WASHINGTON. March 11. iAV-
Its getting so a baseball player
can t say • ain't” without some col-
lege-bred teammate lifting an eye-
brow.
At the rate college athletes have
been invading baseball it appar-
ently won't be long before a major-
ity can tag a degree after their
names.
Not so long ago players were
judged somewhat by the forceful-1
ness of their language and the sise
of their chew of tobacco. Now-
managers are interested in their
college experience and who coach-
ed them.
Several youngsters getting trials
at major league spring camps came
straight from university campuses
Ace Parker. Duke's All-America
football ace and Floyd Yount
Wake Forest star are being in-
spected by Connie Mack of the A’s.
Morris Sands who batted .448

Many American League stars are
college men Luke Appling. Chicago
shortstop who won the batting
championship last season played
at Oglethorpe in Georgia.
Lou Gehrig of the Yankees got
his start at Columbia University.
Manager Gordon Mickey" Coch-
rane of Detroit played at Boston
University. Pitcher Tommy Bridges
of Detroit starred at Tennessee
while Charley Gehringer went to
Michigan and Hank Greenberg to
New York University.
Other former college stars in-
clude:
Frank Higgins of Texas with
Boston and Roy Bell of Texas A

NEW YORK. March 11. Joe

automobile accident on the eve of

American Bowling congress in the

nesday night but he’s Just as cocky
as ever. Despite little encourage-
ment from his doctor he's sure he’ll

Calotabs He

behalf of Its contract for Braddock
to fight Max Schmeling for the title
In New York June 3.
Despite the novel efforts of
Schmeling himself to promote a
title fight with Braddock this year in
Berlin the multiple Interests back-
ing the Chicago bout are going right
ahead because they have the inside
track and they know they have the
biggest heavyweight money-maker
available.
Which means that Madison Square
Garden seemingly has lost its ex-
clusive hold on the heavyweight
industry including the titleholder.
The blow is more severe to the
Garden's pride than its balance
sheet. The heavyweight title has
been more of a gold brick than a
gold mine since Rickard died in 1929.
Boxing nowadays comprises less
than five percent of the Garden’s
financial operations due not alone
to the decline of its fistic interests
but also to a policy of building up
prestige in other spheres of sport.
The great Rickard nevertheless
would have "seed nuthin’ like it." if
he could return today to find his
buccessors holding an apparently
worthless contract for the next
heavyweight title fight while rivals
go forward defiantly with arrange-
ments for a championship match in

travaganza.
Rickard never lost control of the
heavyweight situation.
Chairman Outlines
A A U Amateur Code
LOS ANGELES. March 11. 4/P/—
Lorrin Andrews new chairman of
the A.A.U. rules committee outlined
Thursday the code reforms he hopes
will "give the A.A.U. beck to the
athletes."
“My idea is to let the boys and
girls compete in amateur athletics
as long as they take no money and
do nothing that is vicious." the
white-haired Los Angelee attorney
said.
“First and most Important Is the
rule having to do with the public
announcement of intention to be-
come a professional. It led to the
suspension of Jesse Owens it is un-
fair and quite absurd We want to
change it so that any man who com-
petes as a pro or accepts money be-
comes a pro. but not until then.”

TOP PITCHERS
Team Stronger Than That
Of Last Year
However
ORLANDO Fla.. March 11. wP>— ]
Give Bucky Harris a well rounded
pitching staff and he may come up
with the big surprise package of the
American League pennant festivities
this year.
Bucky's got a big flock of apple
chuckers in his hustling Washing-
ton camp here at Orlando with
Shanty Hogan the reformer eater
i to advise and catch them. They've
got to show remarkable improve-
ment if tlie Senators are to upset the
flag fight.
The team otherwise shapes up
much stronger than the club nosed
out of second and third places last
year An inlectious spirit has Clark
Griffith so delighted with his club
that he's got half a notion to make
a comeback himself.
“Never saw anything like it” beam-
ed the old fox of the Senators.
Buck Newsom again will head the
mound corps and should at least
duplicate his 1936 record of seven-
teen victories. Jimmy Deshong Pete
Appleton and Joe Cascerella arc
figured to round out the “big four”
of the staff.
Most promising of jthe pitching
nominees are Jack Salveson big
right hander from Los Angeles and
Dick Lanahan a southpaw from
Chattanooga.
Harris professes no worries about
catching with big Hogan behind the
plate. Cliff Bolton is slated to play-
second fiddle to Shanty. The infield
ol left handed hitters will be un-
changed with Joe Kuhel at first
Buddy Myer at second. Cecil Travis
at short and Buddy Lewis on third.
Fred Sing ton. former Alabama
football star will get a real chance
| in the outfield. With him as out- t
| field regulars will be Jonathan Stone
and fleet Ben Chapman. Jesse Hill i
I and Tat Wright stack up as the
I garden reserves.
Babe Ruth Picks
Old Team-Mates
For League Flag
NEW YORK. March 11. Babe
Ruth viewed the coming major
league baseball races from a bunker
along the St. Albans golf course
Thursday and predicted the New
York Yankees and St Louis Card-
inals would win by at least a mashie
shot.
"You can't beat that Yankee*'
power." said the Babe. "They've got
It from top to bottom They may
not win by as many games as they
did last year but they should win.”
The Cleveland Indians is "the
team the Yankees have to beat." he
said. "How they keep from winning.
I don't know. They’ve got power
and they should have pitching."
Ruth doesn't give Detroit much
of a chance.
Washington. Boston and Chicago
follow' in order in hit American
League list.
In the National League after the
Cards he picks the Pittsburgh Pi-
rates. Ne w York Giants and Chicago
Cubs in that order.
