The United Nations is at last ar

looked up to by all Nations. A police
force under UN supervision is. as
necessary as a town marshall or a

prised the world and in as much as
it was a case of win, lose or draw,
on account congress refusing to
supply funds he requested for Korea
many months ago. This firmly es-
tablishes the United States as the
leader in world affairs.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 5.-Rated
probable also-rans in the National
Football League race just a week
ago, the Redskins now figure as
possible title contenders as they
move into the last full week Of
preseason training. The addi-
tion of a couple of hefty, ex-

wrought a big change in the NOR
ale of the club.
More improvements are i'm

veteran linemen. Latest report is
that they are seeking Carroll
Vogelaar, 30-year -old New York

talked with a half dozen other
clubs about possible deals with no
success. thus far.
All moves point to one objec-

The rains came. They kept
coming and they've washed away
the well-laid plans of Vic Gauzza,
czar of sandlot baseball in this
area.
Because of the heavy rainfall,
Gauzza is up to his ears in base
ball games. He is hoping to start
the city sandlot series August 81,
but by that time winners must be
decided in the Departmental, In
dustrial, North Ellipse and the
Anacostia League No. /. Only two
league titles so far have been
decided: The Marine Corps In
stitute won the championship in
the Anacostia No. 2 League and
the Fire Department captured the
title in the East Ellipse circuit.
Gauzza is further harrassed by
the fact that the All-American
Amateur Baseball Association
tournament is scheduled to begin
here September S. Winner Of the
city sandlot title earns a berth in
this tournament.
This has been the worst set
back because of rain I remember, :"
says Vic. whose memory in sand
lot baseball goes back As years.
Il just hope we don't get any
more rain. If we get any more,
we'll have to play Saturday and
Sundays and whenever we can.
But we have to get finished in
time for the AAABA tourney"
Ellipse Fields In Bad Shape.
The rains also have played
havoc with the Ellipse fields, site
of some of the games in the Ma

and weeds, indentations and ruts
mar the diamonds.

West Ellipse is especially brutal.

that the fields will be in excellent
shape for the AAABA playoffs.
Its hard to keep them in
shape" he says. They're used
IL months a year, practically all
day long. We don't have a chance
to rest them. plant new seed and
fertilize them. However, we're
going to close them for two weeks
prior to the tournament and I
can guarantee they'll be in as
good shape as possible"
Grid Season Closing Studied.
Kelly also is considering a plan
to close the fields during foot
ball season. He plans to submit
the idea to Dick Tennyson, head
OF the District Recreation Depart
ment. Boys Clubs, the CYO and
other organizations play football
there every year. But if other
fields can be found, Kelly plans
to close down the Ellipse every
other football season.

recommended that the All-Star

To win more than 100 games in
a baseball season is quite an am
for a major league
team. The Quantico Marines al
ready have won 81 against IL
losses and they'll play at least 40
more this year. Their goal of 100
is not at all far-fetched.
The big league clubs play a
season of 1856 games and Quantico
won't be far behind in number.
The Marines opened training
March l at McDill Air Force Base
in Tampa, Fla, and will wind up
their season September Is.
After getting in shape they
played several exhibitions against
minor league teams and ended
their Florida stay by beating
Chattanooga. the Mats Southern
Association farm team. So.
They opened the season March
27 at Quantico and they've been
playing five or six games a week
ever since. The Marines have
made two Northern swings into
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and up
state New York and Southern trips
have taken them into the Caro-
linas.
16-Game Winning Streak.
Managed by Capt, Bill Kohler,
Quantico boasts a 16-game win
ming streak and three boys from
the Naval Academy have helped
do it. Bill Hawkins. star in both
football and baseball at the
Academy. is hitting 1878 since
Joining the Marines and has hit
six homers in IL games. Bill
Goodiel captain of the 1945 Cen
trail High team. has a 1903 aver
age. and Josh Dorsey, ex-Wilson
pitcher, has received credit for a
couple of the victories.
Capt. Jim Pope leads the pitch
ers and has already won 20 games
against eight losses. Frank Wall
has an 1871 record and Ed Null
laney 1871 mark.

