Rochester Grateful For Cards' Support Rochesterians are thankful the Cardinals, for they came to Rochester in 1928, when baseball was in the doldrums, and after winning a pennant in the first year they built the new stadium and then furnished teams that won three more pennants and two junior World's Series titles. Although there has been this definite connection with the Cardinals, the club has been operated as an independent unit, with Warren C. Giles as the president. The clean, business-like policies have created tremendous good will.

It is doubtful whether any club in any city, writes Paul Howard in Sporting News, has more community prestige than that at Rochester. No Easy Job FACES PRESIDENT YATES IN HARMONIZING SOCCER FACTIONS IN ST. JOHN'S AND BROOKLYN COLLEGE All isn't so quiet along the Metropolitan Intercollegiate Soccer League front these days, and the task that confronts the European diplomats at present is nothing compared to the job that Prof. Arthur Yates, prexy of the league, faces in straightening out the Brooklyn John's rumpus. The source of the trouble is the cancellation of the Brooklyn College soccer game with St.

John's which to have decided the league championship. Brooklyn, which is leading the soccer race by a point, needed only a tie to clinch the title. However, the game has never been played. The teams could not agree on a date and as a result the game was cancelled. St.

John's claims that its only open date is on the Saturday before Christmas, while Brooklyn says it can't play that because the coach will then be Massachusetts date, and many of the players are working during the Christmas holidays. Brooklyn further charges while St. John's claims it is unable to play on weekdays, it played Stevens Tech and Seth Low during the week. St. John's replies that it did play on weekdays, but not with a full team.

It says Brooklyn wants to play the game on a weekday because it knows the Redmen will not be at full strength. Coach Reily of Brooklyn College maintains that St. John's has been using "ringers" from the evening session all along, and says he hasn't been satisfied with the selection of referees. "Why, they once sent over to referee a game a chap who was the elevator man at Long Island University," the Maroon and Gold mentor maintained. "For all I care, they can give St.

John's the cup. We don't play ball to win trophies. Furthermore, I don't think I'll join the league next season. The organization isn't running things right, and they think I'm a Communist or Fascist because I've raised some objections to their ideas. They haven't a following and yet want to book games with Princeton and Harvard." That gives you some idea of what Arthur Yates of Long Island University has to face.

If you believe that you have a workable plan, don't fail to communicate with him.

White Sox Recall Bocek, Ex-Collegian Just because Milton Bocek didn't light some place and stay put in 1934, his first full season in professional ball, the Chicago White Sox are not discouraged about the future value of the young outfielder. Bocek is the lad who jumped from the University of Wisconsin campus to the Sox in August in 1933 and in a short time was in the lineup. Lew Fonseca, then manager of the Pale Hose, saw that he had hitting possibilities but decided he needed minor league experience Spring and optioned him to Dallas. Subsequently Bocek served with Longview, Columbus and Elmira, but in spite this extensive traveling the Chicago, club exercised its option of recall on him. N.
