needed tonic for the Ladies' District

Directors of the league voted to
pay 81 per team to aid the National
Duckpin Bowling Congress in its
drive to sanction all leagues. Officers

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-From the
surprise package the Eastern ALL
Stars unloaded on the New York
Professional Giants proud, unbeaten
exhibition record, the chief "hang-
over" left today was that press

performance as the style Of a

men before a group of 80, ,405 at the
Polo Grounds last night and they
wound up with an impressive 16-to-
victory over the Giants, who
never had been whipped before in
eight tussles with all-star squads
from coast to coast.
Giants Heavy Favorites.
Champions Of the Eastern Division
Of the National League, the Giants
were 1-to-3 favorites to take their
fifth straight. in this series with
the Eastern A1l-Stars for the New
York Herald Tribune's Fresh Air

Sparked by Merlyn Condit, a
southpaw passer from Carnegie
Tech who never came closer to an
An-America team than seeing 1t in
the movies, the Stars scored one
touchdown in the second period, a
field goal In the third and another
six-pointer in the fourth to roll up
their total. Condit produced nine
points, six on 92-yard run.
Tuss McLaughry, Brown coach
and All-Star pilot, had picked this
squad 50 well that most of the few
really headline names on the list,
like Dick Cassiano of Pitt and Bill
Hutchinson of Dartmouth, saw
either only a few brief moments of
action or none at all.

He'll continue to train and practice

He was removed from the active

Irwin has been with the Redskins
since 1886 when he joined the club
after graduating from Colgate.
The Tribesmen were to resume
their 10 o'clock workouts this
morning after finding elbow room
limited in the afternoon at the park
across the river. Approximately 1000

His big dip came when he blew

dip when he finished with an 81 at
Cleveland, after pacing the field
with brilliant golf.
So now he was through. His phys

Tp Coaches Divided Best Of Past Kicking Greats Wish for One Now
Bough Says He'll Quit Redskins
After This Season for Grid
Coaching Job in Southwest

Injuries have hampered Sammy
the past two years, but he seems in
better physical shape for the pend
ing season than he ever has been.
Thus, Marshall's surmise, facetiously
expressed.
If Baugh adheres to his decision
to make this his last year as an ac-
tive player, it would behoove Coach
Ray Flaherty to have his star passer
try to impart a bit OF his unusual
technique to Roy Zimmerman, the
promising rookie quarterback from
San Jose State. For if Baugh's sue
cessor appears anywhere among the
present Redskins, 1t Is In this big,
good-natured kid from the southern
tip of California.
Zimmerman Can Stand Gaff.
Although not possessing Baugh's
extreme wrist motion and uncanny
ability to switch his aim in split
second, Zimmerman throws much
the same kind of a bullet" pass as
Sammy, the ball sailing on a low
trajectory fast and hard to its des-
tlnation. AT 2O5 pounds, Roy nat
urally has bit more stamina than
183-pound Baugh. Like Sammy, he
achieved remarkable passing rec
ord in college, although San Jose
State did not reap the publicity be-
slowed upon Sammy's Texas Chris
tian teams of 1884, '35, and '36. But
Zimmerman had passing efficiency
everage of IS per cent his sophomore
year in school and never failed to
complete less than half the passes
he threw.
Also, like Baugh, a kicker and
quarterback as well as a passer,

Fur Lined Up for Armstrong

well-deserved victory. He looked

ring generalship was superb and of
the form he displayed Izzy would
give Armstrong a busy evening and
possibly outsmart him for the title.
But the cards were stacked
against Jannazzo, it seems, before
the first bell, for at l o'clock this
afternoon Furr will K the articles
of war at Turner's Office. And,
inasmuch as the announcement of
the pen-welding ceremony was
limited before either opponent laced
on the gloves last night, it appears
that a Fur Armstrong bout was a
cut and dried proposition. The
public and press were hamstrung
for a few lines of publicity for last

at Mackert How many goals did

Il don't know, but Villanova won
the game by something like $50"
They must have needed those
field goals badly" Woods observed.
Well, that's all in the past and
the Maryland coaches are concen-
trating on the present and the fu-

They're going to miss Pershing Mon

Sammy Baugh says this is his last
year in professional football. Start
ing on the last season of a 3-year
contract which he signed before
the 1888 campaign for reputedly
$4,000 year, the great passer de-
clared on the way home from Spo-
kane that he was quitting the Red
skins after the present season.
Although not yet able to divulge
the identity of his new employer,
Baugh said he had q coaching CT
fer in the Southwest which he in
tends to accept at the end OF the
1910 grid campaign. Pro footballs
been more than good to him, he
feels, but he sees no reason for not
quitting while the going's good.
The Sweetwater CTexD singer ap-
parently has invested his earnings in
a small ranch and cattle in his ma
tive State, has become quite rodeo
exhibitor in Texas and would rather
stick close to home each fall than
go galivantin' around the country
with the Redskins.
Likely to Have Good Year.
It's funny, but owner George Mar
shall was saying in Spokane just
before the Indians broke camp that
it would be just like Baugh to come
up with a great year, now that his
contract was running out. Marshall
didn't mean to imply that Sammy
ever had failed to give his best, and
he doubted whether he'd ever be as
good again as he was in '37. That
was the year he set new league
passing record and almost single
handedly won the loop champion
ship for his team with a miraculous
exhibition in sub-zero weather in
the playoff game with the Bears

Macdonald Smiths Failure
Seems Due to Hostile Fote

I followed Macdonald Smith for
the better part of 80 years-one of
the great golfers of all time who
never could win one of the three
major crowns-yet golfer better
than most, or at least many, who
did. That always seemed to me one
of the major crimes, directed by
some hostile fate
1t would be just as much of a
crime u Sammy Snead should follow
this same path. In the way of
determination and concentration
he isn't nearly as well equipped as
Bobby Jones, Walter Hagen and
Gene Sarazen happened to be. But
Snead is too fine an artist to be
shut out forever from the promised
land.
I still believe his belated 1910
charge uphill will bring back a big
part of this lost confidence in him.

Golf is an odd game. At least 70

The comeback twins of sport as

Sammy Snead still has to win his
first major engagement in the
United States-U. S. Open or P.

But before leaving home, rather
badly battered and beaten up, the
Yankees at least proved their place
as former champions by winning 20
out Of "a games-by moving up from
the second division into second place.
When crowded and cornered. after
playing most of the summer at a
500 clip, they stepped into an 1893
swing for a full month.
Cleveland or Detroit may stop
them before the wire is reached,
but at least they had enough left to
slip their supporters one of the main
sporting thrills of 1910.
I could sense the change in their
mental attitudes, gathered in from
the dugout, their clubhouse and
their private homes, when Detroit
and Cleveland arrived in order to
absorb six straight defeats. That
