Heurich Brewers baseball team

day on the West Ellipse.
After coping the first-half title,
the Brewers appeared cinch for

clear possession of the title.
Naiman's fought the Brewers to
two ties before bowling. 6-5. Thurs

Over 1000 fans weathered the

five runs in the seventh. Rain in
tervened and the score was reverted
to the previous inning.
Biggest blow of the day, a home

in 1888, 1902 in 1899 and .318 in 1912
He hit .293 in 1910 and .294 in l943
and l945. Employed sparingly by
the Mats this season, his current
average is .l50.
Dispatched to the Cleveland In
dians last year, Case was ailing most
of the season and slumped to .225.
He returned to the Mats this spring
in exchange for pitcher Roger Wolff.
Hap Hardell, Georgetown track
coach who trained Case for a race
with Ben Chapman which never
materialized due to an injury sus-
tanned by George, stated Case un-
doubtedly would have been the
worlds greatest sprinter had he been
trained exclusively as a track man.
A graduate of Peddie Prep, Case
was offered 27 collegiate scholarships
for his baseball and basket ball abil-
ity. He never participated in track
while in school. but under the guild
ance of Coach Clyde Milan, Ty
Cobb's base-stealing rival, became
the American Leagues most feared
runner.
1t was the continual pounding
necessitated by sliding into bases
which created the spinal condition
which is forcing Case to retire. He
spent more than $3.50 last winter
attempting to determine the cause
of his back trouble, which was re-
vealed two days ago by X-ray. :

Bored Redskins SET
For Rough Work;
Gold Is Released
By Lewis F. Atchison
Stor Stoff Correspondent

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 9.-The
Redskins are ready to scrimmage
but Coach Turk Edwards has not
yet set the date for the first real
action of training camp. A session
of rough work would be welcomed
by the squad, which is beginning to
find running through signals bit
boring after a week of camp life.
Fullback Bill Gold has been
dropped for the year. He was rated
one of the leading candidates for a
first-string berth until an old shin
bone injury laid him low. 1t is an
old college injury, Gold said, and
feels like a knife sticking in the leg
muscle every time he tries to cut
sharply. Bill intends to return to
Tennessee and expects to be back
with the Tribe next August.
Squad Is Photographed.
Little was accomplished yesterday,
when most of the morning and
matinee drills were devoted to
photographing the squad.
Edwards grumbied- like hungry
bear when the swarm of cameramen
descended on the field. and while he
managed to work in dummy scrim-
mage in the afternoon the broad
beamed strategist put 1t down as a
day wasted.
The Skins now are beginning to
feel the full effects of the weeks
work. Jim Youel, Sammy Baugh
and George Wilde complained Of
sore arms yesterday. It's nothing
new and nothing to get excited
about, as it happens every year.
Baugh, who varies his throws by
pitching sidearm, was the least
affected, but it was noticeable that
Sam tried no long passes.
Edwards has not yet put together
any backfield combinations that
have look of spermanency. Baugh.
Ralph Ruthstrom, Tom Farmer and
Bob NusSbaumer ran in one group
today, while Youel, Jim Gillette, AL
Couppee and Dick Poillon we're in
anOCEeT.
Shaughnessy Is Pleased.
Wilde was quarter-tacking
third group that included Dick
Todd, Jack Jenkins and Jim Gaff- =
ney, but they we're shuff1ed several
times before the afternoon was over.
Clark Shaughnessy, the architect
of the Skins T. can't hide his salts
faction with the progress shown
thus far. He thinks the backs will
have a lot more finesse this year
and subsequently should click on
plays that last year appeared more
like pedestrian traffic jams than
football strategy. Some signals are
being muffed in dummy scrimmage
But mostly by linemen. They aren't t
supposed to be too smart or they
wouldn't be linemen.

Case, With Spine AiIing, to Quit
Baseball; Griffmen Ruined Out
By Burton Hawkins

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 9.-Speedy
George Case, Washington reserve
outflelder and six times champion
base stealer of the American
League. will retire from baseball
after the Mats double-header with
the Athletics here tomorrow, it was
learned today.
Plagued by a troublesome back,
Case reached his decision to aban-
don baseball when X-rays disclosed
a spinal condition which may be
remedied only by operation. An IL
year major league veteran, Case
will return to his residence in Tren-
ton, N. j., tomorrow night and de-
vote full time to his sports equip
ment concern.
Case, who spent 10 years with
Washington and one with Cleve-
land, holds major league record
of leading. in thefts for five sue
cessive years. He led the majors
from 1889 through 1943 with the
Mats and also in 1916 with Cleve-
land.
The fastest player Of his time,
Case repeatedly accepted sprint
challenges and in a 100-yard dash
last year at Griffith Stadium whisked
over turf in 10 seconds wearing
a baseball uniform and in base
ball spikes. He was clocked by
four. AAU officials on that occasion,
when he defeated Gil Coan by 6
feet, but many fans refuse to be-
lieve he had covered the distance
only -tenths of a second off
the world record.
Case quieted the skeptics later
in the year at Cleveland. He sprint
ed 100 yards against Jesse Owens,
famed track star. Owens won in
9.9 seconds but George again sprint
ed the century in 10 seconds fiat.
He received $500 for beating Coan
and another $500 for losing to
Owens.
His speed also brought Case 500
in 1884 when he circled the bases
at Griffith Stadium in 1875 seconds
to beat the previously accepted 1873
seconds mark of Hans Lobert.
Case never lost sprint to base,

dium he defeated Johnny Lindell.

Extremely proud of his base-run-
ming feats. George was challenged
seriously by Wally Moses, then of
Chicago, in 1943. Moses finished
that season with ST stolen bases,
but the champion was Case, who
stole five bases in the final two
games of the year against Detroit
despite the handicap of a pulled
muscle in his right leg. Case stole
nine bases in the final week of that
campaign with his leg tightly band
