Farkas' Limp Signals
For Sub, Knee Not
Injured Again

Andy Farkas' pronounced limp
after tackling Brooklvn's Dean Nc
Adams in the third quarter of yes
terday's game, was only TO signal
Coach Ray Flaherty to get another
man in his place. Farkas said he
felt pinched nerve in his leg which
would slow him up too much on pass
defense and which might prove
costly in the event of a long Dodger
aerial. He was walking all right
after the game.
Bob McChesney's sprained hand
kept him from being his usual bril-
liant self, but if a Dodger had not
been detected clipping on Bill Leck-
onby's 84-yard runback of a kick
off, McCheSney might have been re-
sponsible for saving the game. For
it was the 29-year-old veteran who
knocked Leckonby out of bounds on
Washington's l6-yard line when the
Dodger had gotten past every other

By the Associated Press.


HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 6.-Enormous
Abe Simon of New York hauls his
huge frame through the ropes at
the Hollywood baseball park to-
night to meet Young Turkey Thomp-
son, Los Angeles Negro heavyweight,
in bout billed for 10 rounds.
Big Abe, hoping to mop up on the
21-year-old Turk in campaign
aimed at getting a rematch with
Champion Joe Louis, was a sur
prisingly slight favorite to win.
Simon Has Big Physical Edge.
Thompson hackers believe he can
knock out any one he can hit, and
he should have no difficulty locating
Simon. The New Yorker will weigh
around 255 pounds. and stands 6
feet inches. The Turkey will scale
just under 189. He Is about feet
IL inches tall.
Promoter Tom Gallery said he
expects $4,000 to witness the match

match comes up to anticipation.

by Louis, and while the match was
stopped in the 18th round, he still
was on his feet. He claims he went
into the ring at Madison Square
Garden with his right hand broken
during training.
Now or Never for Thompson.
Since then he's succeeded in bowl
ing over an assortment of unim-
portant heavyweights and bumped
into two bad breaks-an indefinite
postponement of scheduled re-
match with Louis, and the same out
look for match with Buddy Baer.
It's now or never for Thompson
as local drawing card. He knocked
out Buddy Knox in a round in his
last match, but previously dropped
two decisions to Bob Pastor Simon's
stablemate. and was held to draw
by Chicago Tony Music and his
clown style Of boxing.

The Dodgers may have lost the

has been seen in Griffith Stadium.
Clad In Dodger colors of Red
and Silver and led by three
tly-stepping drum major

the more than $4,000 fans with a
series of intricate routines per-

from the 81. At that they quickly
moved to Washington's "a, but Perry

a shadow of his former brilliant self,
allowed McAdams' pass to slither of

The Redskins almost had two
touchdowns Twice shaking loose
from defenders, the veteran wing
back Ed Justice took one of Baugh's
passes in the end zone for an ap-
parent 6-pointer at the end of the
first period, only to have it nulli-
fed when a guard was seen pull
ing out of the Redskin line too
soon. At the start of the third
quarter, Filchock saw Wilbur Moore
open, but his pass caught Moore
yard outside of the end zone.
Considering the heat, the Red
skins line played as well as could
be expected with two guards. Clem
Stralka and Clyde Shugart, stand
ing out. Rookie Ed Cifers distin-
guished himself by snagging several
of Filchock's aerials; another rookie,
Cecil Hare, stopped a Dodger drive
by intercepting one of Leckonby's
passes. and still another freshman,
