Single by Moses
Off CarrasqueI
Decides Issue
Blow Comes With Two
Gone; Lefebvre Keen
Till Eighth Inning
BY BURTON HAWKINS,
Star staff Corresponaent


CHICAGO, Aug. Wally Noses
crisp single to right with Vince Cas-
tino perched on second base and
two out In the ninth inning brought
an abrupt ending to the Mats three
game winning streak here today as
Chicago came from behind three
times to deal Washington q 5-4
defeat.
The Mats fetched themselves the
tying run in the sixth inning. But
Alex Carrasquel took over WASH
ington's pitching from Wilfred
Lefebvre in Chicago's portion of the
inning and, for the White Sox, II
represented happy selection.
Carrasquel invited disaster by
promptly walking Dick Cutler. Cas-
tino attempted to sacrifice, but
forced Cutler at second. But Relief
Pitcher Gordon Maltzberger sacri-
f1ced successfully to set the stage
for Moses. The Mats had a train
to catch within the hour and Moses
made certain they caught it.
He pumped a single into right
f1eld and whatever chance existed
OF nipping Castino at the plate
vanished as Rightfielder George
Case fumbled the ball. Thus the
Mats dropped 10 games behind the
league-leading New York Yankees,
who were mauling Cleveland.
Mats Tie In NTH.
Washington entered the ninth
trailing, 4-3. but Jake Early opened
with a looping double down the left
field line. George Myatt ran for
him and after Alex Kampouris was
hit by pitched ball, Lefebvre at
temped to sacrifice, but forced Myatt
at third. Jake Powell was inserted
to run for Lefebvre.
Case deposited a pop single over
Second Baseman Culler's head,
scoring Kampouris and sending
Powell to third, but after Case stole
second Mickey Vernon popped out
and Stan Spence grounded out to
Joe Kuhel at first.
Washington grasped 10 lead In
the first inning when Case singled
to left. George stole second-his
two stolen bases boosted his total
| Tor the season to 40-and Vernon
walked. When Spence beat out a
bunt down the third base line the
bases were loaded with none out, but
the best the Mats could get out of
1t against Buck Ross was one run.
Case scored as Gene Moore drilled
into a double-play and Harlond
Cliff fed deep to Guy Outright In
left.
White Sox Forge Ahead,
That lead existed only briefly
for Moses greeted Lefebvre with
triple to left and Ralph Hodrin
rought him across with double to
center. Outright sacrificed and
the White OK owned 81 advantage
when Luke Appling contributed a
single to center.
| While Lefebvre braced to stynie
the White Sox, the Mats produced
the tieing run with two out in the
fifth. After Priddy and Early had
flied out, Kampouris was safe on
Culler's tumble He stole second
and Lefebvre doubled to score him.

Farkas Accepts
$500 Fine, Will
Face AI|-Stars
In Shape, He Declares,
Redskin Back Will
Report Tomorrow
By WALTER McCALLUM,
Star STAFF Correspondent.

CHICAGO, Aug. 21.-Andy Farkas,
accepting fine of $500, came to
terms tonight with the Washington
Redskins and will play against the
college All-Stars Wednesday night
In Northwestern University's Dyche
Stadium. He will report Monday.
The crack ball-runner told the
Redskin chief, George P. Marshall,
he will be fit for battle, having con-
ditioned at the University of Mary
land in off hours from job in the
vicinity. His salary was not dis
closed but Marshall declared he
would stand pat on an ultimatum
that Farkas would be fined 5000 a
week for every week he Jagged be-
hind reporting time. He was a
month late.
Presence of Farkas, if he is ready
60 go at top speed, probably changes
the complexion of the Wednesday
scrap in which the Redskin coaches
figured they needed every possible
asset for victory. The pro cham
pions before Farkas became avail
able were underdogs.
Find AH-Stars Favored.
The Redskins hold the dubious
distinction of being one of the only
two pro clubs ever defeated in the
annual tilt against the former COL
legians here, and this year the Red
skins hit town to find the All-Stars
openly favored in the betting.
Today's scrimmage, at Loyola
University stadium, was not a
bruising affair, but the backs were
coached carefully in signal drill,
supplementing the daily skull and
blackboard sessions at the Redskins
hotel. Bergman is thorough be-
lever in schooling.
Sammy Baugh, his back still all
ing, was kept down to passing and
ball handling in yesterdays scrim-
mage. Although Sam is sure to get
into the All-Star Game next We'd
nesday, news of his condition has
spread around and Bergman is de-
termined to take no chances on
Baugh receiving further injuries
that might jeopardize his usefulness
