There again was big turnover of
coaching personnel. Clark Shaugh-

NEGRO SPORTS.

Negro sports in the Capital enjoyed
a banner year, lighted by the
Homestead Grays, who again won
the Negro National League baseball
pennant and also the world cham
pionship after a transforming play
of series against the Birmingham
Black Barons. The Bears won the
world pro basket ball title and the
U Street Lions claimed the colored

PRO FOOTBALL.

This afternoons National Football
League playoff game in Chicago
brings to climax a Redskin season
which began July 20, when the
nucleus of the Eastern division
championship team left for the San
Diego training camp. The Red
skins, with Sammy Baugh's magic
passing arm, his alertness on pass
defense and his punting setting
league records, blew hot and cold,
winning six of their first seven
games and tieing one, and then
dropping a game to the Steagles and
two to the New York Giants. In a
playoff game for the Eastern crown
they completely outplayed the
Giants at the Polo Grounds by $50.
For four straight games the Red
skins clicked in title fashion, win
ming successive victories over Brook
lvn, Green Bay, Chicago Cardinals
and Brooklyn, following preseason
exhibition defeats by the college ALL
Stars, the Bears and Packers. Then
they met the Steagles, touted as
the hottest team in the East. The
game at Philadelphia wound up in
tie. Back on the victory trail,
they licked the Detroit Lions and
reached the climax of the season
by downing the Chicago Bears be-
fore Griffith Stadium's largest foot
ball crowd, 21-7. At that point they
begged down. Riddled by injuries,
with Guard Dick Farman out for
the season, and Halfback Wilbur
Moore, a brilliant performer in
other games. also on the injured
list, the Skins slumped until they
needed a win or tie to clinch the
Eastern crown. They we're licked
by the Steagles. 27-14, and went to
New York for the first of two Giant
games. The Giants, with rookie Bill
Paschal leading their charge, whip
ped them, 14-l0, and repeated, 31-7,
the next Sunday at Washington,
knotting the Eastern race.
All Redskin home games were SELL
outs Baugh has had brilliant
year. He won the league passing
championship again, completing 1873
of 239 attempts for 1,754 yards, and
% touchdowns. He also won the
punting title for the fourth year
and set a new interception record
with IL.

Ducks Unlimited, foremost organ
ization in North America specifically
interested in increasing our water
fowl population. answers the per-
sistent query, What is Ducks Un-
limited going to do about the de-
crease in duck shooting along the
Atlantic Coast due to war restric-
tions?" by saying: We're going to
keep on raising more ducks, to chal-
lenge more of our people to hunt
and keep fit, to 60 on believing that
this is q vital work during the war
and forever after"
This organization of sportsmen
has done a swell job in the few
short years of its existence and has
been responsible for large per-
centage of the increase in wild
waterfowl. 1t is reassuring to know
it will continue as usual.
The ninth annual Greater Miami
Fishing Tournament will be held this
winter, with the same regulations
and rules prevailing as in the last
two contests. The Bahama di-
vision is not included, but it again
will play an important role as soon
as the Eastern Defense Command
sees At to allow fishermen access to
these nearby islands. There will
be 80 days of competitive fishing,
with the same long prize list and
the same valuable awards and cita-
tions. Offshore fishing now is
allowed within prescribed areas from
Jacksonville to Key West, but the
beaches continue closed to night
fishing.
The majority of sportsmen know
their hunting dogs do not sweat
like horses and therefore are not
susceptible to colds and pneumonia.
However, a rundown after a day
afield would not be helpful before
putting them in their kennels for
the night. You'll find better help
mate If you do.
It might be that we're unduly
alarmed over the exploitation Of our
natural resources and harp too
much on the subject, but national
organizations are aware of the ex-
tent to which commercial interests
are overrunning the boundary lines
of safety under the guise of war
emergencies.
A war council has been called to
meet shortly in the Department of
Interior to draw up plans to meet
this constantly growing threat. If

PRO BOXING.

