Meade, Todd Assured
OF Redskin Berths,
Marshall Claims
Owner Also Names Five
Other Rockies He Feels
Will Score as Pros
BY BILL DISMER, Jr.,

SPOKANE, Wash. Aug. 8.-Boldly
predicting in the face of his more
discreetly silent coach, Owner George
Marshall took his second look at
the 1889 Washington Redskins today
and promptly named seven rockies
who cant miss making the grade. "
With University of Maryland's
Jim Meade and Texas A. and NJ. S
Dick Todd his outstanding candi-
dates, Marshall said he would stake
his reputation that Halfbacks Boyd
Morgan of Southern California,
Wilbur Moore of Minnesota and
Jimmy German of Centre, Guard
Steve Slivinski of the University of
Washington and Tackle Dick Far
man of Washington State would be
around after the squad has been
cut to its league quota of 80 players.
Others Good, Too.
Naturally, they're not the only
rockies with chances of sticking" :"
Marshall hastily explained, but I
don't have to see them do another
thing to be convinced that they're
real big leaguers. 1 realize that we
have some awfully good looking
prospects in Bo Russell, our new
tackle from Auburn; Steve Uhrin-
yak, the 215-pound guard from
Franklin and Marshall, and Jimmy
Johnston, the former Washington
State halfback, but I can't give them
immediate approval like I can those
first seven"
In his first exhibition Todd soon
showed why, as a safety man, he
was given few opportunities to get
his hands on the ball from opposing
klckers last year. The 185-pounder,
trinity built along the lines of Cliff
Battles, has fast getaway and a
deceptive running motion that bids
to make him a constant threat on
run-backs. 1t is a fact that T. c. U.
klckers had orders to punt outside
rather than to Todd last year and
that the only time the strategy
failed, mechanically, Todd returned
the ball As yards through a broken
field.
May Fill Prescription.
Morgan, freckled 20O-pounder
who helped the Trojans win the
Rose Bowl game last January, looks
to be exactly what the Redskins need
"a big, tough hombre who gives
and asks no quarter. German, who
scored at least one touchdown a
game last fall, impresses as passer
and kicker, while Moore looks like
he knows how to carry the mail
Slivinski and Farman weigh 215
and should offer great help to the
middle of the line.
Meade, despite his lay-off last
year, already has showed that he
appears ready to take up where he
left off in 1887. Which would be
completely satisfactory. Incidental
ly, Marshall has laid down the law
to Trainer Roy Baker about keep
ing the boys in shape. So serious
is the Tribe chieftain about condi-
ton that he has said he would fire
any man, veteran star or promising
rookie, who takes a drink from now
on.

Big Vote Makes Irish
Coach Tutor of Team

By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Aug. 8.-Head Coach
Elmer Layden and his four ma
tionally-knoWn assistants will begin
drilling their squad of SO college
seniors Saturday for the game with
the New York Giants in Soldier
Field, August 30.
The five coaches and all-star
squad, chosen in a Nation wide vote,
will prepare for the annual charity
game with the pro champions on
the Northwestern University grid
iron in nearby Evanston.
Layden Gets Huge Vote.
Layden's choice as head coach
was announced yesterday after all
votes in the coaches poll had been
tabulated. The famous Notre Dame
tutor polled 5,127,888 points, each
flrst-place vote counting three points
with two for second and one for
third.
His four assistants are Harry
Stuhldreher of Wisconsin, repre-
senting the Big Ten; Carl Snavely
OF Cornell from the East, Bob Ney-
land of Tennessee from the South,
and Edward (Slip) Madigan of St.
Mary's from the Far West.
Aides Lead Section Polls.
Each qualified for spot on the
staff by getting the most points for
their respective sections.
The game usually draws close to
10000 spectators, with proceeds 60
ing to charities designated by the
Chicago Tribune, originator and
sponsor of the game.

