College Amendment Unlikely.

ON THE other hand, there is little
likelihood that the amendment
whereby professional teams will not
be permitted to sign a college player
until his class has graduated, will pass
the msjor-minor league vote. The pro-
fessionals are not that altruistic in
their desire to promote and maintain
college baseball, although such far
thinkers as George Trautman, presi-
dent Of the American Association, and
q few others are backing the pro-
.posal.
Should baseball adopt such an
agreement it only will be following
the steps Of the National Professional
Football League, which will not sign
college player until he or his class
has graduated. Trautman Is pre-
pared to make stanch fight for the
amendment, but as said before, the
majority Of magnates likely will vote
against the measure.

Powell Consistent in Rumors.

ONE of the "sure things" of the
meeting is the forthcoming sale Of
Pitcher Cain OF Chicago to Detroit.
Dykes has tried to include Cain in
trade but everybody is asking for Ken
nedy or Whitehead. Cochrane needs
pitchers but Is baking at the price
that Dykes Is asking for the veteran
r1ght-hander. The chances are that
Detroit will buy Cain for $4,000.
One Of the "near-sure' trades Is
Rollie Hemsley's shift from the
Browns to the Indians. The tip ID out
that Cleveland will offer Pytlak and
Pitcher Dennis Galehouse for Hemsley.
Maybe this Is one reason why Slapnika
turned thumbs down on the Ferrell-
tor-Pytlak proposition.
The Yankees also are rumored
ready to dicker with the Browns, Red
eox and White Sox. The name Of
Jake Powell figures in nearly all New
York rrmors. One tip Is that Powell
will move to Boston for Pitcher Fritz
Ostermueller. Another is that Jakey
will 60 to the Browns for Jack Knott,
also pitcher The third is that
Powell will be used In trade for White
head Of Chicago.
There is lot Of talk by the base
ball people, but little is said. Rumors
are . dime q dozen. Outside Of Gin

Herschberger Of Newark, and the
Links-for-H -Hogsett swap between WASH

Opinions Differ on Marcum.

THE latest report is that Boston will
send either Johnny Marcum or
Buck Newsom to Detroit in exchange
for Third Baseman Marvin Owen
The Red Sox do not need third base
man but would swap Owen to Chicago
for pitcher, preferably Vernon Ken
nedy or Johnny Whitehead.
If this deal, or a similar one, is
completed, Chicago would be uninter-
ested in any Washington offer except,
possibly, Kuhel for zeke Bonura.
If Marcum should be traded by the
Red Sox, one of Harris secret hopes
would be dashed. Bucky always has
liked Marcum and it is possible that
he will try to land him from Boston
At the major league meeting. When
the baseball scene shifts to Chicago
