Curtis Weathers also is working for East Baab already is working out at Big Creek, the first member of the Browns to be gin daily workouts there.

He is speaking at the Chautauqua (N.Y.) Hall of Fame luncheon, March 10. Baab makes himself out to be a bi Texan but his dad was born in Wooster. pitching staff the reverse guarantee is more likely. PASSING THOUGHTS It was typical of Red Ruffing to insist there be no funeral or fanfare at his death. He was a straight-shooting, hard-throwing guy who couldn't stand flamboyancy of any kind.

I visited him occasionally at his Beachwood home and it was sad to see this Hall of Famer in a wheelchair, suffering from a stroke and cancer. Yet he never complained about his lot. He did the best he could. Red was the last to be able to verify that Babe Ruth actually called his home run shot against Charley Root of the Chicago ubs in the third game of the 1932 World Series. Ruffing sat next to Ruth on the bench and when the Babe returned after rounding the bases he asked the Babe, "What would you have done if you hadn't hit the homer?" Replied Ruth, "I would have looked like a damn my visits to the Ruffing home I became an admirer of his wife, Pauline.

She not only had to take care of Red, who could do little for himself, she also took care of her 90-year old deaf and partially blind mother and also held a job at Highland View Hospital to aug omeihmgNew 'i Excellent Selection All 88s Immediate Delivery mmMkMmii mm 1986 OLDS DELTA 88 ROYALE Here's the perfect marriage of quality, craftmanship, and high tech innovation with front-wheel drive.

Prices starting as low as 13,500. fmiLoesvaoeiLE fVGRAM BIG MOVE Gary Danielson has his spacious home in Detroit up for sale and has put a bid on a house in Westlake. Normally this real estate item would be a one-liner deep in the column but under the circumstances it now has special significance.

Danielson has been a life-long Detroiter. His family, friends and the friends of his kids are there. That he is pulling up these roots at this stage of career and planting new ones here means he intends to be a Browns' quarterback for some time. It reveals he has confidence his shoulder, which required surgery for a torn rotator cuff, will heal completely. He now swims each morning and has a full range of arm motion while in the water.

Out of the water he can't swing it completely bu he's getting there. In the afternoon he does a series of prescribed exercises to strengthen the arm. Tuesday he returns to Cleveland Clinic for a checkup and expects a good report card. PAUL PONDERS Paul McDonald phoned from his California home the other day to find out what's going on here. And he didn't mean the weather.

He says he doesn't intend to return to the Browns as the No. 3 quarterback. He could tolerate the backup role, but under no circumstances would he stick around just to be the placekick holder. He knows his large contract makes it tough for the Browns to trade him and he would be "willing to negotiate it down," meaning take a cut, if it would help land him a spot on a club that would play is aware the Browns -can't consider trading him now. "I know they have to wait until they find out how Gary's arm is," he says.

He has been throwing daily at a football field near his home in Laguna Browns, too, want to move Paul if Danielson is okay. They don't want to continue to be second-guessed for not playing Danielson is solid again, there will be th old quarterback Controversy, even if McDonald isn't around. Bernie Kosar probably will start but fans will be clamoring for Daniel son the instant Bernie the reason Kosar didn't get to throw many passes last season was that Coach Marty Schottenheimer, noting how often he was sacked, decided to protect the rookie's body and confidence by going to the run almost exclusively. MANCHILD I saw Jimmy Connors' petulant act in the Lipton Open last Friday and if I owned a company for whom the tennis pro did TV commercials I'd take him off the air immediately. What an awful example of sporstmanship.

What a baby. So he got a call against hi m. He picks up his marbles and goes home. Is that what we're trying to teach our youngsters? Playing by the rules is part of the game. The rules in all sports say a judgment call must be accepted.

There is a proper way to complain. But to walk off? Is that what a mature person does? People pay to see a pro win or lose on the field. Not to see him quit. He couldn't be representing my company after such an inexcusable act. I thought Jimmy was growing up.

I was wrong. He apparently must think he's bigger than the game. I hope he draws a huge fine and a long suspension. Hurrah for the officials who stuck to the rules and refused to bend to the star or to the fools in the crowd who supported his histrionics. Ironioally, as a member of the Association of Tennis Professionals Connors help ed write the rules and one of them was to make it an absolute no-no to act as he did.

Although it's really irrelevant, the replays indicated the linesman's call appeared to be correct. Could it be that Jimmy, realizing his close match with Ivan Lendl was about to slip away, decided to blame someone else the official for his impending defeat? Ironically, he got more ink out of losing that way and probably will get more commercials. Makes me want to regurgitate. I won't buy any products he endorses until he reveals he has grown up.

SAYS WHO? Attornies of my acquaintence now think less of Howard Cosell as a lawyer after his statement that the USFL has a can't lose case against the NFL because the established league has a lock on the TV networks and controls them.

They think Cosell's bitterness against ABC-TV and Pete Rozelle corroded his thinking. They point out that the networks care only about one thing: sponsors. And sponsors care only about the size of the audience. If the networks could have sold commercial time for USFL games they would have fallen all over themselves trying to sign a contract with the league. When ABC, which took the gamble on the league initially, found it couldn't sell the time it refused to renew its contract.

Cosell, having been close to radio and TV all his life, should know Chicago Tribune sent two reporters to cover the Vietnam war, three to cover the last presidential election and 26 to cover the Bears-Patriots in the Super Bowl. Talk about priorities. ON THE AIR The Browns are sponsoring the pre-game Kevin Mac-key show on the broadcasts of Cleveland State University's remaining basketball game. Shows the Browns want to help CSU at their own expense. The games will be aired over WJMO-1490 kc, while Art Modell, the Browns' boss, is an owner of rival WWWE-1100.

WWWE was interested in doing CSU's games but too many dates were in conflict wi th Cavs' games which already are on the return of Doug Dieken to WEWS-Channel is a dead issue. The TV station broke off negotiations. It's 5's Franklin now does a couple of weekend call-in talk shows for KMOX, St. Louis, and those close to that station say it is too traditional and conservative for Pete's "scumbag" accusations now heard on WWWE and he's going to have to tone down for that audience. Wanna Wellman, producer of the Browns' games for WWWE, is job-hunting now that the grid season is over.

A top drawer talent. GOOD NEWS The Indians, who haven't been known to be the smartest operators, must be complimented on rehiring Fred Heinlen to run baseball clinics for them.
