Manpower Loss, Lack
OF Housing Blocking
Tribe 5 Trip West
BY LEWIS F. ATCHIsON.

The Redskins definitely will have
a football team this year, President
George Marshall told The Star to-
day in telephone conversation
from San Diego, but reports from
that Southern California city cast
some doubt on whether the squad
would return here for preseason
practice and customary exhibition
games.
An Associated Press dispatch had
reported Marshall as saying he
wasn't certain the Redskins would
have a team because of manpower
Shortage.
IF selective service continues to
take 4-Fs we may not have enough
men to bring team to San Diego" ;"
Marshall was quoted. Even if we
do there is no assurance we could
find place to house them"
Marshall said the statement was
correct only as it concerned specula-
tion about the training camps site.
That is something that can't be
settled before May /, or June l." he
told The Star. 1--WE have got to
wait and see what happens in the
next couple of months before we can
make definite plans about coming
out here to train
Training Sites Considered.
Proposed work-or- fight legisIa-
tion, now pending in Congress, is
one barrier blocking the Redskins
return to the Southern California
city. Observers here believe the
team may have to remain in the
East and train at site convenient
to war plants where players may be
employed, and General Manager Sid
Carroll has made inquiries about
several sites. Carroll is interested
in the University of Virginia, where
Green Bay last fall prepped for its
title-winning game with the New
York Giants, and Mount St. Mary's
College, near Emmittsburg, Md.
Meanwhile, best evidence that the
Skins will play next season came to-
day from Business Manager John
Thompson's warning that season
reservations not renewed by Thurs
day will be distributed to applicants
on first-come- -flrst-served basis.
Several thousand new applications
already are on file, Thompson said
Marshall, replying to critics of
the clubs seasonal safari to the
coast, pointed out that the San
Diego game had been commended
by military officials as a morale
builder and that high-ranking Off
GERS had expressed hope it would
be played this year. The squad
solved its housing problem last year
by living In the San Diego High
School gym and training in that
schools stadium.
Coast Games Relief Aids.
The Redskins have entertained
10000 servicemen guests at San
Diego in the last three years, Mar
shall said, while the last two games
netted $4,000 for the crippled chill
dren's fund. The team customarily
follows up with another exhibition
game at Los Angeles before return
ing East. Last year it nosed out
March Field, 7-3, in a game that
produced more than $6o,0 for the
Air Forces relief fund.
Marshall is not perturbed about
any travel ban because the club
brought only 18 men to San Diego
from as far East as the Mississippi
River, he told the AP. The original
party that left Washington had sew
en- members. Travelling done BY the
club in connection with the benefit
game had the approval of Joseph
Eastman, former ODT head, in the
past, Marshall declared.

Jockey Fails

CHICAGO, April IL QNS) -
Being a jockey with a diminutive
stature has certain disadvantages,
Tony Skoronski conceded today.
On a horse, Tony is one of the
fastest of the little fellows, as he
demonstrated frequently before
Mr.. ByrneS shut down on racing.
Restricted TO his own locomotion,
he is not so hot.
This accounted for his presence
before Judge Francis J. Borrelli,
accused of diSorderly conduct. He
had been in a street fight, II
seems. Three or four others in
the free-for-all took 10 their heels
when the cops hove in sight
"Why didn't you escape, too"
asked the Judge.
"You see" said Tony. I'm
only feet 10 inches tall and
my legs were too short"
"Well. Mr.. Skoronski," the
Judge observed. T've seen you
ride, and II you'd had n horse
YOU never would have been
caught. Charges dismissed"

winning both games on last

won two games in both the major
and minor divisions in Detroit.
The Chicago Rogues captured
the William Randolph Hearst
trophy for the major by trimming
the River Rouge Lions. 40 10 %.
The Chicago Donald Ducks an
nexed the Jack Kenny trophy by
eliminating the Bluebirds of De-
troit, 35 TO 1S.
During the middle two periods
of their major league game the
Detroit carriers played the home
team on even terms. In the first
and last sessions. however, the
Chicago boys piled up substan-
tial margin. At the end of the
third period the Detroit boys
pulled 10 within seven points of
the winners, but faded in the last
five minutes.
In the minor league game, the
Chicago cagers went out in front
early and steadily increased their
lead. They had a considerable
edge in weight, height and expert
ence.
The Times carriers will spend
today seeing the sights and return
home tomorrow.

Other De+roiters

Besides Mistele, Detroit boys in
the Chicago camp were: Mike
fresh, veteran catcher once OF
the Tigers, and Cass Michaels, a
shortstop. who are still with the
club: Vic Austin and Howie Rob-
erts, sent to Little Rock, and
Ralph Strem.- pitcher from Uni
versity of Michigan who was given
his release. Strem pitched for a
Crosse Pointe team in sandlot ball.
The showing OF Michaels at
shortstop has been the source OF
great pleasure TO Jimmy Dykes
the White Sox manager. Michaels
was one of the stars of the series.
He not only played brilliantly
afield, but was the most consist
ent hitter in the Sox lineup. He
hit safely in every one of the five
games.
His hitting especially improved
since he showed a weakness at
bat last year. While Dan Rey-
nolds, because of his experience,
may win the regular shortstop
berth, the feeling here is that the
former Detroit sandlotter is on
his way to stardom. The Sox got
Reynolds from Newark in the
draft.
Michaels Is rated the fastest
man in the Chicago squad He is
a former American Legion player
who played under his real name
Kwietniewski. Seven big league
clubs bid for him, the White SoX
being the lucky bidder.
