willing to concede they're IN the
wrong race. They'll be happy to
drop down in class next week after
mingling with first division clubs in
IA straight games and confine their
ambitions to advancing toward sixth
place.
As they prepared to tangle with
the Red Sox here today in an at.
tempt to fracture . six-same losing
streak the Mats were convinced
they've been keeping company with
baseball's high society. In their last
IL games against Boston, Philadel-
phia and New York the Mats can
display only two victories.
So, after tomorrow's tussle here,
the Mats will welcome the sixth
place st. Louis Browns to WASH
ington enthusiastically. The Mats
have dropped 20 Of their last IS
games and are in q mood for relief.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2l.-The Chicago
Cardinals, steam-rollering to the
most decisive victory In the 15-year
series, handed Frank Leahy's college
All-Stars a singing football lesson,
$50, before 10l ,220 at Soldiers Field
last night.
The All-Stars, who thought they
had 80 much talent they could ex-
pertinent with a T-formation and
single wing attack against the
Cardinals, were nearly swept out of
the mammoth lake-front stadium by
the National Football League cham
pions.
All-Star Defenses Ripped.
The slick, bruising Cardinals
ripped the All-Star defenses to
shreds with explosive running and
deadly passing of Coach Jimmy Con-
zelmans version Of the T.
Charley Trippi, playing his fifth
time in the Ail-Star spectacle-he
played four times with the collegians

the ball
Trippi, who scored the final Cardi-
nal touchdown on a 13-yard pass
from Quarterback Ray Mailouf, car

LOS ANGELES. Aug. 21.-Tommy
Mont, whose importance to the
Redskins increases almost daily,
may get another test tomorrow
when the squad plays its annual
East-West game at Long Beach.
This time the former Maryland
quarterback may be tried in kick
Ing of, a department in which the
team Is not strong at this writing.
Jim PEBBLES puts lot of foot into
the ball and boots it high and hand
some!y at times, but the big end
hasn't been consistent in practice
and has been unable to cure a slice
TO the left. His most serious chal-
lenger has been the left-footed Mike
Roussos, who was parking the pork
hide in the end zone when he first
started kicking. But Roussos hasn't
been hitting it too consistently,
either, the last few days and that
brought Mont into the picture.
Mont doesn't kick the ball out of
the park, but he does keep it within
the 10-yard zone and fairly high.
The other two will outboot him
when they catch a fat one, but Tom
rings the bell for consistency.
Edwards still considers PEBBLES
his No, kickoff man, with Roussos
next, but II Mont surprises like he
has done in passing and running.
the team coach may have to change
his mind and include Tom in his
plans.
Regardless OF who gets the Job the
Skins still do not have q gent of
the caliber Of Joe Aguirre, Bob Mas
terson or Edwards himself when
they handled that chore.
A top-f1ight pro team needs a gent
who literally kicks it out of the lot
preventing runbacks by enemy
hacks. Next best is a kicker like
PEBBLES who puts the ball high
enough to give his mates time to
get down under 1t and surround the
.receiver.
!, The Skins worked on kickoffs yes
.terday but will not concentrate on
,the opening maneuver in earnest

week ago, been around to supply his
offensive and defensive talents.
But, as 1t was, neither All-Star Of
fensive nor defensive could get up a
real head of steam. Chuck Conerly,
triple threat star from Mississippi,
made two yards in two ball-carrying
attempts.
The Cardinals had a 200 to 1O2
yard edge by rushing and shaded
the Collegians in passing 1873 to 1872
Statistics reflected but little the
sound trimming handed out by the
Cardinals.
The pros actually settled the is
sue in the first half when they
marched 80 and 80 yards for a l4-O
half-time margin. Elmer Angsman
ripped 2 yards for the first touch
down after he, Trippi and Pat
Harder had methodically punched
down the field.
Cards Score Through Air.
In the second period the Cards
turned to the air. Pitchin' Paul
Christman fired II yards to Angs-
man. Is to Bill Dewell and II to
Nal Kutner, putting the ball on the
Stars IA. Then Vic Schwall, who
carried the ball only twice all eve
ming, exploded IA yards for touch

the goal line. In the closing min
utes Bill Blackburn recovered Bob

1882, Record Night
Crowd, Sees Chisox
FALL; Yanks Nip As
BY Joe ReiehIer
Assoeiofsd Press Sperts Writer

