Baugh Shines Despite
Curb Skins Coaches
Order in Practice
BY WALTER r. McCALLUM,
Star staff Correspondent.

SAN DIEGO, Calf, Aug. 6.-Long
awaited rough stuff was to start for
the Redskins today as Coach Arthur
Dutch Bergman lifted the lid on
his ban on body contact and ordered
the big bruisers Of pro football to
move into tackling dummy drills and
light scrimmage.
These fellows are supposed to
know the fundamentals OF tackling
and blocking and theoretically
should know the primer stuff Of
football" said Dutch, but we find 1t
does no harm to let 'em get a little
rough with each other as early as
possible.
All that has gone on up to now
has been getting them into shape
for the rough work." he continued.
"A man In condition does not injure
easily and the running and passing
we've had the boys doing has been
done to get them in shape"
Coaches Protect Baugh.
1t Is no secret that when the
rough stuff gets under way the
coaches see to 1t that Sammy Baugh
doesn't get too much of it. Sammy
is the Redskins offense. Take him
away and the team not only loses
much of its scoring punch, but also
much of its deception. With Baugh
out for any length of time because
of a serious injury the Redskins
might drop games they would win
with him in there.
But Baugh himself doesn't ask or
want any release from the rough
stuff. tits one Of our hardest jobs
to keep Sammy from roughing it UP
with those big fellows" said Berg
man. HE wants to go in there, but
we don't want him to get hurt"
The two-a-day workouts have been
confined to polishing the new and
tricky plays Bergman is developing,
but the ball handling must be i'm
proved.
Sammy Stahdout in Drill.
I flew over the stadium in big
bomber yesterday and thousand
feet below the husky footballmen
seemed toy soldiers on a green
carpet, but you could pick out the
lean Baugh. He has the action that
singles him out from some OF the
numbering men along the forward
wall. He Is a marvel Of football
precision.

Edwards have that All-Star game in

YORK, Pa, Aug. 6.-Twelve years

27 years of baseball. So Bentley
thought.

Looms as Nations
Strongest Team
BY CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN,
Associated Press SPORTS writr-

CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-Football mav
be In the hands Of pallbearers in
some parts Of the country for the
duration, but in the Western Cons
ference, where TOO players have re-
ported for summer practices, thu
coffin corner still is a gridiron term.
Maj. John L. Grifith, Big Ten
commissioner of athletics, said he is
delighted with the general pictures
declaring that the games health is
being watched by the best doctor I'm
the world-"the American public
who insists it continue; school
officials, who are supporting 1t mors
than ever because of its training
values, and military leaders, who are
chorusing. send us more of those
football players" 4
Maj. Griffith refuses to becoms
alarmed over reports that 189 COLI
leges in the Nation have abandoned,
football for the duration and he
estimates that more than 80 per
cent of the colleges which competed
in ls41 will have teams operating
this fall.
Few Stars Escape Big Ten.
Enrolment of servicemen with
gridiron experience has made this
possible. In the Western Conference,
some schools have seen their out
standing men dispatched to other
campuses as marine and Navy stu-
dents. But what keeps the gridiron
future of 1943 stable in this section
Is the fact that few of the stars
escaped from the realms Of the Con-
ference and will be competing for
teams which only year ago they
were playing against.
Already 1t is possible to name the
most important football alignment
of 1943. It's the Wisconsin Michigan
tilt. Halfback Elroy Hirsch, Quarter
back Jack Wink and Center Fred
Negus, who helped Wisconsin's best
team in 30 years gain runnerup
honors last fall, were shifted as
service students to Michigan along
with several promising freshmen.
The wolverines also nabbed Min
nesota's thunderous fullback, Bill
Daley. They had 125 men romping
in the summer drills which the Big
Ten inaugurated this year. With
this talent abetting such holdover
material as Back Bob Wiese and
Linemen Merv Pregulman and Julius
Franks, Michigan should have the
strongest football unit in the coun-
try.
Purdue Squad Is Largest.
Purdue had 161 candidates, the
highest number in the Conference,
while Ohio State, the 1912 cham
pion, had only 38 and Illinois, 80.
Joe De Fillip, Fordham center;
Tackle John GEMS and Guard Alex
Agase of Illinois were among those
lining up with the Boilermakers.
Ohio States roll call showed 81
freshmen who were II years old;
among 60 turning out at Minnesota
was the Gophers' fine quarterback,
Bill Garnaas, who stayed on as
Viz student; and with lot on hand
at Northwestern, the Wildcats were
assured of their greatest reserve
strength in history.
Wisconsin, typifying conditions OF
school with no basic Navy or
marine unit, lost 81 squadmen. all

Reds Generating Pace
That May Challenge
Leading Cardinals
BY the Associated Press.

The Cincinnati Reds. who have
been blowing hot and cold all season.
apparently are generating a full
head of steam that may blow Pitts
burgh out of second place in the
National League, and possibly prove
very annoying to the first-place St.
Louis Cardinals.

