CONLON SIGNS TO PLAY
 WITH BOSTON BRAVES
Harvard Baseball Captain in 1922, is Induced to Affix His Signature
 To a Major League Contract.

Boston, Jan. 20 - Jocko Conlon, shortstop and captain of the Harvard nine last spring, yesterday signed to play with the Boston Nationals George w. Grant announced that he finally had shared the young infielder, whose services were sought by nearly all of the other major league clubs. Jack Siattery, the Harvard coach, is connected with the Braves as scout and assistant, so the influence which made Conlon decide in favor of Grants team is easy to trace
 In 1921 and 1922 Conlon received c cup for being the most valuable player on the Harvard team. Last spring he led the Crimson nine in bat ting, with an average of .360. He made two home runs and stole eight bases. Tn fielding his average was 1875. The majors were after Conlon in 1921, but he declined to consider any offers at that time. The Giants approached him. but he refused 10 see one Of their scouts. Last June nig league agents got after Conlon again, but like Mack Aldrich, the Yale cap tain, he refused to turn professional.
 Grant recently offered terms which Conion could not refuse. He is as fast player as the college ranks hay. had since Frisch played with Ford. ham. Jocko is fast in the field and fast on the paths and can hit hard as we'll as field far beyond the average college shortstops. With the Braves, Conlon will get every opportunity to make good as Fred Mitchell needs shortstop.

In the next three it was a ding-dong battle, the honors going to the junior lightweight champion, but Martin forged to the front once more in the seventh. when he pressed Dundee with rights and lefts from every angle. For the remainder of the bout Dundee outboxed and out generated his opponent.
