Skins Moore, Once Deeoy Now Pros Top Pass Receiver
Baugh, Close Second
As Pitcher, Leads
As Interceptor

BY the Associated Press.
From decoy to demon-that's
Wilbur Moore.
Playing his fifth season for the
Washington Redskins, the former
Minnesota quarterback has been cut
in on Sammy Baugh's hookup to
become the leading pass receiver in
the National Football League.
Moore was just another man in
uniform last year, being used mostly
as decoy, while Baugh snapped his
arm in the direction of Dick Todd
and Bob Masterson. Masterson still
is with Washington, and undoubt-
edly will become another important
battery mate for Baugh, but Todd
has joined the Iowa Seahawks, and
even Slingin' Sammy can't throw
the ball that far.
Under the Notre Dame system,
installed this season by Washing
tons new coach, Arthur Dutch)
Bergman, Moore has blossomed into
keyman, gaining 200 yards in two
games on IL receptions, of which
were good for scores. Only 10 of
the Redskins total of 1877 pitches
last year were taken by Moore. He
had his busiest time in the cham
pionship game against the Chicago
Bears, when he Rugged a Baugh
aerial and scored one of his teams
two winning touchdoWns.
Baugh suddenly has blossomed
out as a pass interceptor, stealing
three and taking top rank in that
department for returning intercept
tlons-a total of Al yards. Sammy's
longest lope with an intercepted
pass was against Brooklyn at Grif-
nth Stadium, where he intercepted
Cafego-heave for % yards.
Eddie Rucinski, the Chicago Car
dinals' pickup from Brooklyn, is
the second best receiver with y
catches for gain of 1873 yards,
while Green Bays Don Hutson,
shown up by Moore last week in the
Indians stunning victory, finds
himself going into receivership with
only nine catches good for al yards
and two markers in four games.
Hutson broke records in 1912.
Luckman, Canadeo Leaders.
The Bears Sid Luckman STAYED
on the passing beam this week with
a total of 38 connections in 68 at
tempts for TIC yards and nine touch
downs. But Baugh in two games
has hit on 20 out of 50 for 357 yards
and seven touchdowns to move into
second place over the Cardinal
rookie, Ronnie Cahill.
Tony Canadeo of Green Bay kept
his ball-carrying honors with 209
rushing yards in "a trips. but Harry
Clark of the Bears closed In with 1873
yards and Phil-Pitt's Johnny Butler
was a step behind with 179, Buffers
average gain of So was tops.
Dean McAdams of Brooklyn has
punted II times and averaged 400
yards to keep his lead, while De-
troit's Harry Hopp, the leagues best
scorer with seven touchdowns, has
booted 81 times to average 37.l.
The forward pass is the grid
games most productive scoring
weapon among the pros. The play
for pay boys have averaged 2.s
touchdowns per game via the aerial
route, with Washington getting nine
scores by air, all of them tossed by
Baugh.
Washington, In two league games,
has scored so points against 7 for
their two oppoents.

COP. DELEGATES
MEETING TONIGHT
Action Expected on Revi-
sion of Several Party
Rules

When the Republican town con-
vention reconvenes tonight at the
Y. M. c. A. 1t will discuss repeal
or revision Of the $25-a-district pri-
mary rule. This group is made up
of about 80 delegates elected in the
city primaries nearly two years ago.
1t is the only organization empoW-
cred to revise the party rules.
Municipal Court Judge T. E. Con-
way, its chairman, reconvened the
convention as the result of an ap-
peal made by the Young Republican
club to repeal this particular rule.
The rule demands that any candi-
date desiring to run in the party
primaries must deposit with the
party treasurer $25 for each of the
80 voting districts in which he runs,
for the purpose of covering the
expense involved In running a pri-
mary.
Republican Town Chairman YER
non L. Hall said recently he was
agreeable to compromise whereby
only SIS per district would be re-
quired. He also said that the town
committe will not try to influence
the convention to vote one way or
another. 1t was revealed, however,
that the Young Republican club
will demand absolute abolition OF
any fees for running in the pri-
maries. Others are opposed to
the reduction of the fee to SIS and
believe the present $25 fete should be
continued.

Allied Force
Dents Sicily
On WideA Area

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
London. July IL - (U.P0-Allied
invasion forces have penetrated IL
to Is miles into Sicily from beach,
heads along a 100-mile stretch of
the southern and eastern coasts,
British military observers said to-
day.
Informants said it now could be
assumed that advance guards of
American. British and Canadian
troops are far enough inland SO
that the landing of reinforcements
of men, tanks and stores may pro-
coed without the interference of
Axis artillery.
Allied control Of air appears COM
plete, it was said, and the past
seven days of air raids apparently
have compelled the Axis to evacu-
ate virtually its entire bomber force
from Sicily.
Though optimistic toward further
operations, informants said the next
two or three days may bring some
anxiety due to the possibility OF
serious counter-attacks by Axis mo-
bile forces still concentrated in the
center of the island.
Counter Attack Expected
The first counter attacks were eX-
pected to develop from the north
and northwest on United States
troops in the Gela-Licata area and
southwark along the east coast from
Catania toward Syracuse.
Anglo-Canadian troops in the
southeast in the Cape Passero area
were believed less vulnerable to at
tack from inland because the high
mountains to the northwest in the
direction OF RaguSa would hamper
Axis mobile forces.
Observers believed the Allies first
would strike north toward Catania
and Messina In an attempt to gain
arm contro, OF the eastern coastline
and cut Oft Sicily from easy REIN
iorcements across Messina Strait
from the Italian mainland
This would have the further ad-
vantage Of giving the Allies a num-
bcr OF good ports such as Syracuse,

landing OF heavy armor, artillery
and supplies for hundreds OF thou
