Mickey Vernon, two years ago a
prominent baseball figure with his
lofty. league-leading batting aver

most enticing trade bait. Beached
for hitting deficiencies, the lean,
colorless first baseman has become
Washington's leading candidate for
hasty disposal
A 1853 hitter in 1916. Mickey
slumped to 265 last season and cur
rently is batting meager .249.
Over span of his last IS games
Vernon has struggled along at a
caterpillar pace of .137, so fancy
fielding Earl Wooten grabbed his
Job last night.
Manager Joe Kuhel says the
benching is temporary. but all in
dications point to the fact that
Mickey'S status as Nat also Is
temporary. Sometimes a player
will perk up and come back with
renewed ambition after a few days
on the BENCH" says Kuhel. I'm
hoping that will be the case with
Vernon"
Vernon's value on the baseball
market has decreased since the
New York Yankees offered Third

now will settle for less.

mination to overlook no bets to
improve the line. I'VE weren't the
only club interested in Stacco," said
Coach Turk Edwards. And I think
we gave up pretty good back, a
runner who can help McMillin's
Isingle-wing offense. to get him.
Maybe Stacco can't make the grade
with us, but at least he's worth a
look"
Signing Stacco doesn't mean the
Redskins are dissatisfied with what
they have, Edwards said, only that
he intended to overlook no oppor-
tunity to bolster the position.
Deal Is Break for Wilde.
The deal definitely was break for
Wilde, who was stymied behind
Eddie Saenz, Tom Farmer and
HoWie Livingston at left half. If
the club gets another fullback, Poll
Ion also will go back to that posi-
ton, which would have made George
low man on the totem pole.
Wilde was handicapped by in
juries last year and saw little action
He carried the ball only four times
for total Of minus l yard. He
scored touchdown on a pass play,
but didn't have a real chance to
show his best. He has been held
back by strained leg muscle in
camp, but got into the intra squad
game as a defensive back.

Demand for Full
Insurance Was
FAN, Bell Says
Refuses to Tell Why
Ward Wouldn't Meet
Redskins Request
By the Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 26.-Com-
missioner Bert Bell of the National
Football League today upheld the
right of Harry Gilmer to refuse to
play in the Chicago Tribune Chari-'
ties, Inc, All-Star football game.
Tribune Charities. through its
vice president. Arch Ward, also
sports editor Of the Chicago news
paper, had demanded that Gilmer.
rookie passing star of the Washing
ton Redskins. be barred under a
contract rule from playing in pre-
season NFL exhibitions played by
the Redskins in 1948.
Gilmer, former University Of Ala
bama gridder, refused to play with
the College All-Stars against the
Chicago Cardinals in the annual
charity game August 20.
Refused Gilmer's Demand.
Bell said Gilmer had accepted the
invitation to play in the game on
condition that he was to receive
$3.50 plus expenses which shall in
rclude all insurance coverage OF his
contract With the Washington Red
skins"
This insurance was intended, Of
course. to protect Gilmer from a
(possible) very large financial loss
in the event of a severe injury"
Bells statement said.
The Tribune, Bell went on, refused
to insure Gilmer as he requested
"Gilmer's demand for full pro-
lection against loss under his con-
tract was. in my opinion. both
reasonable and fair" Bell asserted.
Bell said "the contract between
the National Football League and
the Chicago Tribune Charities, Inc.
provides that the latter shall pay
cash all-star player $3.50 and his
expenses, but does not define what
is meant by the word expenses.
Broad, Liberal Meaning.
''The Tribune has given the word
expenses a broad, liberal meaning
and has interpreted, with our en-
thusiaStic approval, the word 'ex-
penses' to include insurance.
1T. therefore, insured in 1947 and
in 1948, in limited amount, each
college All-Star who was member
of the All-Star squad but in the
case of Gilmer it refused to insure
him.
The NFL commissioner refused to
answer a question as to why Ward
and the Tribune declined to grant
Gilmer's insurance request.
Bell said that an injury which is
not fully compensated for may
seriously affect the livelihood of a
player and therefore it is vitality
important that q player be fairly
and adequately protected"
The NFL-Tribune charities con-
tract runs through 1851.
Satisfied With Contract.
Bell made clear that the NFL is
Satisfied with the contract. but
it is my duty as commissioner to
see that NFL football players are
adequately protected in any reason
able demand they may make"
Bell said his order covers any ball.
player, but if a newspaper running
an all-star game provides full in
surance coverage and the player
still refuses to participate, he then
will be barred from northampton
ship games of his NFL club if such
action is requested by the sponsor
ing organization.
Washington's first exhibition game
Is scheduled September 2 against
the Los Angeles Rams at Los
Angeles. Gilmer was hurt recently

