NEW YORK, April 13.-Al-
though there's nothing in the
wording of the new draft ruling
regarding men over 26 that even
hints at the status of ball players,
some baseball men who have their
ears tuned to Washington wave
lengths insist that it means their
athletes won't be called. The
Army doesn't want 'em and they
won't try to force ball players
into war jobs" said one. IT'S
like the limited servicemen. They
told us down there, there's only
one place for those fellows and
that's right on your ball clubs.
Six Maryland outfits have Or
gained the Sd Service Command
Baseball League to operate this
summer and six more around
Chicago, including two Great
Lakes small" teams have banded
in the Midwest service loop.
Wonder why the other G. I.
clubs that are going to play a lot
of games against one another,
anyway, don't adopt the same
plan? At least it would lead to
fewer (and probably louder
arguments about what outfit has
the best club. For instance,
Virginia and the Carolinas alone
probably will have two dozen
strong teams, with former pros
and college stars manning most
of them, but so far there's no
sign of flag race.

DR.. George w. Orion, former
Pennsylvania track coach, says the
4-minute mile not only is possible,
but it has been done-81 years ago,
with the aid of stiff wind.
Orion, who was a great distance
runner almost so years ago, wrote
from New Hampshire to Ed Pollock,
Philadelphia Evening Bulletin sports
writer:
You will be surprised to know
that a runner once beat minutes
for the mile. His name was w. G..
Lang. In 1868, he did fraction
under 4 minutes on straightaway
course.
Because of the wind, Lang was not
credited with the record. However,
in the same year, he ran miles in
9:l1.5, a record that stood for Al
years.
DR.. Orion has changed his mind
about the 4-minute mile without
help from nature. Ten years ago he
thought it could not be done. Now
he says, cit will take a runner like

Conn, who went - rounds with
Louis in June, 1941, after giving the
champion boxing lesson for the
first 80 minutes believes age Is in
his favor for a postwar fight.
I'm only 26, you know" he went

this year and no matter how good
they are age will get EN-"
Conn, looking in the pink, said
he tipped the scales today at 1877
pounds, a 13-pound gain over his
weight against Louis.
Conn believes that their postwar
bout will bring one of fight history

CHICAGO, April 49, Arthur
Dutch Lonborg. Northwestern Uni
versitys basket ball coach, says he
doesn't think officials will have such
a terrible time with their 1915
whistle footing under the rules re-
Gently adopted by the National
Basket Ball Committee.
Lonborg came to the rule makers
defense after Nick Kearns, veteran
Midwestern official, denounced the
changes as placing too heavy a
burden on the officials.
Il like that five-foul rule" Lon
borg stated. THE games a great
deal faster-and, incidentally, 10
minutes shorter-since the elimina-

more fouls have been called. The