Ing performance by Bucky Walters,
the Reds yesterday beat the Chicago
Cubs, to /, and dropped the crum-
bling Brooklyn Dodgers from third
to fourth. The Reds took over third
place, only two and one-half games
behind the Pirates.
In this spot they can profit re-
gardless of how the Pirates-C Cards
series, opening tonight in st. Louis,
turns out. If the Cards win. the
Reds gain on the Pirates. If Pitts
burgh wins, the Reds take a step
closer to first place.
With all other major league clubs
idle, the rise of the Rhinelanders
shared interest with Dolph Camilli's
announcement that he had quit
baseball.
1t may be only a coincidence, but
the return to form Of Walters seems
to have inspired the Reds. They
have won four of their last five
starts, and Bucky, the third base
man turned pitcher. has won two of
them. II Johnny Wander Nicer be-
gins to win regularly, along with
Elmer Riddle, Ray Starr and
Walters, the Reds will be very for

Maryland Grid Talent
Meaqer al First Look

Doc Spears, new football coach at
the University of Maryland, Is far
from being a pessimist, but his chin
must have dropped some when he
took the first look at his 1943 grid
candidates in twilight practice at
College Park yesterday.
There was plenty of quantity,
about so youngsters turning out, but
1t was evident that virtually all were
novices at the game and most of
them had what might be termed a
non-athletic appearance.
Most of the boys were II years of
age or thereabout and none of
them ever had played college brand
football.
Spears, though, was cheerful, say
ing, I'VE hope to make it interesting
in spite of the handicaps, because a
lot of the other schools will be in
the same boat as we are"
He also let it be known that he
was not counting on any help from
the hundreds of Army men taking
specialized training at the uni
versity but would work with what
undergraduate strength he has.
Marylands schedule also is in the
uncertain category, with Virginia
Tech, listed for the opener at Roa-
noke on September 25, now on the
doubtful list.
Games that appear sure are Vir-
ginia, Penn State, v. M. I. and
Lakehurst Naval Training Station.

Powell Is Coming Back to Mats
To Boost Riqhthund Attack

Need of hitting insurance for
the western trip, especially against
left-handed pitchers, brings Alvin
Jake) Powell back to the Mats.
President Clark Griffith of the
Washington Club announces Jakes
return to the team on which he
broke into major league ball in a
deal that sends Johnny Marion and
cash to st. Paul of the American
Association in exchange for Out
fielder Powell. Amount of the cash
involved was. as usual, not dis
closed.
Marion in IA games this season,
mostly as pinch hitter. was hit
ting a weak .188. Powells average
in the A. A. unofficially is .273. His
hitting, though, says Griffith, has
been timely and he always was es-
pecially dangerous against portside
hurlers. Griff's present plans call
for him to be used only against left
handed tossers. With Bob Johnson
able to return to the lineup now 1t
will enable the Mats to present an
entire outfeld of right handed hit
ters in Johnson, Powell and George
Case.
Now "a, Jake came up to the
Mats in 1884 and was traded to
New York in 1886 for Ben Chap
man. He was the hitting star OF the
World Series that year and remained
with the Yankees through 1889. He
then went to San Francisco and
Montreal before going to st. Paul

Griffs' Victory Hopes
Soar With Red Sox
Top Hur|ers Ai|ing

By Staff Correspondent Of The star
| BOSTON, Aug. 6.-The Mats pros
poets of remaining the hottest club
in the American League at least for
a few days were enhanced when it
was learned Boston's three top
pitchers, Tex Hughson, Oscar Judd
and Yank Terry, probably won't
view action against Washington in
the four-game series starting today.
That trio of pitchers, responsible
for 26 of Boston's 46 victories this
season, represent a particular pain
in the neck to the Mats. Of the six
games in which the Red Sox have
defeated the Mats, Hughson, Judd
and Terry have accounted for five.
Leonard VS.. Newsome Today
Extremely pleasant to the Mats
will be Judd's absence due to sore
arm. On the two occasions Judd
faced Washington this season, he
permitted a total of eight hits and
one run in l8 innings. Terry, a 80
conqueror of the Mats, also is nurs-
ing an ailing arm and Hughson, who
has beaten the Mats, TO and 80,
is benched with a sore thumb.
The Mats were to carry a seven
game winning streak against Heber
NeWsome today, with Dutch Leonard
as Manager Ossie Bluege's hope of
extending that victory string. A
four-hit shutout victor over the Red
Sox in his last appearance against
them, Leonard was pursuing his
eighth triumph.
Manager Joe Cronin Of the Red
Sox plans to pitch Joe Dobson to-
morrow, with Mike Ryba and Joe
Woods available for Sundays dou-
ble-header, while Bluege probably
will employ Jim Mertz tomorrow and
Milo Candini and Early Wynn on
Sunday.
Johnson Ready Again.
Outfelder Bob johnson, who has
been nursing jammed hand for two
weeks, now is able to grip d bat
firmly but with Cronin planning to
use righthanders against the Mats,
Bluege may delay inserting hard
hitting Bob in Washington's lineup.
Gene Moore, who replaced john
son in the Mats outfield, has hit
safely in II straight games. batting
400 over that span, and Bluege is
reluctant to break up a Winning
lineup even to wedge the valuable

With George Case in a batting
slump-he has failed to hit safely
in his last IL efforts-Bluege may
send johnson to left field. however,
and leave Moore in right. Stan
Spence, benched last week for
sparse swatting, has obtained 10 hits
in his last IL trips to the plate.
