Redskins Fancy D. {.
As Place 10 Live
In Off Season
Dozen Now Reside Here,
Setting Record, Says
Owner Marshall
By BILL DISMER, Jr.

If George Marshall wanted to put
a complete Redskin team on the
field at Griffith Stadium within an
hours notice today he could sum-
mon more than enough players by
telephone without once indulging in
his favorite pastime of calling long
distance"
In other words, Washington love
for the Redskins has been recipro-
Gated to the extent that no less than
an even dozen Tribesmen now are
living in the Capital. A thirteenth,
Wayne Millner, is due to arrive any
day for the opening of Catholic
University's spring football practice.
According to Marshall, just back
from a California vacation. the
situation is unprecedented. Never
to his knowledge have as many
players of any major professional
sports team established residence in
their teams home city.
Malone, Irwin Start Rush.
Green Bay, long noted for the
civic pride with which it adopts the
Packers by giving them home town
positions, only can boast of 10 of
the champions living in the small
Wisconsin town this winter.
TO End Charley Malone and Half
back Don Irwin go the distinction
of being the deans of the Redskins
who now may be counted among the
Capitals population. Both started
TO live here during the Redskins
first season in Washington in 1887.
Now, however, they have been
joined by 10 others, including Capt.
Turk Edwards and probably the
teams best known stars, Andy Far
kas and Frank Filchock.
All But One Hold Jobs.
Here's the lineup of Redskins you
can reach by dialing your telephone: :
Ends Malone, Bob McChesney and
Bob Masterson; Tackles Edwards
and Bill Young, Guards Glen
Stralka and Clyde Shugart, Center
Mlcky PARKS. lludTterDdck fllcnOck,
Halfbacks Irwin and Jim Meade and
Fullback Farkas.
Malone and Irwin are insurance
statesmen, Edwards sells automobiles,
McChesney peddles cigarette ma
chimes, Stralka sells a soft drink,
Young is in the advertising busi-
ness. Masterson is supervisor of a
service station, Shugart deals in ice
cream, and Farkas and Parks are
connected with the promotion de-
partment of local newspaper
Filchock hasn't accepted any of
several offers yet, and Meade is
back at his alma mater continuing
his studies at the University of
Maryland and helping with lacrosse

Players Close to Weight
When They Report

The thought that the clubs train
longer than necessary isn't new
one with me. But it comes to mind
again as another training season
gets under way and I see the ball
players heading into camps in
Florida.
1 remember the time when play
ers reporting for spring training had
to be boiled out after a winter of
loafing and beer drinking before
they could get down to the actual
baseball practice Not l in 10-to
look at them-had taken even the
mildest exercise since the close of
the last season.
Nowadays such ballplayers are
few. Many players have been here
or in California since last fall. They
have been playing golf or fishing or
swimming. They virtually are down
to playing weight, their bodies are
hardened and tanned. In the North,
other players have hunted, farmed
or kept active through the winter
months.
Last December I went hunting
with Bill Dickey in Arkansas. That
was just the beginning of busy
winter with him. Typical of the
ballplayers in this era, Bill never is
out of shape.

is Adjusting SWING

Their task at the training camp
is to adjust their swings No mat
ter how active they have been
through the winter-flshing golfing,
hunting-no matter how we'll con-
ditioned they may be generally,
they haven't been swinging at a
baseball.
When you hear that the pitchers
are two weeks ahead of the hitters
1t means that the pitchers, with a
two-week jump in training, have
limbered up their arms and that
the hitters have not yet worked the
rust off their arms and shoulders
The hitters see the ball all right
They just can't hit it--for a while.
Some good hitters say that batting
practice during the season doesn't
mean anything. Once they get
their stroke back in the spring they
are set for another campaign.

Little Troinine Needed
To Condition Men

How much work do you think
these fellows need when they get
to the training camp? Two or
three weeks of hitting, running and
throwing would put them in shape
to start the season. AS matter of
fact. that is what happens. They
get in shape in two or three weeks
and then they have to coast through
the long exhibition schedules to
avoid going stale before the bell
rings in mid-April.
The detail of spring training that
Is most important to the players
other than the pitchers is the bat
ting practice. 1t frequently is said
that that is when the batters get
their eyes on the ball again after
the long layoff. That isn't so, al
though it may seem so to the on
locker, seeing the batters topping
the ball, hitting under it or missing
1t altogether when they start prac-
tice and then hitting it solidly as
the practice progresses.
Actually the batters can see the
ball the first day just as clearly as
they could at the end of the last
season-or as they will at any time
during the season just ahead.

