The Washington Redskins signed
their SD player for the National

day in Philadelphia that the Red

Hollywood Gold Cup
To Have Fair Field,
Plenty Of Glamour
by the Associated Press

1NGLEWOOD, Calf, July "a
The 100000 Hollywood Gold Cup,
short on tradition but long on cash,
promises to arouse its quota of
local and national interest Saturday
as a dozen or more thoroughbreds
go to the post for the eighth run
ming of the event.
There will be no highly publicized
Assault or Stymie in the procession.
There won't be a tough, great little
Seabiscuit to grab the gold, as he
did in the inaugural back in 1888
when hundred grand purses still
were considered extravagant.
Nor will there be a handsome
Challedon to win as the Marylander
did in 1910, or Big Pebble in the
last race before the war.
No Shortage of Glamour.
But there will be as fine a field
as could be persuaded to enter, in
cluding two candidates who just a
few months ago showed their heels
in the 100000 Santa Anita Handi-
cap to a mighty stake champion
named Armed. BY name, Olhaverry
and See -Tee-See.
And there definitely will be no
shortage of glamour in the park,
what with the usual turnout of the
so-called personality people packed
in with $4,000 or more persons.
They'll get the afternoon off from
the movie factories for the Gold
Cup, and what they don't know
about prices and places is not worth
mentioning.
They also come prepared to spend
the afternoon. and spend. Holly
wood Park wasn't named accident
ally and a sizeable portion of the
1863 900 bet on the Gold Cup alone
last year came from Mayerville.
Possible Starters.
A run down of possible starters
goes like this: Olhaverry, See-Tee-
See, Honeymoon, T'riplicate, Cover
Up, Please Me, Let's Dance, Burn
ing Dream, Texas Sandman, Ell
Lobo, Autocrat, Paperboy and an
other possibility or so. -.
Yankee Valor, collie stricken, was
declared out. There may be a sur
prise nominee or two tomorrow, but
the Gold Cup is set, regardless OF
the field, as the high point OF sum-
mer racing at Hollywood Park.

BALTIMORE, July 24.-The Bal
timore Colts moved their All-Amer-
let Football Conference team up to
an even 70 today, day before open
ing of training camp at Hershey, Pa.
Coming in with the necessary sig
natures were the contracts of Ber-
nard( Buster) Mertes. former Uni
versity of Iowa star, and Owen
Goodnight from Hardin-Simmons
of Texas.
Mertes, 195-pound halfback,
formerly with the Chicago Cardinals
of the National League and more
recently with the Los Angeles Dons
of All-America, had been consid-
cred Colt property for some time
but just got around to signing.
The top four clubs of the con-
ference several months ago agreed
to supply Baltimore with one play
er each of varsity caliber. Mertes
was the Dons' gift.
General Manager Jack Espey OF
the Colts described Goodnight as
a 205-pound. 6-footer who plays
quarterback. Goodnight was with
the Cleveland Rams in 1941, later
entered the service.

'Whiteford, , Southpaw
Wins on Extra Hole
In McCaI|um Golf
By MerreII WhittIesey

Back in 1921, a group soliciting
funds for the National Open cham
pionship to be held at Columbia
Country Club asked Attorney Roger
Whiteford, then a social member OF
the club, to make a contribution.
why should ~" Whiteford said, II
don't know anything about the game,
I've never seen anybody hit a golf
ball."
Whiteford's friends took him in
hand and the next day he was on
the first tee, with borrowed left
handed clubs and tennis shoes. He
liked the game. He took a lesson
from Fred Mcleod, bought 100 prac-
tice balls and spent his spare time,
which wasn't much, smoothing his
southpaw swing.
Winner in Play0ff.
Whiteford, now president Of the
Burning Tree Club, champion of its
golfers, also is the Middle Atlantic
senior golf titlist and the first hold
er of the Walter McCallum Me-
mortal Trophy.
The 6O-year-old attorney won the
title over a field of So seniors of SIS
and over yesterday at Burning Tree
after a playoff with Walter R.
Tuckerman, one of the founders of
the Burning Tree and Congressional
Clubs, and one of Washington S
greatest golfng figures.
The host club seniors tied with 78
and Whiteford won a playoff on the
first hole. But that 78 was not a
particularly good round for either.
Whiteford, in fact, was disappointed.
Only last week he played the back
nine in 80 strokes, four under par,
and he usually shoots rs or better.
Pro Max Elbin said his club presi-

handed golfer he ever has seen.
Tuckerman Takes Low Net.
The 65-year-old Tuckerman, Mid

Again charges of favoritism and

Manager Ossie Bluege says Robert

that post, citing. reasons for the
decision.
Robertson is batting feeble .l66

who Is employed chiefly against left.

