Sending the Washington cham
pion to the AAABA tournament

except that the event is held in
August. That has meant cutting
the season short and holding the
city playoffs in time to qualify a
District champion.
Now that Washington has given
up playing in the tournament the
sandlot season can run its full
length with the city champion
ship slated for early September.
Instead of the short first round as
in the past. both half-seasons this
year were the same length. there
by giving all the teams more ac-
tion and making the champions
prove themselves the class of their
leagues.
This years city series not only
will have the champions Of the
five sandlot leagues, but the rum
|ners-up, too, and it is not un-
likely that one of the second-place
clubs will win the title. There's
not much difference between the
winner and the runnerup in most
of the leagues.
Starting September 2. the 10
teams will battle in the double
elimination tournament and 1t
will take at least two weeks, may
be three, to decide the champion.

was made in the pressbox by
General Manager Dick McCann a
couple of minutes before the end

brief and McCann could not
elaborate on it. 1t was as fol-
lows:
"Dick Todd, before tonight's
game, asked to be relieved Of his
coaching duties because of the
pressure of his business in Texas.
Because of his many years of
service as a player with the Red
skins and due to the fact that Mr..
Todd originally accepted the head
coaching position in an emergency,
Mr.. Marshall felt he should grant

Marshall seemed pleased with
affairs at the teams training

handling OF the squad at San
Francisco. He thought the Red
skins had better material than the
$50 rout indicated and that the
coach should have used stronger
combinations in an effort to
make game Of it. Todd insisted
on experimenting with rockies.
The two apparently reached the
turning point earlier this week

no players would be dropped until
after the Rams game. was told to
jcut five rockies.

couldn't run the team his way, he
was leaving. Marshall is reported
