the Bear would have to be carried

The Redskin management already
has applied for the Municipal
Stadium September 10 and 16 next
year for games with the Packers
and Bears.
There was more than a suspicion
that the Bears loafed through most
OF the last period when it was
apparent they were licked. The
Bruins, however, are traditionally
good money players and it un-
doubtedly will be different when the
chips are down.
The Redskin line is going to be
okay. 1t took the ball from Chi

to Line Coach Turk Edwards, 1.-The

Steve Bagarus has led the Pacific
Coast League scorers for the last

George Wilson was q hot Bruin

the game. Mice game, fellows" he
said. What he really wanted was

Don't sell the Bears short. With

fully again yesterday in Baltimore,
in tomahawking the Chicago Bears,
21-7, for their fourth straight exhi-
bition victory and their third over
league opposition.
The Bears gained more than twice
as much ground as the Skins. They
outrushed 'em, 81, and even had
a small margin over them in pass
ing, but the No. / man in the pay

two touchdown passes, which were
all the boys needed. The Skins

Bears, an intercepted pass by Mike

Baugh Is Unenthusiastic.
The home delegation went through

when 1t went for those scores Baugh

sition. not taking the ball directly
up under the center. Call it the

The Yanks temporarily had lost
their f1rst-place hold to the De-
troit Tigers when they dropped the
opener to Rookie Glen Dreisewerd
and the Red Sox, 80. BY winning
the second game, the Yankees re-
gained the lead as both the Tigers
and the st. Louis Browns divided
their twin bills, leaving the Bengals
still a half game behind and the
Browns in third place, one game
away. The Red Sox are three
lengths off the pace.
The Tigers have done even better

the Brownies from deadlocking the
lead. It marked their 18th extra

only six won. They've dropped %
one-run affairs, winning only II.
Dreisewerd gained his second VIC
tory Of the year, both against the
Yankees, holding the league lead
ers to seven hits. Glen won his own
game by doubling in the seventh
and scoring the deciding run.
Another rookie, Mel Queen of the
Yanks, won his fifth of the season,
limiting the Sox to seven blows in

Win nOChlng on unelr mlnOS as
far as league competition is con-
cerned for four days, the Mats will
enjoy a ballplayer's holiday tomor-
row by playing an exhibition game,
then during the next three days
they'll tune for a three-game Sc
ries highly important to the Bos-
ton Red SoX if not to the hosts.
The exhibition will be with the
Naval Training Station nine at
Norfolk, the nine that beat the St.
Louis Browns, to 4, early this sea-
son. It certainly looks as though
the Bluejackets could do more than
make it interesting for the Mats.
The Red Sox will invade Friday
night to play off game postponed
from April 27, then follow with reg
ularly scheduled tussles on Satur-
day night and Sunday afternoon to
close the Mats home season. There's
a chance this series might throw
the Boston club out of the running
for the flag for it has been none too
strong against Washington this
year.
Double Win Over AS.
The Mats yesterday got their first
season series when they beat Phila-
delphia's Athletics, 2 to and 8 to
@ The double-Win, their second
over the AS but only their fourth
in % twin bills this year, got them
the edge over the vanquished in
this campaign, 13 games to 9.
George Case added to his base
stealing laurels by swiping one in
the first game and two in the sec
ond. He now has pilfered A this
year.
The opener was tight tussle be-
tween Jess Flores of the AS and
Dutch Leonard, with Flores actually
outpitching Leonard after the Mats
had done their scoring in the first
inning. The second was romp
for Washington with the club col
lecting 13 hits and beating Don
Black in the first inning before
handing out plenty of punishment
to his successor, Luke Hamlin. Al
Carrasquel went the route for the
Mats to give nine hits, four of those
in the sixth when the AS averted a
shutout.
Pitching Duel.
The best pitching duel of the sea-
son here was staged in the first
game by Flores and Leonard, with
Flores, after an opening inning in
which he gave up three hits, hold
ing the Mats to four, two of those
bunts and the others infield blows
Leonard yielded six hits with three
being punched in the fifth for the
AS tally. He issued the only pass
of the game after two were out in
the ninth. The two strikeouts of
the tilt also were Leonard's. They
came in succession to end the AS
seventh.
-Four batters on each side did all
the hitting with Dick Siebert and
Flores getting two apiece off Leon
ard and Stan Spence getting three
and Mike Guerra two off Flores

single, stole and continued to third
