ARRlEIKA
By HENRY L. FARRELL
United Press Sports Editor

NEW YORK, July 22-When Mac
Aldrieh and Jack Conlon, two of the
outstanding college stars of the season,
turned down flattering offers to play
major league baseball, the chirp was
heard-'sWise boys, those boysi'
Which brings up a popular argument
on professional baseball as a field for
6 college graduate.
Some time ago, Commissioner Landis,
who is very proud of his son, was asked
what advice he would give the boy if
he wanted to enter professional base
ball and the commissioner refused to
answer.
Frank Frisch, Jack Barry, George
Sisler, Eddie Collins, Arthur Nehf,
Christy Mathewson, Joe Sewell, Wally
Pipp, Derrill Pratt, Bill Ryan, "Doc !"
Lavam, Joe Dugan, Carson Bigbee.
Lloyd Christenbury, George Cutshaw,
Frank Ellerbe, Joe Evans, Horace Ford,
Larry Gardner, Cliff Heathcote, Harry
Hooper, Bill Killifer, Larry Kopf, Dave
Robertson, Iris Speaker, Milton Stock,
Zeb Terry, Red Faber, Herb Leonard,
Duster Mails, Al Mamaux, Lee Mea-
dows, Joe Oesehger, Eppa Rixey, Lefty
Tyler, and Jack Watson are all college
men and have been successful in their
chosen field.
But the question arises, how will they
be prepared for the long days after
their eyes weaken, their arms go lame
and their legs give outs
The career of the ordinary profes-
sional baseball player gives out when
a man in other walks of life is just
getting good start.
1t can be pointed out that it would
be a long time before young doctor
or a young lawyer could draw down
the stipend of Babe Ruth, but it must
be remembered also that Ruth went
through 10 lean years before he crashed
through to the top.
By the same application and with the
same talent at law or medicine, a young
college graduate ought to do almost as
good after 10 years labor and he would
just be getting started.
Some of the big basebalI lights have
q profession to turn to when their play
ing days are over. Lavan and Evans
are doctors. Hughey Jennings is a
lawyer. Art Nehf is mechanical engi
neer. Muddy" Ruel is studying law.
Speaker is a contractor.
IS Some Of the smart players, who have
made big money and divided world IS
series spoils, have made good invest
ments and have q pile tucked away for
the rainy day. There aren t enough of
them, however, to make team.
