Bishop, former aeeond aacker ,
for the Athletics and Red Sox, will ;
run the team from the keyatone
bag, JHa predecessor, Ciaaell, !
managed the club from the same!

NEWi YORK. Feb. 21. f AP)
Lou Gehrig, who plays first base
for the New York Yankees in the
American league, can't understand
all this argument about throwing
dollar across the Itappahannock
river.
hrowfng dollars across rivers
Is right up his alley.
He did it yesterday, using the

4;o feet wide. The Rappahannock
where Walter Johnson will attempt
372 feet wide.
Gehrig threw four silver dollars
in the general direction of the op
posite bonk, but they never reach
ed the shore. On the - fifth try
Gehrig let loose a mighty heave
and the dollar landed on the Ice
about 30 feet from the oilier edge
and then bounced onto th'j dock
a 430-foot throw.
With more practice Gehrig thinks
he could clear the entire distance.
He doesn't think Walte" Johnson
will have any trouble tomorrow.
NEW YORK, Feb. 21. (AP)
If George Washington actually did
fling a dollar across the Rappa
hunnock river, it was a Spanish
dollar a "piece of eight."
That wus the dollar of tho colon
ists at the time, Arraf Zerbe, numis
matist of the Chase Natioiif.l bank,
said today. The United Statei gov
ernment didn't begin to coin sil
ver dollars until 17114, after Wash
ington's death.
Nevertheless, when former base-
hall pitcher Walter Johnson tries
duplicate Washington's1 feat
Saturday, he will use a coin of vir
tually the same size and weight as
that which Washington used.