Mcbride appears to be a victim OF
discrimination, but Bluege denies
it and recites few supported facts.
Mcbride to Face Lefties.
Mcbride has demonstrated very
convincingly that he's no threat
against righthanded pitching" says
Ossie. Sure, Sherry will strike out,
a lot, but I think he's more OF a
threat against righthanders than
Mcbride.
Sherry has good arm and he
runs well-he'u steal an occasional
base. He won't hit for much OF an
average, but he's always dangerous.
Mcbride has given us good job, but
the value of his hitting Is shown
only against southpaws."
That isn't just conversation, for
against right-handed pitching the
right handed hitting Mcbride dis
plays a meager .186 average since
Joining the Mats. He has been tested
with a view toward installing him
regularly in left field, but his in

ers stymied him.

man to have around, particularly
when a southpaw is working. He'll

but against a right-hander I'll stick
to Robertson.
Fifth Position for Robby.
Robertson Is playing his fifth
position with the Mats. He previ-
ously has been tried at third base,

Bluege. There he can capitalize on

II have to admire Robbie's spirit"

him up. but he never lets it get him

Routed by Browns
BY the Associofed Press

Ralph Kiner, who represents ons
of the few bright spots in the Pitts
burgh Pirates dismal doings this
season, today had realized one of
his three main ambitions and stood
a fairly good chance to achieve the
other two.
The hard hitting Bucco outfielder,

runs batted in as well as set new
Pirate homer mark, walloped his
Oath and 25th four -gagger Of the
campaign last night to break the
Pittsburgh record held jointly by
himself and Johnny Rizzo. Rizzo
had smashed % round-trippers in
1888 and Ralph duplicated the feat
last year.
Kiner now is only three homers
behind Johnny Mize of the New
York Giants, who leads both majors
with %. He also is in the running
for RBI honors, having sent Ct
runners over the plate to rank
fourth behind New York's trio OF
Willard Marshall (75), Mize (73)
and Walker Cooper CID.
Kiner Bats in Four Runs.
Ralph batted in four runs last
night to lead the Pirates to Ga
victory over the Philadelphia Phil
lies. The win moved the Pirates to
within half game of seventh place.
Hank Greenberg also homered for
the Bucs, his 10th of the year.
Signs of an impending stretch
fight for the National League flag
between Brooklyn and St. Louis be-
came more evident when both the
Dodgers and Cardinals won their
games, the Dodgers defeating the
Reds at Cincinnati, So, and the
Cards nipping the New York Giants
in ST. Louis, 6-5.
Tied at % at the end of seven
innings, the Brooks got out front
when Eddie Miksis singled in Carl
Furillo in the eighth inning. They
added two more in the ninth when
Dixie Walker, who drove in one of
the Dodgers two first-innings runs,
doubled home two.
The never say die" st. Louis
Cardinals rallied for four runs in
the bottom half of the ninth to come
from behind and nip the Giants. In
whipping the New Workers for the
eighth time in their last 10 meet
ings, the Cards showed the Giants
into third place and advanced to
within a half game of the berth.
Braves Maintain Pace.
The runnerup Boston Braves re-
manned five games behind the
Dodgers by thrashing the Cubs in
Chicago, 1874. Bob Elliott. who had
gone II for 0 up to yesterday, hit a
grand slam homer in the first in
ming to make right-hander Johnny
Sain's 18th victory one of his easiest.
Lanky Ellis Kinder allowed only
six hits and Willard Brown cracked
four singles in five times at bat to
lead the last-place st. Louis Browns
