SAN DIEGO, Aug. 3l.-Don't
overlook Dick Todd in your Redskin
plans this season, because the lean
little Texan was the Tribes most
dangerous ball carrier last night in
its 34-6 victory over the Pacific
Coasts League All-Stars. He and
Steve Bagarus stole the show, &C.
counting for three of the five
touchdowns.
Todd was the guy who slipped
through those quick openings for
gains ranging from to 10 yards.
He went outside left tackle for the
Skins second score and was a con-
slant threat every time he got his
hands on the ball.
They made line plunger out of
Bagarus, but he was best in a broken
field, particularly on the end of a
pass. Jack Jacobs tossed one to
Steve for Is yards and the Skins
initial touchdown, then duplicated
the stunt for 45-yard gain and

Bosox Press Hub Mark
For Most Wins; Pills
Homers Clip Giants
By Joe ReichIer
Associated Press Sports Writer

II the pennant-bound Boston Red
Sox continue at their present pace,
they should wind up the season
with the most games ever won by
a Boston team.
Having already bagged 80 OF 1870
games for .692 percentage, the
American League pace-setters can
top their 1912 high of los victories
provided they win Is of their
remaining "a games-a .667 pace.
In only one other yearA1915-
did any Boston aggregation reach
the century figure in games won.
That year the pennant-winning
Red Sox won 101 games.
In the only scheduled American
League games yesterday, the Sox
pasted the visiting Philadelphia
Athletics twice, 60 and 6-2, for
their 14th and 18th victories in 10
meetings with the cellarites.
Tex Hughson fashioned the first
game shutout, limiting the Mackmen
to four hits for his 18th triumph
and his fifth by shutout. A i've
run fifth inning against Luther
Knerr clinched the verdict. Jim
Bagby allowed only five Mack hits
in the nightcap.
The pair of victories increased
the Red Sox margin over the sec
ond place New York Yankees to
1917 games. Any combination of
IL Boston victories and New York
defeats will clinch the flag for the
Red Sox.
The Philadelphia Phils increased
their sixth-place margin over the
Giants to two games by defeating
the New Workers, 4-3, under the
Polo Grounds lights in the only
National League game.
Homers accounted for three of
the Philly runs with Jim Tabor,
Johnny Wyrostek and Del Ennis
betting the four-baggers. Charley
Schanz held the Giants to seven
hits in registering his fifth VIC
tory. One of the Giants blows was
a home run by Buddy Kerr, who
was hnoored in a pregame cere-
mony witnessed by 1898 fans.

Nips Miami Rally

By Burton Hawkins
Sior Sfoff Correspondent

BALTIMORE, Aug. 31.-The re-
port that Miami or Buffalo will shift
an All-America Football Conference
franchise to Baltimore is so much
rubbish reports Jack Espey, general
manager of the Miami Seahawks.
II don't know where that story
started, but it's pure bunk" says
Espey. Both Miami and Buffalo
hackers have poured too much
money into those cities even to con-
slider such a thought"
The infant All-America Confer
ence made its competitive bow here
last night as the Buffalo Bisons de-
feated the Miami Seahawks, 1921,
before a crowd Of 1852, but before
the first tackle was made the report
was out that the Bisons or Seahawks
eventually would wind up in Balti-
more.
THE All-America Conference has
two or three times the capital be-
hind it that the National League
has," continued Espey, former gen.
eral manager of the Washington
Redskins, land the hackers are
willing to spend. Baltimore prob
ably will get an All-America Con-
ference franchise, but it won't mean
moving the Miami or Buffalo club
in here"
AS the brace of weaker clubs in
the All-America Conference clashed,
Steve Juzwik, formerly Of Notre
Dame and the Redskins, and Harry
(Hippety) Hopp, ex-Nebraska and
Detroit Lions ace, dominated action.
They carried the Bisons to a 23-7
lead, enough to withstand Miami's
two-touchdown comeback in the
final period.
Juzwik, who teamed with Hopp in
getting most of the ground gained
by the Bisons, made the games most
spectacular run, 51-yard touch
down gallop in the second period.
