BY LEWIS F. ATCHIsON.

1t. Comdrs. Ray Flaherty,s former
Redskin coach, and Max Harrington,
former director of athletics at
George Washington University, both
now on duty with the Navy, will be
affiliated with Comdr. Gene Tunney
In operating the Baltimore franchise
In the new All-American Football
Conference. 1t was reported today.
Comdr. Tunney, retired heavy
weight boxing champion, was given
the franchise at the circuits organ
national meeting at Chicago earlier
this month. Buffalo, San Francisco,
Los Angeles, Philadelphia, New
York, Chicago and a team to be Sc
lected later-probably Cleveland
would comprise the league, which
expects to begin operating next year.
Under the setup Tunney would
head the organization, harrington
would serve as general manager and
Flaherty would coach the team. It
also was reported that Jack Espey,
former publicity director at George
Washington and later general man
ager of the Redskins, would be
added to the stan to handle the
publicity.
Flaherty Declines Comment.
Faherty, one of the most success
full coaches In pro ranks, was with
the Skins from 1896, the teams last
year in Boston. until the close of the
title winning 1912 season, when he
entered the service. He now is
stationed at Farragut, Idaho. He
has been in the city several days
on onicial Navy business, but was
scheduled to fly back to his base
today. He saw the Redskins beat
the Chicago Bears last Sunday at
Baltimore, and after the game
visited his old teams dressing room.
Flaherty today said he had re-
ceived several offers to coach foot
ball after the war but could not
commit himself until completing his
naval service. He said the idea Of
having a financial interest in a pro-
fessional football team definitely
appealed to him, but here again he
was prevented by regulations from
making any moves.
1t previously had been reported
that Flaherty would coach a team
to be operated by Bing Crosby in
Los Angeles. but he denied that
rumor. The Los Angeles franchise
subsequently was given to Don
Ameche.
Marshall Is Net Opposed.
harrington said his future plans
could not be formulated until after
the war. He admitted the idea was
attractive. but said his duties pro-
hibited him from committing him.
