Sharp Bout Promised
As Dawson, Rafford
Clash Here Monday

In quickly pasting together a
substitute fight to replace that
originally scheduled for next Mon
day. but postponed for two weeks
because of an injury to one Of
the principals. Matchmaker Gabe
Menendez has come up with some
thing very attractive.
Signed contracts were filed
with the District Boxing Commis-
sion yesterday for a 10-rounder
between Lightweights Freddie
Dawson of Chicago and Doug
Ratford of New York next Mon
day night at Griffith Stadium and,
of the records. it could be as
good a fight as Washington has
had this season.
Both battlers are rated we'll in
the profession and both have
shown a good brand of fighting
in Washington recently. Their
bout substitutes for the Manuel
Ortiz-Jimmy Cooper scrap now
set for August 20. following a
knee injury to Ortiz.
1t looms as a match between a
slugger and boxer. with Dawson
the slugger and Ratford the boxer.
1t also is a rubber match, each
having beaten the other in 1947.
Dawson has the higher rating in
the boxing world. The National
Boxing Association lists him as
logical contender for Ray Robin
sons welterweight title. while Ring
Magazine rates him in line behind
Lightweight Champ Ike Williams
He operates well in both divisions.
In IL fights last year he won five
by knockouts, five by decisions and
dropped decisions to Ike Williams
and Johnny Williams.
In his one previous showing
here. he showed q knockout punch
by chilling Charley Milan last No
vember at Turner's Arena. i. ;.
Ratford also has shown here.
He looked very fancy while out
pointing Sonny Boy West in April
at Turner's.

Its a good idea to knock him
down on every play" said Badac-
zewski. "If you can," he added as
an after-thought. Then you
know he's not going any place,
even If he has the ball"
But is stopping the high and
hard-bumping Van Buren so
easy?
You gotta get him low" coun-
selled Badaczewski.
YEAH" agreed Goldman, get
way down"
He tries to get low and come
up under you," continued Baddie,

Redskins Must Stand
.Gaff, Forget AIibis,
Whe|che| Insists
BY q Steff Correspondent Of The stor

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 9.-There
will be no room for alibi artists
or weak sisters on the Redskins
this season, Coach Billick Whel-
chel indicated today. The hard
bitten ex-Navy coach made that
much plain in response to a
routine question during an in
terview with newspapermen.
With Pete Stout nursing bruised
ribs, Jack Kirby. Harry Dowda
and Tom Cochran walking gin
gerly on blistered feet and Dan
Sandifer and Bob Hainlen slowed
down by slight pulls in their leg
muscles, Whelchel was asked If
tomorrow's scrimmage would go
on as scheduled.
IT I was a football player
wouldn't let a little thing like blis-
tered feet keep me out Of there" "
said Whelchel. And If we had
to call off a scrimmage every time
somebody got a blister we'd never
have a football team. Sure we're
going to scrimmage tomorrow.
Redskins Must Be Rugged.
This is a rough business" he
continued. Either a boy can
stand the pace, bad feet or not
or he goes. Some men don't have
lit up here" he said, pointing to
his forehead. Some don't have
1t here" pointing to his heart.
1--WE don't want those men.
I've known boys who had bad
knees and. played. They'd get a
shot of cocaine to kill the pain
just like you get a shot of coke
when you 60 to the dentist. There's
no bad after-affect, and it is not
dishonest, It's not like: charging
q horse for a crooked race, but. it
gives fellow who wants to play
football a chance. to do It,"
Whelchel's statement was not
surprising in view of his previous
remarks concerning his plans for
the Tribe. He merely re-empha-
sized that he wants only workers,
no drones, on the squad. He ex-
poets to have a hustling, fighting
eleven. on the field and anybody
who doesn't AT his specifications,
old, or new. must go,
Saenz's Tonsils Coming Out.
The Redskins lost another half
back, temporarily. today when
Eddie Saenz entered the hospital
for the removal of infected tonsils.
He should be back within a week,
but Saenz can Ill afford to lose
any time with Jack Kirby press
ing him for a regular job.

The Male AnqIe
Details of Dress Are Importon,
By Horr Keene

Its the little things that
count" is a tired overworked
cliche, and yet, when it comes to
your clothes and to smart groom
ing, its application is too direct to
refute. You can wear the most
expensive clothes in the best of
taste, yet if the little details of
proper fit are ignored you cannot
be considered we'll dressed. For
that reason, I am devoting this
column to the seemingly small,
almost irrelevant points of dress
which in reality make the man"
The coat of your suit. if not the
proper length, can throw the en-
tire ensemble out of balance.
Make certain when trying on a
suit that the coat comes to the
palm of your hands. To check
this. keep your hands at your
sides and curl them under the
bottom Of the coat. If this can
be done without grabbing a hand
full of excess fabric, you'll know
your coat is right. The body of
the coat should be straight hang
ing. giving you all the ease and
comfort you want.
Sleeves Are Not Gloves.
Remember that sleeves are not
supposed to keep your hands
warm, so don't let them be too
long. The correct length should
allow "a to y inch of your shirt
cuff to jut out. The collar of your
coat should hug the back of the
neck, and here again approx
mately "a to u inch of shirt col
lar should show above your coat
at the back of the neck.
The coat sleeve itself should be
"rolled" which means that when
it is pressed it is handled like a
tube and not f1attened out ands
creased in the middle. Remember
ing that part of the design of a
suit Is achieved in pressing. which
is especially true of the manner
in which lapels are made to roll
to the proper buttonhole, make
certain to remind the keeper of
your wardrobe not to press lapels
or sleeves fiat but to roll" them
and follow the original lines of
the suit as it was when you first
bought it. Some presSers will not
do this unless you remind them!
Heel Guards for Trousers.
Trousers can be either cuffed or
plain at the bottoms. Both are
in good taste although recon-

Our opinion Is that until the

Jim agrees with me heartily.
Not even Jack Knight, Jason

season-and this 10 an open defy

Of these large-mouths have been
identified as small-mouth bass.
So, the world record small

This should put a stop to all the

Insurance Fund 0kay,
Major League Ball
PLAYERS Assured
BY the Assosiotsd Press

CINCINNATI, Aug. 9.-Walter
Mulbry, secretary-treasure Of the
major league baseball pension and
insurance fund, says there is no
need for concern over the fund s
stability.
Mulbry said reports that the
fund is on the verge Of collapse
are without foundation.
He added, however, that pro-
posal that the minimum age for
payment of annuities be boosted
from so to SIS years probably will
be discussed at a meeting of the
major league executive council in
Chicago next Thursday.
Under the pension and annuity
plan players with five years of
major league experience receive
$50 a month for life after they
reach the age of so. The pension
is 500 a month for those players
with 10 years or more in the
IudJOTS.
Players who originally entered
into the program in 1947 paid
$3.50. Now each man pays from
27 cents to $2.70 per playing day
based on his years of service. The
club owners pay about rs per cent
Of the cost Of the plan.
Mulbry said there now are only
about three or four players eligible
for the pensions and others will
not be eligible until 1852. BY that
time, he said. there will be more
than $2.750. 900 in the fund.
Statements that the plan is in
jeopardy are regrettable," he de-
clared. "The program is going
along as forecast at its inception
early In 1947."