AAA Will Assist
In Soil Lining

Pine county farmers will have a
chance to get their soil lined and
have the cost of the lime taken out
of t h cir Agricultural Conservation
checks in the fall of 1941, according
to Chris. Frederiksen of Askov, coun-
ty committeeman who is in charge
of this program.
Mr.. Frederiksen explains that the
Agricultural Adjustment Administra-
ton is calling for bids from truckers
and dealers and any reliable party
interested in bidding on sludge and
mari to be delivered to the farm or
spread on the field The trucker will
receive his pay for the lime within
a few days, and the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration will take the
money out of the farmers check in
the fall.
Bid forms are available at the
county agents office and anyone in
terested in bidding should call there
before November Is, if possible, and
the procedure will be further ex-
planned.
Bids, which will be on a township
basis, will be opened December 2.

bike" Riders In
Traffic Mishaps

Inquiry following the serious in
jury last week of four youthful BIZ
cyclists, riding four abreast at night
on highway near st. Paul, has shown
that 70 cyclists were injured and
two killed in Minnesota during the
last two summer months of the year.
1t also brought an appeal this week
from w. F. Rosenwald, traffic and
safety engineer of the State Highway
department, to both cyclists and mo-
florists for greater caution in traffic
on streets and highways.
Although the two-month repor
showed an alarming number of BIZ
cycle mishaps, Mr.. Rosenwald pointed
out that during the full year 1889
there were 2O3 reported "bike" &C
cidents, in which youths were killed
and 1876 injured.
The four st. Paul boys injured
were riding four abreast, oblivious
to motor vehicle traffic. A motorist
approaching from the rear failed to
see them for the lights on an on
coming car, and crashed into all four
cyclists.
Mr.. Rosenwald appealed to motor
lists to go out of their way if neces-
sary to avoid injuries to cyclists,
but, he added, ''the bicycle rider
has an equal responsibility for obedi-
ence to traffic laws, and for the
exercise of reasonable caution for
his own protection. Cyclists should
always ride in single file on the high
ways, keep to the extreme right-hand
side of the road, and carry headlights
and rear lights or reflectors before
venturing out on streets or highways
at night"

By recent act of congress they are

not so friendly to America.
The agitation against aliens and
alien influences should not be con-
strued as suspicion upon all who are

long ago, when most of the people Of
Minnesota were aliens or the sons Of
aliens. The Swedish, Norwegian and
German people who came to Mimi

have said that we should bring more

NATIONAL DEFENSE.
Duluth Free Press)

According to estimates in the
United States News, this country is
in for the biggest boom in its history
as result of the national defense
program. 1t is estimated that i'm the
next six years the federal government
will spend about SO billion dollars for
defense alone, without counting all the
rest of the enormous expenditures
made by the government.
That this will have a stimulating
effect on industry there can be nc
doubt 1t is probable that almost ev-
cry line of business that has anything
to do with national defense will be
producing to capacity within a
comparatively short time.
Business activity at the present time
is higher than it was in 1929, and
with the enormous expenditures by
the government, it will reach heights
never before seen.
There is little question but that the
spending of these sums will be neceS-
sary. When it comes to making this
country safe from any eventually
from the war in Europe, no stint can
be put on necessary expenses. 1t is one
of the tragedies of the age that such
things should be necessary, fer the
mere expenditure of this amount OF
money will bring this nation into a
new era, that most people find it hard
to believe will be as pleasant to live in
as the old.
The sad thing about it is that while
the country will have boom of long
err or shorter duration, this generation
and the generation to follow, will
never live to see the end of the nat
ional debt to be piled up as result
Of the program. To even partly pay
the bill will require taxes such as this
country has never seen, and the
mounting debt may eventually destroy
the credit of the United States and
force some kind of totalitarian control
on the country.

Be Cautious

The tragedy in the little village of
Sunday evening should drive home
again and again the danger of pour
ing fuel of any kind on smouldering
fire. AS a result of careleSSneSS an
other family and home is shattered.
A tiny baby just brought into this
the fiery furnace caused by the kero-
sene explosion, his mother died from
burns and shock several hours later,
and his father is still in a hospital,
suffering both in body and spirit
from the sudden blow
A new home, just completed the
day before, is only pile of ashes.
Gone too, are the dreams of the
father who erected a dwelling place
for his loved ones who are with him
no more. He had built the home for
happy, little family only to see
them both destroyed.
The same thing happened nearly
two years ago near Bruno when a
farm family of four and their home
were wiped out in fire under SINH
lar circumstances. In this case the
husband and father had gone to the
kitchen to start the morning fire, and
used kerosene which exploded. In
a moment the whole room was aflame,
the mother and two children were
trapped upstairs, and the farmer so
badly injured he died the following
day.
The same thing is happening all
the time in homes all over the cOun-
try where kerosene had been used
to hasten the fire. In many cases
there is only minor puff but when
the fuel is poured on Goals yet warm
there the greatest danger lies. There
will be mass of grayish smoke, and
in some instances even that is not
seen, and then bang! the whole thing
goes off with force which for sheer
destructiveness is hard to equal. What
makes fire caused in this manner
so hard to combat is that flames are
thrown everywhere and on the near
by person.
For every thousand times kerosene
is used to start fire perhaps only
one explosion may occur. Perhaps
the percentage is even higher. In
either case once is enough. The po-
tential danger is always lurking there
and some day the odds may catch up
and another life will pay the price
of careleSSneSS.