Redskins Get Stacco,
Tackle, in Long-5hot
Swap With Lions
BY a Stoff Correspondent Of The Stor

LOS ANGELES. Aug. 26.-The
Redskins took long-shot gamble
to bolster their line today and
traded Halfback George Wilde to
the Detroit Lions for Tackle Ed
Stacco and another player to be
named later. The surprise deal,
plus Dick Poillon's shift from
half to fullback, temporarily took
the spotlight off negotiations with
the Rams for a fullback in exchange
for an end, but the clubs may get
together on that one, too, before
their game next week.
Wilde left for the Lions camp
at Alma. Mich, last night, and was
to report today. Stacco also is due
here today, and will go to work i'm
mediately.
The Skins are gambling on Stacco
largely on the recommendation of
Line Coach Tiger Walton, who
coached the 6 feet 2, 250-pounder
at Colgate in 1943. Stacco was ALL
Eastern that season, and although
he made his mark against wartime
opposition Walton thought the big
boy had the makings of a good
pro.
May Be Able to Use Stacco.
Stacco captained Colgate in 1914,
was on the 1945 Ell Toro Marine
squad, and after returning to Col
gate was picked to play in the, an
nual East-West Shrine game at
San Francisco January l, 1947. This
will be the big boys second year
in professional ranks. A graduate
geologist, he's built along the same
lines as John Koniszewski, who is
lean and hard this season.
Il haven't seen Ed since he played
at Colgate" Walton said, but he
could move and he was aggressive.
If he hasn't lost those qualities we
can use him.
Although sideliners look with
skepticism on the deal, asking why
Bo McMillin would let good tackle
go-especially 250-pounder. the
swap emphasizes the Skins deter

Glenn Davis Breaks q Record
Several Hearts, Too
BY the Assoeioted Press

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 26.-Lt.
Glenn Davis broke a record and
several hearts last night in his
first appearance as a professional
player and as a temporary men,
ber of the Los Angeles Rams. It's
temporary because he's still in
the Army.
The cord-shattering was
when he dashed 100 yards in full
football regalia, carrying a ball,
over the grass in 1913 seconds.
The generally accepted record
for this feat was the 11.2 seconds
made in 1912 by San Diego State
Colleges Olympic broadjump
champ, Willie Steele, then at San
Jose (Calif.) State College.
The broken hearts belong to
the top brass of the Ram organ
ization, the biggest break being
suffered by Headcoach Bob
Snyder.
The reason:
Davis, Mr.. Inside of the greatest
era of West Point football, played
spectacular football. He scored
three touchdowns, all on passes
ranging from Is to 80 yards. He
carried out every blocking assign
ment. He faxed and feinted the
secondary with the artistry of a
Hutson or a Benton, and the
crowd loved 1t.
But Davis plays but one more
time-in the Rams annual char
ity battle Septembr 2 against the
Washington Redskins in the coli
scum here-and on September 6
he ends his furlough and sails for
Korea. -..

given to talking much, and about
Davis, never. But trapped on the
bench during 9 third-period rest,
hot, dirty but loving every minute
of the fray, he confessed he sure
enjoyed this game-the Rams
are a great bunch of guys"
Then, wistfully, 1t seemed, he
added:
