SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., TUESDAY, APRIL 12, 1921 .Rule Against Summer Ball Stirs Southern Collegians : Rickard Viewing Site For Fight SOME PLAYERS DECLARE WAR ON THE NEW CODE BY H. C. BYRD. the south are chafing under the new OLLEGE base ball players in restriction of the Southern Intercollegiate Conference, which puts summer base ball on the blacklist for college players and prohibits the acceptance of money for parti cipation therein. Many members of nines representing southern colleges and universities have been getting several hundred dollars per month only a rather easy, pleasant means during vacatian, which has been not of earning a livelihood, but also of +adding considerable change for spending money in addition to their allowances checks from home. { The ruling adopted by the southern conference provides that not only shall players not engage in summer ball for money, but that they shall £Ct permission to compete with any stri v amateur team with which they intend to affiliate themselves for occasional amateur contests. Some of the players are accepting the situa- tion with good grace: others are dis- playing about as much good will to- ward the ruling as a bolshevik would toward thé edict of a law and order society. How They View It. On a recent trip south the writer » took the occasion to question directly several college ball plavers he knows have been receiving rather large sal- aries during the summer, and the re- actions have been diverse, to say the + least. One pjayer. in response to the direct question, “What are you going to do this summer, now that you can- not play ball any more?” replied im- mediately: “Nothing, I suppose. ex- cept get an honest-to-goodness somewhere. Another man w the same question, sai where under an assumed name, where they won't know me. The fellows up north come down here and play under - assumed names and go back and play college ball. If the big university men up north can come down here and get away with it, I see no reason why I can’t go up north and play up there under an assumed name and come back here and do the same.” » Some of the men laughed at the sit- uation developed by the new ruling and regarded it as being something which they expected to come some time and that now or later made little difference. All realize that as far as the south is concerned, and it is well known that the south is the section in which summer ball has been played most generally by college men, the of summer ball is going to be as dead as “Hector’s pup,” because the whole south is in accord on the ques- tion and it would be almost impos- sible for any man to play under an assumed name or to accept money under any pretense without somebody connected with one or more of the tnstitutions which have adopted the rule learning of it. Starts Opposition Move. ‘Two players at a certain school re- cently approached players of a team Tepresenting another university with this brilliantly conceived plan: “You fellows go home and start a propa- ganda to have the rule done away + with; we are working here to get up ! sentiment against it; also, playing, us we do, most of the representative southern teams, can get the players on the other teams to work up senti- ment against the rule in their schools and in that way we can kill the whole proposition.” This kind of sentiment, happy to say, is not typical of the general sentiment. One man who has played professional ball under an assumed name unknown to_his college authorities presented a view of the situation which shows .an opposite trend of mind, and which, while not any more general than the other extreme mentioned, certainly is 1 players! 'm glad the rule is passed. It shows that all are going to try to live up to high standards, even if they are not able to do so in all cases. Personally, I shall not play any more summer ‘ball, as I prefer to remain eligible for college teams; also, personally, I in- tend to try to help my collegd enforce the rule, even if we do have to bar some good player once in a while. Frankly, I have been paying a good part of my expenses through college . by playing bdall in the summer time, 1 shall miss the money, but will get by in one way or another. And just @s frankly, I don't mind telling ypu that I don’t believe that summer base ball ever did me or any other college ball player any good.
