He dwelled on the fact that there was only one Sisler. His statement was a very broad one that possible should have had some limitations. PR Unless a college player was able to hoid his own in the major leagues, many experts agree with Yost that en- tering professional baseball would be a mistake. | Mr. Yost points out the fack that a baseball career at best is a short one and that a college graduate who spent the same time in the field for which he had been fitted, would e benefit thereby far more than the extra com- pensation received from playing ball. True, the career of a ball player is usually short, but then there is Eddie Colling, who has heen at it for about 16 years and is still a star. 1t would be possible to point out as score of cases similar to Collins. v s 0. that a college bhase- 1t strikes some ball star, capable regular in the 1 mistake is he couple or more years delivering as a make spend a show, will no in the majors. a baseball career -may have many drawbacks, it has its certain| advantages, financially at least, and very often this one advantage offers| a stepping stone to greater things in | the fleld for which the colleglan was| edueated. The first 100 years are al- ways the hardest. The first four or five years for the average struggling collegian in any business seems just ke an even 100, A baseball career often breaches over this chasm and gets the “Rah, Rah” athlete off to a fiying start in his chosen profession.

It may have been more, surely no less, Mor his share of the world series he recelved over $6000, Thus for his season with the New| York Yankees, six montha, Haines re- ceived better than $10,000. Rather a nice nest egg for some collegian with ambitions to shine as a lawyer, doe. tor or eigineer. It would tide him over many lean days as he walted for clients or patients, Perhapn Mr. Yost is right in his contention that professional ball is not | A good ficld for the college star, How. ever, there is no denying the fact that any player capable of delivering in the big show could use a tew years' wsalary to decided advantage As a step. ping stone to greater things in other fields, RANGERS OUTCLASS | dribbling and floor work was fine, but NIGHT TO 7 GOOD BOWLING LEAGUE TEN MINUTES OVERTIME PLAY TO DEFEAT RAMBLER QUINTET ISan Toys Finally Win in Y.
