Defense of Sneod Funny"
Donaldson Claims

What do you mean about Hagen,
Sarazen and j. H. Taylor being
svingers? They certainly were not
swingers, but decided hitters. And
if you are writing on the subject of
sWingers, how can you possibly over
look Byron Nelson who, personally
think, is a much better SWinger, and
decidedly better grooved, than Snead
has been in the last two years.
In comparing Snead with Vardon
you are comparing a man who can
be extremely wild with one who was
very rarely off the pin. If Snead
has the dream swing you claim
this could hardly happen.
ITO the layman your article might
appeal. but to some one like myself
who knows little about it, 1t is
really funny

Hagerty Today Looks
AT New Wing Team
OF Pavich, Lemke
G. U. Serimmuees Navy
In Secret Workout;
Terps Bury Mounts

That sCrimmage between George
town and Navy at Annapolis this
afternoon was to be strictly pri-
vate party. with admission by invi-
tation only.
Jack Hagerty, Hoya coach. took
36 players to Crabtown, leaving be-
hind six casuals who will have a
week end of rest. Mark Ostin2to
a guard, was the only regular III this
group. Others were Ken McNicol
Al Kull. Walter O'Connell, Oscar
Hart and Ken Engels
Two important changes were
made in the District eleven's start
ing lineup. both at end, where
Chris Pavich and Art Lemke were
to get the call. AS a freshman
Pavich showed signs Of blossoming
into a star and Lemke has gone
like a WhlrlWind in practice. One
wing position is open because OF
Bob Kerchers departure but Mike
Kopcik, kicking star, still is around
to man the other.
Joe Daniels, giant tackle who gave
a brilliant exhibition Of punting the
other dav. kicking one 70 yards, will
have chance to prove his claim to
the regular role this afternoon
Hagerty hopes Daniels shows
enough speed in getting his kicks
away under fire to win the assign
ment, as he is the most powerful
punter on the squad.
Maryland'S workout with Mount
St. Mary's at College Park was any,
thing but work for Jack Faber's
men, as they romped over the
Mountaineers Harold Berry's To-
yard run to the goal line and Jack
Mier's 55-yard gallop. both with in-
tercepted aerials, featured the drill
Ray Trelecki scored twice for the
Terps and Don Shockey and Joe
Murphy counted once each.
1t was not an encouraging session
for Jim Draper, Washington resi-
dent and Western Maryland alum
nus, who handles the Mounts. It
plainly showed he has much back
breaking labor ahead to mold the
upstate crew into a formidable
machine.

5000 Seats Remain
With No Standinq
Room on Sale
Tribe 7-to-5 Fuvorites:
Fair Weather, IdeoI
Setting Promised
BY BILL DISMER, Jr,

