Fons Think He's All Rioht

Durocher hasn't followed the ad-
vice of Dale Carnegie in regard to
winning friends. He even argued
with FriSch while playing under
him. He aroused eXcitable Larry
MacPhail when the latter was the
Dodgers front-office boss and lived
under the constant threat of being
fired at any moment
Branch Hickey, now Brooklyn's
preXy, rearranged the Dodgers card
playing rules and ordered other ad-
Justments before signing Durocher
last season When he signed HIM
for 1914 Rickev didn't seem jubllant,
saying, Il hope Leo can gain con-
troll over his players"
Durocher obviously wouldn't win
popularity prizes if those closely
connected with baseball did the
voting, but with all his antics he
gets results, which is what the
people who pay the freight seem
to want. The fans think he's all
right and what they think is most
important.

Redskins Still Eager
For Ace Back 10 Aid
Starting Quartet
BY WALTER McCALLUM.

Although the Redskins still are in
the market for another proved
broken-field running back, Coach
Bergman has just about become
reconciled to getting along with what
he has. At the same time he has not
given up efforts to strengthen the
Skins running attack, to relieve
Sammy Baugh, who so far this sea-
son has been the most potent touch
down producer with his passing.
Sammy played so minutes against
the tough Cardinals last Sunday.
He hardly can be expected to go the
route during all the seven games to
come.
Bergman doesn't say so in so many
words, but indications are he isn't
completely happy about the bail
handling and defensive strength OF
the Skin second backfeld.
Seno Yet to Deliver.
Although Frank Seno, ex-George
Washington University halfback,
made good run in the exhibition
game the Skins won at Buffalo late
in September he hasn't duplicated
that run in a league game. Frank
is a member of the second back
field. Other members are Quarter
back Coye Dunn, Frank Akins and
Lou Stasica.
II the Skins run up an early score
against Brooklyn next Sunday at
Ebbets Field Bergman may toss in
his second backf1eld. But if the
Dodgers prove as tough as they
showed they could be against the
Bears he may be forced to keep his
starting backfield in for most of the
game.
Free Sub Rule Helps.
The starting backfield is Ray Hare,
quarterback; Sammy Baugh and
Wilbur Moore, halfbacks, and Andy
Farkas. fullback. with Boy Seymour
running from the fullback spot on
defense. Under the free substitu-
ton rule now in effect in pro games
Bergman can shuttle his men around
as he pleases.
He would like to keep the second
stringers in there long enough to
find out what they can do when the
heat is on, but so far he hasn't dared
The Cardinal game could have been
lost by the Skins without the capa-
BILE football savvy of Baugh and
Hare. Bergman's problems, Of
course, are not unusual in the pro
league. Other pro coaches have the
same troubles. So the whole thing
is a tossup. AS it is now the Red
skins have good starting team and
one that probably will win the East
ern championship again. But if a
rash of injuries breaks out among
the first stringers lots of things
might happen.
