College baseball is proving a
fertile field for major league club
owners.
The recent signing OF "Jocko"
Conlon. star shortstop OF Harvard.
by the Boston Braves, has again
attracted attention TO the colleges
as a training field for major league
players.
A perusal OF the major league
squads shows that from six to
twelve collegians are in every ono
Of the 16 teams comprising the
major league circuits.
Connie Mack, who originated the
college idea in major league base
ball, at one time had the field all TO
himself, as most major league man
ayers didn't care to nurse the col
legians along. Now it's different.
1t ds a peculiar fact that John
McGraw, who once stunned the
college ball players, now leads in
them.
Twelve players in the Giants
squad are ex-collegians. McGraw is
strong for the "rah rah!" boys.

BY HENRY J.. FARRELL,

u Omitted Press Sports Editor.
NEW YORK, Feb. . Omitted
Press).-No mounted umpires will
be riding around the gardens in the
major league baseball parks next
season. The possibility OF putting
the arbiters on steeds hadn't been
disclosed until some one advanced
the question as TO how the umpires
could rule on hit under Ban John
sons zone system for homo runs.
Bans new ideas about the elimi-
nation OF the freak home runs have
been passed up, according 10 Com
missioner lands and since they are
dead numbers IL Is not necessary TO
get out the charts and blue prints
ana explain how Ban wanted to
make a home run what 1t was when
IL wasn't.
Briefly. It was a proposal 20 paint
lines or zones around the parks.
Balls hit between the closest lines
would be doubles. etc.
The more that radical proposals
are made 20 change the baseball
rules, the more IL becomes evident
that no changes are needed.
As long as the magnates are
building parks with home run fields,
St IS not consistent to adopt rules TO
make the clouts harder.
After all. as Commissioner Ian
dis says, It IS apparent from the at
tendance figures that the fans like
homo runs. The club owners don't
care anything about home runs or
baseball. They are selling something
for profit and IL the customers
would pay to see Uncle Toms Cabin
every day the mags woul1 buy the
hounds and ice.
During the winter meetings. when
all kinds OF amendments for the
present code and new clauses were
being discussed, cap" Huston. the
