BY TED MEIER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.


PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 28-The
failure of Sammy Baugh, star of the
champion Washington Redskins, to
appear for yesterdays pro- bowl foot
ball classic at Shibe Park caused
furore that overshadowed the Ma
tional League An-Stars' 17-to-14
victory over the league champions.
Commissioner Elmer Layden or
dered an investigation to bring out
the full facts" Another league
official explained: From all we
know Baugh might have had
legitimate excuse for not showing
up But so far we can find no
legitimate reason for his not notify
ing us that he could not or was not
coming"
Baugh Declares He Tried.
Baugh declared at his Rotan. Tex.
ranch home that Il tried my best to
make the game. They were supposed
to have a car ready for me in Sweet
water (about 80 miles from Rotan)
so 1 could catch plane out Of
Dallas about 1l:50 pm. Saturday
night. The car was not there"
The announcement Baugh would
not play was made late Saturday
night. Many in the crowd of 1851
knew nothing about it when they
appeared at the park.
All proceeds of the game, above
minimum expenses, were turned over
to the United Seamen's Service. The
players were not paid and many of
Baugh's Washington teammates were
reported sore" at his failure to
appear.
George Strickler, director of public
relations for the league said Baugh
was expected here Saturday morning.
two airplane tickets having been
delivered to his home on Tuesday. A
telephone call to Rotan Saturday
afternoon disclosed Baugh wasn't
feeling we'll and didn't think he
could make it.
Made Arrangements, Says Official.
M Dorland Doyle, vice president
of the Washington club, talked with
Baugh and he finally agreed to make
the trip, Strickler declared. adding:
I'VE made arrangements with the
SWeetWater police to give Baugh an
escort to Dallas. He was to get the
ll:30 pm. through plane or if he
missed that the 1;30 m plane for
Washington. Late Saturday we were
informed by the Sweetwater police
Baugh had decided there wasn't
time to get to Dallas so went back
home
Interviewed by telephone at his
ranch home, Baugh said Il can't
help that" when he was told that
some of the Washington players
were reported sore" at him.
Baugh said he had the police at
SWeetWater call the Abilene Airport.
but that the last plane for Dallas
had left at pm
He declared he then tried to get
a taXicab but the driver was in a
movie and when he got out, it was
too late to make the plane connec-
ton.

The gross gate was announced as
$4,000. In addition s90,l70 in War

GOSHEN, N. Y, Aug. 13 CUP) -
Ancient Ben White, the wizard Of
colts, is the first triple Hamble-
tonian winner in trotting history
today because of his confidence in
Ambassador, a big bay colt that
came from behind to win the nth
Hambletonian classic at Good Time
track yesterday.
Other experts told White to give
up on Ambassador last year when
he was lame-suffering from splits
and couldn't race as tWo-year-
old. But White had the splits
fired" and nursed the AmbaSSa-
dor along, starting him for the first
time this year-as three-year-old.
White, who won the Hambleton-
ian behind Mary Reynolds in 1888
and Rosalind in 1886, knew that the
Ambassador had ability although he
never dreamed that he could win
| the Hambletonian. Even on Tues
day, when owenr William H. Strang
of Brooklyn paid the Ambassador s
final $500 starting fee, White-the
69-year-old trainer and driVer-ad-
mitted that he would be satisfied if
the Ambassador finished in the
money, considering the class of
competition.
White doubted that the AmbaSsa-
dor could beat out the highly
touted Colby Hanover, two-year- old
champion of 1941 and fastest run
ming three-year- old of 1912.
But through a combination Of
ability and luck, the crippled colt
of 194l came through and won
S20,48991 for Strang and White, as
we'll as the admiration of the har-
ness world.
Guy Easley, the lean, rd-bitten
secretary of the White training
| stables, told the story of AmbaSsa-
doris victory simply when he said:
The Ambassador stepped out and
ran the mile in 2:O4-tWo seconds
faster than he ever made it before. 3"
The clocking in the third heat
wasn't near the Hambletonian rec
ord, but it was fast enough to let
the Ambassador fall heir to the
three-year-old crown when other
horses like Colby Hanover and Can
non Ball. failed to live up to ex-
pectations when the chips were
down.
The Ambassador was a 20-l long
shot when the II horses were given
the go" in the first heat. He
finished fifth in that contest. Hence
the price on Ambassador heightened
TO 35-1 for the second heat. He won
that one after taking command at
the half mile post and paid his
hackers S68 20, $23 20 and SO 40. This
second heat victory, coupled with
the poor showings of Colby Hanover
and Cannon Ball, made the Am
bassador slight favorite at So
for the third heat But few of the
experts figured him TO win. They
expected some other horse to take
the third heat and force a fourth
heat in which only the three win
ners would compete But the Am

they can expect against the Japs

Coach Red Flaherty OF the Red

the army squad and makes no
bones about his feeling that the
pros will have mammoth job to
do if they win.
But the army teams may have a
little competition from the sailors,
for it has been announced thai
tentative approval of the use OF
officers on the st. Mary's pre-flight
school squad has been given by
Pacific conference officials. This
would allow the school to use such

Stanford's famous T formation for
two years. and Bobby Grayson, who
led Stanford into the Rose Bowl in
1888 -34-35. All of these men are
ensignS at the naval training school
and may join their pupils on the
gridiron.
Both the army and navy teams
have bigger and tougher men with
more experience than have West
Point and Annapolis and would
probably make better game than
do the famous academies that bat
tie once a year. That would be a
game to see.
