Education to Play Ball.

1T seems shame to see so many
schoolboys signing big league con-
tracts" says Arthur Duffey, the for
mer champion Splinter. THE fact that
an exceptional star makes good now
and then, and his name is heralded
throughout the country, seems to serve
as a magnet that draws on the youths.
with their eyes blinded to all else.
There is no doubt" Duffey con-
tinues, that professional ball playing
Is an honorable and lucrative business,
but If the youths woh sign contracts
when they are hardly of age, would
only continue their schooling. they
would be getting experience and edu-
cation at the same time If the reports
OF high school boys who have not
made good, and are playing In some
backyard league, were given as much
publicity as those Of the stars who
have made good, many of these bush
ers would have a profession to fall
back on and an education that would
stand by them all through their lives"
