District GHdiron Squads Face
More Scrimmoging Despite
Tough Drills Yesterday

scrinmage, and plenty Of it, was
the order of the day in most District
college football camps today despite
yesterdays gruelling workouts that
saw the boys hitting for keeps in
lengthy sessions.
At George Washington the work
of Ellis Hall and Henry Agusiewicz,
guards, and of big John Konizewski
at tackle, featured a glittering line
performance. In the backfield 1t
was Scott Gudmundson, the Ogden
CUtah) flash, who set the pace and
whose high stepping brought
smile to Coach p. Bill Reinhart's
deadly serious face.
After week of increasingly
tougher work, the Colonials are be-
ginning TO take shape as football
team, but they're still far from being
the smooth, hard-hitting outfit
Reinhart hopes to send against
Mount st. Marys in the opener.
Lou Falcone, veteran Georgetown
back, was thumbed out of the first
team lineup because of a decidedly
inferior brand of blocking in the
Hoyes' workout. But he figured to
get back in Jack Hagerty's good
graces with another session coming
up and the complexion of the first
team unsettled. Falcone is a much
better player than his performance
indicated.
One of the outstanding line per-
formances was contributed by Frank
Fenwick, the former Gonzaga boy
who isn't even listed on the Hoya
roster this year, who was digging
in and stopping everything that
came his way Fenwick appears to
be headed for big year If he con-
tinues at the pace he set yesterday.

rockies for inspection here today In

Layne, who belted Class A pitch
ing for $50 average. will be with
held from duty until Manager Bucky
Harris determines his proper tnf1eld
niche. Normally second baseman,
Layne was shifted to third base and
shortstop with the Lookouts.
President Clark Griffith describes
Layne as IAN acceptable second
baseman, a fair third baseman and
a horrible shortstop." Harris is anx-
ious for the youngster to break In
at his most promising position, Sc
it is likely Letchas and Layne will
alternate at second base, with the
big Sanford, also a $50 hitter, re-
placing Mickey Vernon at FIRST base
against southpaw pitching.
Washington fans will be pre-
sented preview of what is expected
to develop into a triangular battle
for the Nets' secondbase job in
1912. with Jimmy Bloodworth also
figuring in the scrap. Letchas, who
hit .3O5 with Chattanooga, is rated
a better fielder than Layne.
Sanford is confronted with nc
easv task in ousting Vernon, who
has Wedged into the select 300 swat
ting circle and hammered home
some "a runs, only three less than
the astonishing Cecil Travis has ac-
cumulated. There is a possibility
that Sanford will be shifted to the
outfield providing he impresses with
a bat in his hands.

Leaders Called
To Talk Plans

Redbirds Could Gain
First Place Today;
Keller Injured
BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

The sensation saturated series be-
tween the Brooklyn Dodgers and
the st. Louis Cardinals, even before
it strikes its highest pitch today,
has shattered every possibility OF
deciding the National League race
until the final days of the season.
The two teams are evenly matched.
Neither is great, but both are dead
game and capable of carrying their
neck-and-neck fight right down to
the finish line two weeks from to-
morrow.
In fact, the prospect of tie is so
plausible that President Ford Frick
called meeting with the two club
presidents for today to map plans
for post-season playoff, just to be
prepared.
Whatever chance there was for
an early settlement was wrapped up
in the Dodgers, who attained a two
game lead by capturing the opening
tussle Thursday, ga, in II innings
But the feat of the Cardinals in
crashing back to 4-3 triumph yes
terday quickly ended this sort of
speculation.
The standings now:

Cards Could Gain Lead.

Cards Could Gain Lead.
BY winning today's grand finale
the Cardinals could take over first
place by two percentage points, even
though they only would be tied in
won-lost reckoning. Yet no matter
which team takes this crucial con-
test, the day for clinching the pen
nant is long way of.
If the Dodgers win today and
keep right on winning every game
they play, while the Cardinals lose
every encounter from today on,
Brooklyn still could not clinch the
championship until next Saturday.
If the Cards were to start today
and win all their encounters and the
Dodgers lose every contest, st. Louis
would have to go till a week from
tomorrow to get the clincher.
OF course, neither rival is going
to lose every game and if they both
win on the same days, or lose on the
same days, after parting company
in st. Louis. 1t will be no trick at all
to stretch the struggle right up to
September %, the seasons end.
The Cardinals victory yesterday
was accomplished with great gusto
by the two oldest codgers on the
team, Gus Mancuso, IS, and Estel
Crabtree. 81. Mancuso tripled in
the second to drive in one run and
then scored himself. After two er-
rors by Don Padgett had helped
Brooklyn take the lead with three
runs in the fifth. Crabtree dupli-
Gated Mancuso's performance with a
three-bagger for two runs in the
sixth.
Keller Likely Out of Series.
While this was going on, the New
York Yankees, already installed as
the American League champs
learned that Charley Keller had
Clipped a bone in his ankle and
probably would be lost for the World
Series. His absence did not prevent
them from blasting the Detroit Tig-
ers, 80.
The Boston Red Sox shut out the
st. Louis Browns, to 0, on Joe
Dobson's five-hit hurting, and John
ny Humphries allowed only four as
the Chicago White Sox whipped the
Philadelphia Athletics, 20.
In the other National League en-
gagements the Phillies stopped the
Chicago Cubs, 5-3; Elmer Riddle
pitched and batted the Cincinnati
Reds to an S-4 triumph over the
New oYrk Giants, and the Boston
Braves divided another double
header at Pittsburgh, winning Sc
after the Pirates took the opener
6-3.
