LOS ANGELES, Aug. 6.-The
Redskins we're ready for their
second full-Scale Scrimmage to-
day and every indication pointed
to a dress rehearsal for the open
ing exhibition game with the
Rams here August 10.
Coach Curly Lambeau selected
what he thinks will be his best
offensive unit to carry the ball
for the first half, then named his
best defensive eleven for the sec
ond half. 1t was tough on Tao
kles Paul Lipscomb and Laurie
Niemi, who will have to go both
ways for a while at least.
Lambeau scoffed at the sug-
gestion they might be over
worked.
IF they were guards I'd say
yes. it's too much to ask of
them" the coach agreed. Guards
pull out of the line to lead plays
and move around a lot. but not
tackles. They don't work too
hard. A good tackle should be
able to play full game, coming
out only on kicks"
Lambeau Using Veterans.
Eddie LeBaron will be at quar-
terback for the No. / offensive
team, with Julie Rykovich at
right half, Choo Choo Justice
and Sam Baker sharing left half
and Chuck Drazenovich at full
back.
Joe TereShinSki and Lew Wei
densaul will divide the work at
right end, with Lipscomb at right
tackle and Niemi at left. Lynn
Lynch at right guard, Buddy
Brown at left guard. Harry
Ulinski at center and Bones
Taylor at left end complete the
lineup. WeidenSaul. Baker and
Lynch are the only newcomers.
On defense Curly planned to
use Gene Brito and John Yona-
kor at the ends, Niemi and Lips
comb at tackles and Jim Ricca
in the middle. Drazenovich and
Knox Ramsey were to be the
linebackers. with Hall Haynes
and Dick Alban on the corners.
Harry Gilmer and Harry Dowda
will be at safety.
There are no rockies or new
men in this group, which is the
tipoff on Lambeau'S desire to
beat the Rams.
Quarterback Jack. Scarbath
and Tackle Dick ModzelewSki of
Maryland, both now with the
College All-Stars, are counted on

for roles against the Rams. But
Scarbath will get in for only a
selected series of plays and
Modzelewski will be used only
on defense.
Fears to Trust Rockies.
Lambeau also emphasized that
Gilmer, Dowda and Drazenovich
will be used less and less on de-
fense after the Rams game-he
hopes. The coach wants to use
their talents to advance the ball,
but he's afraid to trust the de-
fensive chores against the Rams
to untested rockies.
Mentally. the squad is in a
bone-busting mood after Hopping
in the first test Tuesday.
Physically, there are still a half
dozen or so with stiff necks,
minor leg injuries and assorted
bruises. But all will be trying.

The standings and the calen-
-dar make this look like the day
of decision for the Milwaukee
Braves.
Charlie Grimm's club runs up
against league-leading Brooklyn
twice this afternoon. Nothing
less than a pair of victories will
convince anybody except the
rabid Milwaukee fans that the
Braves still have a pennant
chance.
The Braves, who jumped from
lackluster seventh-place out
fit in Boston to dangerous con-
tenders in Milwaukee, trail the
Dodgers by 71a games. Two tri-
umphs would leave them 51a
behind: a double defeat would
drop them 91a back. It's a rare
season when a club can make up
that much ground in seven weeks
all that's left of the 1858 cam
paign.
Only six games remain be-
tween the two clubs. including
the double-header today. So far
Brooklyn has won IL out of 16,
six out of seven on the Braves
own field.
SO,741 See Rally.
The Dodgers suffered their
first loss in Milwaukee yesterday,
a 5-3 decision which saw the
Braves come from behind in the
eighth inning before an after
noon crowd of 30,741, a week.
day record for the year.
Milwaukee scored twice in the
seventh when a sharp grounder
that looked like sure third out
bounced off Junior Gilliam's S
shoulder. The Braves got three
more in the eighth, two when
Walker Cooper delivered a pinch
single with the bases loaded and
one more when Erv Palica
walked Eddie Mathews with the
bases loaded again.
Giants Collapse.
Third-place Philadelphia, nine
games back of Brooklyn, trimmed
fourth-place st. Louis, 7-3. The
Giants, who have collapsed COM
pletely in the West, lost two
more to Chicago, 9-6 and 7-6,
with the second game going 10
innings. Pittsburgh defeated
Cincinnati, Ga.
The American League race re-
manned static, with the Yankees
staying five games ahead of the
White Sox. Although both won,
neither the Yanks nor the White
Sox had easy going. New York
had to come from behind to edge
Detroit, 5-4, while Chicago was
carried IA innings at Philadel-
phia before Sam Mele broke it
up with a two-run homer.

