haps the actress will sooner than

Weiss May Renew
Army Sports Plea

BY the Associated Press.
A new drive on Capitol Hill for
Army student participation in
football was indicated today by
Representative Samuel A. Weiss,
Republican, of Pennsylvania,
critic of the War Department
ban on varsity sports competi-
tion for its college trainees.
Weiss, a National League foot
ball referee, said he would confer
with interested Congressman
within a few days" to determine
whether the Army again should
be asked to reconsider its ruling.
Pointing to a foot-high stack
of letters on his desk he added:
Most of those came from per-
sons asking me to renew the
fight against this War Depart
ment ruling. They came from
educators, industrialists, war
workers and even Government
officials"
Evening star., 1943-09-15

Stepping up at the start of the
seventh inning, he clouted Beaz-
ley's first pitch into the wide open
spaces, scoring standing up before
the ball came back to home plate.
The ID Army now leads, one game
to none, in the three-game series
for an unofficial Southern service
team championship.
Each team claimed the Army
crown after Camp Wheelers ma
tional semipro baseball cham
pions disbanded. The I'd Army
won a. and lost five in its regular
season, while Oglethorpe took 40
decisions and dropped 10. The
teams met twice previously, each
winning one game.
For Mulcahy, manager of the
ID Army team, it was the 18th
triumph in l6 pitching starts.
Beazley, former st. Louis Cardinal
pitcher on detached service from
the Air Forces, has pitched two
games for Oglethorpe, winning
one and losing one. He allowed
six hits yesterday, and struck out
seven.

Statistics Reveal Flaw

You don't score touchdowns with
out gaining ground And when the
opposition's pass defense practically
Is perfect, as the Bears had 1t llned
up last Sunday, you have to go back
to ground attack, which is what the
Redskins haven't shown this year.
The statistics are bothersome, even
to the most rabid Redskin fan and
boring enough at best, but they tell
the futility of the ground offense.
So far the top mark in yards
gained rushing in three games was
the II yards in 60 minutes against
the Packers, Arrayed against the
big. bad Bears, with such Gorilla
like gents as George Musso and
Bulldog Turner, the Redskins
gained exactly IS yards via ground
attack. Against the College ALI
Stars they looked even worse, al
though that game was played on
slippery turf and there was some
excuse for taking to the air to the
almost total exclusion of ground
plays.
But the point is that in no game
played so far have the Redskins
gained enough ground on foot to
score a touchdown, or move the
ball much more than two-thirds the
length of the field.
That means. of course, that Baugh
becomes Mr.. Redskin, as every one
knew all along he would be. Also
it means that if Sammy comes up
with bad injury or an aggravation
of the injury he sustained at San
Diego. the scoring punch of the
Redskins is gone.

Indians Double Loss
Gives Mats Stronq
Grip on Second
BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

In the absence of anything resem-
bling a pennant race, the major
leagues are Offering the next best
thing-a spirited scramble for sec
ond place in both circuits.
The glamour and gold is not the
same. but the struggle between the
Washington Senators and Cleveland
Indians in the American League and
between the Brooklyn Dodgers and
Cincinnati Reds in the National is
just as torrid as if the stake were
first place.
The Senators, who finished seventh
year ago, earnestly are seeking the
second slot this season and in the
last five days have put on a squirt of
five consecutive victories. This drive,
coupled with a double setback for
Cleveland last night, was enough to
place Washington again in the
American Leagues runner-up spot.
Playing the Boston Red Sox in a
night game, the Senators had their
hands full. but single by Gerry
Priddy in the seventh inning
knocked in the deciding run for a
80 victory.
Browns Snap Tribe Streak.
At st. Louis the Indians, who pre-
viously had won four in row and
six out of seven games. were tumbled
twice by the Browns, 80 and IL, in
twi-night double-header and
dropped back to third place by
game and half.
Steve Sundra held the Tribe to
four hits and Vernon Stephens,
shaking off his slump, hit two home
runs to win the first game. Stephens
also knocked in two runs with a
double in the second game.
The Brooklyn Dodgers, who moved
into second place last week end on
the crest Of winning streak that
numbered ID victories in Is games,
were blanked, 80, by the Boston
Braves and saw their margin over
the idle Cincinnati Reds shaved to
half a game
Barney Loses Tough One.
Rookie Rex Barney suffered his
first loss since joining the Dodgers,
although he pitched four-hit ball. He
subdued all the Braves except Chet
Ross, who drove in one run with
single and two with homer.
