NEW YORK, Feb. 28 (U. P).— Mile King Glenn Cunningham, unbeaten in his last 10 starts, will make his supreme effort to lower the world’s record of his favorite distance Thursday on Dartmouth’s

129 Wa Wash, St. posi Theater

By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer -

NEW YORK, Feb. 28—As you may have noted thé preacher men of sport have ‘been doing a great deal of bosom pounding and mane shaking on the growing intimacy between the sleek, oily club owners of major league baseball and the red necked, adenoidal rubes of college baseball. Parson Branch Rickey, an oldtime hell-and-damnation circuit rider out of St. Louis, lifts his pious hands in irate protest, insisting in simple folksey words that his followers can understand, that it ain't right for these rich city felJIows to be a-se-ducing the minds of - these poor young fellows with filthy lucre. Amen! Brother John Griffith, another stern fundamentalist, who ministers to the right thinking and the right living in the Big Ten Conference, rolls his weary eyes upward in great pity for the worldly-thinded and mumurs, “Ill have to put in with the old parsdn on that.” What has happened is this: For the past several years most of the major league club owners have been sending desirable looking baseball prospects through college, paying

. | all their expenses, and in turn tak-

ing the gamble that they may be of value later on as professionals.

9 | Led by Parson Rickey and supported by brothers Griffith, a fight has

been started to stop the practice. Over the week-end I talked with Jack Coffey, graduate manager of

8 athletics at Fordham, about the sit-

uation. An old league ball player

64 himself, he also coaches the base-

ball varsity. It developed he was not altogether unfamiliar with the growing conflict between the majors and certain college elements. ° He was inclined to view the whole

89 | thing as immaterial.

“Personally, I don’t see any harm in a big league club sending a young man through college,” said Mr. Coffey. “Do you think there would be any widespread complaint if the Metropolitan Opera people made a practice of sending young

- | tenors through vocal colleges or

whatever you call them? It amounts

|to the same thing. Why discrimi-

nate against the voung ball player, especially if he turns out to be a good student.”

Certain Abuses Likely

Mr. Coffey admitted the practice invited certain abuses, such as the coach chiseling in as sales agent for prospects not already committed.

this could be eliminated but the coach may feel he has an equity in the transaction, since he developed the boy, and the boy, who has probably grown close to him, may feel the same way about it. All you can ever do in such: circumstances

81 is put your trust in the character

of your coach and hope he doesn’t

5 | get you into some sort of mess.”

From the preacher men the big beef against the unholy alliance is directed at classroom upheavals. They say the majors raid the.class rooms whenever they please and that the young men, being on their

You can count on the fingers of one hand the number of men who . ¢éame out of colleges—graduated, I mean—and stayed in the big leagues. And the number of undergraduates who turned their backs on the classrooms for one reason or another, and made good in the majors right off is even smaller than that. The percentage of such speedy success is all against the player and the club owner knows it.” Mr. Coffey insists no individual at Fordham has an agreement with any big league club and being the athletic director as well as the base-

“If the majors attempt to tamper with one of our undergraduates I'd

yell to the high heavens, but as I say, that's entirely unlikely, not only in our case but generally speaking. For one thing it would create a very bad public impression and, what is more pertinent, why do it at all? “Immature collegians are seldom. of any value to a big league outfit. the one or two traditional exceptions notwithstanding. From wha: I hear, the club owners, far from trying to lure the young men from the classrooms, insist on their graduating, And for good, solid, business reasons. The young men stand to learn just as much baseball, possibly more, from college coaches (the good ones, I mean) than they would in the minors. So when they finally do graduate they will almost be

Ben Johnson of Columbia equaled the 60-meter dash record of 6.6 which he shares with Jesse Owens in retaining his title. Don Lash, Indiana's two-mile world record holder, bettered the

American native mark for the 5000 meter run, finishing in 14:39.0. This

was 6.8 seconds under the mark of 14:45.8 set by Norman Bright of

When the holdout squabble ise: ended, Manager Joe McCarthy expects to have his old, thundering batsmen—Lou Gehrig (351), Joe Di Maggio (.346), Bill Dickey (.332)— and . his 20-game pitchers, Vernon Gomez and Charley Ruffing. Around these offensive stars again will be the familiar names of Red Rolfe and Frank Crosetti on the infield, Myril Hoag and George Sel-. kirk in the outfield, and Pitchers Monte Person, Irving (Bump) Hadley ‘and Johnny Murphy. The only change in the cast is the absence of Tonny Lazzeri, old “Poosh ‘Em Up Tony,” who asked for his release to join the National League Cubs as player-coach. Lazerri’s old job at second base may cause McCarthy some worry. He is grooming rookie Joe Gordon, 23-year-old Newark star, and may fall back on Bill Knickerbocker, who came to the Yanks in a deal that sent Don Heffner to the Browns.
