PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 5.-Ike

his lightweight boxing champion

Chicago's Freddy Dawson.
Williams Is risking his crown

the two contestants. Williams
knocked out Dawson in four and
won a disputed 10-round decision.

said 1t would not rehastate VIII

Victory Over Packers,
Battle 10 Keep Jobs :,
Put Fire in Tribe
By Lewis F. Atchison

On the outside most of the
season in the National Leagues
title fight, the Redskins today
found themselves slated for a
leading role in one divisional
! scrap as they looked to next Sun
days season finale against the
Rams at Los Angeles. It was the
wrong division for the Redskins,
however, since they are more or
less innocent bystanders in the
argument between the Rams and
Chicago Bears for Western
honors.
Yesterdays satisfying 800 Red
skin victory over the Green Bay
Packers before 23,200 fans at
Griffith Stadium had nothing to
do with the situation. The Rams
failed to clinch the divisional
bunting yesterday when they lost
a lest-second decision to the Chi-
caeo Cardinals while the Bears
were whipping Pittsburgh. So the
Rams now must thump the Red
Skins to get into the title play
off with Philadelphia on Decem-
Der 18.
The Redskins could puncture
the Rams title dream with a win
Sunday, and yesterdays perform
ance may have been the tonic
they needed to get them "up" for
the game. More important. how
ever. is the fact that this last
game we'll may decide whether
certain members Of the current
Redskin troupe will be back next
season.
Keep Faith in Rockies.
At the moment, it seems that
no wholesale changes are con-
templated unless the club is ex-
tremely lucky in the player draft
at next months National Football
League meeting, or unless it
swings a couple of deals now on
the f-e. For one reason, the
Redskins still think their 1949
crop of rockies was the finest
since 1910 and that next year will
see them blossom into ull-fledged
stars. Such players as Rob
Goode. Len Szafaryn, Harry Gill
mer. Laurie Niemi and Ed Ber-
rang, to name several. seem to
have the talent to stick.
! But if the recent, unsavory
Lynn Cilandnois episode was an
omen of the Redskins draft for
tunes they'll have to get along
with what they have, weak as
they are in certain positions.
George Marshall, Redskin presi-
dent, has reiterated that the club
drafted Chandnois last month,
when each team chose three coll
legians. only because the Mich
igan State star back told school
officials and Redskin agents he
had not signed with any pro
team, Chandnois subsequently
announced that he had signed

Stor Sfoff Correspondsnf

BALTIMORE, Dec. 5.-They
call it the annual minor league
meeting, but the bigwigs Of base
ball appeared to be all set today
to command headlines with trades
and talk of trades.
Even 80-year-old Clark Grit
fifth, arch-conservative president
of the Washington Mats, con-
fessed that he had "hot irons in
the fire" with the Detroit Tigers,
Chicago White Sox and New York
Yankees.
Grifith was not here today, but
two lieutenants, Manager Bucky
Harris and Vice President Calvin
Griffith Of his club, were on the
scene as the meeting opened. If
we get what we expect" said
President Griffith in Washington,
IN either okay a deal by tele-
phone or take, a train for Balti-
more this afternoon. I've got my
bag packed"
Griffith intends to be present
tomorrow and Wednesday, when
the meeting is finished. On Sat-
urday and Sunday, following a
two-day breather, the entire local
cast will move to New York for
the annual major league sessions
The American and National
Leagues will meet separately on
December IL and 13. and on De-
cember IA they will sit jointly
with Baseball Commissioner A. B
Chandler.

Griffith as the advance guard Of
the Washington party set sail for

Am l interested in George

tainly I am. I think we've got a
good inf1eld right now and need
only a second baseman to round

meeting with instructions to trade

man hedged.
II won't trade either unless
somebody offers something I'm not

don't plan to trade either one of
those fellows. It'll take a big

AS for young Dick Weik. a
pitcher who closed with a rush for
the cellar-dwelling Mats. Griffith
said:
"He's just not on. the market,
and that's final"
According to best information,
the Mats are seeking an outf1elder
from Detroit, an infielder from the
Yankees and a pitcher from the
White Sox. This reluctantly is
acknowledged by the front-ofice
in Washington.
Unlikely to Get Wakefield.
The Tiger outfielder is Dick
Wakefield, once the highest paid
bonus player in history. During