Bob Is0ne Shy
Of 1925 Staff's
Total Of Eight
Current Figure Best
Since Johnson's Duy:
Shea Faces FeIIer
By Burton Hawkins

Bob Porterf1eld, with seven
shutouts already and approx
mately 10 starts remaining in
which he possibly could accumu-
late more, is giving the Mats
fans more scoreless games than
any Washington pitcher since
Walter johnson.
Porterfield, by beating the In
d1ans. Ito, on six hits last
night, has pitched only one
fewer shutout than the entire
Washington staff of 1925 which
won pennant. That year
Stan Coveleskie and johnson
pitched three shutouts and Tom
Zachary and Dutch Reuther one
each.
Johnson's best mark was in
1913, when he pitched IL shut
outs. That figure seemingly is
beyond Porterfield's reach, but
Bob already has passed the 1852
American League high of six
shutouts hurled by Allie Reyn-
olds and Mike Garcia.
Reynolds was the last Amer
lean League pitcher to fire seven
shutouts. He hit that figure two
years ago. Bob Lemon had 10
in 1948 and, like Reynolds, was
pitching for a pennant winner.
Bob Feller compiled 10 shutouts
in 1916, the year he set the
major league strikeout record.
Johnson Had Eight in "a.
Johnson is believed to be the
last Washington pitcher to top
Porterf1eld in that department.
He pitched eight shutouts in
1924. Grover Cleveland Alex
ander holds the major league
record of 16 shutouts with the
1915 PhillieS.
Jack Coombs of the Athletics
set the American League mark
with 13 in 1910. JohnSon's life
time total of 113 tops everybody.
ShutoutS are becoming routine
at Griffith Stadium. The Mats
have participated in six straight
there, winning three. Porter
field pitched his second sue
cessive shutout in humping the
Indians eight and half games
back of the Yankees last night
as the Mats supported him with
an outburst of II hits.
Spec Shea will try to con-
tinue Porterf1eld's string of
zeroes today, when he takes the
mound against Feller in the last
game of the series. The 2::30
game will be televised by Sta
ton WTTG.
Control Cuts StrikeOuts.
Porterfield, despite a blazing
fast ball, hasn't struck out more
than four batters in any game
this season but he isn't fretting
about it. He famed only one
last night but he gave a
demonstration of control, walk
ing none.
II think the reason I don't
get many strikeouts is because
batters know I'm going to be

83 Top Golfers
Start Scramble
For Tam Melon
Favored Sneud Says
He's Ready to Seek
$25,000 Top Prize
BY the Associoted Press

CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-"Top Bo-
nanza," tournament golf's rich
est production, starts at Tam
o'Shanter today, and a lot of
cases of stage fright are expect
ed.
The copyright name of the
meet is "the World Champion
ship of Golf" A safe bet is that
a well-seasoned pro will win-a
pro who won't choke up with
the thought that each shot he
takes in the 70 holes of compe-
tition can be worth about 500.
George S. May, tournament
promoter: has put up $4,000
purse. The winners share is
$25, 1000, the biggest money prize
in golf.
(WMAL-TV, Channel 7, will
televise the finale of the Tam
O'Shanter tournament for
Washington area fans from
7:30 pm. to $3.50 pm, WASH
ington time Sunday.)
Snead FavOrite.
A selected field of 80 con-
teStants will take stab at the
big melon. Sam Snead, who says
his injured hands are feeling
much better, is one of the favor
ties. Sam proved he was ready
by sharing second place in the
Tam o'Shanter All American
tournament Monday. He closed
with a 68 for 278 on the par 70
course.
The All-American winner,
Lloyd Mangrum, with 275, may
be able to repeat for the world"
title. like he did in 1948, but the
pros say the odds against this
are about 80 to /.
Other favorites include Jack
Burke, Walter Burkemo, Ed
Oliver, AL Besselink and Cary
Middlecoff.
275 Set as Target.
After practice yesterday, Burke
and Middlecof predicted that a
72-hole total lower than 275
would be needed to cash in for
first money.
The consensus of the others
was that any player clipping a
dozen or so strokes from par
288 would be in. They set 275
as the probable target.
The possibility of playoff, on
an extra hole sudden death"
basis for the first time, appeared
strong. Three playoffs have been
necessary in the last four years
to determine the winner. ;,
In 1852, Julius Boros outshot
Middlecoff 68-70 in a playoff
round after tying at 276.

In MemOriam

In sad and loving remembrance
of my dear Mother, Sarah Eliza
beth Roberts who passed away IS
years ago today, Dec. 10, 1898.
1t was one morning just at sun
rise,
Is years ago today,
The angels came upon this earth,
To take my dear Mother away.
l saw you slowly leaving me,
And helpless l stood by,
And drained the cup of bitter
grief,
The day 1 saw you die.
God saw the road was getting
rough,
The hills were hard to climb,
He gently closed your loving eyes,
And whispered, "Peace be thine,
Your weary hours, your days of
pain,
Your weary nights are past,
Your ever-patient worn-out frame,
Has found sweet rest at last.
Dear Mother, l am lonesome,
For l miss your loving face,
But you left me to remember,
That no one on earth can take
your place.
My heart still aches with sadness,
My eyes shed many tears
God only knows how l miss you,
At the end of Is long years.
Your loving daughter, Mary 740
