from the class C Western League

professional football.
Aberson, a halfback on the
Green Bay Packers last year,
swung from the heels, and from
the crack of the bat there was
no doubt where the ball was
going.
Going into today's finale
against the Cubs, Manager Shot
ton named Joe Hatten to pitch
against Bruin Lefty Bob Chip
man. There was a possibility
that First Baseman Jackie Rob-
inson would be back, in the
Brooklyn lineup although his
strained back still was bothering
him. = -
Shotton and Robinson went
into huddle before yesterdays
game and when the fleet Negro
star said he didn't think he could
play his best, Burt. excused him
from the game.
Sure, we miss Robinson lot"
Shotton told reporters, "bEt no
more than we'd miss any regular.
You have to be at full strength at
this stage of the fame"
Manager Charley Grimm Of
the Cubs said he believed Robin
sons absence was serious hand
leap to the Dodgers.
There is no doubt about it,
Robinson has been the teams
spark and his speed is enough to
decide any close game" said
Grimm.

Margin Is II Games
After 4-Run CIout
Gives Cubs Victory
By jack Hand
Associated Press Sports Writer

Somebody should have warned
the Brooklyn Dodgers about half
backs. Here they go traipsing West,
secure in their own little baseball
world with never a thought about
a man-in-motion. and in their first
start they are mousetrapped by an
ex-Green Bay Packer named Cliff
Aberson.
Aberson, a fellow who appears to
know his own mind, is said to have
threatened to desert baseball for
football, his first love, if he wasn't
moved up from Des Moines of the
Western League to the Chicago
| Cubs.
Yesterday when Manager Charley
Grimm sent him to the plate as an
eighth-inning pinch hitter with the
bases loaded and the Cubs trailing
Brooklyn, 80, Aberson belted Vic

a grand slam homer.

one-hit ball game for seven innings,

Defense Chief Worry
As Redskins Battle
With Lions Tonight
By Lewis F. Atchison
Si1r Staff Correspondent

DENVER, Sept. 1O-For a team
recently fattened by a 81 margin
the Washington Redskins seem hap
PLY unconcerned about their Of
tense as they await the kickoff OF
tonight's fracas with the Detroit
Lions here. Defense is the night
mare busting in on Coach Turk Ed
wards dream of an Eastern title
but not offense.
The total of Sc yards running and
152 passing picked up against the
Rams last Friday was rather
skinny compared with the harvest
Of yardage and points reaped by
Los Angeles, but it still isn't any
thing to fret about. AS long as the
Tribe has Sam Baugh to throw the
ball and a couple of ends or half
backs who can hang on to same, it
will have a highly productive Of
Tense. Anything the infantrymen,
such as Dick Todd, Bob Nussbaumer
or Tom Farmer, add to that is
velvet.
But facing a Detroit team that
features a driving ground game
woven around sure-footed Bill Dud-
ley, the Skins are in the unenviable
position of trying to figure out a de-
Tense that will stop the Lions and
still save their ball carriers from

Robu's Old Leg Injury Provides
Kew Question for Hoyu Eleven

consciously the opposing players are
going to do some hard tackling, and
possibly some roughing up, when
they get hold of Raba. Raba isn't
worried about that and thinks he
can take anything anybody can dish
out.
He hasn't slowed a minute IN
Georgetown's scrimmages this week
and really is doing good work. His
ball handling from the T forma-
ton is a pleasure to behold, his
passing is perhaps the best on the
team and he's a fast, elusive scat
back when running. His selection
of plays generally is good, too.
Coach Jack Hagerty's worries
about the center spot are diminish
ing at Georgetown. Bob Kelly
seems to have the inside track as
holdover, but giving him good
fight for the job is big Phil Funk
a Wilson High boy who played In
the backfield last year.
All the hard work George Wash
ington's footballers have been put
ting in down at Camp Let's sud-
denly is beginning to show results
Plays are beginning to click, new
spirit is evident on the club and
the running game is showing more
speed. Punting and passing still
are questionable, but Coach Skip
Stanley is showing a few smiles
now that the team has three rough
scrimmages under its belt.
Particularly pleasing is the way
Fullback Bill Spangler is improving
Stanley coached Bill at the San
Diego naval base during the wal
and knows what the boy can do, but
for the first time during these fall
drills, Spangler is playing up to
Skip's expectations.
An experiment was tried at Mary
land yesterday, with Coach Jim
Tatum shifting John Baroni from
the backfield, where he has plenty
of players, to end. Baroni is fast for
195-pounder, and his 6-foot 1-inch
height will be an asset for pass
catching. He has plenty of speed
and is a good defensive player.

