Virginia and Maryland as the
really tough ones.
Some of the other opponents
from the whittled-down South
ern Conference are no pushovers,
and George Washington expects
to play in some interesting
games.
Hopes for Even Tempo.
Coach Bo Sherman, now head
of the Colonials for the second
year, plans to use "a" and "B"
teams of more or less equal abil-
ity. Possibly one may be faster
and the other a mite heavier:
maybe one will be tighter on
defense while the other can pass
better. But as far as possible,
Sherman hopes to keep up the
same tempo while sending in
fresh players to start each period.
Although there's a heavy
sprinkling of sophomores on both
teams, most of them played
regularly as freshmen. Only two
of the seven sophomores on
what are the likely "a" and "B"
teams are non-lettermen.
The lists also include eight
juniors, six seniors and one jun
ior college transfer.
An example of how Sherman is
balancing his teams can be made
by comparing the backfieldS,
with Bob Sturm. a sophomore,
quarterbacking one outfit and
Ray Fox. a senior, running the
other. Fox has an edge over
Sturm as a paSser, but Sturm is
a defensive star, having played
all last season as an Al safety
man.
Two Sets of Backs.
Working with Sturm, and
making up for what his crew
may lack in passing. are Len
Ciemnickl, last years leading
scorer; Bill Weaver, substitute
defensive back last year. and

acano Surprises by Outweighing LaS+arza for Title Bout
Baltimore Confident
As Financing Is Set
For Shift Of Browns
1Y the Asseeieisd Prsss

BALTIMORE, Sept. PA
group of wealthy Baltimoreans
was all set today to plunk out
$1,115,000 for working control
of the st. Louis Browns if
American League owners okay
the transfer.
Meanwhile. a group of st.
LouisianS announced last-ditch
plans to fight the transfer, say
ing they would ny to New York
to seek a hearing before league
owners at the special meeting
Sunday
The developments came as a
time for decision neared on Bill
Weeks second attempt to move
his Browns from st. Louis. The
league turned down his request
to come to Baltimore last spring
by a So vote.
The feeling here was one OF
confidence that this years at
tempt would succeed. Local
baseball men claim the neces-
Sary six votes for the franchise
shift will come Baltimore's way.
Griffith's Contracts Satisfied.
Most of the club owners who
voted against the transfer last
spring were reported Solidly in
the Baltimore camp. Clark Grit
fifth of Washington, a previous
opponent of the move, has pub
licly stated he will vote for Balti-
more regardless of what other
owners do.
The Baltimore Sun reported
last night that televiSion con-
tracts Griffith has had with Bal
timore breweries have been sat-
isfled and that Washington games
are to be televised and broadcast
over a large chain of stations,
mainly in the South, through
1854 and 1855. In addition, Grif-
fifth will repeatedly receive an
extra 100000 if the Browns are
moved here.
But remembering the defeat
last spring, when the transfer
was regarded as equally certain.
everything was done with a note
of caution last night.
A special American League
committee has said only that it
will recommend transferring the
Browns to another city" to be
determined by the owners.
Financial Arrangements.
Financial arrangements aimed
at giving Baltimoreans control OF
the Browns were said to include
these main decisions:
l. Local interests, headed by
Attorney Clarence w. Miles,
would pay an estimated $1,115.-
900 for half the stock now held
by Chicago-St. Louis combine
headed by Veeck. This is ap-
proXimately 79 per cent.
2. Veeck would remain presi-
dent of the club, to be renamed
the Baltimore Orioles, and Miles
would be chairman of the board.
3. Local members would hold
six of the II seats on the board

Rosen slipped by getting

The Mats and Indians

Rosen could bat 500 over

Roberts Falls Short
Of Roster Forecasts,
But Still Tops Glass
BY the ASsoeiaisd Press

Robin Roberts is going to fall
considerably short of some of
the glowing predictions made
for him early in the season, but
the Philadelphia strong boy has
still had quite year.
Contrary to some of the op-
timistic experts, Roberts didn't
win 80 games, % pitch 400 in
nings, or start every third day
without a break.
But with one more starting
assignment to come before the
season ends Sunday, the Phillies
right-hander is sure to:
1. Win % and possibly "a
games, as many or more than
anybody else in either league.
2. Pitch more innings than
any National Lacquer since Gro
yer Cleveland Alexander in 1920,
and more than anybody except
Alexander in the league since
1907.
3. Start more games than any
other pitcher in the league this
year.
Roberts won his 23d game
last night, edging the Giants,
81, on six hits. It was his 4Oth
start and his 33d complete con-
test. For the 14th time this sea-
son he didn't walk a man.
Phenomenal Control Record.
Despite bleak month starting
in early August, Roberts con-
troll record has been phenomenal.
He leads the league in strikeouts
with 1876 and has walked only 81
men, an average of less than one
every five innings. Christy
Mathewson pitched 18 games in
1908 without giving up a walk,
but the best the great Walter
johnson could do in one season
was 10 walkless games in 1918.
Roberts probably will start
Sunday against the Dodgers. So
far he's worked $40 innings, 10
more than last year. With an
other two innings therell be no.
body between him and Alexander
who pitched 389 innings in 1916,
338 in 1917 and 1863 in 1920.
SPAIN Gets 22d Win.
Another pretty fair pitcher
turned in one of his usual excel
lent performances last night
Warren SPAIN of the Braves beat
the Cardinals, 2-1, for his 22d
victory. SPAIN has lost only seven
games. Roberts has been beaten
Is times.
The combination of Roberts
and SPAIN moved the Phillies
and Cards into an exact tie for
third place. Each club has three
games to play.
In other action yesterday the
Yankees defeated Philadelphia
81, and Cleveland clinched
second place with an 8-3 verdict
over Chicago.

All three are former heavyweight

the sports page experts look for Marciano

Recent Heat Factor.
LaStarza had said at his train

come into the ring between 1877
and 100 pounds. The champion
had figured his weight would be
around 1876 pounds.
But both men said they found
it difficult to hold their weight
during the recent heat wave.
LaStarza drove in from his
Greenwood Lake training camp
this morning and ate a normal
breakfast before the Weigh-in.
His first meal consisted of orange
juice, corn flakes and milk, two
poached eggs, toast and coffee.
Marciano, who had broken
camp Tuesday and had been in
seclusion at a friends home in
Long Island, arrived early, too.
