To Battle Redskins
On September 23

The Redskins last night closed
for their 18th game of the 1945 foot
ball season, a nontitle duel with the
champion Green Bay Packers at
Griffith Stadium September %.
Addition of the champs left only
dates open on the Tribes card.
While the matter of training
site still is up in the air, the Skins
will have to report by mid-August,
regardless of where they go, to prep
for the curtain-raiser with Cleve-
land. The next two dates are open,
although General Manager Sid Car
roll says negotiations are pending
for nonleague tilts, and the team
also has September 30 available for
a Warmup, with the loop debut at
Boston October 7.

all of last seasons seat holders and
new applicants for regular pews that
first payments now are due. Regu-
lar seats are $3.50 per game, or $3.50
for six home games Box seats are

regular ticket holders also may OBJ
tain the same seats for this game
if they apply before September l,
when the public sale begins. Season
tickets will be on sale up to Septem-
Der /, but the deadline for renewing
last years seats has passed.
