AL Evans wields clever pocket

did not learn while attending Oak
Ridge Military Academy. But while
at school the blond Tar Heel dis
covered what to do with a baseball

him to pick up more dough than
he ever could pocket in a billiard
room.
1t was his batting as well as his
catching that brought him up tc

fit he holds high ranking as re.
ceiver-and a clouter of no NEAR
ability, too.
Ais batting was not so good as
his catching in his schooldays Oak
Ridge had pretty good ball club
while he was there, good enough
to attract the attention of severa
big league scouts. One saw Al in a
game when the youngster from

times and the big league scout
wouldn't even speak to him.
Others liked AIS work, though
and before long he was with New
Bern of the Coastal Plains League
From there it was a quick Jump to
Washington across the Charlotte
farm.
There was not much for Evans to
do for the Mats when he came up
in 1889, for Jake Early then was
developing into a star catcher. At
that, AL managed to impress the
Washington management with his

throwing arm.
So he hung around for four sea
sons, picking up big league knowl-
edge here and there. until the wal

Evans in November, 1942, to remain
until June of last year, when he was
given a medical discharge. The
doctors just got tired of treating
AIS chronic colds.
Weakened by his ailment, AL die

and the club came near losing him
this year. He came up to Washing

Griffith, to learn whether he had g
chance to do any catching this time
"If you don't intend to give me
work, trade me- AL insisted.
He'd get his chance, he was told
and at the College Park -trainine
camp there was no toiler more ar.

When he wasn't catching, throwins

By LEWIS F. ATCHISON.

Dy LIZ "A SAAAooASs

skins for the 1945 National Football
League campaign, 1t was reported
today. although neither he nor club
officials had anything definite to say
about his immediate future.

ment from the gridiron this year
after being holdout last autumn,
worked out informally at the Tribes
Hilltop training camp yesterday,
giving rise to rumors he would be
back in uniform before the end of
the week. But Coach Dud De Groot
said Andy hadn't broached the mat
ter and Farkas said he had not ask
ed to be reinstated.
The one-time Detroit ace, who
still holds the league record for
touchdowns scored by back in one
season, tested his knee in a strenu-
GUS session of running back kicks
and catching passes and found it
sound. 1t was an injury to the
knee, twice operated on, that
prompted Farkas to announce his
retirement.
Would Face Lot of Work.
De Groot said the team probably
could use Farkas ''if he gets in there
right away and goes to town." but
he indicated it would be long, hard
pull for him to master the T. In
almost three weeks at training camp
| the Redskins have had two black
board drills daily in the T and spent
hours poring over their own
notebooks, and to make a successful
comeback Farkas would have to
cover all that ground.
Farkas was noncommittal but ad-
mltted he still likes to play football.
Work at the war plant where he is
employed has tapered off so that he
would have time to play and he
thinks his knee will stana the gat.
Reports that Lou Rymkus, tackle
on the l943 Redskin team and now
In the Navy, has signed with the
Cleveland All-America Conference
were discounted by De Groot, who
pointed out that although the pro-
posed new circuit is signing PLAYERS
drafted by National League teams
1t has avoided those already under
contract.
"Rymkus is very deeply obligated
to us and l don't think he would
Jump the club" De Groot said.

We have held a tight rein on

DON'T like being cooped up here. I
don't blame them because I don't
