Redskins Start Work
Facing Two Problems

Three more players. all half
backs, were added to the roster
after Coach Joe Kuharich and
his staff arrived here. The
most important probably is Art
Lupino, who set a national COL
legiate scoring record in his
junior year at the University
Of Arizona three years ago. A
badly injured knee early in his
senior year put Lupino out Of
commission and seemingly
ended his football career.
Because Of the knee, Lupino
was passed over in the draft by
other National Football League
teams, but the Redskins took
him far down on the list on the
chance that he might be able
to play. Art told Backfield
Coach Mike Nixon he has tried
the knee for six months and
had no trouble.

Sportsman Rademacher was

Rademacher referred to the

that Foley. accidentally or
otherwise, butted him in the
second round.
Foley Never in Trouble
The referee called it a
punch. and to some ring OBJ
servers, it seemed more likely
that when Rademacher's long
right slipped over Folley's
shoulder, they simply collided
with a bang.
In any event, Foley was
never in trouble, and it took
but one short right chop to
the jaw that Travelled hardly

the third round. Another short
right to the chin sent him
down again.

Senators Hope
To Use Tigers
Step Stones
BY BURTON HAWKINS
star stan Writer

DETROIT. July 26.-The SEN
ators have been striving for
weeks and weeks to locate
somebody they can drag down
to their level and perhaps
they've found their victim in
the Tigers.
They had similar ambitions
when they invaded Cleveland,
but the Indians rudely polished
them of in three of four games,
rising to the more desirable
surroundings Of sixth place
while the slump-shackled IL
gers plummeted toward the
Senator's slum district, drop
ping to seventh.
The Senators fashioned a
couple of late rallies last night
to nip the Tigers. 4-3, to the
dismay Of 12,726 customers,
Thus Detroit sagged to within

margin the Senators cans over

only three more games are
scheduled on this visit.
Nevertheless. the Senators
can have a jolly time Of it if
John Romonosky delivers to-
day and their Cuban aces.
Pedro Ramos and Camilo Pas
cual, come through tomorrow.
This would place the Tigers a
panicky .004 from the cellar.
Fifth Loss in Row
The Senators may have
caught the Tigers in a state
of shock at that after the
Yankees artillery bombarded
Detroit for 80 runs in three
games. The Tigers have lost
l1ve in a row and nine Of their
last 10, the lone win in that
period being Jim Bunning's no.
hitter against the Red Sox.
In the process of beating the
Tigers last night Roy Sievers
pounded his 26th home, a lead
of liner which barely cleared
the leftfleld screen in the Sec
ond inning. That was their
lone run in the first seven in
nings and hits weren't too nu-
merous over that span either.
The Senators collected only
four off George Susce until the
eighth and by that time the
Tigers had nudged into 81
lead at Russ Kemmerer's ex-
pense.
Gail Harris double and Tito
Francona's single netted the
Tigers a run in the second and
they went ahead in the third
when Billy Martin and Harvey
Kuenn singled and Harris
contributed a sacrifice fly.

RADEMACHER SAGA ENDING
FoIIey's Quick KO
Boosts Title Hopes

LOS ANGELES. July rs (R.
The strange saga Of Pete
Rademacher seems over while
Fora Foley stands out today
as the top contender for a
crack at the world heavyweight
championship.
Big Pete tried his hand at
professional fighting for the
second time last night, and 1t
was even worse than the first.
The dangerous hitting Foley,
from Chandler, Ariz., knocked
out the former amateur cham
pion in one minute Is seconds
of the fourth round.
1t took Floyd Patterson, the
world titleholder. six rounds to
do it at Seattle last August.
Foley, who had promised to
beat Patterson's mark, had 90
year-old Pete from Columbus.
Ga, down four times in all.
On the last knockdown, be-
fore 7.1O0 fans at the olympic
Auditorium and a national
television audience, Referee
Charlie Randolph didn't bother
to finish the count.
Rademacher's showing APP
parently bitterly disappointed
the crowd which paid a gross
of $35,022 to see the fight.
Although there were some
cheers when the fumbling Ra-
demacher came back fighting
in the third round, he was
roundly booed at times and
drew a chorus Of jeers when
he left the ring.
Greenness Shows
Hes still-as green as he was
as an amateur" said 26-year-
old Fora, who split a pair of
decisions with Pete when they
were amateurs.
Matchmaker George Parnas-
sus renewed an offer to Pat
terson Of $250.000 for an out
door fight against Foley in Los
Angeles in September or Oc-
tober.
Foley was asked If he
wanted to fight Patterson.
Yes" he replied. II am con-
fident I could beat him. He
is very fast but / can out
punch him"
But Folley's manager, Bill
Smith, wasn't optimistic about
the immediate possibilities.

CARDIFF. Wales. July 26 (P1.
Herb Elliott Of Australia won
the British Empire Games mile
today with his seventh sub

the stubby southpaw ace Of
the New York Yankees might
bundle up the American League

He lowered his earned-run
average to 1853 with a third

best golf Of his life. But he
says his game will have to get
better 10 win the Eastern Open
at Mount Pleasant.
Wall has a pair Of SOS for a
1873 total in his first two
rounds. The 34-year-old Duke
graduate and Ryder Cup player
Is two strokes back Of South
Africa's Gary Player, the leader,
who has a pair Of 68s and is
tied with BODY Rosburg Of Palo
Alec. Calf. who has $3.50.
Wall. Player and Bob ooalby.
27-year old tour freshman from
Darien, Conn.,, and winner Of
the Greensboro Open, have
played together the FIRST two
rounds at Mount Pleasant and
are the hottest threesome on
the municipal course. Between
them, they are Is under par.
Through a quirk In the pair
ings. they're playing partners
again today.
I'm going to have to shoot
better than SO for the last two
rounds to catch Player" Wall
said. 1--WE watched him for
two rounds and I don't believe
he's going to make any mis-
takes"
Players 1856, eight under par.
and the 1888 Of Wall and Ros-
burg are the only totals under
lao.
Goalby and Jack Burke of
Kiamesha Lake. N. Y, a new
man since his wrist operation,
are at 140. In the 14l bracket
are Fred Hawkins Of Ell PaSo,

chick Of Yonkers, N. Y. the
latter one of the flrst-round

Player Doesn't Miss
The 22-year-old Player has
been uncanny with his accu-
racy for two rounds. For SO
holes he has had % pars and
eight brides. For SO holes he
has missed one green in regula-
ton figures.
1--WE never played better
golf" Wall said, yet Gary
has been outplaying me. He's
a wonderful youngster, the first
foreign player I've ever seen,
and a perfect gentleman. If I
can't win the tournament, l
hope he does"
Sam Snead of White Sulphur
Springs, w. Va, back in the
pack with a pair of mediocre
par TBS, which were extreme
ly disgusting to him, said the
reason Player has shot a pair
Of 68s against his par of TBS is
because Player has 22-year-old
nerves.
That could be true, because
Snead's 46-year-old nerves are
showing. He yipped a couple
