WEDGEPORT, Nova Scotia,
Sept. Is (By MaiD The last day

lucky to wangle a ride for the

United States team contestants.
Our bunkie. Bob Hall of Sports

We reached the grounds just be-

which at it's height flows about
seven miles an hour. The boat
captain balances the speed OF the
boat against the tide so as to
hold ones position and the bats

are fished not more than so feet
back and the teasers close up to
the boat. The angler either sits
in the fishing chair or loafs nearby
in readiness for the strike.
Brazilians Get First Strike.
Within three minutes after the
starting gun, a Brazilian team

into the fog to fight the fish
One after another one could see
strikes on other boats and within
Is minutes five anglers were
fighting the big fish. We loafed

Mats Future Darken!
las Six Slab Rockies
Put on Sorry Show
By Burton Hawkins

Next year arrived last night for
the Mats.
Manager Joe Kuhel paraded six
young pitchers to the mound and
when the seventh-place st. Louis
Browns weren't being walked they
were cutting Washington future
fingers for IL hits and a 1876 VIC
tory.
! The defeat doomed the Mats to
their worst record in 40 years
In 1909 the club won only AZ
games. In 1919 and 1948 it hit
its second worst with Sc wins.
If the current team won all of
its remaining 10 games it would
fall one short of the 1919 and
1948 marks.
AS an indication of what to
expect from the Mats farm clubs
next season the demonstration
last night stirred no hope among
the cozy gathering of 1872 hang
ers-on. Diz Sutherland, Dick
Welteroth. Lloyd Hittle, Enrique
Gonzales, Jim Pearce and Buzz
Dozier issued IA bases on balls.
Kuhel couldn't have illustrated
more graphically the sort of
talent he is supposed to win with.
He showed 'em into action and
they wed Washington
dwindling supply of customers
that they're several notches re.
moved from becoming major
leaguers.
Sutherland. Pearce and Dozie,
represent the most promising
prospects in Washington's farm
system. but they aren't ready fol
promotion. All pitched this year
for Charlotte. N. c., a class E
club. and in alleged major league
surroundings they resembled clas.
B pitchers.
Sutherland walked six and was
clipped for five runs before be.
ing lifted in the second inning
He allowed only two hits, but the
five hurlers' who followed him
were splattered for 10 more, in
cluding a home run, two doubles
and a single by Rookie Roy
Sievers.
The Mats made a game of II
for a moment. In the second in
ming they fashioned four runs
of Joe Ostrowski, with Sam
Mele betting two-run homer, but
Ned Carver came along to stol
them.
Dick Weik, who has lost II
straight games, will pitch tonight
as the Browns and Mats clash for
the final time this year. Cliff
Fannin, who has won 8 and lost
IL, will pitch for st. Louis.

even-Steven trade between the
Washington Redskins and the
Chicago Cardinals last winter Is
haunting practice sessions of the
two rivals as they warm up fol-
Monday nights National League
debut at Chicago.
The Tribe traded Halfback Bob
Nussbaumer for Guard John Ba-
disczewsh and the deal has
worked out we'll for all concerned
thus far.
Trouble is the players have
done so well in their new berths
each team may have to revise
its strategy Monday night. In
their exhibition game at Birm-
ingham the Cards found they
couldn't run through the middle
of the line with Badly on duty
and the Redskins were chagrined
to see Nussbaumer break up their
deep passing attack like a cop
scattering cluster of dice players.
Badisczewski is the first Redskiu
in memory to halt the late-divide
line buck as used by the Cards
and Bears. He simply sat and
waited for the runner and spilled
him with a body slam. His work
was one reason Charley Trippi
gained only % yards on running
plays at Birmingham.
He's a Demon on Defense.
Nussbaumer. used as a running
and pass-catching back as we'll
as on defense at Washington last
season, is playing defense ex-
clusiyely with the Cards and it
seems to agree with him. Herman
Ball. the Tribes chief scout, said
the Banner made two impossible
plays to break up passes against
Pittsburgh. He was all over the
field making a nuisance of himself
at Birmingham.
Ball thinks the Cardinals de-
fensive strategy Monday night
viii be to have a line hacker cover
any Redskin who goes in motion
before the ball is snapped. leaving
Nussbaumer free to play the ball.
It's a sound maneuver, Ball thinks.
because Bob is ball hawk and not
having to play offense should be
fresh and have plenty of bounce.
The Redskins must figure a way
of breaking receivers loose If they
hope to beat the Cards. Injuries
have the Tribe on the ropes and

raggedest of the season. Every
