APPEALS COURT
SETS ASIDE DR..
COOKS PAROLE

New Orleans, June IA R.-The
United States court of appeals today
reversed the decsiion Of the district
court of northern Texas which granted
five year probation to DR.. Frederick
A. Cook, former explorer, now serving
fourteen year sentence for using the
mails to defraud.'
The refusal of the court of appeals
probation act of March 4, 1925, in an
| ed another step in the test of the
to grant the probationary period mark
attempt to settle several controversial
points.
The decision, held that the language
| of the probationary act ''does not jus
! tify the conclusion that it was intend
ed to release from imprisonment a
person confined in execution of a con-
viction rendered at a term of court
which has expired, or that it changed
modified or to any extent repealed or
superseded the statutes dealing with
that subject" -
Nothing in the probation act indi-t
Gates an intention of the expiration of
a term of court on The courts control
or Jurisdiction of a case in which a
final Judgment was Rendered in that
| term" the decision Said
"If the probation act authorized the
making OF such an order each court ex-
ercising the power granted may, as to
any imprisoned convict, set at naught
the limitations and restrictions Of the
parole and communication statutes
leaving the system established by
those statutes in force only so far as
each court is mentioned, in the exer-7
else OF an unrestricted discretion, may
permit it to remain in force"
DR.. Cook was convicted in November
1925 in the northern Texas district
court and was sentenced to serve four
teen years and nine months in the
United States penitentiary at Leaven-
worth, Kansas, and to pay a fine of
$1,000, on each of the IL counts on
which he was convicted. The judg-
ment was confirmed by the court of
appeals at New Orleans in February
1925. In February, 1927 while confin-
ed, the court in which he was convict
ed granted a parole petition and re-
voked the commitment order placing
him under probation for five wears.

Too Many Exhibition Games
Are the major league clubs playing
too many exhibition games in the
spring?
The number of serious injuries that
have befallen various stars has
created that impression Already a
half dozen outstanding players in
the majors are on the hospital list.
The trouble, it seems, is due to
the fact that the clubs are starting
the exhibition games before the
players are properly conditioned to
stand the rigors of severe competition.
Coupled with this is the fact that
many of the jumps in Florida must
be made by bus, the players making
the round trip on the same day,
which doesn't help.
Got i'm Game Too Quickly
Babe Ruth, after securing a three
year contract with the New York
club, made the journey southward.
There was much bal1yhoo about the
contract as we'll as his arrival in
the land of sunshine, as the press
agent would say.
Ruth made his triumphal entry
into st. Petersburg, Fla, the training
camp of the Yankees. on Monday.
He had only two days practice when
he jumped into the lineup against
the Cincinnati Reds.
The biggest crowd that ever at
tended game at Orlando, Fla, was
drawn thither to see Ruth. The
Babe really wasn't in shape to start.
In the fourth inning one of his legs
gave way under him, he tripped over
third base and the next day he was
on crutches
Trying to play too soon in order
to please the fans who had come
to see him do his stuff set him
Views of Cincinnati Manager
A number of the major league
clubs play from 20 to 80 ball games
in the spring. At least one-third
of these are staged before the play
ers are in shape to go at top speed.
l discussed this question with Jack
Hendricks, smart manager of the
Cincinnati Reds. He said:
81 fear we are all making a mistake
in trying to get in too many
exhibition games.
"It is all right to say that the
exhibition games don't count, there-
fore shouldn't be taken too seriously,
but that is all the bunk A ball
player with the proper spirit wants
to win. That's the rub
'In a close game he forgets all
about the exhibition. stuff and takes
chances that are foolhardy, CONSIDER
ing the stakes. However, a player,
when he realizes daring slide may
win him the decision doesn't stop to
think, it is only an exhibition game.
"As matter of fact 1 wouldn't
have any use for such a ball player
on my team. He wouldn't be the
winning type"
Perhaps Policy Is All Wrong
Perhaps it is the policy under which
a number of teams come south that
is responsible for this condition.
In a great many cases the clubs
are guaranteed, we will say, $4,000
for training expenses. In return they
agree to play so many exhibition
games in order to permit the different
cities to get some of this money
back.
Naturally the more games, the more
filthy lucre, which possibly explains
the top-heavy schedules that many
clubs are playing.
It's a mistake. The teams primarily
come south to condition themselves.

the case in Florida with announcement
having been made that the Giants
would return next year to Sarasota;
the Athletics to Fort Myers; the Robins
to Clearwater; the Cardinals to Avon

seven of the eleven clubs have decided
to return to familiar scenes, while the
others have not openly expressed
training plans for 1928, word was be-
ing circulated that the White Sox will
shift their base from Shreveport La,
to Daytona, Fla, for the next year.
All teams will not be under way
north for several days, as many will
remain in the old camps, while some
will barnstorm their respective sec
tions. All were to be hitting the rails
before April L. however.
With three clubs having broken
