New York May 10 AP The Metropolitan Collegiate Baseball Conference disqualified seven players on three teams for professionalism, a tough rule to enforce but one the league upholds. The piece notes past lax attitudes toward such violations in college sports and mentions Sugar Ray Robinson planning a $2,500 golf open, plus references to Bob Porterfield and other baseball figures. It also discusses Hal Newhouser's appeal, Joe Walcott versus Louis, and Yale pitcher Frank Quinn turning down $35,000 from the Yankees to stay in school.
