experience with all phases of indoor
sports. That experience will stand
him in good stead in planning the
Armory's future.
A former coach of the Washing
ton Redskins, Bergman, too, has
had enough professional sports eX-
perience to give him solid footing IN
that field. He said he would not
rush in and try to promote all kinds
of sports without carefully survey
ing the situation. His first aim is
to put the Armory on a firm finan-
cial foundation from which he can
build a program of year-around at
fractions of national as well as local
interest.
Coached Redskins to Title.
Bergman's coaching career began
at New Mexico A. and M. College
where he was appointed football
coach on the recommendation OF
the late Knute Rockne. From there
ne went to the University of Dayton,
then to the University of Mime
sofa where he was backfeld coach
under Dr.. Clarence Spears, and later
to Catholic University.
He succeeded Ray Flaherty as
coach of the Redskins in 1943 when
Flaherty entered the Navy, and
after leading the Tribe to the Ma
tional Football Leagues Eastern
division crown resigned to accept
a position as sports commentator
on WRC. He will continue to fill
this position as long as it does
not conflict with his new duties.
Bergmans 1885 Catholic Uni
versity football team played in the
Orange Bowl, January /, 1886, and
defeated the University of Mlssis-
sippi. 20-9, in thrilling game. His

BOSTON, July 7.-"There is the

the Cleveland Indians recently
pointing to sturdy Tom Mcbride. "a
don't believe, he has an enemy in
baseball"
If the Mats part time outielder

left handed pitchers, has any
enemies in the industry, they prob
ably are among those same south
paws.
Mcbride launched the 1948 season
in gobs of glory. In his first time
at bat he connected for a grand
slam home run against the New
York Yankees Ed Lopat, buddy
during the war when both worked
in Texas as Navy civilian employees
and roomed together.

Tom has been pa hitter, but
against southpaws he can show a
fancy 1896 mark with 10 safeties in
48 tries. 1t adds to a combined
1926 figure against all pitching
which qualities him as some sort OF
freak among the eak-hittine
Mats.

Walter Masterson, who has hao
more ups and downs this year than
a roller coaster, was on the down
grade last night and the AS mauleo
him for four runs before he could
escape in the second inning.
Eddie Joost rammed home run
into the left field bleachers to open
the game and the AS came up with
another run in the first inning on
singles by Ray Coleman, Ferris Fain
and Hank Majeski.
Philadelphia boosted it's advan-
tage to 40 in the second inning
when Herman Franks walked and
Brissie, Joost and Barney McCosky
singled but the Mats picked up run

Philadelphia made it ST. in the
