named the starter of the Ohio air
races (the story will be found on

the line that said he was member

New Water

Governor Garvey has appointed
w. w. Lane, member of our board,
as the new land commissioner. The
land commissioner, of course, is the
water commissioner. Mr.. Lanes
thorough knowledge of water
problems, from both a practical

Thus, II the Cards don't teat
the Redskins as badly as the

alizes he'll face more adverse
criticism on the home front. He
doesn't know what will happen if
the Redskins win.
The Redskins. meanwhile, have
added Al Heagy, former member
of Maryland's football coaching
staff, to their official family. He'll
man the crows nest telephone and
keep the coaches on the bench
posted on any seeming weaknesses
that develop on either team on the
field. It's a responsible position
and frees Herman Ball for road

tions.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 9.-The
Philadelphia Athletics are slated
to get another look at some OF
Washington's rookie pitching to-
night in the windup OF a three
game series in which the AS al
ready have q 20 lead. Manager
Joe Kuhel apparently is saving
his best hurlers, If any, for the
series starting in New York to-
morrow.
Scheduled as Washington's start
er tonight is Lloyd Hittle, trans
fer from the Pacific Coast League.
A possible reliefer, If one is needed,
is Buzz Dozier, recently promoted
from Charlotte. A couple of new
Washington throwers got bap-
tism in the majors in yesterdays
twilight-night double header and
neither created a sensation as the
AS won both, 81 and 8-4.
Big Jim Pearce, newly arrived
from Charlotte, started the first
game and was charged with the
defeat as he gave up six hits and
three runs in 41s innings. The
other newcomer, Enrico Gonzales,
was the third hurler in the night
cap and was nicked for nine hits
in 61s innings, but Starter Dick
Weik got the loss.
The Athletics had to use only
one pitcher per game as they
broke their six-game losing string
Alex Kellner tossed an eight-hitter
in the opener, while Lou Brissie
allowed nine in the nightcap.
Only Washington hit of any con-
sequence was a homer by Al
Kozar, his third this year. with
two mates aboard in the sixth
inning of the second game.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Sept. g.
Stopping the Washington Red
skins passes and putting the
brakes on the Chicago Cardinals
speed merchants seemed to be the
chief concern of rival coaches as
the two teams tapered of for to-
morrow nights game here.
Co-coaches Phil Handler and
Buddy Parker of the Cards vividly
remember the six touchdown
passes Sammy Baugh tossed at
'em in Griffith Stadium two years
ago when the Redskins scored a
45-21 upset victory. They haven't
seen Harry Gilmer, but scouting
reports on him are impressive
enough to convince them that
passing still is the Tribes most
potent weapon.
Redskin Coach Billick Whelchel,
new in the pro CRANE, had been
advised to concentrate on block
ing Elmer Angsman, Johnny
Cochran, Doris Dimancheff,
Ventan Yablonski and, of course,
Charley Trippi. Now Jim Hardy.

Angeles Rams two days ago. must
be watched.
The Cardinals won't have a
passer consistent enough to worry
the Redskins, but any one of their
runners could break up the ball
game. Gilmer is particularly anx-
ious to make a good showing
before hometown fans. He was
in only one play against the
Green Bay Packers here a year
ago, throwing a pass that Bones
Taylor dropped. 1t was a legal

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. g.
This city's first heavyweight cham
pionship fight in As years was IN
the making today. Terms were
agreed upon, but contracts were
vet to be signed py Ezzard Charles,
NBA titleholder and Pat Valentino,
local 185-pounder who holds the
California State crown.
Charles, through the 1nterna-
tional Boxing Club which holds
his promotional rights, yesterday
agreed to defend his title in a
15-round match October IA in the
huge San Francisco Cow Palace.
Terms include a $4,000 guarantee
or 35 per cent of the gate. Jim
Norris, president of the IBC, tele-
phoned from New York the terms
were satisfactory.
The bout will be sponsored by
William P. Kyne, operating head
of Bay Meadows Race Track. The
last heavyweight title even in this
city saw James j. Jeffries knock
out challenger Jack Monroe, Au-
gust Is, 1904.
Valentino, his manager Jack
Andrade and Matchmaker Lou
Thomas, were due in New York
by plane this afternoon to sign a
contract guaranteeing Charles a
return title match if he loses.
Charles is scheduled to arrive
Tuesday to sign his contract. The
ceremonies will take place at Bay
Meadows track, which opens its
fall season that day.

Sweep by Tigers
Virtually Blasts
Indians Hopes
National Loop Race
Remains Torrid as
Cards, Dodgers Win
By Jack Hand
Assoeiotsd Press Sports Writer

Red Rolfe's Detroit Tigers, hot
test club in baseball with steam
ing 16-out-of-18 fever, today
seemed to have delivered the
kayo wallop to the world cham
pion Cleveland Indians.
The Tribe still has a mathe-
matical chance at the American
League pennant. So do the
Tigers, but it's only a fleeting
hope-one that would require a
minor miracle to come true.
Detroit vaulted into a near-tie
with Cleveland for third place by
sweeping a day-night double
header yesterday on the pitching
of Hal Newhouser and Ted Gray.
Both are six games behind tho
idle New York Yankees, but the
Indians hold third by a .o02
margin.
Despite the Tigers sizzling drive
and their eight-game win streak.
the schedule is all against them.
They are running out of games
too fast to be a real threat. With
only 16 games to play, IS on the
road, they trail the Yanks by 10
games on the all-important losing
side of the ledger.
Tribes Situation Desperate.
Cleveland's situation is almost
as desperate. They play only
three of 20 at home and trail New
York by eight games on that
losing side.
Rain washed out the New York.
Boston game, turning the big
series into a two-game set. The
worst the Yanks can get is a split.
Every day their 21a-game lead
looks more comfortable.
If the Yanks can take a deep
breath, there is no such chance
in the National League. The st.
Louis Cards and Brooklyn Dodgers
are separated by single game.
Harry Brecheen gave the Car
dinal cause a boost last night
with a three-hit, 80, shutout OF
the Chicago Cubs.
Brooklyn staggered home ahead
of New York, 1877, in a 3-hour-
Commute marathon that was de-
layed 35 minutes by rain in the
first inning. Twenty-Five walks.
