FARMINGDALE, N. Y, Aug. 29.-
What team has the best forward
passer in pro football?
What team has the best kicker?
What team has more all-star play
ers than any other?
There's bound to be argument,
especially about passing, but the
answer in each case is the Brook
lyn Dodgers, says the Brooklyn club,
a rough-and-ready. outfit which
isn't afraid to blow it own horn.
The Dodgers have Ace Parker,
one of the outstanding passers if
not the best; Ralph Kercheval, a
great booter, and brakes Pug Man.
ders, Oklahoma's Waddie Young,
Indiana's Bob Haak and Carnegie
Techs Ray Carnelly as their prizes
in the annual National League grab
bag draft.
Nothing Modest About Aim.
Brooklyn has improved the last
two seasons under Coach Potsy
Clark, placing fourth in 1887 and a
close third last year, and is aiming
at least for the Eastern title this
fall.
Led by Parker, a sensation last
year, and Frank (Bruiser) Kinard
215-pound tackle, the best men of
last seasons Dodgers team are back
at work under Coach Clark and his
assistant, George Christensen. There
also are % new players, II acquired
through the draft and 10 who were
captains of their college teams trying
for places in the lineup.
The Dodgers can offer a lot of
facts to back their claim Parker is
the best passer in football. Last
season Ed Danowski of the Giants
completed aerials for total gains of
848 yards, Sammy Baugh of WASH
ington for 1853, and Parker, 865. Dam
owski made the best average on his
tosses, but had eigl' passes inter-
cepted and Baugh IL. Only seven of
Parker's fell into enemy hands.
Carnelly Best of Rockies.
Carnelly, considered best of the
newcomers, is expected to take some
of the backfield burden. He's %
years old, stands feet 2, scales
l95 pounds. And he's fast.
The experts couldn't say enough
nice things about Kinard last sea-
son. Clark claims he has found in
the bruiser his ideal lineman.
Strengthening the line is about the
biggest problem Potsy has to face,
and Haak, 245-pound Indiana boy,
may be a big help there. Even
without him, the Dodger line should
average about 211 pounds.
Another standout forward is Per-
ry Schwartz, 1887 California star.
Handicapped by a broken thumb
most OF last season, Schwartz now
is in perfect shape. Teamed with
Waddie Young, he should give the
Dodgers as fine a set of wingmen
as any league team can muster.
Boyd Brumbaugh, who also was
crippled last year; Beattie Feathers,
Wendell Butcher, Scrapper Farrell
and Bill Reissig are veteran backs.
Star Linemen at Hand.
Luis Mark, center; Harold Hill,
guard; Johnny Golemgeske, Leo Di-
send, tackles; Jim Swell and Ed
Merlin, guards, are experienced line
men with excellent chances of be-
coming regulars.
Clark has worked all summer
planning a new aerial attack. Sc
cret practice is being held here to
perfect the new formations. Potsy
says he won't use his new PLAYS
IN exhibition games, so he must be
serious.

here's a team that any manager

mound, Dizzy Dean, Ed Walsh and

There is team that would go to

hell or high water-made up of
players that would fight to the last
ditch and beyond it for any ball
