Is 10 Shoot for One
Sailor in Sunday
Show al Hall
BY ROD THOMAS,

Virtually every man and woman
taking part will have bought or
sold a bond, it is expected, when all
teams of the Mems and Women's
District Leagues take the drives
Sunday night at Convention Hall
In Washington's greatest bowling
show, to be held in conjunction with
The Stars War Bond bowling cam
paign for a fleet of warplanes.
1t promises to be a gala night all
around, what with every star in
the Metropolitan Washington Area
competing and legion of their
followers present not only to cheer
them on, but to hear from a pair
of heroic war flyers, interviewed
over the mike by VOLS Russ
Hodges, tales of sky battles with
the Japs. The flyers are Comdr.
James A. Thomas OF the Navy and
Capt, Wayne P. Kelly of the ma
rines, both decorated for perform
ances in the South Pacific.
Treat for Pin Folks.
Before the evening is out, Conven-
ton Halls capacious grandstand will
be packed, it is expected. for follow
ers of both District leagues are
numerous and the affair shapes up
as genuine treat for anybody who
likes bowling show.
The women will fire at 7 o'clock
and the men at 9, and during inter-
mission autographed pins will be
auctioned for bonds by Arville l..
Ebersole, chaiman of the National
Bowling Council, who in this manner
has raised countless thousands of
dollars at bowling attractions from
New England to Florida.
He doesn't know it, but sailor on
far-aWay duty will be the most repre-
sented man in Sunday nights show
He is Yeoman, First Glass, Ellis
Annett. Number 13 may be unlucky
for some folk, but it isn't likely to be
for YeOman Annett, for that many
bowlers will be shooting for him
Sunday, and whatever prizes they
win, if any, will 60 to him.
Thirteen to Roll for Yeoman.
It's this way: Purchase or sale of
bond is required for eligibility in
The Star tournament, but any
eligible may declare a proxy. Yeo-
man Annett recently sent his friend,
Raymond L. Harris, $3.50 to be in
vested for him in War Bonds. That
much coin would purchase 13 entries
in The Star tournament with some
to spare. So Harris is enlisting 13
maple warriors to shoot for Annett.
The bonds will be purchased at the
Hall.
Dozens of nonboWlers are pur-
chasing bonds and entering overseas
relatives or friends. The proxies are
easy to find. League scores may be
counted in the tournament and 1t
matters little whose tallies are en-
ployed because a full handicap
system makes opportunity equal for
all participants,

Rubber-SoIed Shoes Big Factor
In Battle of Giants and Skins

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Dec. l7.-"The
team that owns the most basket
ball sneakers is likely to win the
Eastern pro football champion
ship"
Steve Owen, coach of the New
York Giants, was speaking, and
this apparently incongruous state
ment became less involved as Steve
recalled how his Giants had beaten
the Chicago Bears in 1884 by use OF
those very same rubber -soled shoes
With the Polo Grounds surface
frozen solid, Just as it gives every
promise of being for the Eastern
title game with Washington Sunday
basket ball shoes provide the only
good footing.
1t was nine years ago almost to
the date that the Giants and Bears
found themselves sliding all over
the field, with the New Workers
rapidly losing a game because they
couldn't stand up. A hurry call be-
tween halves brought rubber soled
shoes for the Owen-coached eleven
and they proceeded to scamper off
with the title, much to the dismay
Of the cleat-footed Bruins.
The Giants own a few pairs of
sneakers, but Steve had new sup
ply brought down from Manhattan
College for the boys to try on DUR
ing practice yesterday. q
Frank Liebel, the end with the
broken nose, and Charley Avedis-
ian, who suffered a shoulder sep
aration last week. both reported for
practice as Owen uncovered five
new plays for use against the Skins
Washington arrived early for a
change and went into training quar-
ters in the Westchester Country
Club. Coach Dutch Bergman in
dicated that he expects to keep the
Redskins there until game time

General Chairman H. H. Arnold

potential victors to three.

