EN- ROUTE TO BIRMINGHAM.
Ala. Sept. 5.-The Redskins looked
pretty much like a one-man team
taking a 1917 shellacking from
the Chicago Bears yesterday be-
fore 1896 astonished fans in
Memphis, Tenn. Fullback Ed
Quirk, was missing. He was on the
bench with a groin injury and
without him the Skins were just
a bunch Of boys with numbers on
their backs.
The Bears stopped 'em on the
1-foot line in the second period
when Quirk might have blasted
over for six points, and they made
'em settle for 3-point, 13-yard
field goal by Dick Poillon in the
first period when Quirk might
have helped keep goalward drive
going. 1t was disconcerting and
puzzling for a team that a few
short weeks ago had fullbacks to
spare.
StOVau Also is Missed.
You can't blame it all on Quirk S
absence or the loss of Moose Sto-
vail, who was knocked unconscious
in the first quarter. The hotel
lobby was knee-deep in Redskin
kin-folk prior to the game and
the boys got social-minded while
the Bears apparently were think
ing only about football and let
ting the relatives worry about con-
ditions on the old plantation. The
Skins could have spent the time
toning up on their pass defense,
which was rather vague.
The Bears fat. old linemen were
right spry. as the skimpy 80 yards
gained by Tribe backs attests.
They opened holes wide enough
for their own ball carriers to
scamper 217 yards even though 1t
was supposed to be too warm and
rough for the elderly gents.
Johnny Lujack's pitching arm was
so bad he threw only two touch
down passes and set up another.
He had to call on Rookie George
Blanda and Sid Luckman for the
others.
And when it was all over.
Owner-Coach George Halas had
the gall to say the Redskins were
go per cent better than last year.
He didn't tell that to Billick We'll
chel, who still insists the Tribe
won't be ready for another month.
Sandifer Not Up to Par.
Truth to tell. the Skins might
have had a 28-10 lead at the half
if Dan Sandifer had been up to
par. He missed a pass labeled s
points on the 15-yard line in the
first period by a fingertip. And
in the second quarter, after
snatching Sid Luckman's throw
on his own %, he was overtaken
and knocked out Of bounds on the
Bears despite a good blocking
support.
The Redskin line was effective
only in spots. 1t did stop the
Bears famed late shift for the
first time in years. thanks chiefly
to Johnny Badaczewski. But you
would have thought the Chicago
passers were quarantined. Rookie
Ed Berrang, making his debut at
end, spilled Lujack once. and the
rest of the time Johnny counted
the house before throwing.
Sammy Baugh took the Skins

Lane Denies Harris

By the Assoeiotsd Press

By the Assocofsd Press
CHICAGO. Sept. 5.-The ru-
NOR mill is trying to grind Mana
ger Jack Onslow Of the Chicago
White Sox out of a job and his
bosses aren't helping much to
slow it down.
The name of Stanley (Bucky)
Harris popped up yesterday as
the successor to Onslow. who is
in the Sox front Office doghouse
for attempting to find out wheth-
er he will fish or manage next
season.
General Manager Frank Lane
Immediately denied the rumor
that Harris, one-time boy" pilot
of the Washington Senators and
the New York Yankees 1947 man
ager of the year, will replace On
slow.
That is. he won't replace him
this season. On next years Pale
Hose manager. Lane was indef-
mite.
After the seasonsis over" Lane
said, Charles Comiskey (Sox vice
president and top BRASS and ]
will make up our minds on next
years manager.
II won't say it will be OnsloW
and I won't say it won't"
Long Rumored at San Diego.
The report tnat Harris, cur
rently managing the San Diego
Padres OF the Pacific Coast
League, will join the Sox ema-
mated in Washington. where
Bucky is held in high esteem dat
ing from his days as a brilliant
Senator second sacker.
But that whisper long has made
the rounds out in San Diego. Lane
however, denied that he has con-
ferred with the 52-year-old Harris
on any subject other than player
prospects.
It also has been bruited here
for some time that Onslow's days
are numbered, even though his
contract still has another year to
run. That was what prompted
Onslow last week to go over young
Comiskey's head and try to learn
his 1850 status from the vice pres
ident's mother. Mrs. Grace Comis-
key, listed as club president.
In discounting the Harris-to-
the-Sox rumor, Lane said he had
heard reports that Charley Dres-
sen, Oakland manager, also had
the job in the bag. Lane worked
with Harris in 1916 when he was
Yankee farm director and asso-
ciated with Dresser in the mid
thirties on the Cincinnati Reds.
Conferred on Players.
"These reports all stem. I sup
pose," said Lane, from the fact
that I have conferred with Harris,
Dresser and also Del Baker (Sac-
ramento manager) on player pros
poets. I have never talked about
the Sox managership with any
Of these men or the major league
clubs with which they are af-
hliated."
Locally, the name of White Sox
Shortstop Luke Appling also has
been tossed in the rumor hopper.
However, the Sox got Onslow q
year ago to replace another Sox
playing idol. Ted Lyons, whose
managerial reign caused the Co
miskey clan considerable anguish

Yankees Still Favored
BY Schedule Despite
Their Setback Here
By Jock Hand
Asseeietsd Press Sports Writer

Assoeiatsd Press Sports Writer
Labor Day finds the schedule
favoring the league-leading New
York Yankees and st. Louis Cards
in their race toward the World
Series.
New York's lead is only III
games after yesterdays loss and
Boston's victory, but Casey STEM
gels battered crew plays 81 Of
its last a games at home.
In marked contrast. the Boston
HRed Sox. a terrific home club, will
appear at home in only II of their
last %.
Cleveland and Detroit, the only
other clubs with any reasonable
chance at the flag, get no help
from the schedule. The Indians
will be on the road In 10 of "a
games and the Tigers away in
13 of 20.
It's the same story In the Ma
tional, where the Cards plays 16
of their remaining rs contests at

B0sox to Invade New York.
The schedule edge also is de-
cisive in the remaining meetings
of the top contenders. The Red
Sox play the Yanks seven more
times. but five of them are at
New York. The only Brooklyn
st. Louis Tits to be played are
a three-game set at Sportsmans
Park, September 21-22.
That's the overall picture. In
today's program of eight double
headers, the Red Sox actually
have a fine opportunity TO close
in on the Yanks. While Boston
plays lowly Washington two at
Fenway, the Yanks are at Shibe
Park for a pair with the AS.
After an off day tomorrow the
important three-game series be-
tween the Red Sox and Yanks
opens at Yankee Stadium We'd
