By the Associated Press.

Belief that the air forces new
super bomber will surprise and
hurt" the enemy was expressed yes
terday by Representative Sparkman,

ton tour of aviation plants and air

interviewer he was not talking about

last month by Gen. H. H. Arnold,
air force chief.
Later, however, Mr.. Sparkman
corrected himself and said the new
bomber he had seen was the B-29.
Gen. Arnold said the B-29 will
make present long-range bombers

The Alabama Representative stated
that the new plane would soon be in

Williams Out, Skins
Go 10 Market for
Pair Of Backs

TWO more deals for backfield men
were on the fire in the Redskin
front Office today as the Skins babe
good-by to Ted Williams, former
Philadelphia back, who has been re-
leased by the world grid champs.
Williams release came as surprise.
He had been expected to become
star with the Tribe, but suddenly it
became known he couldn't see more
than few yards. The young man
was honest about it, declaring he
could do the Skins no good. An ex-
animation by the club physician dis
closed the defective eyesight, &C
cording to General Manager Carroll,
and his release followed.
Seno Helps Attack.
Two backs. one each from an East
ern and a Western club, are sought
by the Redskins to bolster their run
ming attack, already improved by
the good showing of Frank Seno in
the Chicards game last Sunday. The
two backs sought are among the best
in the league and either or both
would look good in the Redskin
backfield. The Redskin office did
not reveal the names, pending COM
pIetion of the twin deals. Mean
while, the Skins are trying to get
back the money paid for Williams,
who, it is claimed, did not realize his
eyes were in bad shape.
Turnover on the Redskins SQUAD
has been something just less than
terrific. Nineteen players have been
tried and released since July 26 in
an effort to bolster the team. Some
of the deals have proven all right.
Others, as in the Williams case,
have fizzled.
Ticket Sale Is Brisk
Washington football fans are
flocking to the Redskin Office buying
up tickets for the opening game.
Sale of season tickets stopped nearly
month ago, but the fans are push
ing for other ducats. More than $14,-
600 worth Of tickets for the OPEN
ing game against Brooklyn have
been sold in the last two days, the
Redskin office announced.
Meanwhile the pro gridmen. near
ing the end of their workouts at
College Park, were to run through
two of their daily drills today.
Missing from the drills were Willie
Wilkin, Joe Aguirre and Wilbur
Moore, all on the injured list.

seph Gregg 90 Jo) Moore, who,
lacking only 80 days of being a 10
year man in the major leagues, was
shipped to the minors two years
ago by the New York Giants despite
his lifetime big league batting aver

baseball's big time.
The indianapolis Indians OF the

Moore played the last two seasons,

A .315 batting average and bril-
liant defensive. performance led to
Moore's latest promotion, but In
dianapolis fans have been wondering
for two seasons how he every hap
pened to be sent out of the major
leagues.
Moore, native of Cause, Tex,
went to the Giants in 1882 from Jer-
sey City and played in Sc games. He
hit .3G5 that season and maintained
an average close to that figure dur
ing the next six years, getting a
high .331 in 1884. He was ranked as
one of the top defensive outfielders
in the majors and owned a powerful
throwing arm. His hitting slumped
in 1889 to 1863 and in the next two
years he hit about Is points below
the 300 mark.
Moore was In three World Series,
1888, 1896 and 1887, and had a bat
ting average Of .274, including .3sl
in 1887.
In his first year here the fleet
footed gardener hit 281, but this
season he tackled "a points onto that
mark. He has been kept out of the
association playoff series because of
an injured back, but he says he'll
be ready next spring to join the AS

If the word private" before

Moore went to Panama after the

cation instructor, but felt he could
aid the war effort more as soldier
and enlisted as a private.

his roaming to center field, Moore
found his new occupation broaden
ing. to say the least.
Shortly after his induction he was
on several flying missions in the
Southwest Pacific that took him over

witnessed the sinking of Japanese
ships and manned machine gun in
several sorties against shipwrecked
Nipponese.
The location of this action cannot
be disclosed, but Moore assured his
listeners that his batting average
against the Japs was better than
that against the Venezuelans in the
three games here, all of which the
Army outfit dropped. He limited.
too, that the average was consider
ably higher than the .294 he slugged
against the Yankees a year ago.

played in only seven games and the

Tigers Long Await
Real Opportunity
To Beat Vikings
BY GEORGE HUBER.

woodrow Wilson Highs football
players are ignoring that upset beat
Ing they received from Coolidge last
week as though it hadn't happened.
They're thinking of the game at
Central on Friday, and what they
plan to do to the Vikings isn't pleas
ant. Centrals defending champions
were upset by Anacostia last week
and some of the Wilson boys, forget
ting that they also didn't do as we'll
as expected, figure the Vikings as a
soft touch.
Wilson has been waiting some
years to battle Central on equal
terms. They've met five times and
Wilson has been pretty much pushed
around except in 1910 when there was
3 TT tie. Last year the Tigers
thought they might turn the trick,
but were defeated, 60. There was
cry of 1--WE wuz robbed" after that
game, which adds to the interest in
Fridays clash, which should be a
honey.
Wilson Coach Shifts Lineup.
Wilson's coach, Joe Carlo, plans
several shifts in the starting lineup.
Ends Bill Tanney and Bill Boesch
are Ill and probably won't play.
Melvin Sandemeyer and Morgan
Fluff will 60 in their places. Charles
Warren, center, has an injured knee
and Josh Dorsey will take over the
center spot. These injuries, however,
haven't hurt the Tigers too much
because Wilson is better off than
most for reserves.
Carlo also may start Mason Arm
strong at tackle instead of Fred
Cochrane, a move designed to put
q bit more weight in the line. The
Wilson coach is well pleased with
his line as whole, though, and
points to figures of last Fridays
game, which show that Coolidge
gained only 81 yards by rushing.
Another shift may start Pierce God
frey, who is improving rapidly, in
the backfield, in place of Stu Brown.
In summing up his reaction to last
weeks defeat, Carlo says: We're
not singing the blues. We're ready
TO play some football now. 1t was
couple of bad breaks that beat us
and we got those out of our system" ;"
Presidents Undiscouraged.
Another school which isn't letting
. poor start be an indication that
the whole season is ruined is George
Washington High in Alexandria
The Presidents unexpectedly were
defeated by John Marshall of Rich
n1ond, 24-6. Of pregame ratings
the Presidents shouldn't have been
defeated by that margin and possibly
even should have won.
Coach Rasty Doran readily admits
the score was too one-sided, and
lays 1t to the fact that on the first
play Thomas Jefferson pulled
hidden ball trick, complicated with
spinners, passes and whatnot, and
when the dust had cleared it had a
touchdown. This more or less dis
organized the Alexandria boys and
In trying to get out of the hole they
constantly moved in deeper.
The Presidents came through
without serious injuries, however,
and will use the same starting line
up against St. Johns in game

okay. with Jim Wilson, 185-pound
guard, regarded as the outstanding
player last week. In the backfeld,
Coach Doran was pleased particu-
larly with Rock Dodge, a speedy ball
carrier and skilled pass catcher.