of Evansville, Ind. was in a tie for

Arnold was banking on Byrd's
steadiness and Hamiltons putting

outs faced the Redskins here today
as they settled down in the swanky
surroundings of the Westchester
Country Club for two days of hard
work pointing for the crucial game
of the year Sunday against the New
York Giants.
Anticipating frozen turf at the
Polo Grounds where Sundays game
will start at 205, the Redskins we're
outfitted today with rubber soled
shoes. They may need them instead
of the usual football cleats If the
turf at the Polo Grounds is frozen,
as expected.
New York has gone wild over
Sundays game, and capacity ST.
600 people may witness the third
clash on successive Sundays between
the Indians and Giants.
Will Work Twice Daily.
Coaches Bergman and Edwards
planned two workouts daily with
squad meetings and chalk talks at
might. Two days in advance of the
game that either will crown the
Skins eastern champions or strip
them of their national champion
ship, the starting lineup looms the
same as that which started last Sun
days game in Washington. George
Cafego Is scheduled tosstart at left
half back in place Of Sammy Baugh,
with Frank Seno, former George
Washington University star, filling
in at Wilbur Moore's usual right
half back spot. Moore is here, but is
not in uniform and won't play Sum-
day. Ray Hare will start at the
blocking back spot.
The line, with one exception. will
be the same. Ken Hayden may start
at center in place of George Smith.
and Joe Pasqua will start at tackle
opposite Lou Rymkus, in place Of
Willie Wilkin. Guards will be Steve
Sllvinskl and Clyde Shugart. AS in
last Sundays game Baugh will be
slipped into the lineup when a scor-
ing chance comes up, and frequent
substitutions are in prospect under
present league rules. If the Polo
Grounds turf is frozen, as is likely,
substitutions probably will be used
freely by both teams. Injuries are
more likely on frozen turf.
Used Sneakers in 1887 Victory.
Last time the Redskins used rub
ber soled shoes on frozen turf was
in the 1897 play off game at Chicago,
won by the Skins over the Bears
1921. Sundays starting time con-
forms to New York State laws, which
prohibit a Sunday athletic event
starting before 2 pm, but at that
the game might finish under the
lights. The Polo Grounds high
stands cut off natural light late in
the afternoon in winter.
The Redskins ticket office in
Washington has sold its allotment
of 900 tickets for the Giant game,

BY BURTON HAWKINS,

PHILADELPHIA, June 19.-The
Mats department here today was
delightful. They spanked the Ath-
letics, 6-3. as Alex Carrasquel reg
istered his seventh victory of the
season to sweep 2-game series with
Philadelphia. which thus dropped its
eighth decision in II engagements
with Washington
Carrasquel wasn't around at the
finish. He left the premises in the
seventh inning when the AS were
threatening to produce a rally but
he fingered long enough to receive
credit for the triumph. In five pre-
vious seasons with the Mats Carras-
quel never has obtained more than
seven wins.
Rae Scarborough came in to give
the Mats a neat job of relief pitch
ing but the Mats also were helping
Carrasquel and Scarborough along.
They collected l3 hits off Rockies
Orie ArntZen and Bert KucZynski,
with George Case, Stan Spence and
Bob johnson getting three hits each.
Case wasn't around at the finish
either, incidentally. for he became
involved in an argument with Um-
pire Bill Summers and Case didn't
win. Case didn't relish being called
out on a pick-off play at first base
in the sixth inning. He returned to
the bench and vocalized so vigor-
ously that Summers ordered him out
of the game.
In scattering 10 hits Carrasquel
and Scarborough collaborated in
enabling the Mats to remain within
three games of the league leading
Yankees, who disposed of Boston.
Griffs Get 2-Run Start.
Washington fashioned two runs
in the first inning, with the aid of
Pitcher Arntzen of the AS. Case
opened the engagement with a
sharp single to left and Arntzen
then proceeded to walk Spence and
nick Mickey Vernon with a pitched
ball to fill the bases.
johnson peeked at third strike,
but Jake Early beat out bounder
to First BaSeman Dick Siebert scor-
ing Case. Gerald Priddy flied to
Bobby Estalella in left, but Ellis
Clary walked to force Spence across
before Johnny Sullivan famed.
While Carrasquel blanked the AS,
the Mats moved into a 80 lead in
the third when johnson and Clary
contributed doubles. The Mats
boosted that advantage to SO in the
fourth as Case stole his 17th base of
the season.
