. He knows every trick that
ever was coined on a football field.
