King of the Rangers" he dutifully
mouthed the words handed him in the
script He got paid for it. 1t was standing
gag that Sam regularly plunked down so
cents every Saturday afternoon at Ninth
street cinema palace to see how the plot
unfolded. His big line was, "C'mon gal,
we've gotta git goin'."
Maybe it wasn't an artistic success, but
it was money in Sans Lewis.
CURIOUSLY, BAUGH took his finan-
cial dealings with Marshall for granted. We
remember sitting in the Redskins office one
summer afternoon some years ago when
Sam telephoned from Texas He never
wrote. In fact, the Redskins seldom heard
from him from one football season to the
next, so he and George Marshall had quite
a bit to say.
by the way, SAM" George interrupted
we've got some money of yours in the bank
here"
There was a little more conversation
before Marshall put the receiver back on
the cradle.
didn't even ask how much money we had
for him. Just said they had nice rain in
Texas last night"
But Sam could be as stubborn as
mule, too, as Wismer discovered He sat
stoically on the bench one gray afternoon
in New York, turning a deaf ear to
MarshalrS plea to go back into game al
ready hopeleSsly lost. Sam didn't see much
sense in putting on show for the folks
when it couldn't pay off.
BAUGH'S VERBAL JOUSTS with
coaches during blackboard drills were
famous.
That's all right for you to say the half
backs gonna move that man out of the mid
die" he once said to Clark ShaughneSsy,
pointing to the board "but on Sunday that
* is Bucko Kilroy, and we amt gonna
move him that easy"
Sam and Harry parted on the best of
terms. WiSmer, in his usual, unpredictable
fashion, said he might even make the Texan
a director of the club. Sam was no less
generous.
eff there's any way can help the
Titans I'd be happy to do So" he said. 'Ill
be glad to scout for the club or talk to a
prospect anything"
Nobody thought to ask how much he
wanted for this.
