Major League Draft Meeting Thursday Chicago, Oct. 31—(VP)— L>u Novikoff. the colorful ".Mad Russian” who claimed the Cuba exiled him to lais Angles last February. wIU Reta chance at the freedom he once demanded tomorrow when majot league club owners meet in the commissioner's offie- for baseball's annual draft. Novikoff, who played the first part of the 1945 season with the Cubs' Los Angeles farm team be* fore entering the army in July, Is eligible for the draft and probably will be one of the few players sought after in the grabbag festival. It was even doubtful that Novikoff, the most publicised |Hayer never to star In lb major leagues, will be considered extra special. He has always been a thundering minor league hitter although he develop'd holes in his bat and glove when with fbe Cubs. Tomorrow's draft, the first to be conducted at Commissioner A B. (Happy) Chandler's desk, probably will see few purchases. In addition to the scarcity of good mater-

lai. most clubs will b* reluctant to add any players to their rosters Inasmuch as they are faced with absorbing returning servicemen. The New York Yankees have n typical expansion problem. Th- - have a backlog of 268 players coming back ant! the Yankee chain probably will have a big enough problem absorbing them without drafting additional men. The two Philadelphia clubs will get the first and second grabs. Ths- Athletics, last-place American league teams, will receive first choice in the draft and the Phillies. as National league tailendera. will get second. The right to draft pastes on up the standings, alternating between the American and National leafrue.

Baugh And Hutson Leading Pro Stars Chicago. Oct. 31—tl'Pl Two of football's all-time great players, were In danger of slipping Into obscurity today because flaw lest perfection has made th»m "monotonous stars.” They are slingin' Sammy Baugh. nt the Washington It daklns and spindlelegged Don Hutson of the Green Bay Packers, whose wlzardy at throwing and citchlnx a pigskin drat startled the professional foot hall world almost a decade ago. But paradoxically, 'hey have hecom-- too good. Down through the years, thia pair of sinewy southerners have continued to make big gains against father time. Instead of growing mellow with the years, th y have become greater—but they make it look too easy. Fans, tired of cheering the same name, and sports writers, searching for new adjectives, have turned to other play rs Now Texas Sammy and Alabama Donald ar.* taken for granted and receive th--1 most publicity when they haae a | "bum day”. But weekly national fooball leag-1 ue statistics rel axed today show i that Baugh. 31. the Rotan. Tex. rancher with the rifle-shot arm. and Hutson. 32, the Green Bay bowling proprietor with the sticky Angers remain the greatest in tlw-ir depart menu the game has ev< r seen.

Slingin' Sammy Baugh has pitch-1 ed 88 passes and connected 911 time for 781 yards and a .694 ar•’ ••rage, an all-lime high for the wll-| lowy Texan. That's hitting seven out of 10 throws, cont|»arable to winning 30 games in baseball's major leagues. Hutson is running neck-and-ne< k with Sammy. The "Darling of Green Bay" has caught 29 of th • Packers' 40 completed passes for 6.13 yards, and has scored 75 points, 48 percent of Green Buy's total. With the pro season at the halfway mark, Hutson and Baugh stand Sky-level high as the two ending candidates for tip! moa»-valuable-player award For in addition to their individual excellence, on paper, they are the principal reasons their respective teams ar* at the top of the NFL. Rookie Bob Watarfield of the Cleveland Rams has crashed the bigtime with a loud noise and undoubtedly will receive a lot of votes. There’s Steve Van Bureau, the Eagles' sophomore sensation. But considering the excellence that Is pushing Baugh and Hutson Into limbo, there's nobody close.

Only minor changes took place in (th* NFL Individual depart mentu during the pas. week. Baugh’s teammate. tailback Frank Akins, tightened his hold on first place in the groundgaining division, boosting his foitrgame total to 338 yards In 87 al tempts for a 5 ylrd average. Philadelphia’s Van Buren retnaind second with 278 yards in 41 attempts for a 6.7 average. The Chicago Bears’ Bld Luckman still was running second to his old foe. Baugh, with a total of 53 eompleUses in 166 attempts for 725 yards and a .530 percentage. Hutson remains a “shoo In" in the scoring and pass receiving departments, where he has grabbed top honors for the past six years