Prospects of complete sell-out
of Griffith Stadium for Washing
tons annual "grudge" game between
the Redskins and the Giants to-
morrow appeared likely today with
the last supply of tickets vanishing
like a government clerks salary on
pay day
With less than 5000 seats left as
the box office opened this morning
and the Redskins firm in their de-
termination not to sell an inch of
standing room for any more games
this season, fans without the paste
boards decidedly were out of luck.
Thus, for the first time in the his
tory of local football, it appeared
that the last ticket of admission
would be sold before the day of the
game.
Even without standing room avail
able, it was reckoned that more
than $4,000 fans-a record for cash
customers IN the Nations Capital
would see the game, enlarged
Centerfield stands and temporary
bleachers behind the east goal off,
setting the indefinite number OF
standing room admissions lost.
Redskins General FavOriteS.
Both sentimentally and profess
Sionally. the Redskins still rule the
favoriteS-the first Overwhelmingly
and the second by as much as T-5.
Those wagering at even money were
inclined to spot the Giants touch
down. Reports of a Giant squad
inferior to those which won the
world championship in 1888 and the
Eastern title in 80. coupled with the
notion that the current Redskins
are the best Washington has seen.
are the prevailing factors influenc-
ing local bettors.
The Redskins are favored in an
other manner in that it will be their
last game until October 6 lthey draw
an of day next Sunday. while the
Giants must hold something back
for a clash week from tonight with
Davey OBrien and his much-im-
proved Philadelphia Eagles. It's
difficult. however. TO imagine the
New Workers holding anything back
in a game with the Marshallmen.
Fair Weather Predicted.
Predictions of continued fair
weather also are to the Redskins
liking, as not since 1888 have the
two teams come to grips without
something preventing an ideal set
ting. A year ago here. the game
was played in mud and although the
Redskins outplayed the Giants from
beginning to end, there was no score.
Last December. the Redskins in
Vaded New York with wholesale in
luries. such key men as Sammy
Baugh, Andy Farkas. Charley Ma
lone and Turk Edwards being in
CapaCitated in one way or another
Even so. the Redskins held the
Giants without touchdown, three
field goals beating them, 81 To-
morrow all except Farkas will be
ready to go, and because they are,
the Redskins are confident that
nothing can prevent what circum-
stances forestalled in 80.
Once again. Coach Ray Flaherty
plans to start his all-veteran lineup
with Baugh. Jimmy Johnston, Max
Krause and Ed Justice in the back
field and Malone. Millner. Edwards
Barber. Farman, Slivinski and Car
roll in the line. The Filchock Todd
team will replace this aggregation
at the start of the second quarter
with the chances of rockies playing
depending upon the trend of the
game.

elancns at five PAGES after Babich
crashed with enthusiasm into a

ductive mood.

Reds Mission to Win
Honest World Series
By JOHN LARDNER,


NEW YORK. Sept. 81 CN.AN.A).
The Cincinnati Reds have a mis-
sion-to win an honest World
Series for the first time. They have
played in one very honest World
Series, and lost it, four games to
love. They have played in one
very larcenous World Series, and
won it. five games to three. in spite
of themselves.
In other words, the Redlegs would
like to achieve a series victory which
will not explode in their teeth a
year later as happened when Eddie
CiCotte slouched into court in Sep
tember Of 1920 and testified that the
only reason Cincinnati won in 1919
was because of his-Eddie's e's-Tife
and kiddles.
Much has been said and written
of the damage the 1919 scandal did
TO CIcotte and Joe Jackson and
Buck Weaver and Lefty Williams
and the other Black SoX. but In
justice TO the Reds of that year,
1t should be remembered that the
thing was very hard on them too.

thanks in part to the absent
minded outflelding of Jackson and
Felsch.
1t was good team, but not good
enough to beat the great Chicago
team without the help of the Sox
themselves. The Reds of 1910 will
have nothing as tough as those

Sneod's Swing Is Roted
Best by Jones
Here is the reply:

Here is the reply:
I know Of few golfers who swing

aldson) do-or few who know as
much about the old game. But I
can't agree with YOU about Sammy
Snead. You say he has loop in his
swing? SO cid Bobby Jones. Do you
know better SWinger?
Yet only a few days ago Bobby
Jones told me that in his opinion
Snead had the best all-around swing
with every club that he had ever
seen-and Bob played with Vardon
as far back as 1920. Bobby Jones
was referring to the physical make
up Of Snead's swing, not 10 his men
tai attitude in championship.
Sread gets amazing results with
little show of effort. Of extra ef-
fort. Snead's downfall never has
been due to any fault in his swing
only to his inability to concentrate
only to his mental attitude. which
as YOU know is 20 per cent of golf.
I've seen Harry Vardon play many,
many times. One of the all-time
greatest. If Harry only could have
known how to putt-yet his swing
lacked Sneads tremendous power.

Snead can't.
Yet remember this-in his last
four big tournaments, Snead has
won three and reached the final
hole against Nelson in the last

in a single year than any man in
golf. He has lacked confidence in
himself. but his weakness has been
