NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-Los
Angeles papers are blasting
George Marshall because the Red
skins are getting a fat guarantee
out of tonight's charity game with
the March Field grid forces.
Rolando and Armando Vega of
Mexico, two-thirds of the foreign
threat" in the coming national
tennis championships, say their
greatest trouble at Forest Hills
is the difference in altitude. In
Mexico City a tennis ball bounces
higher and not SO fast as it takes
off from grass courts. "JuSt
scramble, that's what we do most
of the time" says Armando.
Hot tip from Montreal is that
Baz O'Meara, the sports scribe,
will be the victim who'll accept
the National Hockey League presi-
dency that strong-minded Red
Dutton turned down. An Iowa
State football handout says: "Of
this years squad of 72, roughly
one-third are civilians" That's
okay as long as they're civilians
roughly enough.

that the Cardinals can break if
they win the pennant in a gale
instead of just a breeze.

Redskins Favored =
Over March Field;
Baugh Is Magnet
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 25.-Almost
wholly in the name of charity, the
Washington Redskins of the Ma
tional Football League and a quite
promising team representing March
Field Army Air Forces establishment
near Riverside, Calf, open the
gridiron season tonight in Los
Angeles big Memorial Coliseum.
George Marshall's Redskins, 2-to-1
favorites, will pocket $12,500, but the
rest of the gate will go for Army
recreational facilities in the Pacific
area.
Biggest magnet for the crowd will
be Slingin' Sammy Baugh, one of
footballs most remarkable perform
ers. Sammy is starting his eighth
season of pro football.
The Redskins have switched from
the single and double wing to the
T formation, and that's right down
Sammy's alley.
In the last seven years he has ac-
cumulated a record of $50 per cent
pass completions. He has tossed
1929 passes, completed 679 of them
for 1879 yards and 70 touchdowns.
Last year, his best, saw him throw
ing for 1,754 yards and % touch
downs
But last year Baugh was taking
the ball on a direct pass from center.
The opposition knew he was going
to pass or hand the ball to running
mate on a reverse. This year, Coach
Dud De Groot, carrying out master
plan devised by Clark Shaughnessy,
who knows the T system forward
and backward, thinks Sammy will
give the enemy the jitters trying to
find out just where the ball is.
Baugh will take the ball on every
play, squatting right behind the
center, He won't do much carrying,
but he'll be throwing more than ever.
Sammy can kick, too. He has led
the league in that department for
five years and holds the record of
IS yards.

Injury 10 Case Halls
Duel
With Stirnweiss
BY JOHN b. KELLER.

New YOrkiS Yankees drop into
Grinith Stadium to open their last
series Of the year here, but the
four scheduled games very likely
won't include the head-to-head duel
between George Stirnweiss and the
Mats George Case for the American
Leagues base stealing leadership.
It's all because of that scrap with
Nelson Potter Of the st. Louis
Browns last Tuesday night, but it's
not because Case has drawn a sus-
pension as punishment for that af-
fair. There's been no penalty i'm
posed by the leagues Chicago head

ing at Potter the Nat speed mer-
chant threw out Of place again that
trick left arm of his so he won't be
able to get into action tonight and
probably won't face the Yanks here
at all.
Too bad, because q torrid scrap
between the man after the base
stealing title for the sixth straight
year and the fleet Yankee was prom
ised. Each has pilfered 80 bases
this year, but Stirnweiss has the
Better percentage. He has been
caught stealing only five times while
Case has been nipped is times.
For the opener tonight, Manager
Os Biuege hopes to send Dutch
Leonard to the pitching hill.
Clark Grifith, Nat prexy, has gone

His latest pickup is one Arnold

Leaders Win II Of IA
From ChalIengers;
WiIks Stays Hot
BY JACK HAND,


Detroit's two-man pitching stan
prepared to make its bold challenge
for an American League pennant
today as the st. Louis Browns
dropped into the Motor City for 4
four-game set showing signs Of wear
and tear after rough Eastern trip
II the Brownies are going tc
blow" the crystal ball gazers have
selected this series as the time fol
it, although Luke Sewens leaders
warped the Tigers II times in IA
early-seaSon meetings.
Detroit fans remembered how the
Tigers drove on to a flag the last
time the Yankees faltered in 1910
and figured it was time for the
worm to turn in their relations with
St. Louis If they were going to keep
up their rep of winning when New
York loses.
Meet First Time Since June.
Partly balancing the Brownies
big series edge was the fact that
the teams met seven times in April
and hadn't seen one another since
June Is. Since then the Tigers we're
strengthened by the return of Dick
Wakefield, who is hitting 1903, to
lead the club.
Hal Newhouser with a 20-win rec
ord and Dizzy Trout with 20-9 have
accounted for almost two-thirds of
the Detroit victories and Trout did
not begin to get hot until the sea-
son neared the halfway mark.
Newhouser topped the Browns twice
and lost two but Trout took only
one of four. None of the others
were able to beat St. Louis.
On the Brownie side, Sig Jakucki
held three decisions over the Tigers
to one loss, Jack Kramer had 2-1,
Nelson Potter, II; Tex Shirley
Steven Sundry and Al Hollingworth
10, and Bob Muncrief, 20. It was
the hurting department, however
that had Sewell worried on the
Eastern trip. Since August only
four of his pitchers had gone the
route. Muncrief had been belted out
three times running and Jakucki
had finished only once in a month

was f1oored three out of four.
st. Louis still was sitting pretty
with a 41a-game lead and could
dispose of Detroit's challenge by an
even split. New York and Boston
needed clean sweeps to do any exten-
sive gaining.
Chicago's Cubs gave St. Louis q
close scrap but succumbed for the
18th straight time last night in the
only major league game played. A
Philadelphia a-at-Boston day game
was rained out and no other clubs
were scheduled.
Teddy Wilks, beaten only by the
Giants, stretched his win streak to

beating the Cubs. 81. He allowed
only three hits in topping Claude
