‘SERVING TEXAS AGGIES”
Baseball Tourney
In Austin June 6-7
By HAROLD Y. RATLIFF
Associated Press Sports Writer
The last shots of the sports
year in Texas high schools will
be fired at Austin June 6-7 with
the annual baseball tournament.
Baseball is the weakest of Texas
Interscholastic League major-
sports. There are only 660 schools
playing the game. The state
tournament doesn’t draw too well.
Even with baseball hot Seguin,
which is close to Austin, in the
tournament last year the three-
day affair had only about 5,500
attendance.
Compared to this is over 50,000
for the state basketball tourna
ment, 20,000 for the state track
meet and 30,000 or more for the
state football championship games.
When there was only one or two
divisions in football the final
games reached as high as 47,000.
Short Season
What is the solution for base
ball ? Some of the schools think
it would come if the season was
continued into the summer, say
through June. Baseball has a very
short season. ’ It begins in mid-
April and runs only about six
weeks. It can’t be started any
earlier because of the weather sit
uation and it can’t be run any
longer because school is out.
Advocates of summer baseball
says its advantages are that the
students will suffer no loss of
school time, that final examina
tions and graduation are out of
the way and that baseball contin
ued into the summer will mean no
interference with or from track
and spring football.
Opponents bring up the question
of the coach’s pay for working in
the summer, that summer baseball
will interfere with vacations and
will keep the boys from jobs dur
ing the summer.
Some of the schools, however,
run for 11 months out of the year
and pay salaries for that time,
so the coach’s pay would not be
a problem. A month’s pay for a
coach wouldn’t sound like much
for the other schools bpt three or
four hundred dollars means plenty
to some.
It would appear that summer
baseball for the schoolboys would
prevent trouble with the Inter
scholastic League’s amateur rule.
This rule forbids a boy from play
ing on a team with any paid play
er, says he must not receive ex
pense money for travel, meals or
lodging but that the expense mon
ey must be handled in the same
way that the high school coach
would handle the funds. He can
not accept money from the gate
receipts; even a collection taken
up for his hitting a home run or
doing something outstanding can
not be accepted.
Big Blocks
There are some big blocks in
the way of summer baseball for
the high schools but that does
see to be about the only thing
that might put this fine sport on
a strong basis. The games should
draw good attendance, especially
if played at night, and it seems
reasonable that more schools
might participate if it should be
extended into the summer.
Each American League team
will make three trips to Loa km
les this season to play the Angel.!,
one of two new teams in the cir.
cuit.
