CHICAGO, May g. Up Lou
Novikoff, the Chicago Cubs $780,
900 bench decoration, says he is
getting ready to start a Russian
offensive.
His confidence was restored yes
terday when he spanked a single
against the Pittsburgh Pirates as
pinch hitte1-the first time he
had been to bat this season. The
fans yelled their approval when
he waddled to the plate.
The Mad Russian, who never hit
below 1868 in three minor leagues
is going to be given a chance for
only to flop as big league rookie,
regular job with the Cubs by
new Manager Charlie Grimm.
Baseballs forgotten man thinks
he can bat for Grimm. He notched
a neat $40 in 80 games for
Grimm's Milwaukee Brewers il
1871 after the Aries had dispatched
him there on option. The next year
he returned to the Cubs, becoming
the only 800 hitter on the club.
On the basis of this showing,
Novikoff held out for a reported
SIC, 900 in 1943, finally signed and
rushed into Chicago as the teams
savior. He flunked, getting only rs
games and waving his bat for a
sick .279.
Before Jimmy Wilson resigned
as manager a week ago, Novikoff
was reported being billeted by the
Cubs only because he was regard
ed as fodder for a deal. But
Grimm likes the guy.

NEW YORK, May 8.-tR-Minor
league commissioner William G..
Bramham' has EN- emitted justi-
fable yelp over the growing prac-
tice of pro baseball clubs signing
high school and college kids dur
ing school terms, but we think he
might have enlarged on the rea-
sons for his objections.
Bramham's concern mainly was
the interference with the eligibility
of the student as it pertained to
school athletics, and the idea the
practice would incur the disfavor
Of the very institutions whose
good will professional baseball
is very anxious to promote.
AS an added, and perhaps
chief, objection we would consider
the fact that such signings are. not
fair to the kids, who naturally are
delighted and flattered by the at
-tention of the pro clubs, and are
prone to quit school at the earliest
opportunity to cash in on their
talents.
Baseball has come a long ways
since the early days when pro
players were considered more or
less roughnecks whose presence at
more genteel spots was discour-
aged, and a factor in this upgrade
travel has been the entrance into
the game of men with sound edu-
cations.
To influence kids who have not
completed high school to quit their
search for learning in favor of an
immediate baseball career would
seem to be a step backward.
The pro footballers have taken
a wise attitude toward signing col
lege athletes. Until recently col
legian couldn't play on a national
pro league team until his class
had been graduated and he had
used up his eligibility. This has
been changed so that college men
who have quit school and have
no intention of returning may be
signed, but that is a development
OF the war emergency.

SPORTS TRAIL

Pro baseball clubs rely a great
deal on tips from high school and
college coaches in lining up pros
poets, and mourning the displeas-
ure of these tutors would be like
cutting the supply line as far as
the pro clubs are concerned, as a
coach isn't going to tell scout
about the great shortstop prospect
he has if the scout is going to sign
him up pronto, thus ending the
usefulness of the lad as far as the
coach is concerned. $500
. But it's the interference with the
education of the kids that should
be of the greatest concern. A high
school boy can't see any farther
ahead than tomorrow, and as he'd
rather play baseball than eat, and
can get paid for doing it, that's
what he'll do and he won't worry
about 10 or Is years hence when
a little learning he might acct
dentally pick up through finishing
school might come in handy.
