'Skins Face
Forty-Niners
in Grid Go
San Francisco
(U.R) The
cookies will see plenty of action
Sunday in the exhibition game
between the Washington Fed-
skins and the San Francisco
Forty Niners.
Each team knocked off highly
favored opponents last week to
open their National Football
league exhibition schedules.
Coach Joe Kuharich of the
Redskins has little choice in the
matter. Such seasoned workmen
as halfback Vic Janowicz and
quarterback Al Dorow have been
laid low as the result of an auto
wreck, while quarterback Eddie
LeBaron also is on the injured
list.
Bailey May Start
So Kuharich will probably
start with Don Bailey, rookie
quarterback from Penn State
who was the star of the East's
upset victory over the West in
the Shrine game here on New
Year's Day.
Coach Frankie Albert of the
Forty Niners also will give his
rookie brigade a chance to show
its stuff. Tackle Bruce Bosley
of West Virginia, guard Tony
Sardisco of Tulane. and halfback
Frank Pajackowski of Richmond
as among those slated for action
Washineton cliDDed the Los
Aneeles Rams 39-21 last week
while the Forty Niners downed
the champion Cleveland Browns.
28-17. The Rams beat the Browns
17-6 last night.

Rams Strike
Late To Top
Browns 17-6
Los Angeles (U.R) The Los
Angeles Rams struck late but
hard Friday night to gain a 17-6
revenge victory over the world
champion Cleveland Browns in
an exhibition game before 40.-
175 thrilled spectators at Memo
rial Coliseum.
The Rams were forced to stage
a last-half rally in order to pull
ahead of the pro club which less
than a year ago defeated them,
38-14, on the same turf for the
National Football league cham
pionship.
Coach Sid Gillman wisely call
ed upon quarterback Billy Wade
and a trio of rookie runners to
razzle-dazzle the Browns. Ram
backs Tom Wilson, Tom Runnels
and Joe Marconi, all launching
pro careers, proved the deciding
factors for the Rams in the cru
cial fourth period.
Runnels Scores
Runnels, from North Texas
State, turned in a sparkling per
formance highlighted by scoring
on a crushing six-yard plunge.
The other rookies also came
forth in burning up yardage for
the Rams.
Wade was called into the game
when the Rams entered the sec
ond half trailing, 6-0. He put the
Rams ahead in the third period
hitting Woodley Lewis on a 12
yard pass touchdown play.
Wade's passing also set up Run
jiel's score and put the Los An
geles club in position for a clinch
ing field goal by Les Richter.
The Browns only could man
age to cross pay dirt once. Quar
terback George Ratterman, long
time understudy of recently re
tird Otto Graham, passed to half
back Ray Renfro in a play good
for 32 yards and six points in
the second period.

Rene Valdes
Scores 19th
For Beavers
By john Mcdonald
United Press Sports Writer
Crafty Rene Valdes of the
Portland Beavers looked like a
cinch today to become the Pa
cific Coast League's first 20
game winner after notching his
19th victory Friday night, a
classy three-hit 5-2 win over the
Vancouver Mounties.
Valdez had a shutout going
until the seventh when the
Mounties pushed across their
only runs on a bloop single, a
walk, a hit batter and another
one baser.
Dave Hillman of the Los An
geles Angels stayed right behind
by staggering to his 18th win as
the Angels made good use of
four hits to nip the second-place
Seattle Rainiers 3-2.
In other games, the San Diego
Padres thumped Hollywood 4-1
and Harry Bright rapped a ninth
Inning, homer for Sacramento to
sink the San Francisco Seals 6-5.
Marques Homer Wins
Valdes had blanked the Moun
ties on just one hit until they
tied it up with two runs in the
seventh.
In the Portland eight, Luis
Marquez bashed a three-run hom
er to wrap it up. Marquez earlier
socked a triple and had a total
of four RBI's for the night.
The Beavers jumped into a
two run lead in the fourth inning
on succesive triples by Jack Lit
trell and Luis Marquez and a
single by Frank Carswell.

night championship game of the
Babe Ruth World Series here.
The New Jersey club moved
into the finals night behind the

who led his team to a 6-0 victory
over Portland, Ore.
Earlier, Huntington Park
moved up for a shot at the cham
pionship by defeating Tulsa,
Okla.. 10-6.
While Ritter was shutting out
the Portland club, he got plenty
of support from his teammates
at the plate. They came through
with 10 hits, including three by
Jim Jeter, who kept his series
record perfect with five hits in
five trips to the plate.
Seven Tulsa errors helped
Huntington Park to its win.
Tulsa outhit the California team,
but shaky support cost the Ok-

shot.

Joey, registering his seventh
straight victory, proved that his
non-title decision over Smith
at Houston, Tex., May 2 was no
fluke.
Controversy
Co-Promoter Geigerman said
today, "the return bout in Oc
tober would draw more than
Friday night's scrap because of
the controversy over the decis
ion." Brown, 30 years old and
weighing 133-pounds, was will
ing to give the 134Vs-pound Bud
a return shot at the title in Oc
tober if his right hand is ready
by then, although no return bout
contract was specifically writ
ten into the agreement.
The new champion had x-rays
at Touro infirmary today to ee
whether the hand was fractured.
He said he hurt It in the second
round.
At the hospital. Dr. L. T. Tay
lor said x-rays disclosed a frac
ture of a small bone near the
wrist in the right hand and that
it apparently would keep the
champion out of action for about
six weeks.
