Schoolboy Baseball Teams
Ready For Austin Tourney
BY HAROLD V. RATLIFF
Eight teams will go to Austin
next week for the state schoolboy
baseball tournament.
Interest will be at a minimum
compared to the other sports but
it shouldn’t be like that.
True, baseball was the last of
the major sports to come under the
aegis of the Texas Interscholastic
League and it takes time to build.
But baseball seems to be going
much slower than the other sports
did.
Fewer schools play it than any
other sport in the league program.
Yet it is one of the most important
and gives less trouble than any of
them. There have been few ineligi
bility squabbles.
Baseball was the last sport to
be taken into the program. For
years the schools held out on
grounds that there was more
chance of a boy running into pro
fessionalism. No other sport had
the temptations of baseball, they
said. Too many towns would get
a ball club together and pay the
boys to play.
But at Dallas a man named P.
C. Cobb was making baseball an
important part of the sports pro
gram. He showed what could be
done.
The League instituted baseball
as one of its official sports in 1948.
And for 16 years it has been con
ducted without the hint of even a
minor scandal.
American Legion, Little League
and other leagues for the young
sters was the reason. The boys
played in these leagues and passed
up the summer semi-pro clubs.
Baseball has a struggle to get
its just dues because the football
coaches generally don’t want it be
cause it might interfere with their
spring training (for the big
schools) and the track coaches
don’t want it because it interferes
with their activities.
There has been a proposal to
play baseball in the summer when
school is out and this would prob
ably be just the boost the game
needed. Then it would not inter
fere with other sports and chances
of drawing a crowd would be bet
ter. But too many schools oppose
this because it would mean added
expense—coaches during the sum
mer months would have to be paid
extra.
However, this year the state
tournament is being held two
weeks later than usual and will be
going on when school is out. It’s
a sort of experiment to see if base
ball would do better if it had a
better season.