Play Sunnybrook Tomorrow.
With performers like these it's
not surprising that the Marines
have done so well against all kinds
Of opposition. They've played pro-
tessionals. semi-pros. service teams
and college mines and beaten most
of them. Against the undergradu-
ates they have a 31-6 record. Last
week they beat Naiman's and Heu-
rich of the Washington Industrial
League and tomorrow they play
Sunnybrook. another Industrial
League team, at Quantico.
The Leathernecks won the Vir-
ginia semipro championship in
Roanoke last month and are all
set to leave for the National
tournament at Wichita. Kan,
starting August 18.
In 1918 they were All-Navy
baseball champions and last year
they lost 20 Submarine Pacific in
the finals at Pearl Harbor.
Quantico certainly has one Of
the best service teams in the
Nation and unless Pope. Wall,
Hawkins and the rest are on their
way to Korea in the near future,
it's a safe bet they'll win 100

Ike Williams Fight
Here Is Big Chance
For SaIas, Pilot Says

Chris Dundee. manager of We'll
terweight Charley Salas of Ari-
zona, says that any plans Light
weight Champion Ike Williams has
for knocking out Salas in tomor-
row nights non-title fight at Grit
nth Stadium will not be fulfilled
II know that Williams is world
champion and a good fighter. but
I've got something special in this
Salas," said Dundee. ITO start
with he's a welter and Williams is
only a lightweight. How many
lightweights go around knocking
out welterweights? Practically
none. And Williams is going TO
have his hands full even trying
to get a decision over my boy,
much less knock him out"
Dundee, who like most fight
managers does all the talking for
his man, said that Salas himself
thinks he'll beat Williams.
Likes to Fight.
"Salas already wants me to get
him a fight for next week" he
said. "Salas likes to fight all the
time. He's in grand shape and
doesn't know anything except
fighting. He's only 81 years old
and has had more than 200 fights
and there's not a mark on him.
"I haven't got a booking for
him next week." said Chris. be
cause think we're going to beat
this Williams. Then we can get a
real payday on tap at Philadel-
phia or even Madison Square Gar
den. We've been fighting in all
the clubs, but now we're ready to
move into the big time. This
chance to beat Williams is all
we've wanted. and I don't think
we're going to muff it,"
Dundee also pointed out that
Williams not too long ago was
beaten by a welterweight. George
Costner. That put crimp in Will
liams' plans to go after Sugar Ray
Robinson and the welterweight
championship. Now Williams has
to get past both Salas and Cost
ner before he can challenge Sugar
Ray.
Five Pounds Difference.
Both fighters worked out yes
terday at Turner's Arena. Will
liams weighs 142 and Salas lat.
Williams was hitting fast and
hard and, despite all the conf
dence radiating from the Salas
camp. the champion is a hefty
favorite to win tomorrow night.
Tomorrow nights semifeature
is an eight-rounder between
Featherweights Jimmy Cooper and
Art Llanos. Prelims are Jimmy
Bell against Coley Wallace, heavy
weights. five rounds; Joe Baker

D little too old for the Yankees,
who are reported loaded with good
tackles, but Ball can use his 259
pounds and experience this year,
If only for a year.
Players More Confident.
The return OF John Steber, vet
eran guard, plus Lipscomb's ar
rival gave the Tribes morale a
remarkable boost. The tense at
mosphere has vanished and the
players have a more confident at
titude. They are beginning to
believe they'll be tough. If
tackle Walt Stickel shows up
within the next month, Ball will
be even more confident that the
Redskins will rank with the lead
ers.
Ordinarily the coach's work
would be easier from here in. just
q matter of wedding out unsuc-
cessful candidates, but the task
has been complicated by absen-
tees. Counting the injured who
haven't been able to work, the
men with the college all-stars at
Chicago. and the late arrivals,
Ball will have eight new faces on
the roster by the end of the week.
Familiar though he may be with
their abilities, he will still need
time and practice to fit them into
the machine. In way it will be
like starting training camp all
over again.
Ball is particularly anxious to
get good look at George Thomas,
the smooth-striding Oklahoman
who may be the breakaway run
ner the Redskins need so badly.
The problem is to get Thomas and
other Redskins in the college all
star camp, ready in time to play
the Rams. Eddie LeBaron may
participate in the game, too, but
he is not included in the Tribes
plans for the season because he
is scheduled to join his Marine
unit by the end of August.
Progress Satisfies Ball.
The staff also is behind in its
work with Fullbacks Bob Goode
and Hardy Brown, who have been
out with sprained ankle and
pulled leg muscles. respectively
but they at least know the brain
work and it will be only a matter
of perfecting their mechanical
work on the field.
The squad completed the ma
jor part of its heavy work yester-
day in the hardest scrimmage held
to date and Ball is satisfied that
1t has progressed as rapidly as
possible although still far from
the polished unit he hopes to
send out against the Colts at Bal
timore next month in the open
ing league game.
But with only 10 days before
the curtain-raiser it now seems
certain that the Redskins def
nitely will be far from the de-
moralized outfit it was at the end
of last season.