One of the important questions
about the Georgetown football team
this year is hcw Elmer Raba's leg
will stand up. He's potentially a
star quarterback and should have
a big year If he doesn't get injured
as he was last year.
Elmer himself says he's in great
shape and isn't worried. He gets
a daily inspection from Trainer
Johnny Williams, not because he
needs it, but just as a precautionary
measure. Johnny can find nothing
wrong, and doesn't believe Raba will
have any more trouble.
One cause for worry, though, Is
that everybody on every team
Georgetown will meet knows that
Raba was injured last year. He
could be the sparkplug of the team
this season, and consciously or I'M

West Coast Lass, II,
Is Surprise Star
Al Forest Hills
BY the Associated Press

FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Sept TO-
1t seems possible that in Beverly
Baker, a pretty l7-year-old lass
from Santa Monica, Calf, the
United States has the forerunner of
a new strain of tennis players which
will outmode the current crop of
! racket swingers like the f1ivver sup
planted the spring wagon.
Beverly is both revolutionary and
cute as button. She has no fore
hand, in the accepted sense, nor does
she possess a backhand. She simply
whales a tennis ball first with her
hight hand and then with her left.
| Her only bow to convention is in
serving exclusively from the star
board.
Already Beverly, playing in the
national championships at Forest
Hills for the first time, has dem
onstrated that she is remarkably
hard to beat. BY next year, or the
year after, she will be up there
battling for the chan pionship as
sure as there Is a tennis court in
California.
Presses Miss Brough.
Beverly made her real big time
bow yesterday in stadium match
against Louise Brough, probably the
second-best woman player in the
world. She was nervous, Of course,
and she was beaten, but not until
she had made a vivid impression
on the crowd by the obvious eff
cheney of her unothordox tactics.
She broke through Miss Brough's
service at the outset. and in the first
set carried four games to deuce 1t
took all the pressure the older star
could exert to achieve the upper
hand, and it was not until well into
the second set that Beverly lost some
of her control that it became a one
sided match. The scores were GO,
e1.

Victors in PIayoff

Buffalo and Syracuse. the two
underdogs in the international
League playoff scramble, are away
and running at the expense of the
champion Jersey City Giants and
Montreal Royals, who struggled
down to the last day of the regular
season in a tight pennant race.
Paul Richards Buffalo Bisons
knocked off the Little Giants, 81
in dramatic fashion on homer by
Earl Rapp with one out and one
man on base in the ninth inning
before a Jersey crowd of 14,096 last
eight.
Syracuse knocked out Ed Heusser
early and piled up six-run lead
that Just lasted for 6-5 decision
HOWE Fox was knocked out of the
box in the sixth but Mike Schultz
came in to put down the threat
When Schultz ran into heavy going
in the ninth, Alex Mustaikis put
out the blaze.
:. Each game was the opener of a
best-of-seven semif1inal series.

sew City; Syracuse at Montreal.

