Baugh Costly To Washington
Washington officials concede Sammy Baugh will cost the Redskins about 1500 extra dollars per game and likely be only 50 percent as effective this season. He must stay on a Texas ranch or be reclassified though he may commute for Sunday games. Baugh’s form against Brooklyn reiterated his reduced value as a passer while his presence still boosts attendance. Frank Filchek may take the lead in the Washington offense on Sunday.