Each man had won a set when the
former Junior champion was forced
to abandon play.
The triumph of Sturtevant over
Ritzenberg sustained the popular
thought that Allie had been too
highly regarded in the draw.
Sturtevant, whose tournament play
in the past several years has been
restricted to the Chevy Chase Club,
showed plenty of grit in overcoming
a Al lead in the final set to win,
6-3, As, Ga.
Hayes TrOunces Smith.
Another seeded player bit the dust
when Sam Hayes trounced Alphonso
Smith, iormer Virginia champion,
6-1, IS. The New York school
teacher, who has played little since
winning New England tournaments
two years ago, baffled his opponent
with high-bounding forearm shot.
Had not darkness halted play
Hayes might have helped to score
another upset, this time in the
doubles. Teamed with Stocklinski,
he was the fashiest man on the
court as his side won the first set
against Lynch and johnson with
the loss of one game. The second
set went to the favorites, 1913, after
they had STAYED off a match point.
The entire match will be played
over this afternoon at S, as per
agreement.

FARRELL IS Return Bad
News for Old Line
Ringer Champion
SoftbuII Ace Ambitious
To Regain Rule Over
Stute TwirIers

What looked to be a push-over for
Lee Freshman in defense of the
Southern Maryland title in The
Evening Star horseshoe champion
ships, to be held on the National
Capital Parks courts starting August
21, today became an entirely differ
ent setup with the return of Temple
FARRELL to the game which brought
him distinction in Capital sports.
An ace in softball, being one of
the foremost pitchers and hitters
hereabout, FARRELL has given most of
his athletic attention to the crack
Carr Bros. & Boswell team, but sud-
denly has had a relapse of horse
shoe fever.
1T won't take me long to get back
my game" he said today in an
nouncing he would attempt to regain
the ringer title won from him by
Lee Fleshman. This may be good or
bad news for Fleshman, who likes
stiff competition. With FARRELL ab-
sent, the Southern Maryland section
promised little of it for the husky
Rogers Heights star. With FARRELL
entered, he may get more than he
can handle. Last year FARRELL, a
failure in the Maryland contest
through lack of practice, encoun-
tered Fleshman in the first round
of the metropolitan playoffs and got
him out of there in a hurry.
Jarrell's return is of concern also
to pitchers who aspire to the metro
politan Washington title, one of the
most coveted in the game, the battle
for which annually climaxes The
Star tournament. In peak form
FARRELL is capable of winning it.
The metropolitan championship
now is held by Harry Saunders of
Washington, who, however. is not
champion of the District proper.
That title is held by Irwin Carlberg
Carlberg, by the way, may be
merely dark horse when the tour
nament opens. He has been absent
from the city a large part of the
season and half a dozen or more
pitchers who made only fair show
ings last year have improved
greatly. 1t is understood Carlberg
has kept up his game.
The tournament management to-
day took under advisement the ap-
plications of several ringer stars of
Brunswick, Nd, for entry in the
Maryland section of the tournament.
Brunswick is a little out of the ter
ritory usually embraced by the event.

Mark Early Meet Play

Four of the five seeded players
remaining in the Middle Atlantic
tennis tournament at Edgemoor
were on edge today following the
fate of their cohorts and prepared
to hold tight to the wreck outsiders
are making of the event.
OF those playing in quarter final
tilts this afternoon, all except
Barney Welsh figured to have
plenty of trouble moving along
Even the sterling play of Charley
Sturtevant, who upset eighth seeded
Allie Ritzenberg yesterday, does not
figure to cause the champion any
real concern.
The doubles matches also promise
surprises. The manner in which
the unseeded team of Sam Hayes
and Ray Stocklinski worked against
the No. team of Hugh Lynch and
David johnson before darkness
stopped proceedings showed that
the team division would provide
plenty of thrills.

CHICAGO, Aug. "a bumper
crop of footballs glamour boys of
1888 are ready to swap their college
scrapbooks for little of the profess
sional games folding money.
Dozens Of star players of last
season are in training camps of the
pro elevens now, conditioning them
selves for their debut on the money
circuit. Many of them are the same
boys who last winter and spring
said they wanted no part of the
pro game.
Most of ''big name" players of
the 1888 season have signed, sew
eral after weeks of negotiations with
anxious owners of pro teams. Only
yesterday the Pittsburgh jugger-
naut, Marshall Goldberg, ace back
of Jock Sutherland's last three
Panther teams, got down on the
dotted line for the Chicago Car
dinals of the National League.
Goldberg Near Pay Peak.
The general belief was that
Owner Charles Bidwill will pay the
188-pound runner and blocker be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 for the
1899 season. If any one was signed
for more than that this year it un-
doubtedly was little Davey O'Brien,