it up and the bases were full. Clyde
Mccullough famed. Then came
Aberson to make it 4-3 and cut the
Dodger lead to AZ games.
The st. Louis Cards, whose season
record is dotted with missed oppor-
tunities, didn't fail to take advan-
tage of this one, moving down the
Philadelphia Phils. 20, in a night
game to slice that full game off the
Brooks lead.
Bucky Walters of the Cincinnati
Reds turned in a job that would
have been enough to grab the head
lines most days, when he celebrated
Walters night by banking Boston,
20, with four hits. After accepting
"a new car and other gifts, Walters
moved down the Braves for his
198th major league victory and 42d
shutout, tops among the active
hurlers in the league.
The New York Giants continued
to make the most of their speciality,
the home run, downing Pittsburgh,
81, on Jack Lohrke's blast over the
fence with one on IN the ninth. 1t
was Clint Hartung's ninth triumph
and Preacher Roe's 18th setback.
Red Sox Edge Tigers.
American League action centered
around the second-place scrap be-
tween Boston and Detroit as the New
York Yankees and Cleveland were
not scheduled.
With the help Of Jake Jones'
three-run homer and some relief
pitching by Johnny Murphy, Joe
Dobson COPIED his 18th game for
Boston by 5-3 edge over Detroit
The result left the Red Sox game
and half ahead of the third place
Tigers.
AL zarilla's triple, followed by jeff
Heath's fly, enabled st. Louis Ellis
Kinder to down Philadelphia, 10,
despite three-hit job by Phil

Cub Rookie Cliff Aberson's game
Dustin homer yesterday-menace
the Brooklyn Dodgers more than
the St. Louis Cardinals in the
National League stretch run.
I'm not worried about those

Shotton yesterday before the
,luckless Dodger opener against
the Cubs, who dropped Brook
lyn to within ~ games of the
Cardinals as st. Louis won 2 to 0
over Philadelphia.
It's guys like these Cubs and
the Braves and the Giants and
the Pirates we have to beat right

Aberson's eighth inning grand
slam clout against little Vic
lombard yesterday was one OF
those things every rookie dreams
about. Prohibiting for Pitcher
Johnny Schmitz with the bases
loaded and one out and the Cubs
trailing, 80, Aberson smashed
Lombardis first pitch over the
left-field wall to give the Cubs a

Lyons Calls App|ing
Vastly Underrated;
IChisox Rout Mats
By Burton Hawkins

| Manager Ted Lyons of Chicago's
White Sox was peeling off a soggy
sweatshirt and saying, Yeah, Luke
still means and groans as much
as ever. He's always telling me
about his bad luck, or how that
leg he broke 10 years ago is giving
him trouble, but all I have to do
is threaten to yank him out of the
lineup and he suddenly forgets his
ailments"
Luke Appling. who admits to 50
years, established an American
League record last night when he
trotted out to his position and
played his 1,986th game at shortstop,
fracturing the former mark held
by Roger Peckinpaugh as the Sox
Inundated the Mats, 6-l, before a
gathering of 6,80l.
Il thing Luke is one of the most
moderated players of his time"
continued Lyons. He looks a little
awkward out there but he covers
considerable ground. I think he's
cinch to play another year and
do very we'll He's a great COM
petitor and a fine fellow
Below 300 Only Once.
Twice American League batting
champion, Appling has hit below
300 only once since 1882. In 1912
he batted 1852, but he bounced back
to hit 1928 the following year, which
was good enough to lead the league.
He also topped the league in 1886,
when he compiled 1888 average.
-Four times Appling has led the
leagues shortstops in errors, but it
is significant that in each of those
seasons he also handled more assists
than any other shortstop in the
circuit. He has appeared in four
All-Star games and displays a .444
batting average as a result of this
activity.

his physical condition, Appling now

As Hazard Fades

BALTIMORE, Sept. 10.-The
water hazard at the ninth hole
of the Bonnie View course was
missing today, drained out
through q blasted dam, and
frustrated golfers who lost balls
and tempers there were being
eyed with suspicion.
Greenskeeper Norman Gosnell
discovered the mirage in reverse
when instead Of a quarter-acre
lake of water he saw only a big
mud hole.
Investigation led him to a big
break in the middle of a 16-inch
concrete dam. Police theorized
dynamite was used after finding
a fuse on the scene.

Yesterday at 70 after two-week

DR.. Ellis visited his patients in
Northwest Baltimore for ~ years in

dignity and personality.
DR.. Ellis, who was born in Mills

minister, started as a teacher and
once was principal of the Newark

medicine in 1900
