Baugh Dropped From All Star Roster For Alleged Absence
Elmer Layden announced Sammy Baugh was dropped from the league all stars for willful failure to participate in a benefit at Philadelphia on December 27. Baugh, then with the Washington Redskins, had been ill and delayed travel from his Rotan Texas ranch, with transportation issues cited as the reason for missing the trip. The league stated no violation occurred but penalties followed under the circumstances. Dick Todd of Washington was expected to notify officials of Baugh’s inability to attend, a plan that faced criticism as the event proceeds funded the United Seamen service.
