we have a couple Of real worries

Woolpert, whose Dons will be

blow to the Lions 1855 title
hopes, for he obviously had an
important place in their plans.
A reserve quarterback is a key
figure, if only to be available
when the No. / man is injured
or incapacitated. but Dublinski
had shown signs of moving up
to supplant Bobby Layne.
The Redskins were badly hurt
last year when Eddie LeBaron,
who shared the quarterback job
with Jack Scarbath in 1858,
went to Calgary. The San Fran
cisco Forty-Niners felt it when
southpaw frankie Albert, since
returned to the club as back
field coach, quit to go to Canada.
Canadian football has been
regarded as a minor league by
most American pro coaches, but
the truth of the matter is that
the Canadians seem to be using
the NFL for their own private
farm system. They let American
coaches scout for them, dig up
ball players and develop them,
and then the Canadians hike
the ante few thousand and
take the players. The NFL, in
deed, would welcome the pro-
lection organized baseball gives
its member clubs-and gives with
the implied sanction of the
Supreme Court, which isn't look
ing for a reason to wreck exist
ing arrangements.
It may be a little rough on
Avila, who most likely will sign
sooner or later, but it's a fool
proof system for the game.
Pimlico, with It's nominations
for its Jockeys Hall of Fame.
and Delaware Park, with its
ballottihg for the 10 best racing
mares in American turf history,
have started a couple of rousing
arguments THAT defy settlement.
There are so many good ones in
both categories it will be impos-
sible to satisfy all their adher-
ents.
Willie Shoemaker's fans. for
example. will be distressed to
know that he is ineligible for
nomination to the jockey list be-
cause he hasn't been riding 10
years. Such eldtimers asSnap-
per Garrison, Tod Sloan, Mack
Garner, Isaac Murphy, Frank
ONeill, Danny Maher mot the
local attorney. Walter Miller
and Jimmy Mclaughlin are
bound to stir up hot arguments
concerning their relative merits.
In looking over Delaware's list,
the record of D. r. Harness
Imp, a daughter of Wagner
Fondling. struck us as worthy of
recognition. Imp started I'll
times and won 81 races. She won
at distances from furlongs on
dirt under 112 pounds. to a mile
and one-quarter on turf under
1913 pounds. If not the best
mare, Imp at least was one of
the hardest workers and most
certainly earned her keep.

record with 1901. Pat. Cres-
cenzi bowled the highest average
ever recorded here for a full
season, 1904 for los games.
The others, Frank Micalizzi,
Tommy Mock, Bob Lockhart
Gene Hargett and Guy Andes,
have proved capable of sensa-
tional scores.
Weldon moves into the big test
the most generally respected OF
the Washington group. All sea-
son Sonny has been constantly in
the news. With an average OF
131-pluS in the Major District
League, he figures to shatter
Crescenzi's record.
In his last II games, IA in tour
naments. Weldon has averaged
143. The II games were rolled
within four days. The All-Star
test is over three days, with 80
games. Stamina may be an i'm
portant factor. Weldon has it.
But head-to-head bowling, with
the human equation so strongly
involved, might make a differ
ence in Sonny's game. A lot of
bowling fans are curious, in that
respect. over the District ace.
Mock is averaging six points
less than Weldon in league play,
but has proved extremely adept
in match-game competition. He
alone of the areas All-Star group
has won the District head-to-
head championship.
For a dark horse, we offer the
old warhorse of the mapleways,
the 51-year-old Parsons, who de-
lights in tournament competition
and seems tireless despite his
years. In one 24-game stretch
this season, incluoing sets OF
three, five, six and seven games,
Parsons averaged l40-2.
Some of the out-of-town en-
tries can point to similar streaks.
One in particular is hailed ma
tionally as match-game per-
former. From Norfolk comes
Joe Rabel, winner of many tour
naments. On successive days, he
won the Norman Levy and
Jimmy Wallace Opens over bril-
liant fields. But his forte is
head-to-head battling.
It promises to be quite a bowl
ing show.
Last nights star in the Capital
Women'S Major League was
Evelyn Nickel of Mann's Decora-
tors who emerged from a slump
with a resounding 800. Second
best was Dot See of Miller's Fur

DaSeman got Lew" e. A'ehisoh
a plane and flew home to Mexico
City. A football player would
have flown north to Canada and
signed with a Dominion team,
as did Tom Dublinski of the De-
troit Lions.
No matter how they wink at
it, or whatever legal jargon they
wrap it in, organized baseball
seems here to be a monopoly,
pure and simple. A talented
youngster may pick and choose
when the 16 major league teams
are wooing him. but when he
puts his John Hancock on the
dotted line his future is in the
hands of one baseball club, for
better or for worse, til the club
decides when he'll depart.
It would be the same in pro
football If the Canadian League
didn't exist. and it will be the
same If the Canadians sign a
no-raiding agreement with the
National Football League. At
the moment, pikskin stars are
still free to Jump back and forth
across the border whenever it
suits their fancy.
Avila would have been in the
drivers seat few years ago
when Jorge Pasqual offered
fabulous salaries to lure ball
players into the Inflated Mexican

cult was strictly bush, and the
current. teams in Canada are
part of organized baseball's
widespread monopoly. Bobby
had only one place to go-back
home.
Commissioner Bert Bell of the
National Football League once
said 1t was good to have Cana
dams bidding for United States
players if only to refute the
charge of monopoly. But Bell
apparently has changed his tune
and seems to be encouraging
pacts between rival teams, such
as the Redskins signed with the
Calgary Stampeders. to elm
mate contract jumping.
There seems to be no simple
or easy solution to the prob
lem. aside from some sort Of
agreement between the leagues,
