Redskins' Business Good
Meanwhile, the football Red.
skins have the first week of
their 1861 season ticket sale be-
hind them and. to hear Pub
licist Dave Slattery. the fans
aren't as dismayed by the
teams dolorous 1-9-2 record as
might be supposed.
"If anything, our regular
customers bought more tick
cts" Slattery claimed. Nearly
one-half Of the purchasers last
Monday and Tuesday asked for
more tickets than last year."
The fact that the Redskins
will play their seven home
games In the new 50,O00-seat
District Of Columbia Stadium
may have contributed to the
interest, Slattery says. "And
signing UP Norman Snead and
other draft choices didn't hurt, "
he added. II
Season football tickets are
$3.50 each for upper. and
entirely covered locations, and
$3.50 for lower seats, most OF
which win be under roof. AL
individual game tickets are So
thereby making for q savings
|of $3.50 for upper and .$l0.5C
for lower seats on q seasonal
basis. Redskin officials point
out.
A few problems are presented
by o stadium which is fal
from completed. For one thing
the Redskins so far have only
an approximate seat chart tc
display. Most people. Slattery
reported. are content to ask
for seats on the south side
reasoning that they must be
warmer.
However, we had q scien-
tific purchaser during the
week." Dave remembered. "He
was an amateur weatherman
who claimed that in late
October. November and Deem
Der the wind in Washington
blew out Of the northwest SO
per cent Of the time. He wanted
his seats on the north side.
otherwise, I stand a good
chance Of getting wind and
snow in my face he explained. Z"
One section Of the new sta
dunn Is said to be heated.
Original plans called for
heating only the box to be
reserved for the President of
the United States" Slattery
said. "The construction firm
then discovered that it didn't
cost any more, or at least not
much more. to heat the entire
section"
Just where Is this coy
sector? Take that UP with the
Redskins.

TueII Working Hard
For New Gloves Title
BY DICK O'BRIEN
Star stan Writer

The Golden Gloves heavy
weight division took on added
luster today when the 1859
subnovice champion, John Tu-
ell. announced he is going
after the open title this year.
Tuell. a 20-year r-old insur-
ance salesman, has been train
ing for several weeks in the
gymnasium. The former Boys
Club Of Washington athlete
survived an attack of polio in
his mid-teens which left him
with a partially paralyzed left
leg.
Despite this handicap, he
continued to engage in all
sports at the Boys Club in
cluding football, basketball and
baseball. Two years ago he was
advised to take up boxing as a
hobby to help strengthen his
leg muscles.
Tuell entered the Golden
Gloves subnovice heavyweight
action in 1859 and immedi-
ately captured the fancy of
Golden Gloves fans. The g.
foot-6 Tuell moved around
with the speed Of a middle
weight and showed fine fistic
skill in winning the subnovice
crown.
He beat, big AL Zettler of the
CYO in his semifinal effort and
then won the championship by
outpointing Billy johnson of
the Twelfth Street Y.
Johnny didn't enter the
Gloves last year because he had
to undergo another operation
to make further corrections in
his leg, but now feels he's
ready to continue his amateur
career.
He will be boxing for the

The National League. following
the sane and ordedly" route
to expansion prescribed by
Commissioner Ford Frick, has
set UP a committee to study
means Of securing players for
Houston and New York, the
clubs to be added in 1862.
At the same time major
league club owners will decide
in a mail vote whether to allow
the newcomers to enter into
working agreements with minor
league clubs this season to
develop players. The five-man
committee composed of general
managers is to make a report
to the National League at its
midsummer meeting. The re-
suits of the mail vote, which
would give Houston and New
York a chance to sign free
agents and call them up from
the minors at the end of this
season. should be known within
