Coach Bergman Likely
Successor 10 Espey
As Skins Manager
Shifting to UIine Post,
Former Grid Club Boss
Hos Ambitious Plans

Arthur J. CDutch Bergman, re-
Gently signed head coach Of the
Redskin pro gridmen, probably will
step into the breach and take over
the general managers duties until
George Marshall finds a new man
to replace Jack Espey, who has re-
signed to accept the post of general
manager of Uline Arena.
Bergman. director OF athletics at
Catholic University before going to
the RFC, has had wide experience
in the business as well as coaching
end of football and could carry on
until permanent arrangements were
made.
1t was bruited about that Gabe
Murphy, an intimate of Marshans,
might get the post, but to those
acquainted with the situation it
did not seem probable that Murphy
would leave his insurance business
to return to sports. He formerly
was graduate manager of athletics
at Georgetown.
Broad Plans for Uline's.
Sid Carroll, Espey's assistant.
scratched himself from the list Of
possible appointees today with the
laconic observation that he's Ia
in the draft and even now is enjoy
ing only a temporary deferment.
Espey, involved in local sports
since his freshman year at Central
High School, when he was employed
by newspaper during vacations,
has large plans for Uline's, a place
gradually getting the reputation of
a white elephant. He is the third
man to assume the post, but prob
ably the best qualified.
He said today he intends to bring
only the best OF everything to the
arena, to enliven shows with some
entertainment such as he presented
with George Washington's football
games when he was handling the
Colonials' publicity and later at the
Redskins games. He Indicated that
Uline would not house sports events
alone but would be open to any
event from rodeos to public debates
where ample room was needed for
spectators.
With Marshall for Years.
Espey joined the Redskin staff
when Marshall transferred the fran
chise here from Boston seven years
ago. He was eminently successful in
his role and two years ago was
elected to the clubs board of di-
rectors. He had been associated
with Marshall before as publicity
man for the old Palace Laundry pro
basket ball team.
Espey will not leave the Redskins
until after the National Football
Leagues annual meeting next
month at Chicago and then will
be available on a part time basis
to help break in his successor. he

Burbury Has Good Wing

Barbary, in the diamond vernac-
ular arm, has an arm. Cal Griffith
who watched him through 1888 at
Charlotte, sWears he can knock a
flea off second base. He raped out
a .264 average for Charlotte last
year and in 49 games with Thorn
asville of the Georgia Florida
League the year before hung up the
respectable figure of .359. This, to
Griff's way of thinking, stamps him
another Bill Dickey.
But there is a flaw in Barbary' S
makeup, an ailing knee not COM
pletely or properly recovered from
an operation for the removal of a
cartilege. Griff says he didn't bake
and massage the joint properly after
the operation and thinks he may
have trouble bending it in approved
big-league catching form.
Joe Cambria, who takes a bow
for plucking Red right off his high
school team. adds to the testimony
concerning his potent throwing arm
with a statement that he pitched
one game for Charlotte last season
and won it. 81, in % innings. This
may give Bluege an idea If that knee

catcher's knee should

get three line hits off him that aft
