A year ago Jack Slattery, former big leaguer, now coach of the Harv- ard baseball team, said: “Jocko Conlon of Harvard is one of the best college ball players I have ever seen. As a collegian he shows as much promise as did George Sis- ler when he was at Michigan. I feel sure that Conlon could step into the big league and make good without any minor league experience.” Conlon joined the Boston Braves this spring. He has been one of the sensations of the southern training eamps. It is possible that he wiil be start- ed at shortstop in place of the vet-| eran Larry Kopf, who seemed to have the position cinched. Boston, April 13—The Braves prob- ably will start the season with a vet- eran infield in spite of the plucky fight “Jocko’” Conlon, formerly of Harvard, has made for a berth as shortstop, it “ s intimated in dispatches from Ports- mouth, Va. Conlon’s injured ankle has almost placed him out of the run- ;. ping for the opening of the season. Fred Merkle Runs Wild With Bat, Gets 4 Homers Monree, N.

GOLDEN RULE T0 GOVERN WESTERN CONFERENCE GAME | Sk | Sportsmanship Rather Than Rowdy- ism Will Be Keynote in Base- ball Championships. | Chicago, April 13 (By Associated lPross).—A golden rule in baseball { wil prevall with the opening of the ! western conference championship secason today. The games will be conducted this season under a code| of “sportsmanship and courtesy in- stead of rowdyism.” Calling a pitcher a “big tramp,” “big bum” or similar names in an attempt to rattle him, will be regard- led as unspertsmanlike and® will not| be tolerated .cither from the players | or spectators, according to the code | announced by Major John L.

Last year's battery men, Wolfe, Chalmers and Jerry Griffen, pitchers, and Jimmy Clinton, catcher, probably will have regular positions. Phil Snyder, center flelder, is a good hit- ter and a flect baserunner, and is ex- pected to he a regular. His worst fault is that he is inciined to try to steal from third to home, despite the fact that there is a good catcher be- hind the bat. Corbin is another good outfielder, and with a latch of new material that probably will appear there is every reason to think that the Corbin out- fit this summer will be a snappy ag- gregation. * | Manager Tobin already has booked | several good games, but is going slow as he wants to meet only the very, best teams and those who can give the best guarantees, | On Tuesday night the squad had an energetic workout at the Boys'| club and Manager Tobin plans ta| continue these Tuesday night indoor sessions for several weeks, * | Frank L.
