The signing of Singleton, who held out for more dough and didn't get it, leaves four Seals to The town is buzzing yet over the Strange Case of Clark Shaughnessy. Owner Dan Reeves says that Shaughnessy "resigned" as coach of the Los Angeles Rams. This is the same as throwing $30,000 down a rathole and Mr. Shaughnessy has never been known to be careless in money matters. Hence, Shaughnessy, with an Ironclad contract in his pocket which calls for that sum for the next two years, says he was "fired." All of it was quite sudden.

Bob Waterfield, in Palm Springs when the story hit the papers, told me that he had not heard one whisper of the Strange Case of Clajk Shaugh-riessy until a day or two before. That, incidentally, was a day or two before Shaughnessy heard about it. What happened? Sliaughncssy says he docs not know. Reeves is saying nothing beyond his original statement. The latter was none too clear, so let's dig back and see what we can see come to terms.

Solons Open Drills Minus Three Holdouts ANAHEIM, Feb. 22 Two regular infielders and a pitcher from the majors were still unsigned today as the Sacramento Solons opened their spring train that might have led up to the 1 -an growl. All squads growl under all successful coaches. That's because a successful coach is one who works his men and works them hard.

You can't be successful on football fields unless you do work hard and long on practice fields. What some of the boys used to say about Pop Warner, Howard Jones and Knute Rockne could hardly be printed. And those same things are now said of the Leahys, Blaiks and. their counterparts. But no one takes those growls seriously, either.

Any time that Shaughnessy barked at a player under him it was only because that player was not doing what he was taking money to do. A pay-for-play boy should not need to be handled with kid gloves, albeit a pleasant correction is a happier one for all concerned. Any time Shaughnessy worked his assistants it was because he was paying them to work. As for the "others in the Ram organization," Shaughnessy is supposed to have told off a couple of hired hands who got in his hair. One, at least, knows nothing of football and both should have learned, early in their associations with Shaughnessy, that he has little patience with anyone who is not football-wise.

Now we come to what, your Flinger suspects, is the real beef. Shaughnessy reputedly criticized the "front office" of the Ram organization which means Owner Dan Reeves in that he stated he wished it was more progressive. He told that, I am informed, to one of the Ram-owner partners. The next time he saw Dan Reeves he was fired. In between, players were interviewed, assistants questioned and, by coincidence, Shaughnessy was asked by an intermediary if he would consider coaching the Chicago Cardinals.

He saici he was happy with the Rams. It is unfortunate that the situation had to arise. Certainly if any real beef was brewing, progressive front office action would have stopped it long before the boiling point was reached. As it is, the Rams have been having so many coaches follow one another that it is going to become increasingly difficult to hire a top hand. The job is getting tougher, too; football players are most likely not to listen too closely when they suspect a coach is not going to around very long.

Reeyes mentioned internal friction between Shaughnessy, his assistant coaches, his players and "others in the Ram organization." So let's tackle that first. Shaughnessy is probably the hardest worker in He lives and breathes the game. It is probable he dreams football, too. Certain it is that he talks little else.

During a season he is up early and he works late. He asks that his. assistants do likewise. When Shaughnessy was at Stanford Jim Lawson, then his assistant, told me he never worked harder or longer hours in his life than he was doing under Shaughnessy. "But, boy," added Jim.

he know football and am I learning things." Yes, I hfard Shaughnessy's assistants growling about how hard he was working them last season. But it was not then meant to be nor was it taken seriously. Indeed, George Trafton talked right in front of Shaughnessy and the story was printed here. So let's not take that one as a basic cause. Indeed, it is difficult to weep over any beef from any assistant football coach to the effect that he is being worked too hard at SS500 and up per annum.
