gated saddle, ladies hunters, open
hunters, a class for horses owned by
Montgomery and Howard County

Worshum Picked
As Ryder Cupper

NEW YORK, Sept. 1o.-An
American Ryder Cup team listing
only two holdover members from
the squad which met Britain's
best professional golfers in 1887
was announced by PEA President
Ed Dudley for the postwar re-
sumption of the matches at Port
land, Greg, November l and 2.
The 10-man squad Is made up
of Lew Worsham, Byron Nelson,
Ben Hogan, Jimmy Demaret, Sam
Snead, Lloyd Mangrum, Ed Oil
yer, Herman Keiser, Herman
Barron and E. j. Dutch" Harri-
son. Nelson and Snead are the
veterans of the 1887 match, won
by the Americans at Southport,
England, 8 to 4.
The team this year was selected
for the first time on point sys-
tenn based on tournament per-
Torrance since January l, 1916.

becoming hit-and-run victims. At
left half, for example, Todd is out,
leaving only Dick Poillon and Eddie
Saenz to do the police work.
At right half they have Bob De-
fruiter, rather fragile speedster,
Nussbaumer, another lad built for
speed and not durability, Jim Gill.
lette, and Farmer. The latter two
looked good on offense against the
Rams and If Edwards keeps them
there he'll have to juggle his plans
to rest them when the Lions have
the ball.
Ironically, 1t seems that the best
defense backs also happen to be
best on offense, although you can't
prove it by the Los Angeles game.
Thus, Edwards problem seems to be
developing secondary defense that
can do the job without calling for
help from the little fellows who
should be fresh for offensive work.
Jim Gaffney is expected to get a
real shot at left half in tonight's
game and it is an opportunity long
overdue. A hard runner and not too
slow, Gaffney has been used strictly
on defense although he has done
everything asked of him. He can
move into the starting backfield If
he shows anything tonight. George
Wilde, another halfback, still is
bothered by a bad knee and this
injury eventually may cost him q
berth with the club this year.
Baugh to Direct Team.
Baugh will be at the throttle when
the. Skins go on offensive tonight,
but Edwards has indicated that Jim
Youel and Tom Mont will have a
large share in running the team.
Baugh could play the entire game
without exerting himself, but the
Board of Strategy wants to work
Youel more and to give Mont some
badly needed pro experience.
While the Washington eleven will
go into action in the role of under
dog for the second consecutive
game because of injuries, the Lions
are only slight favorites and there
is a lot of sentiment for the Tribe
because of their sensational game
here last year. Baugh demonstrated
he still has some touchdown pitches
in his wiry arm and each practice

Hard Fellow to Play.
Appling broke into the league in
1880 and outfielders still can't figure
how to play him. For right
handed hitter he whacks a lot of
hits to right field, but he pulls
enough safeties into left field to
keep opposing outfelders jittery.
He's a pet peeve Of numerous pitch
ers, fouling off more strikes than
any player Of the era. A grand
stand fan in Chicago who hasn't
been clipped by foul off Appling's
bat is considered an oddly.
Appnng Is hobbling along with a
respectable .312 average these days

IA of 81 games to the White Sox.
It will be a happy event for the
Mats tonight when they battle Chi
cago for the last time this year. The
White Sox have represented misery
to the Mats, who were beaten for the
fourth time last night by Ed Lopat
who captured his 18th victory
checking the Mats with seven hits.
Lopat wasn't extended. The Sox
blasted Scott Cary for four runs In

60 lead and the customers then set

pumped across two runs with a

expense.
Lopat had limited the Mats to
three hits-two of them tainted

duced Washington's lone run.

Rams Acquire Rights
To Army's Davis
II He Becomes Pro
Nv tho Assoeiated Press


LOS ANGELES, Sept. 10.-The
Rams and the Dons and the ALL
America Glenns, Davis and Dobbs,
brewed q potent potion of pro foot
ball rivalry today for Southern
California grid fans.
It's the second season in this
sports loving town for both teams,
the National League Rams having
transferred from Cleveland and the
Al-America Conference Dons hav-
ing developed with that new cir
cult.
Owner Dan Reeves of the Rams
latched on to the league player
rights to Davis, the Army's ALL
America team halfback for three
seasons, 1914, As and '46, If the 81
year-old star decides to leave the
Army for pro football.
It. was only on Monday that Gen
eral Manager Harry Thayer of the
Dons announced acquisition OF
Dobbs, former Tulsa University back
who was the passing and kicking
leader and most valuable player OF
the All-America Conference last
year.
Reeves, making his surprise an
nouncement from Des Moines, Iowa
where the Rams meet the Boston
Yanks In a charity contest tonight
said he didn't know whether Davis
evea would play pro football, but
believed that If he did it would be
in the best interests of the National
League to have him play In South
ern California.
He's a Regular Army lieutenant
now stationed at Fort Riley, Kans.
He was hospitalized at the fort las
night and unavailable for comment
Reeves said he got the league
player rights to Davis from the
Detroit Lions, the Rams in ex.
change giving up their first and
