Of Tackles
Worries Redskins;
Ready 10 Trade
Floherty Would Offer
HoIfboeks in Barter;
Russell q Hopeful
BY BILL DISMER. Jr.,
Star Staff CORRESPONDENT.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 2.-Asked
point blank today what he consid-
cred the Redskins biggest need,
Coach Ray Flaherty unhesitatingly
replied: Tackles"
There is no doubt that the Red
skins would negotiate a trade for
one or two of the National Leagues
outstanding tackles if some other
club could be found willing to ex-
change such for a halfback or two.
OF the latter the Redskins have
more than enough and Flaherty
wouldn't hesitate to ship one if an
established tackle could be brought
to the Indians in return. So far,
however. no gestures have been
made along that line.
Indeed. the Indians are probably
the least trading club in the league
as never since they moved to Wash
ington have they exchanged PLAYERS
with another team. But Flaherty
would like to set a precedent now.
OF the five players on the Red
skin roster listed as tackles, it is no
secret that all but one are regarded
as big question marks for the Ma
tional Football League campaign,
just two weeks away. Jim Barber,
who played such consistently fine
ball last season. is the lone excep-
ton. At 81, Barber should have two
or three more years of value, and the
230-pounder stands as one of the
bulwarks of the Redskins line.
It is one of the disappointments
OF the training period that the Red
skins have failed to uncover an ex-
ceptional tackle.
Bo Russell. the lone candidate
who seems sure of sticking, is an
earnest, hard-working young man
and although he weighs as much as
Barber did two years ago, he doesn't
look it. It may be that the Auburn
products line play will prove a pleas
mt surprise, just as did his kicking
lbility, which may produce field goals
a la Riley Smith. But he still has to
prove that he can oper those big
holes to which pro backs arc ac-
customed and stand up under enemy
thrustS directed at him. Frankly,
it doesn't appear he could, although
We hope we're wrong.

The Yankee Clipper" of the

way to fame that may be as last

American history.

ken was some uncertainty as to
Whether he would qualify for the
league batting championship by
getting the minimum 400 times at bat.
When 1t became assured that he
would, there still remained a great
handicap to overcome in the matter
of total runs batted in and homers.
Ted Williams and Jimmy FoXX,
the Boston sluggers who had played
in nearly all the Red Sox games,
had taken over the leadership of
these two departments. They still
hold it. but no longer by insur-
mountable margins.

Reserves Called
As Mats Look
Toward 40
Sally, Piedmont Lads
Will Fill Ranks;
As Here Today

The amateur hour for the WASH
ington ball club has arrived. They're
coming a-running from Charlotte,
Greenville. Springfield and other
points north and south.
President Clark Griffith today
announced that before a week is up
he will have called in fresh REIN
forcements for his staggering Sena-
tors, who returned to the stadium
to play the Philadelphia Athletics
in a two-game series. The Mats re-
turned last night after going
through with their final Western
trip of the season. They won four
out of 10 games.
If there are two things which the
Mats have in abundance they are
second basemen and shortstops.
Notwithstanding, more are on the
way. BY September 6 Griffith ex-
poets to have two more second base
men and another shortstop in uni
form.
Four Due From Greenville.
From the Greenville team OF the
Sally League the Mats will import

ager of the Charlottes of the Pied
mont League. the old gentleman
will call in three more players. They
are Second Baseman Morris Ader-
holt, Pitcher Early Wynn and
Catcher Alfred Evans.
Not counting Jimmy Pofahl. the
shortstop bought by Griff a week ago
for $4,000 Bucky Harris will have
three such infielders at his beck
and call In addition to Rookie
Quick there remain Cecil Travis and
Charley Colbert And when Leip
and Aderholt arrive Bucky will
have even more second basemen.
He already has Jimmy Bloodworth
and Buddy-remember him?-Myer.
Tackle Athletics Today.
1t is more than possible that even
more farm hands will be brought
to Washington before the season is
over. The Piedmont League season
ends next week, except for the teams
in the playoff, which accounts for
why the Charlottes are able to
knock off early. But the Springfield
farm in the Eastern League has a
pennant chance and. if it wins,
there will be some delay about ship
ping down Messrs. Bucky Jacobs
ct al. But they may get here later
in the month or in time for a few
filings.
81. In the meantime the Mats today
opened a brief home stand against
the Athletics. After tomorrow S
game they will entrain for Boston,
but when thev return from this
short jaunt the Griffs will do
virtually all of their playing in the
home park for the rest of the month
and season.
