Morning Watch
That Baseball Union
The latest ripple on the baseball sea, which is still
churning from the Mexican tidal wave, is the American
Baseball guild, an organization “to unionize professional
baseball players, in the words of the Associated Press.
What ho, a union of baseball flayers would be some
thing- Just what we wouldn’t know. There will be no
argument from this corner that the professional ballplayers
0f the Cards, Senators, Indians, and Athletics have a hard
road to travel, for these four teams pay so low that their
employes are known to the trade as “the coolies.”
I Brooklyn is another team that throws it’s money
around with the same gay spirit as a miser with a hang
over- Luis Jlmo and Mickey Owen would still be wearing
grook!} n umlorms for anything resembling a living wage
in a city like Brooklyn where living costs have doubled. A
third tjasemanfor theCuhsmaybe drawing $5,000 more than a third
baseman lor the Cards when they have an equal skill at the hot
Yes, the lot of baseball players in the major leagues is not al
ways a happy one. for there are major league living costs in a
city like New York and. the little guys of the team—that fifth out
fielder or that rookie lefthander—are not making as much money as
y0U would think.
• • • •
But a union means collective bargaining and how can you
set a fixed wage for a job when the talent applied to the task
varies to the degree it does? Let’s say that the union sets a
scale of S400 a month for ail major league shortstops. That would
mean that .Tack Wallaesa of the Athletics, an untried rookie, would
be drawing the same wage as Marty Marion, acknowledged as
the toP man at spot. It just doesn’t scan, as the old professor
would say.
There should be an adjustment.* We would think that it should
be made along certain wage minimums. For instance, if a man
is employed by a major league team it should be acknowledged that
he has enough baseball ability to draw a certain amount everytime
the eagle screams. And. this minimum should be the same whether
he is working for a Gold-Coast nine like the Cubs or a Penny-Pinch
ing Pack like the White Sox.
• • • •
This wouldn’t curtail the earnings of a Feller, DiMaggio, or
Williams but it would keep a lot of youngsters in the game who
now realize that most of the glory of playing on a major league
team is in the sports page, not in the bank book.
• • • •
Such men as Clark Griffith, Branch Hickey, Sam Breadon, ajftd
Horace Stoneham are still living in the Gay Nineties when the
average player liked baseball so much that he thought it a privilege
to play. Jorge Pasquel of the Mexican league, has shown the light
to the ballplayers and there should be some change in pay policies
of certain major league clubs as a result.
• • • •
But a union in the meaning of the UAW just wouldn’t work in
baseball. It would be like attempting to unionize concert singers,
doctors, or housewives.

Lawyer Mikan To Play Basketball
By JIMMY JORDAN
AP Newsfeatures
CHICAGO—When young George
Mikan autographed a $60,000 con
tract to play professional basket
ball for the Chicago American
Gears of the National Basketball
league, he also signed himself into
a future in the legal profession.
All Mikan has to do to pocket
the $60,000 is play basketball for
five years with the Gears.
But as soon as he gets his law
degree from De Paul university
next summer—he’ll go into the
legal department of the American
Gear Manufacturing company. His
unannounced salary for that work
will add to his income.
‘‘I may want to do a little bas
ketball coaching on the side just
to keep in touch with the game
when I go ‘over the hill’ as a pro
fessional player,” he said recently
after winning the most valuable
player award in the world profes
sional championship tournamenl
here. ‘‘The law profession will
iome first, though."
“Big Mike,” who never played
high school basketball and was
turned down by Notre Dame as
“too awkward” to play, was the
first rookie in the pro ranks ever
to win the most valuable award in
the world' tournament. He set a
new tournament scoring record of
100 points as the Gears finished
third in the 14-team meet.
He turned pro after he finished
an intercollegiate career at De
Paul during which he won almost
every honor available to a col
lege player, including the rating
of "all-time All-American” of the
Helms Foundation, Los Angeles
organization that rates college
cage stars.
With it all, this six-foot, ten-inch
giant has remained completely
modest, and probably has no peer
among the “big boys” of the game
as a team player. While setting
one scoring record after another,
he was asked: “why don’t you
shoot more?” His answer: “I
don’t care if I ever score, so long
as we win. I’ll pass to any player
cutting toward the basket if I
think he has a better chance to
score than I’d have.”
Mikan’s professors at De Paul
have complete faith in his future
in the legal profession. He’s al
most an “A” student despite the
time he lost from his classes and
lectures because of basketball. He
is “quick on the trigger” in class
room debates, an excellent speak
er, and his industry is unusual.
During the recent world tour
nament, he was taking mid-term
examinations.
“But he came down here in the
afternoon to help me coach the
freshmen,” Ray Meyer, his De
Paul coach said.
Mikan says he may play base
ball again this summer. As a
pitcher for an amateur team in
Joliet, HI., his home town, he had
a strikeout average of almost 11
per game last year, but passed up
tryout offers with major league
teams.
“Don’t worry, he’ll do all right
where he is without professional
baseball,” Meyer avers.
