RILEY SMITH ABED
WITH LEG INJURY
Redskins Quarterback Is Left
in Chicago Hospital as Team
Leaves for Dallas Tilt
SIAN CORRESPONDENT of The Star

CHICAGO, Ill.,, Sept. l.-Riley
Smith, first string quarterback of the
Washington Redskins, was left in
Woodlawn Hospital here today with a
badly injured right leg as his team
mates boerded a train for Labor Day
game in Dallas, Tex.
Smith did not know when he was
hurt in the losing fight against the
College All-Stars and he first began
to suffer acute pains after returning
TO the teams hotel after last night S
game and was unable to sleep. Roy
Baker, assistant coach and trainer of
the Redskins, applied ice packs all
night and local physician was called
early this morning to administer a
seoative in an effort to relieve the
pain.
Smith will be kept in the local hos
pital for two or three days and then
will be sent to Washington. His loss
means that the champions will be
without their only two regular quar-
terbacks for the game against the
Texas All-Stars, since it is extremely
doubtful whether Sammy Baugh, tbs
other regular signal caller, whose
wrenched ankle was aggravated early
In last nights game, will be able to
