A pioneer in the designing of the
drst Farm Freezer built by the
Wilson Cabinet Company in 1888
is Howard A. Green, a craftsman
in the engineering department.
Greenie, as he is called by his
friends, started work at Wilson's
eleven years ago, when he was en-
ployed in the carpenter shop. Two
years later, the shop was divided
into two departments, and he was
put in charge of the complete as
sembly of walk-in and reach-in
coolers, both sectional and self
contained.
In 1912, Greenie was transferred
to the engineering department as
craftsman. His work includes the
blueprinting of all sectional model
walk-in and reach-in coolers and
Farm Freezer cabinets. Starting
from rough drawings, to tracings,
then to the finished blueprints, the
drafting process includes every
item from the smallest nail of the
most intricate cooler to the very
crates in which they are shipped to
all parts of the country.
Son of the late Frank S. Green,
Sr., well known Smyrna contractor
and builder, and the late Mrs.
Lydia G. Green, he attended Smyr-
ma School and later worked with
his father.

He defeated Bill Ezinicki Of Tor

Yorosz Sees Battle With B. B,
As Tuneup for Biqger Bouts

Tommy Yarosz of Pittsburgh, op-
ponent for Bee Bee Washington in
the Grifith Stadium fight tomor-
row night, is ready and anxious to
clean out both the middleweight
and ught-heavyweight divisions. Or
so says his manager, Bunny Buntag
Bunny has q tale of woe to tell
of how everybody is dodging his
boy. 1.-THE middleweights won't fight
him; they say he's a light-heavy.
The light-heavies won't fight him,
they say he's too small. I tell you,
everybody's lodging him.
But well fight 'em all I got the
sweetest fighter in the world here
and he's going to be champ before
long. Maybe double champ if we
can only get the right guys In the
ring with him."
Buntag says they'll take on Rocky
Graziano tomorrow, or Tony Zale,
or any of the ranking middleweights.
And the same goes for ,175-pounders.
They're working on bout with Ez-
zard Charles, top-ranking contender,
right now. And they'll take Gus
Lesnevich, the champ, any time too.
Record Shows Tommy Is Good.
AS far as Buntag is concerned,
Tommy is the most wonderful fight
er in the world. He's as proud of
Tommy as though he already wore
two or three boxing crowns. Those
who've listened to Buntag in action
get the idea that he isn't worried
at all about the outcome of tomor-
row nights bout at Griffith Stadium
Bee Bee was willing to fight again,
there's money in it and If that's the
way they feel, we'll take 'em on
that sums up Bunny's reaction.
AS to Tommy's fighting proves,
it's well attested, by the record
books. Sixty wins in 81 starts, with
a current string Of 46 triumphs
In workouts at Turner's Arena lat,
last week he showed himself E
straight-away puncher and fair
boxer. He's not a dancer like his
brother, Teddy, the former middle
weight champ. That's one thing I
wish you'd straighten the public out
on" pleads Buntag. Teddy was
the fancy boy. But Tommy here,
he's a hitter, a slugger or puncher
or whatever you want to call it. He
hits twice as hard as Teddy ever
did"

Strunuhun to Hit
Golf Peuk-Evuns
BY the Assosiated Press

MEMPHIS, Tenn. Aug. Is
Present-day golf is game of
muscle men," the veteran Chick
Evans said today, labelling pow
erized Frank Stranahan as a
good bet" to duplicate Bobby
Jones famous grand slam Of 1880
"Stranahan has a wonderful
game and. what's more, the brute
strength that now seems so nee
essary." the 57-year -old Chicago
ironmaster added. "I wouldn't be
at all surprised to see him do the
trick"
The feat would involve winning
the United States Open and
Amateur and the British Open
and Amateur all In a single year.
Actually it only amounts to
winning the United States cham
pionships since British golf has
deteriorated so badly and no
longer offers much test" Evans
said.
Young Stranahan has the golf
and the opportunity, consider
him an even greater amateur
threat in big-time golf today
than Bobby Jones was in his
prime.
And Bud Ward is almost
equally as big a threat"

Bee Bee took that last fight against
Yarosz-he lost a 10-rounder to
Tommy back in February-on short

For the record, Buntag also says
that YaroA took that fight on short

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 16.-Tailor-
ing the Redskins to the National
Football Leagues 35-player limit will
be more difncult than merely PEN
cilling out the necessary number Of
names. Kt's a tight At at several
positions and Coach Turk Edwards
has decided to let the boys kill off
one another in scrinmages that will
feature camp life until the intra-
squad game at Santa Anna August
2s.
Edwards probably will keep six
ends, six tackles, five guards and
three centers. That leaves Is back
field vacancies. Under league rules
another player must be cut after the
first league game, but that will be
simple compared to looping of IA.
One of the keenest battles is at
end, where the Tribe expects to be
stronger this season. Doug Turley,
Johnny Kovatch and Jim PEBBLES
are back from last year, but face
stiff competition to hold their jobs.
Most of the competition comes from
Hugh Taylor, whose pass catching
featured the first two weeks Of train
ing camp, Paul Mckee, the Syracuse
ace, and Joe Duckworth.
Mckee had a perth cinched when
he and Halfback Jim Hefti took of
yesterday for New York, where they
will play In an all-star game. That
leaves eight candidates for five posi-
tions, including Terry Tereshinski,
who will play in the all-star game at
Chicago this week and who comes to
the Skins so highly touted Edwards
is certain to keep him.
Blond Johnny Lookabaugh, the big
end from Maryland, still is in the
fight, but an ailing leg has slowed
him down and Tribe officials wonder
If his old jinx Is back to haunt him.
The tackle situation might be set
tied. Only six are left, not counting
Don Bunee, who will be tried at
center, but the coaches are expert
menting with guards Bert Dressle
and Bernie Brosky and might switch
enc or both to tackle If it would
strengthen the line. The Tribe has
good defensive tackles in John
Adams, Don Avery. Fred Boensch
and Ed Cifers. Cliff White still is
doubtful and Ernie Williamson Is
woefully green, but you can't count
