GAME IS REP[ETE
WITH GRID STARS
All Sammy Seems to Need
Is a Flock of Points on
.250 Stick Mark.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

n YEW YORK. Jan. They are
talking about how effectively
" Sammy Baugh's famous sling
ing arm will deal with a base
ball Can he throw strikes from the
deep outfield, or possibly from short
stop as accurately with horsehide as
he can with pigskin? The point of all
Of this, Of course, is his forthcoming
test in spring practice with the st.
Louis Cardinals
Southern baseball critics. while rec
ognizing Baugh's gridiron genius,
maintain that. in view of his $50 bat
ting average as college ball player,
chances are that as a big Lacquer he
will continue to be known as footballs
greatest passer.
They cite the cases of Ernie Nevers.
Jim Thorpe and Red Grange as estab-
fishing theory that football lumi-
nary cannot make good in majo base
ball. just as an outstanding college
base ball player seldom shines in foot
ball All of which is sheer ignorance.
For the fact is that big league baseball
now, as in the past, contains plenty OF
men who blocked in the line and
packed football in big way.
Some Notable Examples.
DIXIE itself can submit many names
of young men who performed
valiantly on college and university
gridirons in the present as in the past.
Riggs Stephenson. for one. He was
former great outfielder for the Cubs
and now is managing minor league
outfit. And frankie Frisch. Fordham
did not stand high in football when
frankie was playing for the Rams, but
II you believe Jake Weber. who should
know, you can put the Cardinal pilot
down as the greatest quarterback the
Maroons ever had.
And how can Mickey Cochrane Of
the Detroit Tigers be overlooked?
Mickey played football on a minor
team. too-Boston University; but the
considered opinion of football critics
In the Hub is that he was one Of the
best football players ever developed in
that erudite community.
Spurgeon Chandler, Georgia grid
iron luminary, gives every promise.
according to Joe Mccarthy, of becom-
ing one of the Yankees most de-
pendable right-handed hurlers.
Charley Devens Of Harvard, a great
backfield player in football. pitched
well for the Yankees and would be
with the champions stiIl had he not
elected to enter the marts Of trade.

|SRARE SKIPPER
Jack Smith, 70, Has Record
of Damaging Few Craft
in Intricate Job.
BY BILL BONI,
Associated Press Sports Writer.


n YEW YORK. Jan. when the
N doors OF Grand Central Palace
" are thrown open to the public
4 for the annual gala "pre-view"
of the National Motorboat Show to-
night, each of the l80 exhibitors in
this 33d annual event will give 4 more
or less verbal bit Of thanks to grey
haired, ramrod-backed Jack Smith.
Some Of them may forget to thank
the deep-voiced, rugged veteran who
helped set up the first show at the old
Madison Square Garden in 1905. and
has been with them ever since. That's
because they've grown, through the
years, SO accustomed to having Jack
bring order out Of chaos and all their
displays to their, proper positions on
the three floors. the show now occupies.
Nearly 70 Years Old.
JACK was putting the finaI touches
to his pet this morning-seelng
that his seven crews Of riggers hauled
late-arriving craft to their places with
out scratching them on their passage
between pillars and around corners.
He's nearer to 10 than I like to
admit" but Jack can't have slowed
up much since the old shows in the
Garden. when canoes were the biggest
things had to worry about" Now
adays his problem boats may be any
where up to IS feet long, yet they are
snaked into the Palace with just as
little excitement
Accidents to boats?" Jack echoed
the question. Now let me see
there was one year we were hauling
in big cruiser and one of my riggers
didn't hear the signal to ease up on
the winch. That boat had about
this much"-he held out his thumb
paint scratched of. We scraped
another one a bit less five years ago
and that's about all the damage I
can recall"
From the old boat show he also
drifted into handling the set-up for
the automobile show and worked on
that for 10 years.