Boxing enjoyed an excellent year
financially, although talent generally
was lower with many scrappers in
the services. Promoter Goldie
Ahearn competed for summer busi-
ness by putting on shows at Griffith
Stadium, and the competition be-
tween him and Joe Turner resulted
In better matches. The Jackie
Wilson-Lew Hanbury outdoor fight
drew $11,449 and the Henry Arm
strong-Saverio Turiello indoor bout
had gate of $17,228.
The squabble over Monday dates
was ended with Ahearn and Turner
each being assigned two Mondays a
month by the District Boxing Com
mission. There was one change in
Boxing Commission personnel, with
1t. John Agnew resigning and In
spector Clarence Talley taking his
place.

July Washington was only per-

Washington's first time out of the
second division in seven years.
Manager Bluege did this with

shift. Early Wynn was the only
consistent pitcher. He turned in 18
triumphs. There wasn't 300 hitter
on the club. George Case, who won
the base-stealing championship for
the fifth straight year with 81 thefts,
had .294 average as the teams
best. Case also led the league in
runs scored, with 102, and was sec

Beginning the season, it was Bob

High School Pastimes
Stay Near. Normal
As Many CurtaiI

Nineteen forty-three, second year
Of the war. brought many changes
IN Washington's sports picture.
There were numerous curtailments,
particularly among tho colleges, but
felt all down the line, as athletes
entered the services.
Transportation problems brought
difficulties as did shortages Of equip
ment for many sports. A somber
note was struck by deaths in ac-
ton Of a number of former athletic
figures here as the war was brought
home more and more to Washing
ton, but on the whole there was
more activity and in some cases of
q higher caliber than many had
thought possible.
Biggest sports thrills Of the year
were furnished by the Washing
ton Mats baseball club and the
Redskin pro football team. The
Mats rose from the second divi-
sion for the first time in seven years
and staged great stretch drive in
September to finish as runnersup
to the Yankees in the American
League, while the Redskins today
are defending their National Foot
ball League championship in the
playoff game against the Bears
in Chicago. Attendance figures for
both teams scared.
In year curtailments, high school
sports, although affected greatly by
loss of coaches to the service, kept
closer to normal than any others.
College football disappeared except
at Maryland and basket ball suf-
fered a blow with Georgetown and
George Washington dropping the
sport after their really good teams
of last winter.
American League ice hockey is
gone, golf events were limited and
the caliber of competition was low

swimming, tennis and sandlot ac-
tivities.

former District athletes. Among
these was Johnny Burke, prominent
Georgetown golfer, killed in Africa:
Bill Nealon, captain of the 1910
Georgetown football team, who died
Of wounds received in Sicily; Johnny
Corbett, former Catholic U. track
star, killed in the South Pacific, and

Only Maryland fielded a football
team. Strictly q civilian outfit, the
Old Liners turned in creditable
record Of four wins in nine games.
Maryland, Georgetown and Cath
olic U. played slim baseball sched-
ules in the spring, and the Old
Liners continued with a team all
summer.
Navy barely nosed out Maryland
for the national lacrosse champion
ship. Both lost q lone game, but
Marylands only defeat was a 9-8
setback from the Middies at Annap-

mer were Old Line players elected
to the All-America team.
Led by Joe Hossick, American U.

tennis championship.
Catholic U. and Maryland had
boxing teams and are continuing
the sport this winter. Maryland
entered the Eastern Intercollegiate
but ended in fifth place, with Heavy
weight Len Rodman and Welter-
weight Tom Jones as its aces.
GOLF.
Although all golf associations in
this territory suspended tourna-
ments during 1943, with the excep-
ton of the Women's District Golf
Association, private play continued
heavy. Most of the clubs staged
title tournaments, and links fans
saw few good pro matches, fea-
turing Cliff Spencer, Amateur
Claude Rippy, George Diffenbaugh
and Lew Worsham. The women
ran through a smaller-than-normal
schedule. There were no sectional
events and the women also aban-
doned their District championship.