No matter what President Bill
Veeck gave Satchel Paige, the
great Negro hurler, to sign with the
Cleveland Indians earlier this sea-
son, he would be a bargain at twice
the amount.
The lanky 44-year-old, colorful
Highlander already has earned his
keep, aside from the won and lost
column. Last nights crowd OF 49,
382 was the largest ever to see a
night game in major league history.
Paige shut out the Chicago White
Sox, 10, for his second straight
scoreless performance, and the
American League-leading Indians
fourth straight whitewashing Job.
Ties League Record.
This tied a league record first set
by the Cleveland club of 1903
equalled by the New York Yankees
in 1882. The major league mark is
six consecutive scoreless games, set
by the 1908 Pittsburgh Pirates.
The string of shutout innings
pitched by Indian hurlers has
reached 80, two short Of the Ameri-
can League mark of II held by the
1903 Tribe.
The Boston Red sox climbed past
the Philadelphia Athletics into Sec
ond place by sweeping a double
header from the Washington Sen
ators, 5-4 and 1914. The Athletics
were beaten by the Yankees, So, to
drop into third place, three and a
half games of the pace and only
one length in front of the Yankees.
Paige last night permitted only
three safeties, walked one and
famed five.
The Indians scored their only
run of Southpaw Bill Wight in
the fourth, on singles by Mana
ger Lou Boudreau, Ken Keltner and
Larry Dolby.
Home runs by Ted williams, Bob
by Doerr and Dom Di Maggie, the
latter with the bases loaded, helped
Jack Kramer register his 14th pitch
ing triumph for the Red Sox in the
second game. He has lost four.
Southpaw Ed Lopat pitched a
six hitter as the Yankees took the
series opener from the Athletics in
Philadelphia. 1t was his 18th VIC
tory. The Yankees chased Phil
Marchildon after seven innings, COL
lecting a dozen hits of him and
Bubba Harris. Charley Keller bat
ted in three runs for the victors.
Pete Suder homered for the AS in
the ninth.
Bob Dillinger hit a home run in
the 10th inning to enable the st.
Louis Browns to defeat the Tigers,
5-4, in Detroit.
Cardinals Move Up.
The st. Louis Cardinals moved
within half a game of the second
place Brooklyn Dodgers and a game
and-a-half Of the National League
leading Boston Braves when they
defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates, IA.
A four-run sixth inning, high
lighted by Don Lang's two-run sin
gle. enabled the Cards to overcome
an early Pittsburgh Az lead.
Andy Pafko cracked his 18th
home run of the season and added a
double and single to lead the Chicago
Cubs to So victory over the Gin
cinnati Reds. The victory cut the
Reds seventh place margin over the
Cubs to one-and-a-h half games.
Rain caused postponement Of the
scheduled meetings between the
Braves and Dodgers at Ebbets Field
and the Philadelphia Phillies and
New York Giants at the Polo
Grounds.

curricula and has made many
changes in the light of the find
ings Of the study
Six curricula will be offered next
year: Arts and Science, Music, Bus
mess Administration, Secretarial,
Medical Secretarial and General.

feet wide, but has more super ele-
vatiOn, measuring three feet across
the track and kinder to horses with
weak underpins.
Delaware. Parks policy is to say
nothing whatever about the main
oval, but to leave all comment to
horsemen. The main strip, how
ever, has the distinction of being
100 feet wide in both front and
back stretches. A glance at the
maps, in The American Racing
Manual will show that aside from
Belmont Park, very few race
tracks in this country have this
same distinction.
Three tracks for jumpers round
out the useful and beautiful Della
ware Park string of race courses.
The regular steeplechase. route is a
picturesque layout, whose stately
hedges, water jumps and grass sur
face, appeals to the sportsmen
everywhere. The course, recogniz-
ed as the outstanding one of it's
kind in American racing circles,
was planned and supervised by
William DUPONT, Jr., one of the
founders of the track. Mr.. dupont
is the number one authority on the
brush courses in the United States
The championship steeplechasC
course, over which the Indian Riy-
er and Georgetown classics are
run, crosses the main track twice
The timber in the stretch above the
main track is very tough to- nego-
tiate. Mr.. DUPONT also planned the
championship course, and last yeal
added the hurdles to the Delaware
Park race plant, providing still
another variety of thrills for tn,
