I'VE can beat them if we play our
best football" says Redskin Coach
Edwards commenting on the Tribes
National League debut against the
Eagles Sunday at Philadelphia. He
doesn't add, "and we'd better" but
it's no secret that either the Skins
win this one or dig in for a long,
hard autumn.
This is the big hump for the
rookie-dominated Washington club
Buffeted by adversely in three of
four preseason games, the Skins
need win for morale purposes like
a stiff shirt needs starch. If they
take it they might gain enough con-
f1dence in their ability to put an
other Eastern title feather in their
cap. but If they lose it could be the
beginning Of the worst record a Red
skin team ever compiled.
I'VE can beat them" Edwards re-
peated, because we have the per-
sonnel to do it. Baugh is ready to
60 and if we can shake a couple of
receivers loose for him we'll run up
a score. We know they'll do some
scoring, too, but we hope to be at
least one touchdown better. I think
We are and hope we can prove it

Bucky Harris says the left-handed
ace mas saved at least IA others,
Casey, Brooklyn's ace fireman, has
hung up 1914 mark in 46 relief ap-
pearances. Like Page, he has saved
many others. although the portlv
rlght-nanded rescuer has been on the
Sldellnes since September l2 with a

a worthy relief mate in Hank Behr-

In contrast to their pitching prob-
lens, the Dodgers appear to possess

years eligibles in sophomore Bruce
EoWaros, An expert on catching
1oul balls, the stocky receiver is a
capable, aggressive mittman and has
been tabled in many quarters as the
most valuable cog in the Dodger
machine.
The Yankee catching probably will
be divided between Aaron Robinson
and Yogi Berra. Both are left-hand-
ed hitters, but Berra hits the longer
ball. Robinson, however, possesses the
stronger throwing arm. The Dodgers
have a decided edge there.

As Midget Cars End
Racing al Lanham

Mike Joseph, president of the
American Racing Drivers Club, will
be among the favorites to win the
100-lap feature tonight that winds
up the midget auto season at West
Lanham Speedway. Mike showed
his speed again last night by taking
the 25-lap main event at Philadel-
phia's Yellow Jacket Speedway for
the second straight week.
He made sweep of three events
at Lanham two weeks ago, Larry
Bloomer, l0o-mile champion last
year, was second to Joseph last
night, while George Fonder came
in third. Both these drivers are
expected in tonight's Lanham field.
Fonder was leading money winner
for the past two years and holds
the rs and so lap record there.
Another top driver expected to-
night is Larry Christopher, who
made a clean sweep at Lanham
several weeks ago. There will be
16 cars in the final race with such
other drivers as Len Duncan, Tony
Bonaoies, Jim Forte, Shorty Nc
Andrews and Mike San Felice COM
peting ip the six earlier races that
will qualify drivers for the payoff
heat.
It's probable that tonight's crowd
will send the Lanham attendance
figures to over 100000 this season.
Approximately $4,000 have witnessed
the l3 programs to date.
