MILWAUKEE,. Wis. Sept. 2.-The
first real tipof as to how the Red
skins stack up at this stage of the
game was to be provided here at
State Fair Park this afternoon,
when the Indians, tested only in
two intrasquad games, meet the
world champion Green Bay Pack
ers, fresh from the most decisive
victory a professional football team
ever handed the college All-Stars
in the annual Chicago classic.
Although 1t was a mere exhibit
ton between two National League
teams not scheduled to meet during
the regular campaign, q near-ca-
pacity crowd of $4,000 was expected
to turn out in an attempt to get
the lowdown on each.
And despite the insistency Of both
Coaches Ray Flaherty and Curly
Lambeau that they were more con-
cerned with the performances Of
rockies than they were in winning,
there was no doubt that each was
out for the others scalp. Specific
indication of this was Lambeau's
reply to certain Packers who asked
him for a night off after walloping
the All-Stars Thursday night.
Veterans to Start.
Even though you won you had a
little trouble with Washington
Kenny, didn't your" asked Curly
"Well, you're going to have to face
a lot of Washington Monday after
noon and we've got to be prepared"
Flaherty, Of course, knows the ire
mendous amount of confidence a
victory over the champions would
give to his Redskins, and for that
reason will leave no stone unturned
in an effort to win. That is one
reason why he is starting an all
veteran lineup and why rockies will
be inserted only gradually as the
game progresses.
Because the champions are not
an especially good defensive team,
but pack plenty Of scoring punch
via the Hutson-from- anybody pass
ing combination and because the
Redskins were one of the greatest
scoring machines in the loop last
year, a wide-open, all-the-way bat
tie for points was foreseen. In the
face of this, even Owner George
Marshall, fast becoming noted for
the accuracy of his representations,
took refuge behind the somewhat
trite, but safe statement: 1.-THE
team that gets the breaks will win. -
To Dick Todd and Wilbur Moore
was to be entrusted the responsible
ity Of checking Hutson, for they

Mats have been stymied with four
hits, while on another occasion
they were appeased with three.
They were seeking to improve on
that record today against Boston in
a twin bill, with Ken Chase and Sid
Hudson slated to pitch for the Mats.
Washington enjoys an off day to-
morrow before tackling the Yankees
in another double-header here
Wednesday.
Washington at least remained
consistent in dropping 80 and 80
decisions to the Yankees yesterday
at New York. The Mats still haven't
won a game at Yankee Stadium this
season after eight efforts and in
Is tits with New York the Mats
have won only two. The club is con-
tributing its part toward making the
pennant race as tight as new
girdle.
Chubby Dutch Leonard was in a
surly mood after dropping that 80
opener to the Yankees, as well he
might be. Dutch pitched a brilliant
game after a shaky start, but sue
ceeded only in absorbing another
defeat by a margin of one run be-
cause his mates couldn't fathom the
offerings of Red Ruling to any ap-
preciable degree.
Ernie Bonham throttled the Mats
with four hits in the 80 nightcap,
twice delayed by rain. Only six
Mats reached base and only one
advanced as far as third, but the
fine pitching of Walter Masterson
at least made a contest of it all
the way.

By BURTON HAWKINS.

II big Jack Sanford has designs
on inheriting Washington's still wide
open flrst-base duties 1t might be
prudent for the rookie to increase
his batting average to more robust
proportions in something of a
hurry. Thus far he has served only
to boost the stock of willowy Jim
Vernon, the youngster with whom
he is supposed to wage bitter battle
for the job next season.
Sanford, in nine games with the
Mats, has discovered a startling vari-
ance in caliber of Piedmont League
and American League pitching. As
Washington entered its double
header with the Red Sox today at
Grifnth Stadium, Jack was hitting q
meager 100 and hadn't obtained q
hit in Is consecutive trips to the
plate.
A tall, powerful youngster, San
ford owns q batting stroke which is
relished by Manager Bucky Harris.
1t may be q matter of waiting for
him to catch up with the leagues
pitching, but it seems he is riding a
slow freight in that direction. That
is reflected, in a measure, by the
fact he has driven only two balls
beyond the infleld in his last IA
efforts.
There has been little complaining
concerning Sanfords fielding. but
the ight-hitting Mats currently are
interested in power and Jack has
supplied none. Since the woods are
crammed with fine-fielding, nom
hitting first basemen, it is imper-
alive Sanford launch q one-man
clouting crusade to preserve his hope
he will be taken seriously when
spring training time rolls around.
Vernon, meanwhile. isn't doing too
nobly with Jersey City in the Inter-
national League. The slender lad, q
prohibitive favorite to be graduated
to regular role with the Mats next
season when he was batting $50
or so earlier In the year, now has
slumped of to disturbing .287.
Jack in Crowded Doghouse.
It's simmered down to a situation
that isn't bright by any stretch of
the imagination. If Sanford can hit
major league pitching he'd better
start presenting evidence to the Nat
bosses. If Vernon can't damage
International League pitchers he
isn't calculated to improve with
graduation. II neither justihes hopes
the Mats will be stuck without an
adequate first baseman for another
season.
Sanford has the dubious conso-
lation Of having considerable COM
pany in his weak batting display, for
the Mats have produced only eight
runs in their last six games, all Of
which, incidentally, have been lost.
